I remember you guys talking in season 3 abour Reiner and it literally made me think of this episode. Literally couldn't wait for you to see it. Honestly i love your reactions so much. You are very connected with the characters and try to understand them so you share genuine feelings together with them.

I dont think anyone has mentioned it yet but this episode cuts out a really big info drop from the manga about the Ackermanns. When Zeke is talking to Colt and Magath, he mentions that they are byproduct of Titan science. --- https://cdn.readsnk.com/file/mangap/5/10093000/19.jpg --- this is the page if you want to see the drawings, its slotted right before seeing Reiner dreaming of Mikasa shooting him out of the titan in S3 P2.

Can't wait for 4x03, I loved the opening showcases of Marley's Titans (finally!), and my jaw dropped at the crazy revelations of Reiner's backstory. They really ramped the emotion up gradually from 4x01 to 4x02 to 4x03.

Just in case you didn’t know and are recording 4x3 and 4x4, there is an end credits scene in 4x4 after the ending, so keep that in mind

I love that the biggest gift of this show/story is Knowledge & Context. It makes your understanding & love for the characters & their circumstances that much stronger.

Jay Craig · October 20, 2021

Yeah, the kids are all sweet, not their fault that the adults in their lives brainwashed them from birth. The whole point of the beginning of this season is to show you that there are innocents everuywhere

That was an amazing reaction

Ben Morales · October 20, 2021

About Falco, one of the things that caught my attention at this point was the opening scene on episode 1, wich threw me on a loop and i had to rewatch the first episode a couple of time to understand what was going on.

A
AlanRedrew · October 20, 2021

I love the "do you know if the birds mean something"? No spoilers, but don't lose that.

Lm reactions hopefully you see my comment early there is a comment from someone called Troy Carlson I’d like you to delete his comment without reading what he says in it. I asked him to delete his comment under so once you find my comment you should have no problem locating his above.

M
Melkor · October 20, 2021

Or the other person deleted their comment and Lm haven’t read the comments yet.

MishkaTho · October 20, 2021

Reiner is also Isayama’s favourite Huhu.

M
Melkor · October 20, 2021

You forgot to talk about the fact that they mentioned a titan called the War hammer titan in this episode. You forgot to talk about it. They also gave some info on a family called the Tybur family which you forgot to discuss. Maybe you do next episode?

H
Hannah Belle · October 20, 2021

Ah yes. Reiner. My favorite character in the entire series. Same girls. This part of the story made me understand him so much more.

M
MGU · October 20, 2021

Patience is key!!!

R
Rick Turpentine · October 20, 2021

And now you see why despite knowing that the people on the island aren't actually devils, the warriors had no choice but to continue the mission. Had they betrayed Marley or helped Paradis their families would have been punished.

oh man ya'll are gonna love this season

Joaquin garcia · October 20, 2021

what a sad episode

lasagnaman · October 20, 2021

love your reactions and discussions as always! The phrase both of you're looking for is "cannon fodder" I think (the eldians in the front lines).

e
enchantertim · October 20, 2021

I just want to say I love your reactions. I've been following your AoT reactions from YouTube since the first episode. But since you started season 4 I couldn't wait anymore and just become a patron. It's great to watch people's reactions who are REALLY invested in the show and theorizing and analyzing each episode. And I must say you really did a great job theorizing and figuring out stuff. Not to mention you really get the characters and feel for them. Looking forward to future episodes. Btw Reiner is my fav and as I've heard also the author's

B
Brandon Wright · October 20, 2021

I think the dinner scene with Reiner might be misinterpreted by many. Remember Reiner has Dissociative Identity Disorder. So my interpretation of the scene is that he's stating things that he convinced himself makes the Paradis people bad. Because in reality the scouts weren't bad people but he has to hold on to every small thing they ever did to justify his mission. And he knows they aren't evil which is why he developed a split personality in order to deal with that conflict within himself. Again, that's just my interpretation but I also don't think he was lying or being sarcastic in that scene.

M
Mohammed Al Jamal · October 20, 2021

Yeah I'm with you, Reiner was convincing himself all along that they are devils, but all that he could come up with are the stuff he said at the dinner table. Gabi was confused and replied "aren't they bad people?". He knows they are good people, but the disorder and the brainwashing are messing him up.

