[@messingmusic_and_animation]

SPOILERS: Yes, you're right. As we saw in S4 part two in the episode "From You, 2000 years ago" Fritz was neither a savior nor a tyrant. SHE HERSELF WAS A SLAVE when King Fritz conquered her tribe. And she was forced into being a titan that crushed Marley because she felt she couldn't stand up to the King.

[@jonwoodall881]

@@messingmusic_and_animation ur right but I was talking more about her as being viewed from both sides. As an eldian back then I’m sure you loved ymir as you had the most powerful weapon in the whole world. While conversely, I’m sure thousands of marleyans lived in fear of ymir. So both truths can exist simultaneously. Ymir (in titan form) was a savior to eldians and a blood thirsty monster to Marley. Not talking about Ymir slave as a person but more as a how the world viewed her titan power.

[@MinecraftIsLoveMinecraftIsLife]

both versions probably were the truth. ymir fritz was a slave and did what king fritz told her to do. she destroyed other armies for him and helped to expand the eldian empire further. it also doesn't help that grisha couldn't read the text in the books.

[@TheBlackDemon1996]

What I love about Grisha's backstory is you think he's in the right because it's from his perspective, but when you think about things from someone else's perspective it becomes more and more grey. Like, their entire revolution was based on the belief that the history they were taught was propaganda due to them finding some scrolls they haven't translated yet. And yet they dismissed the idea that their ancestors were monsters after getting the slightest hint they weren't. They went from believing their ancestors were a race that committed atrocities to other races to a race that expanded a paradise, but they didn't stop to think that maybe... both were true? Like, yeah, maybe they build roads and tamed the wilderness, but at the cost of slaughtering and raping millions. When you think about it like that, Grisha and his friends suddenly become a bunch of holocaust deniers. And that's not even touching what he did to Zeke. And as much as I hate Gross, he's right that if Grisha was successful in his revolution, then they'd be doing what the Marleyans did to the Eldians, just like the Eldians did to the Marleyans years ago.

About two questions you have and which are already answered in previous episodes (so no spoilers): "How does Eren know that?" >>> Answer: We already know that he inherited the memories of his father (episode 3x6) so that isn't a big secret. He just "remembered" it, maybe triggered by the books of Grisha. Frieda Reiss inhertied also the memories of Uri Reiss by eating him (epsiode 3x10). "How do the people within the walls not have any memory ]...} of what exists outside the walls?" >>> Answer: We also know that the "founding titan" or in that case the king (Fritz, later known as Reiss/family of Historia) altered their memories (episode 3x4 or 3x5).

Nothing but an entire episode/chapter of exposition heavy “tell, don’t show” (save the show for later), despite that being against every rule? Check. And It’s...it’s absolute PERFECTION.

How she doesn't know that all titan shifters can see the glimpses of memories of their past titan shifters? It's already explained pretty earlier in the show.

[@creatresscorruption802]

I mean... maybe she forgot? Especially after so much info having being dumped on her

@@creatresscorruption802 hmm, maybe

[@Bash434]

The way you used the songs in the intro made me remember why AoT has THE BEST OST of all animes.

[@roughsketch3791]

Just realized when that guy was saying that he didnt like seeing cruelty but it was interesting, looking straight into the camera he wasnt talking to Grisha he was talking to us because if you think about it, we have his same mindset, we dont like it but its interesting, its why we watch the show, thats why it was zooming in and being all dramatic and reveling in his death just proved the point, saying hes insane is an appropriate response but hypocritical as well, I feel like Hajime Isayama purposely put things that will make us contradict our own views and this was one of those. but idk for sure, just feels that way.

[@cosmicon_]

I really like your reaction and explanation each episode.

[@danielduarte6802]

10:54 Grisha: we're not devil blood, we're God's children! Levi: I got no children.

[@SerpentineDeity]

Montana pulled out the Zelda Cd-i death line. "Good!"

[@mac_attack_zach]

yeah, we all felt that way when he was pushed off.

[@mavhunter8753]

I just love how quick on the uptake Montana is! Most people struggle with this episode!

[@FYRIO16]

25:18 this part he explained how humans like to see cruelt,when the chief got diched by the owl ,how many of you where happy to see him getting eating.like he explained

This episode is masterpiece

[@mimi-qq8gw]

Ive watched this episode soo many times and it gets better every time

[@danielnduoma3843]

The question on how Eren saw his dad's perspective is easily answered. Current shifters inherit the memories of past shifters of their Titan. It's not a spoiler, really

[@TheAngryXenite]

Well, sort of. There's a reason why the powers used to be passed down through noble lines and the Warrior program prefers using relatives to inherit the powers, and it's that memory inheritance goes much more smoothly when there's genetic closeness between wielders. Ymir couldn't really remember anything from Marcel, and it took Porco years to access his memories secondhand (and I'm not sure he ever mentions if he saw anything from Ymir).

