POWER -Book IV Force - 8/10

Proper development of characters and storyline very evident unlike the Waste Of Time (W.O.T)..

phr0nesis:

I don't hate animations; I watched lots of them, and I still do (occasionally). The problem is that I don't give animations as much attention as when I watch humans act. And these days, I can't even watch a full movie in one sitting, no matter how fascinating that movie is. Watching AOT up to the third season is testament to how good it is, and in due time, I will surely return back to it.
oh...I misunderstood

I thought you didn't watch animation at all

ATTACK ON TITAN POST LISTING SOME FLAWS, PLOTHOLES INCONSISTENCIES, ETC


Season 1
One clear plothole is in season 1 episode 5, the 60m tall Collosial Titan completely vanished into thin air after breaking the gate of Trost District.
This makes absolutely no sense as nothing we've seen from this show explains it. While it is Canon that Titans, especially the Collosial can control the speed of its evaporation, there's nothing to show that it can simply vanish into thin air in a split second. Clear plothole/inconsistency

Season 2
Weird plot convenience. In S2E12, after Eren expends all his strength healing his limbs. He encounters the Dina Fritz Titan (Smiling Titan) and is unable to transform cos he's out of strength.
However he conveniently just threw a useless punch on the Titan's arm not really expecting anything to happen.
Because of Dina being a Titan of Royal blood, the powers of the founder is activated saving Eren and the scouts. You could explain it as Eren punching it out of frustration but still...
Funny tho, S4 revealed a twist of Eren once controlling the Dina Titan. Meaning he could have purposely sent it to child Eren to have contact and activate the power to save his friends

Season 3 part 2
Plothole/convenience of how Armin was able to survive with his entire body burnt to crisp and falling off that height. He probably fell like 30m and still survived after his body was burnt. Maybe Eren helped him land? Dunno
But how did he somehow remain alive during all their arguments about Erwin V Armin.
Plothole imo

Also the Reiner plot armor. Reiner showed an ability to spread his consciousness across his body. But that ability was never mentioned again, possibly because the author realized how dûmb that idea was and how much obvious plot armor it could lead to.

Season 4 part 2
Unanswered question/potential plothole?
In the episode "From You 2000 years ago", we see the origin of the founder Ymir. We learnt how she married King Fritz and that the Titan powers split after her kids ate her côrpse and their children further ate theirs.

The question here is if all subjects of Ymir originated from Ymir and her daughters, what is the difference between subjects of Ymir and those of the Royal Blood.

While there are many theories that could solve this question, the fact is that the story never explicitly addressed this. We never got an official answer and thus this could essentially be a plothole since it was left unanswered by the author.

Season 4 part 3 special 2
Minor complaints, but we never fully explored the origin of the Hallucigenia. Zeke addresses it but a lot of fans felt it needed to be addressed more.

Minor complaint, but the show leaves a lot to interpretation on the Ymir Fritz and Mikasa relationship. While most fans can piece together things, I believe the show should have delved further into the explanation as to why it had to be Mikasa.

Minor funny complaint, but how TF did Mikasa get back to Paradis to bury Eren?
She didn't seem to have any exclusive means of transportation. ODM gear can't get her that far. The flyingboat was also destroyed. I didn't see any means of transportation she could handle by herself carrying Eren's head.
This didn't make any sense to me


There are still a few minor issues or unexplained contrivances that I feel aren't really worth mentioning cos they could be easily theorized



Overall....ATTACK ON TITAN remains undoubtedly one of the best TV shows ever produced.
And in my own opinion the best show I've ever watched.

One thing people can all agree on is how great the lore, story, allegory, characters, themes and Dynamics are. For a series that is constantly changing or adapting genres, it manages to pull off everything well. It links and ties up plot points better than most TV shows could ever dream of and it pulls off incredible levels of foreshadowing and plot twists. It also teaches us many valuable lessons like how to appreciate the small precious moments in life



It also holds its place among the best anti-war pieces of fiction ever created. All its realistic war themes and allusion to real life events including some of the allusion to how the Nazis operate, it's allusion to the 1st and 2nd World War and even most wars in history.

The final season coming out during different real-life conflicts is able to shed light on different perspectives of war, genocide, propaganda, human nature, etc

This show has opened my eyes to different perspectives of war even more than any other show I've seen beforehand do. This is because it has some of the most realistic portrayal of the effects of war, racism, etc



Overall a 10/10 masterpiece that will be talked about for years to come as one of the greatest shows of all time.

If you want to be good, be good all the way; if you want to be bad, be bad all way. Even the biblical God hates indecisiveness, faithlessness and half measures:

A - “Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind. Such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord“

B - “Since you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth”.

Being made in His image; I like to see anime characters that are evil all the way. Evil that makes other characters be overcome by awe and great fear, which almost immediately turns to reverence.

*******************************************

Imagine a giant fiery meteorite ball falling from the sky in your direction, then someone says to you “don’t move, till I say so” lol and all the cells in body tell you, they would rather to be hit by that meteorite than move and anger that person . So you dare not twitch, break a sweat or even change your facial expression grin

Bow yourself! You are in the presence of Sukuna.

To be sincere, I don’t have a good feeling about it because it’s going to be based on “what if” premises. Though it will give room for the showrunners to run wild with their ideas.

Perhaps, some of the dead characters will get to appear again including Spartacus. I just feel it might not click, especially the fact it’s built around Ashur.

At first, I thought they will be going Crassus-Pompey-Caesar triumvirate direction when they announced a series in the Spartacus universe earlier this year.

But if the house of Ashur is the direction they choose, it’s fine. I’m trusting Steven DeKnight and his team to deliver.

Just read about the details of the show from Deadline. I'm not so impressed with I saw. Why go back to Ashur?
They could have gone any other way and be more interesting like the Triumvirate you just said.

I'll still watch either ways but I don't know how well I'll enjoy it since one would be comparing to the old show cos this is a complete about turn "What If" events.

I want to believe that budget issue is the main reason they choose to ignore the triumvirate storyline.

Because earlier this year, Starz contacted Steven DeKnight for a Spartacus sequel and the proposed logline was “In the aftermath of the defeat of Spartacus and his rebel army in the series finale, the new drama will depict a new tale of treachery, deceit, and blood unfolding beneath the foreboding shadow of Rome.”

I’m sure he pitched the triumvirate story (among other premises) to them but turned down. I read recently that Rome (a similar series telling the story of the Roman Empire) cost a lot of money per episode to make. Maybe the house of Ashur is the cheapest to make.

I just want to believe DeKnight knows what he is doing. The picture attached is a tweet he made about the series. I guess it’s going to be more of Ashur fantasising about his own rise.

I could remember a scene in Spartacus: vengeance where Ashur was telling the Egyptian guy that he was going to build his own house; the house of Ashur. Maybe the series will start from there.
