Zeke wasn't really one, but I wonder how many people became antinatalists because of him.

Why.
Humans are "in-ant monster abominations" to ants but you wouldn't argue we have to die so they can keep thriving, for the good of "antanity".
If you claim they're not human, then any appeal to humanity and human morality is off the table.

Sacrificing your race for a world that has and always will hate you is retarded. Zeke is retarded. Marley is retarded for wacking a hornets nest and expecting anything good out of it. Eren is a cuck a faggot for not finishing the war. Everyone in AOT besides Floch is a retard.

How the fuck was he based? His whole plan was literally “sterilize our race so everyone stops trying to kill us”, which was beyond fucking retarded and impossible in reality. Everyone in the show besides Floch is a fucking dumbass, and even then the Jaegerist solution was legitimately just a temporary solution. In a few hundred years the Eldians would’ve started killing each other for all the usual reasons.

Zeke's whole "You're not your father" thing is good imo, but it's definitely at odds with some of the earlier writing. Like when Zeke was surprised Miche could speak English
>>
If you live, it is your responsibility to fight for it. Zeke was a coward who gave up, thinking he would reach some moral high ground by sacrificing not only his life, but the life of his people. He was a traitor.
>>
>>290778435
It is known.
>>
>>290778432
He was probably surprised they weren't like "oonga boonga" after decades of isolation.
>>
>>290778698
With Marley doing frequent delivers of people to the shores of the island, I find it hard to believe they never did any type of investigation into the peoples that lived there.
>>
>Be Zeke
>I'm surprised you can speak English
>Also Marley
>Let's send these kids to that island with no knowledge of the language they speak
>>
>>290778432
>>290778698
He wasn't actually surprised that miche could speak.
He was speaking to Miche in his titan form and miche was obviously stunned, because a fucking titan was talking to him.
He even says that he is quite sure they spoke the same language.
Then when Zeke ordered the pure titans to kill him Miche started screaming and begging for his life and then zeke made a cheeky asshole remark about how he could talk afterall

>inhuman monster abomination
So? Why would a non-human care about not being human? If there's a being stronger than humans on the planet, that being should be in charge.
>>
>>290779264
Oh, okay, I must have been reading a poor translation because he was definitely surprised they spoke the same language in what I Read.
>>
>>290768751
monke would have been cooler if he was an actual titan, and not zeke's bio-mech
>>
>>290778124
Seriously? I don’t get it, if they’re supposed to be the successors to legally distinct Rome why the fuck don’t they have a Latin name? Or a fucking German one since they were ruled over by the Eldians for so long.

>would have been more based if he was full antinatalist and pro extinction.
It's been years, so I don't remember super exactly, but he was, wasn't he?
I thought he wanted both the Rumbling for other races AND the peaceful extinction of Eldians.
He views all life inherently as pointless and a net negative because it ultimately ends in death.
>>
>>290779630
In general, I hate how the titan forms feel more like mech suits/bio-gundam rather than part of their actual body.
>>
>>290779813
Neat, thanks for sharing anon
>>
>>290779891
Agreed; It's a weird curse of Japan, where any kind of fictional giant will eventually just become a mech.
Becoming a titan should have been a very costly thing where your human body is physically converted as fuel to spawn the titan's body, and then it's equally intensive to re-convert back to a human body inside.
Instead you just just spawn a titan, eject and do it again.
Post-TS was such slop, and you could tell the author was over the entire titan gimmick

It started getting stupid when the number of shifters increased and the titan forms had distinct "identites" separate from the holders. That made them seem like mech suits.
Prior to that it was just RBA and Eren and their titan forms were based on the holders own physical characteristics (like annie's was "female" because she was the only girl and it mimicked her fighting style). And it seemed at that time like eating a shifter would just confer the shifter power which would generate your own unique titan but instead ended up as a set number of special shifter titans and some bullshit had to be done to make that all fit, like with the jaw titan.

So, why the fuck did Eren turn into a colossal titan at the end? I thought that the founding titan was supposed to have a fixed form, also, how the fuck did he still even HAVE titan powers after the giant worm came out and started sperging out? That entire sequence confused me.

Eren went schizo with having access to the Future, and lost the plot.

>i can become the world villain people rally behind killing

something something, even by the end, the author lampshaded his Idiot Plot, by having eren call himself stupid.

>i can become the world villain people rally behind killing

He only ever presented himself as a villain to people outside the island though and told the islanders he was their savior to the point of creating a whole cult of followers. So basically the "redemption" is Armin going
>"Hey I killed the big bad guy who threatened to kill everyone not on my island, after he finished killing 80% of them while leaving the island totally untouched. Let's make a peace deal!"

It's clear that isayama had no idea how to wrap this shit up so QUICK Erens gets BTFO and Armin and his friends become heroes, Guardians of the Galaxy ending But wait! Extra pages Paradis was nuked btw! You had your grimdark ending.
Legitimate retarded author
>>
>>290781926
It was such an easy layup though.
Either make Eren a fullblown villain that needs to be put down or make him a true byronic hero that genocides the outside world and his friends.
Hell if you think the latter endorses genocide too much you could even keep in paradis getting nuked to showcase that even if you murder everyother group people will still fight amongst eachother.
I think it's extremely funny that isayama shat on his own ending in the first arc of snk.

Pragmatically speaking Zeke was right that it was not a good idea to have titan powers around and sterilizing the eldians was the most humane way to finish this
>>
>>290789484
Was there really no scenario where Eldians and the rest of the world could coexist? IRL nations try to find some middle ground.
>>
>>290789608
Hizuru wanted to do a partial rumbling against Marley's military infastructure and to deter anyone from attacking Paradis
>>
>>290789608
I don't know if there was one but speaking on practical terms, Eldians have superpowers and one of them every few decades can rumble the world into dust if they feel like it. Would you like to live knowing that?
>>
>>290789966
I mean what the fuck can they do against that display of power

>nothing is gained by life
nothing is gained by death either
>avoiding suffering
hedonism is both avoiding suffering and embracing feel good
the highest moral good of eastern religions is not avoiding suffering per se, it is liberation from a unsatisfying cycle, think of it like quenching a thirst, you don't seek to stop the need to drink because you hate drinking, you do it because it is a endless cycle and no amount of water will remove thirst completely
you are seeking permanent solutions, if you just seek to "avoid suffering" you can do that by being a junkie who can afford his supply / has endless access to it
>>
>>290790199
And leave them vulnerable and open to be killed
>>
>>290790260
I meant his sterilization idea. I'm not sure he set up circumstances where that could have been realistically achieved (would the rest of the world be fine with just letting Eldians live and die in peace?) but as an ideal it seems reasonable to me
>>
>>290780194
Susanoo in Naruto maybe
>>
>>290789608
The way it's written? No.
But in-universe, marley is the nation that's currently using eldian powers militarily, creating thousands of titans, and invading other countries, while the islanders have been memory wiped and doing jack shit for a century. It makes zero sense that other countries would join an alliance to help marley get the founding titan, it's like if the rest of europe decided to help nazi germany get a nuclear bomb.

>>290779315
Because the average Eldian wasn't "stronger". A select few had Titan powers while the rest could only be turned into mindless giants and controlled by the whims of whoever holds the power. Literally, the average Eldian was just a meat puppet to be used in war. No, they did not deserve to inherit the Earth.

No, he wanted Eldians to die off peacefully because the world would be better of without them and the eldians would not have to suffer in a world that does not want them other than as weapons at best.
