The segment in episode 1 centered on Paul Duncan and North 2 was.... beautiful.

The way their relationship transformed and evolved into a near tactile bond, gave me goosebumps.

So I just watched the Attack on Titan finale...

Twice...

First time honestly I didn't really like it...
It felt happy compared to how sad AOT is...and some parts felt rushed...


Then I rewatched and wow...
It's very easy to miss things when watching for the first time...

I enjoyed it far far better on a rewatch

So sad and happy at the same time that AOT has ended....

The 10 years journey....

I love how Armin shared Eren's sins with him...perhaps they are truly devils...but at the same time humans who made a choice embarassed embarassed embarassed


Some lines for example have far deeper meaning...
Like when Eren said he's an îdiot but looked away as he said it...which I believe expresses escapism...
Escaping the reality of what he did and why he did it

Also I mixed up something in my statement...

About why Eren said he's an îdiot...I mixed up the timeline...

I just noticed it...
The reason actually is not exactly the same as I thought... because he actually said that after admitting he was a slave to his desire...

History repeated itself...

The boy went into the tree...

But I don't think Titans return because of Zeke's speech about why Titans and paths exist...

It has to do with Ymir's nature...

Unless that boy after the end credits choose something similar ...

It's more likely that something else...some form of life will be born

#copied from Reddit

Thoughts?

1. Eren is not being truthful.

To preface the ending, Eren and Armin’s mindsets are a critical factor in understanding their conversation. Armin sees Eren as a stoic but altruistic hero who is doing all of these extreme actions for the sake of his loved ones. Eren, however, has a more selfish desire with more complicated feelings. He is ashamed to admit that in front of Armin which is why he goes along with Armin's justifications like "this was all to make us look like heroes", "did you really need to go this far just for our sake?". Even then, Eren is not a good liar which is why we see him looking away from Armin and avoiding his questions.

If you have been following the story closely, then you’ll realize that the nature of this conversation is very similar to Eren and Reiner’s conversation in Marley. Eren tries to give Reiner an “out” multiple times when it comes to his responsibility for his sins, “you were just kids who were brainwashed by Marley”, “you just wanted to save the world from the island devils”. Deep down, Reiner knows that it was his own choice that led to so much suffering which is why he wanted to be judged and punished. That’s why he eventually has that emotional breakdown and confesses to Eren his true feelings and motivations. All of this is a mirror to Eren in this conversation.

2. Eren and Armin view freedom differently.

Their second scene is just an affirmation of how they perceive freedom because it's an exact replication of how Eren and Armin reacted to the book of the outside world. Armin looks at the flowing, burning water with awe while Eren is focused on looking at him, dissatisfied, because he could never truly see what Armin is seeing. Armin is driven by curiosity while Eren is driven by not being free. This doesn't add anything we already didn't know but it's a good reminder of how Eren has remained consistent in both his motivation and characterization.

3. What were Eren’s future memories?

For their third scene, it’s important to understand Eren’s future memories and the basics of the Founding titan. Without a doubt, the furthest thing Eren saw when he touched Historia was the rumbling; “that scenery” if you will. Everything related to his death, Mikasa, the final fight, etc were all things he saw after acquiring the full Founding power (when he convinced Ymir to help him). Armin, once again, wants to emphasize with Eren by rationalizing his actions, that he was suffering all this time by himself because of his future memories. Eren, however, does not agree or affirm what Armin is saying. He simply states that acquiring the full Founding Titan’s power has destroyed his sense of time.
Re: What Series Are You Watching Now? Part 2 by Baddestguyp(m): 5:37pm On Nov 05, 2023
4. Pre-rumbling Eren vs Post-rumbling Eren.

This discrepancy is very important because this means that Eren pre-rumbling and Eren post-rumbling are different. After activating the rumbling, Eren is in a state of inactivity and depression, the exact opposite of his determined and driven self. Why? Because killing millions of innocent people was never something he prepared for. He obviously saw that he would do it and knew he had to do it, but it is more of a means to an end to achieve his actual goal; to be unconditionally free. When it came down to actually killing people, any sane person who has to commit such a deed would not be able to directly face it and it obviously took a hit to Eren's psyche. He sees the scenery and "achieves" freedom but the actual result of his idealistic dream is not satisfying to him, so much as the pursuit of freedom is. He reverts back to being a child because the only way to cope is to be ignorant and see the whole world as monstrous creatures who want to kill him. So he didn’t put up a “facade”before the rumbling nor did he suddenly “switch up” after the rumbling. This is just the natural progression of Eren.

5. The Dina Reveal.

A common misconception people have is that the death of his mother was Eren’s motivation. However, his yearning for freedom is innate and already manifested as a child when he learned about the predicament he was in. He does not have nationalistic agendas like Grisha or Floch and repeatedly emphasizes that he is who he is, because that’s just who he is. He was never involved with the politics of the world because he doesn’t care about it. Yelena, Zeke, Floch, etc were all just tools for him to achieve his goal. Basically, Eren defines himself as being unconditionally free without restraints and the Dina twist ultimately showcases this. He sets out on this path not because Marley’s titans killed his mother, but because he wanted to. This reveal is paradoxical, uncomfortable, and unsettling; but this is Eren’s way of fully asserting his identity and sense of freedom. He wants to defy the cruel, seemingly predetermined world and live life on his own terms. Influencing Dina was the earliest, Eren-central event that could be controlled by the Founder’s powers. That’s why he did that.

