>>155877645
Yes.

Am I seriously the only one that kinda liked how the whole titan thing turned out? Sure the relation between this and WW2 is a little silly, but its waay better than "muh titans are aliens" or "muh titans are a punishment from god".
In the end, we got answers. Properly explained answers and a further plot setup that goes beyond the mystery "what are titans?". Although I really hope this won't turn into a generic titan vs titan where titans functions as mechs.

See, this is why I know you're a retard. The whole series was retarded since the moment Eren decided to not stay dead when he was swallowed.
This series is shit and you're shit for realizing it just now.

>>155878788
Where the titans came from isnt the problem here though.
I mean, right now all we know is that its most likley the titans came litterly from the devil.
But thats not the problem
This story is now going to be about
Group A being """evil""", since the mindless titans aren't becoming a problem anymore now the writer needs a new villian. And that means making Group A look as unrealistically villinious as possible.
Its weak writing and i dont see it changing

Why are people so fucking obsessed with jews, hitler and ww2?
The only connection with ww2 this has is the fact that wall people are from the axis powers
Tech is ww1, internment camps and ghettos have always existed

>>155879054
But the whole point is that group A isnt completely evil. In the flashback it shows that both sides are extremely biased (Some believe the titan godess were evil while others believe she was a saint) and that there are no "good" side.

>>155880367
people like disaster and wars,what else is the to say? sure there are people who cries and want peace but they are the most hypocrite ones after all

>>155880367
>Why are people so fucking obsessed with jews
Nigger, you want to take another look at their arms?

>>155880367
Do you not realise how over used the jew tropes are in most media? Its blatantly obvious the writer is making a comparison with jews during Adolfs reign.
So obvious that its fucking cringy how over exagerated the arc is.
From the bands on their arms, to the shitty way the marley treat the titan children, to the time period where everything is based.

The only problem is that the comparison isnt even fuckign consistant, and you have the titans making an underground movement (in some reference to the hitlers nat-soc movement)

>>155880855
Its too bad thats not what they showed through out the entire arc. There is litterly no marley member that actually acts human or even somewhat nuetral during the time.
The only member showing an ounce of compassion was revealed to be a titan in secret.
What youre refering to is just the rewriting of history. I mean anyone can agree that you dont treat people like shit because of their ancestors. So the marleys are still depicted as evil

>>155881015

This is litterly the only reason why

You do realize it's literally a bizzarro world?
Don't try to draw comparisons
The world is literally upside down, and the sun literally rises from the west
If anything there are 2 possibilities
1, the bizzarro world has the blonde blue ayed aryans, so the eldians since they're represented by axis powers being German, Italian and Mikasa so Japanese, as the oppressed minority
2, it's a reference to Japanese concentration camps in the US because the Marleys are clearly British/American from their names
It's probably a mix of both

>>155881341
you call Kruger a british/american name?

>>155881341
It doesnt matter what fucking universe the story takes place in. It was still written in our time, and in our world.

>>155881503
That's why Kruger was an Eldian
>>155881589
So it's either of those, not everything is about jews

>>155877645
>This is now going to devolve into
>group a is evil and disgusting, look how they had this little girl be eaten by dogs.
>while
>group B are just oppressed good boys,they just tryna live their titan lives n shieeet, the marleys are litterly JUST HITLER

Considering the latest chapters, I would be surprised if Isayama portrays the annihilation of Marleyans as a righteous act. This is the same guy who aknowledged Grisha as a biased individual and a crazy warmonger who commited attrocities and pushed his fucked up legacy onto his children. If Isayama truly believes that Group B's cause is just, why did he write Grisha that way ?

What I expect will happen, is the wall people (guys like Zackley, Pixis, Flocke and Armin) will push for the release of the wall titans to exterminate Marley and our main protagonist Eren will stand against it. Also we haven't seen much of the good Marleyans because so far we've seen things from the perspective of the biased Grisha and the persecuted Ymir, this leads to having false assumptions about their whole nation, assumptions you're having right now. Give it some time and we'll see the innocent Marleyans who don't throw rocks at Eldians, who don't stand for this war, and who are probably silenced by their own government.

And Eren would definitely be in favor or unleashing the wall titans to kill everyone
Ending is gonna be an Eldian phyrric victory

>>155881857
He faked his blood test not change his identity
Besides, for all we know he might have changed his name too but simply told Grisha his real nane

>>155881106
>gets triggered from his own limited allegory repository
Try to imagine a world in which there has been more than just one group of oppressed peoples, depictions of which so annoys you that it asks one to have empathy with 'the oppressed.' Now realize you've always lived in that world, and that nobody is clean. Just about every ethno group has at one time or another been in a position to both oppress and be the oppressed. This very narrative speaks to a time when their positions were reversed.

>people actually read this for the story
nigga why do you think nobody liked the Uprising Arc. The only reason this series has any sales is the Titan Fights and fujo.

