To this day, it still baffles me that Armin got shoehorned to get together with Annie. ANNIE. The one who clapped squad Levi's cheeks and inadvertently killed Armin's own fucking grandfather. Seriously, what the fuck? There has to be a limit to his willingness to overlook crimes. Forgiveness is one thing, but falling in love with the girl (who COULD NOT TALK BACK FOR 4 YEARS BY THE FUCKING WAY) who is an accomplice to the reason your grandpa died and who killed your captain's beloved squad members is insane. Did Isayama mean to write him as a psychopath or is this an end result of his contrived writing?
it's a mix of your speedreading and your inability to feel human emotions due to autism
>>288485428na,OP is right. There was no possible redemption for Annie. What the show did was completely inaccurate on how things normally play out among humans
>>288485428>not understanding how someone can fall in love with a girl who can't talk back and who is the reason his grandpa died makes me a speedreader and incapable of understanding emotionsAAfag, why don't you explain it instead of being a retard and making shit up because you're triggered?
>>288485398Its over. Let it go.
>>288485428OP is clearly right, Isayama is really bad at writing romance
>>288485398Their only interaction in the first season is him telling her that she's actually nicer than he thought. Annie seems to like him, which is why she doesn't kill him later, although she didn't seem to kill just anyone, only those who attacked her. That was the whole build-up.
>>288485398>The one who clapped squad Levi's cheeksnever happened>inadvertently killed Armin's own fucking grandfather.taking this logic to its conclusion armin is a mass murderer whose crimes Annie shouldn’t have been willing to overlook. but this is lazy logic that ignores themes like the cycle of violence/resentment (forgiveness thus becomes a very powerful trait) and the characters’ powerlessness to decide the direction of their lives (did Annie really cause his grandfather's death if she was pushed into being a warrior and merely carrying out orders?)
>>288486581The thing is, they never spoke, and if you add the grandfather thing, it's just too much. If they "ended up together," it's because the community shipped them. There's a limit between symbolism and bad writing.