6. The “Cringe” Moment.

Now we see Eren and Armin as adults on the beach. Remember, Armin still believes that Eren is a noble and altruistic hero who is doing everything for his friends but now, he’s challenging that notion. He asks an important question about the nuance of Eren’s supposed heroic agenda. The idea that Mikasa will simply just move on from Eren and find happiness comes from the overglamourization of self-sacrifice. Hurting your friends, never communicating with them, and then justifying all of that through worldwide slaughter and then dying; none of that is what his friends wanted for or asked for. They would be left distraught as one of their close friends died for a goal that goes against what they believe in (the scouts being fighters for humanity).

7. The Real Eren.

And finally, Eren can’t stand the pressure anymore and breaks, revealing his true emotions. Once his overwhelming drive to pursue freedom was over, his other motivations and feelings began to surface. He hasn’t really accepted his inevitable death, he wants to stay with Mikasa and his friends, he still believes that he has to die for his sins, and he was driven primarily for selfish reasons. Eren never had some grand plan. His actions were not part of a calculated strategy solely for the greater good or for his friends. He is not a monolithic figure of freedom or destruction; he is a deeply flawed individual whose pursuit of an unattainable ideal led him down a path of terrible choices. He has flaws, contradictions, and insecurities. In a post-rumbling environment where he has unlimited power and knowledge; he is now facing the reality of his choices. Here is a man experiencing a whirlwind of emotions of guilt, regret, and yearning as he approaches his death.

Is Eren not free because he was being guided by his future memories? Or is Eren free because those future memories were what he wanted to do?

I believe he was able to live a life that was on his own terms. Eren may not understand the root of his desire, but he knows that that is what he personally wanted. In his point of view, that is freedom. The ability to live a life unaffected by outside influences and doing what you want to do. Whether he completes the rumbling or is stopped by the alliance, he is satisfied. Of course, Eren still loves and trusts his friends so if he were to die, he’d at least want his death to result in something positive for them.

8. How Eren Freed Ymir.

Now about Ymir and Mikasa. Firstly, Eren did NOT free Ymir all by himself. Eren offered her an ultimatum, either to lend him the power to end the world or remain in paths forever. I am making this sound stark and harsh towards Eren but after activating the rumbling, Eren allows Ymir to do whatever she wants. Essentially, he treated her like an actual human being with real emotions and agency. That is why she was so emotionally moved by Eren’s words and actions.

9. Why did Ymir “love” Fritz?

So why didn’t this truly free Ymir? Because Ymir’s idea of freedom is fundamentally different to Eren’s. She does not desire mass violence, world destruction, or an empty world. Her character is defined by a desire to feel needed, to feel connected with others, and to ultimately feel like a human. This is the reason why Ymir created a powerful and undying body, why she continued to serve Fritz despite having the ability to instantly kill him, why she looks at him for approval, and why she formed a realm where she would forever serve her blood. All of this stems from an unhealthy and misguided view on emotional fulfillment. King Fritz can be viewed as being the only prominent figure in her life and his demands for Ymir grew to astronomical proportions. Ymir never questions this and never uses her overwhelming power against him, because she “accepts” all of this and wants validation and approval. She was a young, lonely, and naive girl who was given the power of the gods. All of this manifested into Ymir’s twisted “love” for King Fritz, trapping her in a never ending cycle filled with suffering and violence.

If you have been reading along, then you would notice that the obstacles some characters face in AoT are not necessarily physical forces, but internally. Eren isn't free not because the world wants to kill him, but because he is unable to let go of his personal ambition that defined his life and birthright. Ymir isn't free not because King Fritz enslaved her, but because her yearning for love and to feel connected manifested in an unhealthy and obsessive way.
Re: What Series Are You Watching Now? Part 2 by Baddestguyp(m): 5:38pm On Nov 05, 2023
10. How Armin Freed Ymir.

During the rumbling, Ymir observes the chaos in an attempt to find meaning. Armin offers an optimistic contrast to Ymir through his idea that we should enjoy the present, no matter how trivial or small the moments may be. Sometimes, people are consumed by grand gestures like immortality or genocide or great power that they miss things that are right in front of them. Instead of trying to break free of perpetual suffering, people can find small but meaningful pockets of happiness and thrive through that despite being surrounded by chaos. Even Ymir, a girl who had very little in her life, was able to resonate with this because she realized that she could have dedicated her love towards her daughters.