>>155877645
Do you have the reading comprehension of a mutt? The whole point of that story is to put the reader in the perspective that they haven't been on the side of humanity all along. They've been on the side of the ones they thougth were the enemy.

Some people shouldn't be allowed to post on the internet.

Listen man, its great and all that you didnt suffer the vast amount of over-exageration and propoganda about the holocaust, but alot of people did. Most americans in fact, even europeans.

So if yorue a hack writer and you want to create oppressed group A and the evil oppressor group B, you're going to make alot of comparisons to the nazi jew memes.

The problem is, it really doesnt matter who you're trying to compare it to irl. This is shitty story telling any way you see it. and thats where my real complaint is

>>155882842
I'm European and I did suffer through the propaganda, I just never cared, like most people don't really give a fuck about it
And also the author is Japanese, why would they care about something happening on the other side of the planet almost a century ago?

>>155877645
Yes, basically.

>>155881996
>Why is Grisha biased?

Just read his flashback, young Grisha (aka. "eldians are the chosen ones, marleyans suck, we should kill them all" guy, aka. what OP thinks the morale of the story is from Isayama's point of view) thought Eldians were superior and righteous because he believes that shit he read in the book. Isayama totally called out how retarded Grisha was.

>And Eren would definitely be in favor or unleashing the wall titans to kill everyone

He would not, and this was foreshadowed in the last chapter we saw him in, he's having second thoughts about all this, because it would mean :
1 - Sacrifice Historia, which is a big no-no, Eren cares for his friends.
2 - Going outside the walls, which brought back memories of Fay's death, implying that if they go outside they'll suffer a terrible fate.

There's been an ongoing misconception on this board that Eren is a constant ragetard who wants to kill everybody who gets in the way of his freedom. But this is the guy who willingly let himself be put in prison by the suvery corps, who has no issue with being part of an army that has him monitored at all times, who was begging to be eaten for the of sake everyone else and who has literally only 8 years to live. Time to let go of your headcanon character analysis.

>Ending is gonna be an Eldian phyrric victory
Maybe, but I bet Eren won't take part in it.

>>155883019
Because they were allied to those people? Nigger i dont know, i dont really care its STILL hack writing

>>155882349
>>155882842
I find it funny the world's setting had been held back for as long as it had to conscientiously avoid making any relatable comparisons, likely to encourage the reader to suspend their innate loyalties, or to throw them up in the air, and that as soon as that background is filled in a bit some will automatically leap to the conclusion that the mangaka was just chomping at the bit all along to follow a tired trope to its natural conclusion, and rush to identify with whom they feel their real world ethno loyalties should rest. Even if that trope isn't an element of that mangaka's culture, and even if he'd been so obviously playing with the concept for awhile now of turning a story of survival into one of oppression turned on its head. If it had been his goal from the start to make an allegory story about Jews suffering at the hands of nazis, there'd have been no point to keep

>Listen man, its great and all that you didnt suffer the vast amount of over-exageration and propoganda about the holocaust, but alot of people did
And some people seems to have lost the point for their suffering annoyance.

What can Marleys do beside legalized discrimination?

The point is, Eldians aren't chosen ones, not in a positive sense at least. They are regular people, who can turn into mindless tools of war.

>>155884602
You're really trying too hard to give yourself a reason to hate them for no reason. Pretty much every group of people that has been shit on heavily by other people had some kind of identification so people could fuck them over easily. Regardless, if an individual is not deserving of that kind of treatment, regardless of how similar they are to jews, niggers, or whatever else it is you hate, that's no reason to blindly get upset that people empathize with them. If I recall, the Nazi party themselves were very big about playing the "we were oppressed and shit". Of course, they weren't wrong about that, but they did use it as an excuse to fuck over innocent people simply for being similar to people they hated.

>>155884669
Oh yeah, sure, the OP being full of /pol/ lingo is a total coincidence.

At no point has the story told you to sympathize with either side. The only reason the Marley seem "inhuman" is because they are a secretive and mostly mysterious faction so we don't know a lot about them.

Like what are you even complaining about? You were okay with Titans being the bad guys and the main characters trying to stop them, you were okay with the Reiss family being the bad guys and the main characters trying to stop them but now all of a sudden the possibility of the Marley being the bad guys is some absolutely terrible concept that goes against all logic or something? What the hell is wrong with you?

Let's forget the part where the eldians live in concentration camps because their ancestors alledgedly were evil, get killed for fun and they're used as war slaves by forcing them to turn into mindless titans.

>>155886181
I just want to be able to read this manga without having to constantly be reminded of the cognitively dissonant assertions of neo-Marleyan-socialist's that the Eldian suppression never happened and they can't wait to do it again?

>>155886181
All those boards where people use that shitty lingo are filled with newfags and normalfags, that kind of shitty memespouting bullshit has no place on /a/ and only crossboarders use it. If he wants to discuss anime or manga he should explain why he thinks the characters are good or bad, and not resort to buzzwords from an especially shitty kind of identity politics.
