AOT S4 E22 - Thaw

ensemble fight scenes are one of my favourite things; i sobbed watching this again with you. those brave kids from season 1 mirroring their strategy all these years later, only with higher stakes makes me so emotional.

I’m just noticing the parallels of the OG group fighting at that tower. Not 100% sure but that looks like the same tower from season 1 with their first time fighting titans.

One of the things that cemented his decision was when he asked for Sasha’s last words. Cuz he had already seen everything in his memories and was basically bound to happen

Eren has more motives, the one even important than all you seen. And Eren himself will tell you if he had choice or not in one episode. Keep watching and try to understand it because there are so many layers to it. Eren is a character who can even lie to himself but he does reveal his real thoughts afterwards.

Fun fact: the design of that titan that attacked Armin, Mikasa, Jean and Connie on the rooftop at the beginning of the episode is based on Saul from Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul, because Isayama is a huge fan of Breaking Bad

Jamaal taking about Annie right before her reveal is his version of memories from the future.

Connie's mother is actually brought up multiple times but its easy to miss in those moments with everything else happening

I know this is thrown out a lot but I think people who, VEHEMENTLY hate Gabby lack critical thinking skills and just don't understand the point of AOT outside of surface level theme. Though I'd argue Gabby's character is pretty overt themes-wise

I hate Gabi for killing Sasha but I can one hundred percent agree that Gabi is an excellent character. If it wasnt for her Zeke and Eren wouldn't have made contact its only cause she shot his head off that happened. It can be argued that without Gabi most, if not the entire plot wouldn't be as amazing as it is.
