So now that the dust has settled, is the Marley arc the peak of the series?
>>286687624Why do people think the rumbling was wrong, what was eren supposed to do?
>>286690828Lie down and let his people get wiped out and enslaved further because they deserve it Or lie down while his "reliable" superiors keep making the same sacrifices and actions that landed them in the situation they are in to begin with in the hopes that their enemies will eventually shake their hand in a sign of peace with one hand while not sharpening a knife with the other one.
>>286690828>>286691638Genocide is always wrong, they even say so explicitly in the show.He should have taken the titans from Shiganshina wall and destroyed all military installations around the world.This would have bought Paradis time to think of a more permanent solution.
>>286690828Fuck Historia
>>286690828Idk but people are retarded when they say it's not right for him to defend his people from the rest of the world simply because the rest of the world outnumbers you. That's like saying if a group of 20 men wanted to break into your home and rape and kill everyone you should let them because killing 20 people is worse than what the 20 men would do to your family. No fuck you.
>>286691728It's not genocide. It's defending his island, people, family, friends, bloodline, race. The entire world pretty much will stop at nothing from genociding his entire nation. He quite literally has no choice. Plus you are a retard. If he moves the wall to take out everyone's military that proves that his island is a threat to the world whereas before that they weren't bothering anyone and some people didn't even think it was still possible.
>>286691728I mean, yeah, genocide isn't good, but with how Isayama wrote things, Eren didn't really have as much solid, long term options as he could have.
>>286692781That's because Isayama is a hack that contrived circumstances just so he could include genocide in his story.
>>286687624No way Mikasa doesn't have a dick.
>>286691728>This would have bought Paradis time to think of a more permanent solution.The Permanent Solution to the Anti-Paradisian question?
>>286691782>bloodlineEldians are mutts that mingled with every other race of the planet outside of Paradis.
>>286691728The main problem is that Isayama tried to make a genocide bad story while somehow concocting a setting that justified it completely with the entire world pretty much wanting nothing but the eradication of Paradis and it was all about wiping out or being wiped out. There was no other nuance to it yet he went for a generic message with Marvel tier delivery that was dissonant with the story presented. You can pull off "break the cycle of violence" stories with good execution here the story did nothing but provide reasons for why it was them or the world.
>>286692781In stories with a valid "break the cycle of violence" message the true ethnic/faction hatred will usually come from higher ups and a hardliner segment of the population that they represent with the rest being moderate civvies that suffer from war. In this story pretty much every member of society wanted the genocide of Eldians. There was no valid way out.
>>286694215>There was no valid way outThere is. They should let the rest of the world purge them because Eldians are inherently evil devils.
>evil devils
>>286691728>Genocide is always wrongI would 'jak you so hard if we weren't on /a/ right now.
>>286694939up or off
>>286695246off
>>286687624Everything from the Liberio Raid to the start of the Rumbling was the apex of the story. Once the alliance formed it became a slow descent.