[@jordanpatterson8536]

Montana or Kenny, or whoever sees this comment. The Restorationists aren't trying to help the island, they don't care about them. All they wants is the Founding Titan and to destroy Marley.

[@EmanueleCorsi]

Watching all these reactions after more than 1 year. I can't remain silent anymore: HAS MONTANA ANY KIND OF SCRYING BALL?? 😁 The calm tranquillity with which she rationalized the events from these few scenes is otherworldly. I can admit I was completely at loss when I watched 1st time this episode, and probably I didn't understand everything until I watched it again. Kudos, really.

[@mx9226]

Next episode: “Whose memories are these?”

Tfw you realize who the Smiling Titan was 😱

Grice! He looks so much like his nephews Lol Kenny’s face 15:29

[@スノーハッピー]

I wish more people would notice the historical references - stories from our history that we shouldn't forget... I guess "Lest we forget" only lasts 60-70 years. That said they are references and take inspiration from history. I think it's dangerous and limiting to think this is exactly how history went or that Isayama is trying to portray exactly what happened just in the Universe, as I seem to have seen some people do and then accuse him for distorting history. It's still a fiction. And it's a story for us to think about in our present and our future. But I also want to say that Isayama's portrayal of racism is masterful. I mean he shows the some of the most extreme versions of it that we don't see too often nowadays, but it's complex and nuanced. If you dig into it - say if you looked at how that officer who killed Grisha's sister behaves and what he says - you can get a better understanding of how racism takes hold of people, how it works in people's minds, and how it drives or enables people to do even the worst atrocities.

[@Misterasianweeman]

surprised you didnt up the fourth wall breaks count when that Marleyian officer did his monologue about his interest in cruelty and death. the camera angle is deliberate. Iseyama is speaking directly to his audience through that officer. that monologue always reminded me of the song Vicarious by TOOL

[@MrBINKYB00]

Is it just me or are these next episode some of your favorite TV episodes of all time

Crazy how u notice the subtle little things watching a second time

[@messingmusic_and_animation]

What's sad is that this episode is what, for me at least, cements this series as a terrifyingly accurate representation of our world today. Crack open any history textbook, and you can trace ethnic tensions in different parts of the world that mirror the malice between the Eldians vs Marleyans. Rwanda is one of many examples. So many parts of the world, especially the US, are broken by this mindset of "Oh yeah?! Well all of you in this group are X! You oppressed us in the past so now we want revenge!"

[@user-xq2ni4vq7z]

I have something I wanted to know for a long time.. the 9 titans were there since like a really long time ago(In ymir’s gen)but only a few years ago did marley start using ‘warriors’ as titan shifters. Then who was inside the 9titans until the ‘warrior’thing began and how did marley find those people and how were they able to manipulate them?

[@davidillarretasolans6970]

It's quite possible that the Eldian Empire already used the "warrior" tactic (if you want to vall it that), in which the power was transmited through consuming of each wielder, and that Marley simpled decided to mantain this tradition. Think about it, the nine titans were, quite probably, the strongest weapon of the Eldian Empire. Just like how the Founding Titan was manteined by the Royal Family of Paradise, by intergenerational succession, it's not something you would ever want to lose. In fact, it's quite probable that each Titan was held by noble and powerful houses of the Eldian Empire. Now, regarding the Marley manipulation, I won't say much to avoid entering into what is very likely spoiler territory, but if we assume the 9 Titans were controlled and monopolized by noble house, it could have been something as simple as aiding common eldians loyal to Marley to overthrow these houses and steal their power (Just like Grisha did when stealing the Founding Titan), by lying to these people with false promises (Ex: "Once you get the Colossal Titan, we will grant you all the noble titles you desire in Marley", "We will totally treat Eldians with the same respect as any other race!", etc...)

[@jordanpatterson8536]

@@davidillarretasolans6970 All you had to say was Marley had loyal Eldians as the vessels

The viewers don't know what's real and what's propaganda. Not everything Marley says is false, and not everything the Eldians believe in is real. Just beware.

Damn youre reactions are actual HIGH quality 👌

After watching your whole attack on titan reaction in 3 days I’m so attached to Eren and the gang , now season 4 much more heartbreaking

10:45 tbf he's looking at the pretty pictures of that scroll so it's not a crazy divination that that's what it tries to say (not that the scroll holds the truth it could be easily just propaganda trough art)

[@harryallen5392]

After showing us so much cruelty (and we kept watching) yams just throws a "you like it, don't you?" at us and then kills the character who said it and everyone was smiling at it, proving it right (in a way)

[@LonelyWhiteDude]

Omg I'm freaking out... When Eren Kruger ask grisha to say a while longer... Major foreshadowing I just realized after the episode and you connect the attack titans true power...
