Or sleep them. Once you they are caught they just wait stupidly to be eaten, why don´t have some special weapons like some spray?
Or atleast some new traps that make them fall, why all they do is flying like retard flies around them?
>>154585812
Medieval societies don't know shit about aerosol
>>154585812
We had this discussed since the very beginning and we all concluded that it was because the author was a complete hack
>why not use hot air balloons?
>why not use sticky grenades?
>if you have a tech that can lauch a man, then you should have a tech that could launch giant razor blades at the titans
And so on
>>154585886
They legit fly around using fuckin air canisters though.
>>154585886
3D maneuver gear literally run on gaz.
>>154585936
>why not use hot air balloons?
KIROV REPORTING
>>154585812
>not using poison
These new manga are real shit tier as far as plot is concerned.
>>154585812
If I remember correctly, technological development (especially for weapons) was tightly controlled with the previous king.
>>154585812
>why all they do is flying like retard flies around them?
Because that's what the author likes.
Flying around doesn't make much sense at all. The G forces would kill the soldiers, the hooks wouldn't attach strongly enough to support the acceleration, and the gas canisters would never have enough power to accelerate them that hard in the first place.
The swords are dumb too.
Everything about the story is dumb. Just go with it, or drop it.
>>154585812
I still laugh at that chapter wherein they invented a "Great Titan Killer"
Which turned out to be just a piece of machine that drops logs at titan heads then hauls the log back up. Oh, and it can only be placed at the doorway of the wall lmao
>>154585936
>>why not use hot air balloons?
Abnormals. They would just be wasting resources each time an abnormal/shifter destroyed one.
>>why not use sticky grenades?
Limited resource. They're not allowed to go outside of the wall/island. They are also aren't allowed to dig. So their explosive sources are extremely limited. Their newest weapon was only developed thanks to the coup removing all these restrictions.
>>if you have a tech that can lauch a man, then you should have a tech that could launch giant razor blades at the titans
They do have launching mechanisms. They used it against Annie multiple times. You clearly just want to complain for the sake of it.
>>154586224
>Abnormals. They would just be wasting resources each time an abnormal/shifter destroyed one.
And they would still be a terrific weapon when those are not around.
And in the worst case you could still use them as scout.
A hot air balloon has a maximum altitude of 21,027 m, you idiot Even if you send a shifter who can throw giant boulders, they are going to miss like mad.
The baloon on the other can just drop bombs at them, return back to base to resupply, then drop some more bombs.
Considering that they have enough explosives to cover the ENTIRE roof of the wall with giant cannons, then no. They definitely have enough explosives to create entire grenadier platoons and arm airship hordes.
Dude, they have cannons. OFCOURSE they have a launching mechanism. My point is why rely on cannon balls when you can have razor lauchers that can slice a titan through?

>>154585812
I remember that in one of the chapters it was said that all the technological advances and shit was prohibited and the inventors were killed on the spot
>>154586750
That's just the author's response after getting rammed in the ass by logic and reason.
He insists on keeping the story stupid
>>154585812
ITT: Idiots.
The royal family suppressed any technological advancements that would allow for long distance travel outside the walls because reasons. Similarly they suppressed technology that would make it too easy to defeat titans for the same reasons.
Litearl idiots, apply yourself.
>>154586831
Yeah, the author was an idiot for thinking that that is a valid excuse for all the stupidity in the story
>>154586831
It's not about technological advancements but about application of already in-use technologies.
>>154586891
>application of already in-use technologies.
That is technological advancement.
>>154586891
Like? Give some examples be quiet.
>>154586928
Read the thread and use common sense. That or pay /k/ a visit and have them rape your show
>>154586891
>It's not about technological advancements but about application of already in-use technologies.
>>154586915
>>154587036
It's engineering innovation, the tech by itself is still the same.
>>154586928
Read the thread.
It's actually easier to make an hot air baloon than gaz canisters.
>>154587098
>>154586861
>>154586829
>>154586974
The king actively wanted the people inside the walls to die
The reason they have the 3DMG is because this way they can keep the few weirdos who want to go fight the titans happy and not cause a coup, while still leaving them mostly helpless against them so that only the lunatics would actually go outside
>>154587365
More stupid excuses to add on the list.
I'm so glad I dropped this shit early
>>154587396
Why is it an excuse?
>>154587396
Hey, I do think it's stupid but it's entertaining.
>>154587431
Gee, I don't know, anon.
How do you understand basic economical, political, and societal structure?
A king that would order the murder of his own people would be assassinated by his own people in the blink of an eye
>>154587488
Even if that king has brainwashing powers, keeps his desires secret, can transform into a titan, his very existence is a secret and is protected by a secret police?
Interesting theory, especially considered that's what actually happened eventually anyway
>>154587597
Man, I dropped the manga but the answer is yes.
Every single human has something called the "mirror nueron" that allows us to feel symphathy for one another.
The anyone would shot the king immediately once they saw that his policies are getting the people killed. Even if he is an ubershifter, he knows not when a stab at the back would occur
>>154585812
Who gives a fuck anymore after the latest chapters? The titan threat became nonexistent almost immediately.
>>154587488
>A king that would order the murder of his own people would be assassinated by his own people in the blink of an eye
Actually it depend on the level of repression and propaganda/brainwashing.
And if he's good enough he will let the people do the dirty work for him.
>>154587597
People can still take control of... everything he and his secret police does not control.
>>154587703
What happened?
Did Eren got more than controlling the titans?
>>154587680
Then after the king dies the coordinate gets passed to someone else and all of a sudden you lose control of the entire situation
Also if the coordinate gets out of the royal family the powers is pretty much lost, and the only people who knew just how nihilist the king was were the king's relatives
>>154587706
Eventually, that's what happened
>>154587733
2 times skips in 2 chapters
Chapter 90 there's an almost 1 year time skip and all the titans are killed off screen and they play in the ocean while Eren fantasizes about genocide
Chapet 91 has a 3 year time skip and there's a suicidal girl that throws grenades and a bearded titan shifter
Eren's gonna be dead by the next chapter at this rate
>>154585936
>hot air balloons
It's kinda revealed in the manga thatthe goverment suppressed technological advancement so that the mass public wouldn't find out about the truth
>>154587945
Yes, we know and we don't care.
No excuse can be valid enough to cover the stupidity of the plot
>>154587680
>anyone would shot the king immediately once they saw that his policies are getting the people killed.
Oh, so tyranny, despotism, and demagoguery are impossible. Good to know.
>>154587983
Yeah I kinda agree, but that wasn't the dumbest part of the story though which says a lot actually.
>>154588049
That's because the elites benefits. The king's policies are threatens everyone
>>154587945
Well it would make sense because in real world Governments are fucking up the technology and targeting the young generation so they don´t get caught in their shitty bussiness/making difficult to competition.
>>154588049
you did sage wrong you knobjockey
>>154586224
>Limited resource
You could make that argument about anything though.
Even the shit they actually use like fuel for their maneuvering gear and gunpowder.
