Nothing wrong with enjoying good music from a mediocre series.Am I the only one who thinks that the new OP is pretty bitchin'? I like how it mixes several heavy metal styles and has this increasing tone to it that I just love. The later half of the song is also a part I love too.
Fuck it, I don't care what folks say here, I dig this OP.
That's the funny part! They're so pants shitting racist that you can't help, but laugh. Anyone who says that this is a realistic story on prejudice is an absolute idiot! Look at Nazi Germany! Only about 30% percent of the population actually voted for the Nazis, but who's to say much of the voters were honest racists? When your totalitarian system threatens your life and your family into subscribing their inane ideals, you might as well follow through. That didn't mean there weren't people who actively resisted the Nazis.Problem is that the world is so stupid and murder happy that it unfortunately justifies genocide. The author basically makes it a choice between committing genocide or having genocide committed unto you. In the end the story ends with 80% of the world killed, and even so the Eldians get bombed back to the stone age
I'm honestly unsure what the author is trying to say with this. Is he saying that compromise is bad? Is this supposed to be better than a ending where all the Eldians get the Morgenthau Plan deluxe treatment or where Eren goes full on genocidehobo?
Isayama could've done something like that. Have a White Roses calling for peace among the Marleyans. Have something like the Valkyrie attempt a coup on the Marlayan government. Have the average Marlayan, who are likely marginalized by their government, to doubt their superiors' motives; at least attempt a way to see through the scapegoat. Just have Marlayans who simply don't want to fight in a war of annihilation. Whatever the case, show some dimension to the Marlayans.
Again, Isayama just sucks at Nazis.
