[@Siddios]

@@Karuiko It's hard to put into words. He literally wanted nothing more of Reiner to hear, especially not how bad he felt for doing it because he (wrongly) interprets it as an attempt to rid himself of the guilt of killing Marco. For Reiner, it's a genuine confession and he wants to be punished. But for Jean, those reasons sound like cheap excuses.

[@catsozen]

​@@Karuiko​ Jean is basically saying "do you think you can get away with this by just saying you're sorry!?" He was already seething when Reiner started playing the victim, but that "I'm sorry" just sends him. To him, Reiner should own his actions and carry that burden of guilt, while redeeming himself by doing the right thing. Instead he just had to add that part about killing the titan that kills Marco as if it absolves his sin even for a bit, and then has the gall to ask for forgiveness from Jean. It was rock bottom pathetic for Reiner to act that way.

I understand why Jean snapped. It’s one thing someone killed your friend, it’s another thing someone killed your friend and then they feel guilty about it. Reiner doesn’t get to be sorry or feel guilty because he made that cruel decision. It was already bad enough that Marco was killed, but the fact that Reiner started feeling sorry for himself, he indirectly made the situation about himself instead of Marco, the actual victim. He took accountability but then turned around to self-loathe.

[@Athrun82]

And it wasn't the first time. When they took Eren through the forest Reiner started talking about what reward nhe might get until Eren snapped and yelled at him which made Reiner suddenly realize what he was doing which then led Eren to yell even more especially the "You two created the hell we are living in right now, you have no right to feel sorry for yourself!" then followed up by the ice cold "One day I am going to make you pay and it's gonna hurt"

@@MachinaOwl Really? I rarely see anyone blame Annie. Most are super forgiving and like to use the excuse that she was a victim of circumstance brought about by her father and Marley. While it not entirely untrue, Annie was far from just a helpless victim. She was pretty cold blooded and that's what made her such a great antagonist in the beginning. Reiner and Bertholdt's stories were done so well, but I'm disappointed that Annie basically got off with just a slap on the wrist. She never got any punishment for all the soldiers she killed. She appears like the regrets her actions, yet at the same she admitted that she didn't regret what she did. She got to reunite with her dad and even got a boyfriend out of the deal. I see some say that her time in the crystal was her punishment, but she was safe that whole time and even had Armin and Hitch talking to her. Reiner basically shouldered all of the blame. Annie should have at least had some punishment.

Jean got pissed because Reiner acknowledged what he did was wrong and then instead of just letting it rest turned it into a personal pity party for how terrible of a person he was. He took a moment that should have been about mourning the senseless loss of Marco and *(intentionally or not)* made it about himself.

[@cyanidespaceman]

I think this helps add more depth to Reiner as well - having transitioned through a younger phase in my life where I acted like Reiner in that scene without realizing it, towards realizing it, towards realizing how to deal with people who are unaware of doing this with empathy. That potential for growth, and the understanding of the need for empathy, is shown through the accidentally kicking of Gabby, who is also guilty of terrible crimes, but is held with a more empathetic regard due to her age and gender. That juxtaposition lays bare the lack of difference - Yes, Reiner is currently fumbling about, but his guilt, and the awful circumstances that lead him to those actions, are entirely real, valid, and need to be dealt with. We're seeing him actively deal with them and try to be better - with limited, but real, success.

[@claudiafilipa423]

​@@cyanidespacemanWhat do you mean by realising how to deal with people who are unaware of doing this with empathy?

[@rebertosmith9524]

levi dint have a hint of anger, great writting btw

[@VictorIV0310]