G
Gurido · October 20, 2021

I hope the girls can see this comment. There is a scene from manga that should belong to this episode but wasn't included, and I think it is the most important scene for understanding Gabi. She told Reiner that she wants to inherit his titan because she knows he is suffering. She is his blood relative, there's a high chance she will also inherit his memories, so she needed to get the armor titan so Reiner's memories can live on, and "even those things you find too painful to tell other people... The two of us could figure them out together." She wasn't only doing this for honor, she's also doing this because she cared deeply for Reiner and it is her way of keeping him alive.

Gurido · October 20, 2021

You can read it from here, it's in the first 5 pages: https://readaot.com/manga/shingeki-no-kyojin-chapter-95/

Dake Weng · October 20, 2021

Just two episodes into s4 and you guys have some of the most sympathetic and sophisticated views on Reiner and Gabby's psychological states. They are highlights of this part of season 4 for me and are a big reason why this show has continued to evolve, from action-packed survival fantasy to clandestine mystery to complex treatise on social injustice and war.

N
Nick · October 20, 2021

Honestly you two are the most emotionally intelligent reactors of this show, can’t wait for the future episodes

l
lasagnaman · October 20, 2021

100%!

sand_fl · October 20, 2021

Next episode is one of my favourite from the whole show. Sad they cut a bunch of panels from the manga though.

O
Oodjee · October 20, 2021

I don't think there's a reason to think that Reiner's mom has the same views as Reiner. After all, she was born into the same reality as Gabi, and brainwashed just like Gabi is. She has never interacted with Paradis Eldians, and has no other opinion except the one she was fed since a young age. I think she closed the windows because Reiner was speaking heresy in her opinion.

A
Angie · October 20, 2021

Reiner’s mom closed the window, not Gabi’s

yeah, lets not do anything even relating to a spoiler

Harrison Allen · October 19, 2021

If this episode has them crying I can’t wait for 4 x 3. So many feels.

Dan Mena · October 20, 2021

And episode 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 12 13 14 15 and maybe 16 LOL

Nagisa · October 19, 2021

One thing that should probably be pointed out is the development of technologies in the rest of the world. The Paradis Island has very limited research and development in technology ever since the Great Titan War and has a 100 years disparities in terms of Science and Technology. 100 years of technical gap might not sound as bad as you first thought, but Paradis Island does not have photograph, not even vehicle. The transportation within the walls are still horses. While the rest of the world has navy forces and air-forces. (The Great Titan War took place at time when technologies are not advanced). A minor correction from the discussion is that the rest of the world aside Marley, fears Eldians not because, or not just because Eldians are used in wars. But, most essentially, they suffered from the damages caused by Titans before the Great Titan War as well as Marley.

L
Lullabymeyourstory · October 19, 2021

It's truly brilliant how the scene with reiner and his family is impactful. Him talking about eldians on paradise with the same monotone and degrading tone that marley brainwashed into them but all that while actually refering to casual and definitely not "demon-like" actions like "someone ate a potato during service" and stuffs. Like you can really feel how f*cked up he is and how his split personnality is showing/killing him more and more. And how reality is far from what they are forced into believing. Amazingly done

g
gouj · October 19, 2021

bro they need to start double uploading lool

C
Camzeee · October 19, 2021

How could they possibly double upload when they talk so much around each episode 😂 I'd almost rather they slow down. Don't want it to end yet!

b
botchie · October 19, 2021

i mean if u really think about it, Marleyans/the rest of the world were mistreated aswell. When the Eldians ruled the whole world, titans roamed and killed people of all nations. Eldians took advantage of their titan powers to conquer and destroy. So if you were looking at it thru Marleyan shoes, they truly have no choice but to use/control Eldians. Although it being incredibly cruel to Eldians, you gotta think about it overall. This is why this show is truly amazing. Just when you think you have a solid antagonist(s) of the story, you gotta think about why they do what they do.

D
Danny · October 19, 2021

100% agreed. this show does an amazing job at making you realize that neither side is completely good or evil.

s
sand_fl · October 19, 2021

Reiner is and always be my number one

H
Hsn.F · October 19, 2021

I can tell you this. If reiner became one of your favorite from this episode alone, then you will love him even more in later episodes.

Dammy Oshikoya · October 19, 2021

Fun fact, the creator, Hajime Isayama, said that during this part of the story, Reiner became his favourite character
