UHM HELLO WERE YOU AWARE THAT THERE'S THIS VIDEO OF ISAYAMA SINGING THE OPENING OF SEASON 1? V=tyYmNTK2uJU

This is all really cool and incredibly insightful. The coolest detail to me was probably Eren tying up his hair at the beginning as if he's trying to "keep it all together" at first, but the journey culminates in Eren's distressed and frustrated scream as his bun is undone. It gives a sense of him being overwhelmed and and a revelation of powerlessness.

Thoughts about the AoT Final season Op “The Rumbling”

Just wanted to ramble about some cool details found in the new opening “The Rumbling”. The opening begins by showing Eren, Mikasa and Armin. The trio is showcased in separate shots, reflecting on their separation during the recent events that have transpired in the story. As this first sequence draws to a close we see Eren taking a step, which then quickly transitions into a footstep of an Colossus Titan. I like this moment because the motion makes it seem like Eren is crushing that city. It is a cool and terrifying visual imagery but also foreshadows things that will happen in the future, since Eren will literally trample on the lives of others, as he activates the Rumbling. 

Overall as the name of the song indicates, much of the song is focused on the Rumbling advancing on the main land.

Yes, Eren is much more cynical about the possibility of peace or getting the children out of the Forest, his solution is to wipe out that historical/generational hatred while the Alliance seeks to learn their mistakes from the past and work towards a better future.

I think the Alliance is too idealistic/naive and Eren is too pessimistic(he only has four years left so his perspective is shaped by what can and can't be done within that time-limit, this shuts down a lot of avenues) but Isayama seems to criticize Eren's self focused perspective, Eren ought to at least be able to put his hopes in others and he(Isayama) criticizes the Alliance/104th by saying that they're too open to possibilities and violence is a necessity sometimes, they're forced to confront the consequences of their idealism(both with Eren and diplomacy) in the Final arc.

All in all, I think Isayama agrees more with the Alliance on a thematic level, but thinks they should be more willing to get their hands dirty in order to achieve their ideals.

Do you believe the full rumbling goes against the theme of “getting kids out of the forest?”

No, because Armin & Co. represent that side of the argument.

Mr Braus says two things: 1) He laments the continuation of the cycle of violence, and 2) He argues that the most important thing is to keep children out of it. Eren acts in reaction to 1), and the 104th act in reaction to 2).

Rather than just having the main character straightforwardly represent the moral message of the series, it's more interesting to explore the unresolvable contradictions within that moral message - that's what would have been the case if Eren and the 104th had truly been opposed. Eren would have fought to end the cycle at the cost of children's lives, and the 104th would have fought to preserve children's lives even if meant that the cycle will continue.

Of course, Eren's capability of truly ending the cycle is often brought into question - but this only adds further nuance to the series.

Ah yes, my favorite genre...

What do you think of Eren killing his Mother? I think that's the only major part of the chapter you haven't talked about.

At first I thought it was just thrown in for the sake of shock value, but looking back at Chapter 96, it was indeed foreshadowed.

It works so far as the revelation about the Reiss massacre works, in showing that Eren is free beyond even cause-and-effect - that he in himself is the Prime Mover, in Aristotle's terms, and in that regard godlike.

Buuut this ending seems to suggest that wasn't the kind of freedom Eren was angling for in the first place. Even if it were, an argument could be made that the Reiss massacre revelation was enough to prove that.

Regardless of this twist's inherent worth, its execution was bad. It felt very crammed in amongst all the other revelations the final chapter gives us; and what's more, you could cut it out of the final chapter and change nothing fundamental about the story. It doesn't even have much of an effect on the course of Eren and Armin's conversation.

But it does provide a conclusion to this piece of foreshadowing, at least.