The simple fact of the matter is that Levi is usually the most level headed person in the room. He wouldn't prioritize his own personal vendetta over getting the important shit done. In this case, even if he wasn't injured, what purpose would killing Annie serve? Avenging his comrades who died in battle? They were soldiers in a regiment where the vast majority usually die terribly. That was always a risk and Levi isn't naive enough to have not understood that. Annie was carrying out a mission, there was nothing personal involved. As wrathful as he was over his OG squad's deaths, he was out the second the objective was complete and we never heard him talk of revenge for his squad in the aftermath. Why would Levi then choose to make it personal, years later? That's childish and it usually isn't Levi. Annie is a highly skilled warrior, has the power of one of the Nine Titans and is currently their ally. What is the gain here? For all Levi's pragmatism, Zeke actually is a weak point for him. Zeke's flippant toying with the lives of others, lack of remorse for his heinous actions and the overall arrogance in which he brazenly presents himself opposes Levi on a fundamental level. Remember, Levi was devastated upon realizing that he, humanity's strongest soldier, had in fact been killing humans every time he slaughtered a titan. Zeke is his antithesis. Zeke couldn't be bothered to learn the name of the village that he titanized; Ragako being the hometown of one of Levi's immediate subordinates added even more fuel to that fire. Sure, we remember Annie yoyo-ing humans and stomping on them like insects. However, Levi was there to personally witness Zeke using Erwin and the other survey corps members as target practice; Zeke was gleefully enjoying murdering them in droves. He turned their tragic, heroic, desperate suicide charge into little more than a baseball game and was openly yipping like a cheerful child. It's not simply about fulfilling Erwin's final order, Levi genuinely hates Zeke Yaeger. Yet still Levi looks at the bigger picture and does not kill him. He knows how vital Zeke is, so he puts his own wants and, essentially, Erwin's last command on the backburner. He doesn't trust Zeke at all, he figures he'll eventually betray them but he wouldn't move unless Zeke proved him right. Him not killing Zeke was equivalent to letting his comrades' sacrifice, his best friend's sacrifice, go to waste. He still didn't do it. Zeke titanizing Levi's subordinates in the forest, reducing their lives to fodder and callously weaponizing the close bond Levi shared with them? Well. Everyone has a limit and that was Levi's. Zeke had just proven him correct in the worst way and, while he had the sense not to kill him, Levi prioritized his personal hatred of Zeke over his logical side. Torturing Zeke, setting up that reckless death trap was nothing more than an act of vengeance. His hatred toward Zeke was more than justified but him slicing off his legs, inch by inch, was for Levi and Levi only. He was pissed and he wanted revenge. He let his feelings cloud his better judgement for the first time; a rational Levi would not have set up the thunder spear trap that the vengeful Levi did. And what did he gain from this? Well, we all know the answer to that question. In summary, revenge is as petty and childish concept that has zero benefits beyond a fleeting catharsis. And comparing Levi's treatment of Zeke with his apparent lack of hatred towards Annie doesn't make sense. Levi abhors everything that Zeke stands for.

he deserved it and he wanted to get beat up imo but that’s my fucking goat his character only kept developing more and more after this scene 🙏 he’s such a complex dude i love him

[@blueberrytoast5528]

Marco had saved Jeans life by distracting the titan when he was trying to remove the odm gear. Then Jean found him after Eren sealed up the whole. He always felt in debt with Marco for that.

Eren is right. These people wanted to kill them all. Eren’s only mistake was to go after everybody nation outside the walls, he just should have killed the nations that attacked paradis.

[@benn6086]

Would have been a more peaceful path but he would also become a public enemy and an even greater threat to outside nations. Therefore being more prone to hate, and attack.

[@Yeagerbomb77]

​​@@Omega-jg4oq nah f*** the eldians outside of Paradis as well. All of them are more than willing to sacrifice their own people, even doing it themselves, just to be a bit more "free" in Marley. They would have never sided with Paradis, they're beyond brainwashed as we can see with these pathetic self hating fools in the clown alliance. And honestly, the fact that it got SO bad is on them as well. Not a single one of them fled to Paradis to seek refuge and help in a century. Just Grisha. Only one single person did that. Mindblowing. They're too far gone and they had to go, too.

The fact that Annie and Pieck just let Reiner get the shit beaten out of him… I’m starting to think that the Survey Corps members still like Reiner more than the other warriors like him, even after everything he’s done to them

annie got into a fight with reiner before. but they are still comrades. weird how pieck and annie dont care

In the manga annie tended to Reiner after jean attacked him, she gently Reiner's head and placed something under his head i think. In the anime it was cut from the episode.

Anie did a bunch of fucked up things. Killed a lot of innocent people that was trying to defend Eren.

[@wholesome_masochist4113]

That's just it. Sure Annie did a lot of fucked up things, but almost everyone did seriously screwed up stuff. Annie, Bertholt, and Reiner were all just older versions of Gabbie, hell none of them were much older than her at the start of the series either. The biggest theme of AoT is that everyone is morally grey as hell.

​@@wholesome_masochist4113 Except she ended up getting a free pass for it, that's the difference.

[@wholesome_masochist4113]

@@TheStrawberryCloud Yes Gabi absolutely did get a free pass with all her bullshit. Annie actually got consequences for her actions, even if they weren't followed through on later due to needing her to stop the rumbling, and with the gang knowing the full circumstances of the warrior trio and their angle by that point? Gabi got off Scott free for literally everything she did, while Annie at least did not

[@MachinaOwl]

@@TheStrawberryCloud Annie was trapped in a personal hell for 4 years where she could only think. She definitely didn't get a pass in this show lmao. And the reason people weren't upset with her in this scene? She owns up to everything she does and she keeps her mouth shut.

I’m sure he’s thinking about the fact he trained literal children to commit atrocities towards others. I’m glad they gave Magath a way to try to redeem himself. I didn’t shed a single tear watching most of aot but his and Shadis’ final scene made me cry like a little girl 😭 felt especially bad for Shadis bc no one knew he was on the ship with Magath :(

[@thinhsuynhuoc]

I love how reiner copes. He didnt cry or just simply felt bad. I felt so guilty that he went into a rage and killed that titan that killed marco. Asking himself why marco is being eaten. Denial and violent rage is such a real way to cope for those in situations like this. He even proped jean to beat him up so he can feel like hes earned his grief.