11. The Similarities and Differences Between Mikasa And Ymir.

Mikasa’s actions have a more direct impact on Ymir because her relationship with Eren is a parallel to Ymir and Fritz. Both have an innate affinity with family/connection but grew a strong devotion with a prominent male figure in their lives. While this devotion may have emotionally guided them, it grew into an unhealthy obsession that limited their freedom and made them oblivious to the other aspects of their lives, including the clear flaws in the male figures they were devoted to. Eren and Fritz also both seek power to achieve their worldly goals and utilize Mikasa and Ymir respectively to help them.

However, the critical difference is that Mikasa was fortunate enough to have a more well-rounded life. She had many friends, multiple families, a clear moral compass, political importance, familial love, and a more fluid awareness of her feelings with Eren. Of course, it also helps that Eren has redeeming qualities unlike Fritz. Eren creates a paths fantasy for her where she was able to live in a reality where she did manage to save Eren and peacefully live together. However, this fantasy crumbles quite easily and Eren tells her to move on. Mikasa’s primary dilemma was dwelling on the idea that she could have led Eren to a different, less dark path, “Was he always like this”, “What if I gave him a different answer?”. He gives her closure by showing that there was nothing she could have done, and that Eren was always destined to go down this one path.

12. How Mikasa Freed Ymir.

With this in mind, Mikasa was able to make the choice to ultimately kill Eren. There are a multitude of reasons why but what’s important is Ymir being touched by this action. While she herself couldn’t make the decision to move on from Fritz or embody Armin’s view on life, she knows that she could have been like them. She could have found meaning in suffering like Armin, she could have gained autonomy in her life like Mikasa, and she could have had emotional closure. Seeing those potential pathways in her life gives her solace as she now knows that she wasn’t completely destined to be a slave. The fact that Mikasa and Armin are her descendants also adds to this considering that Ymir is very attached to her blood. Ymir can rest easy knowing that it was her own blood that managed to achieve freedom. They are the living legacy of the choices that Ymir wish she could have made. Eren offers her the chance to be free, Armin provides a view on optimism and purpose, and Mikasa shows the strength of being able to move on for the greater good.

13. Eren Achieved His Goals.

Finally, I want to talk about the final moments in AoT’s ending. As far as Eren goes, he achieved his goals and would be satisfied if he saw memories beyond his death. He saw the scenery that was driving him to relentlessly push forward. He ended the titan power which was the biggest cause of conflict for the Eldians. His friends lived long and healthy lives. They were able to make progress from a world filled with hate and vitriol. Did Armin and the others save humanity by creating everlasting peace? No, of course not, because that's impossible, or at the very least, requires a very long time. Remember, Eren is NOT a nationalist who was fighting for the glory of Eldia and Paradis. It's fair to assume that the furthest person he cared about was a random Paradisian who was subjected to Marley's titans during Eren’s lifetime.

14. The Rumbling Was Never A Solution.

Also, a successful rumbling would not have saved Paradis and it would be naive to think so. The titan curse would still be a thing (Ymir is the only one who can stop it and she would not be satisfied by mass slaughter) which would undoubtedly repeat the Great Titan War and lead to the cannibalization of Paradis. All the rumbling would do is hasten humanity’s doom and the final message would be: to prevent war and achieve peace, all of humanity must die. In fact, this has been brought up multiple times by different characters; that true, unrestricted peace is not possible unless humans no longer exist. The rumbling should be perceived not as an act of bravery or resilience, but as the coward’s way out. Instead of suffering, fighting, and believing in humanity; mass genocide only brushes the problem away. It is a form of nihilistic escapism that negates important human values such as growth, understanding, curiosity, and resilience.

15. The Final Scene.

These ideas culminate in the final imagery of the series. The world has fought back and tragically destroyed Paradis. However, the boy, the dog, and the tree are a crucial component in these moments because it's a direct contrast to Ymir. She ran in fear of being hunted down while the boy approached the tree out of curiosity. It is left up to interpretation on what would happen but repeating the titan curse is definitely not a possibility. The tree symbolizes a new beginning; one where the knowledge, experiences, dreams, and regrets of the past help inform better choices for the future. It may not instantly save the world but it’s a clear progression from the traumatic experience that Ymir had.

16. Closing Thematics.

The idea that Paradis needs to be this sacred land free of any conflict is overly idealistic given the type of story Attack on Titan is. It has never offered the answers to complex dilemmas such as war and peace. There are thousands of people throughout history who are more experienced and smarter than Isayama and yet, they could never find a solution for human warfare. What Isayama offers, however, is what we could do in such a cruel world. Not by wiping it all away using drastic measures, but through a slow, arduous process that ultimately allows us to find meaning in our lives. While true peace may never be obtainable, the process of striving for a better world is valuable in and of itself. This has been Attack on Titan’s pathos ever since the first story arc. It has never been about a country wanting to take revenge against the world, it is about finding meaning in a world that seems so unimaginably cruel;

Why I think Titans won't return but another life form will

The scenerios are vastly different.

Ymir lived a life or torment and was chased by dogs into the woods leading her to the tree ....

The Boy at the end on the other hand willingly went into the tree with his dog...

Most likely another life form will be formed... because the Hallucigenia is not the source of titans...it is the source of living matter...

Titans were only the offspring of Ymir's choice and state of mind
