What the floch man ..
i think this is my favourite episode. This is the shows thesis statement. so beautiful and why i love Gabis story
Tragic and deeply affecting episode, but I’m lmao at your reaction to Floch at 28:10. Whew. Flock wit the glock
One of my fav AOT episodes. Children of the Forest holds one of the most important themes in the show. If you understand it, then you'll understand the direction of the story moving forward.
That reaction at 28:13 😂
I had the exact same reaction to Floch! Because who he feeling like??? 🤣
Just a little clarity on Zekes power and the paths, some of this was explained in late season 3 (although I think they worded it very poorly so it’s hard to understand). Not all information about the paths and the coordinate has been revealed yet so the explanation might be a tad patchy. Basically the paths are these like mysterious “things” that connect all eldians (remember that blue tree looking thing that has showed up before, Ymir was like sitting down in sand and was looking at it). Basically the paths are how everything regarding the titans are transferred. When memories are transferred from a past titan to a present titan they go through the paths. When a titan tries to shift the body parts of the titan are transferred to them through the paths. However all these paths intersect at “the coordinate” (just another name for the founding titan). That’s why the founding titan can control all the Eldians memories, and can control other titans (like Eren did that one time in S2) and is so strong because it can control these paths. So when Zeke uses his power he sends a signal via the paths “to/through” the coordinate which then turns all the people who ingested his spinal fluid into titans. However, he is not sending anything to Eren as Eren cannot properly use the founding titan as established.
itching for the next episode
you clocked the wine episodes ago that was impressive man, the way im constantly checking to see if youve posted another is insane hahaha.
I know it‘s not easy but I need two episodes a day man this watchalong is too interesting
"WHO ARE THE VILLAINS" truer words never spoken
Zeke turning people into titans seems to be an ability that he can do because of his royal lineage, since it's sort of "founding titan"-esque, thats all we know for now at least (I honestly cant remember if there was more later)
oh also, the way I interpreted it, when Zeke talks about sending the power to the coordinate through the paths, I think he was saying that he was somehow borrowing or highjacking a little part of the power of the coordinate (founding titan) since he is a titan of royal blood theres probably some weird tug of war happening with the founders power. paths are just the weird spiritual connection that all eldians have (which is how the founder controlls them) So what he was saying is basically: I used the connection all eldians have to send my power to the founder, or maybe through? it's not entirely clear and I don't think it matters much, kinda like how star wars became a lot more boring once they tried explaining how the force works, it's just his magic power ig.
What makes these reactions so fun is how many smart and correct observations you have! Even the ones that turn out differently would make sense in the universe
Ah "Children of the forest" and Sasha's father's speech honestly, some of best moments in the entire show. Also ..re-watching the way Eren just showed up in the back killed me. It's even more jarring this time.
Not so fun fact lol: in the English dub Kaya refers to Sasha as her sister which makes it even a tad more heartbreaking imo... In Japanese she also refers to her as "oneechan" which means big sister but for some reason they didn't translate it to English in the subtitles here. So when I first watched it Kaya was literally crying screaming "how dare you kill my sister" 🥲 Also I wanna explain how Zeke's power works but I'm not exactly sure if it's a spoiler or not at this point in the series so I'll leave that to someone else... Just can't recall if you have that information yet. Anyways, can't wait for the next ep!
God i wish i could watch this again for the first time, it’s why i love watching people’s reactions to it
That is when you know shit is going down.
