3x18

It was definitely both - wanting him to rest was the icing on the cake

Ash

I still think its more of Levi wanting Erwin to finally get to rest.

Jojo Tang

I find it funny how much you guys wanted them to pick Erwin, both very valid choices but I was the complete opposite screaming to give it to Armin just because I couldn't accept his death haha

Violet Fewins

Where in that comment did I say Erwin did nothing?

Philbo

huh? you might want to rewatch the show if you think Erwin did nothing to get them there.

Takyon

nah, he said Eren would turn against the people in the wall.

Takyon

Rewatching this and seeing Carter and cannons only arguement for saving Erwin was that he is the commander even though we would’ve never gotten to this point without Armin. It makes me giggle

Philbo

NO WAY CANNON CALLED EREN BEING EVIL LMAOOO

Kiyoshi Kenshin

*facepalm* so either you missed the look he has given atleast 30 times when something is happening or when someone, including him has made a comment. Also, i have watched the entire show multiple times since premier 10 years ago and i still hate certain characters or like them at that point in the show even knowing how they are later. Ex. Eren 1st season vs current. Gabi after Sasha vs...nvm i still hate her for killing Spuds but i hope you get the gist of what i'm saying. In THIS episode, ya F Reiner just like everytime you watch S2E6-7. He's one of my favorites overall but F him at certain early points lol. Plus they can only say whats not going to tip off Cannon and Carter is the biggest reason so they are only saying things relevant to what you know as of the episode they are on. cant say "Dude, i love Reiner"..

The RZA

but like... their comments of "I hope you're in the worst pain Bert" or whatever tf McKay said is mad ridiculous with the knowledge of Season 4. You don't have to suddenly love Bert but those comments are from someone who should be watching fresh, not with the whole context of the entire show. I also heard McKay last ep say "I hate Reiner" like what? We watch the same Season 4?

rayman

dude and on top of that, Erwin's dad wasn't even blonde, he has light brown hair, Erwin is blonde. And more convincingly Erwin's dad was a conspiracy theorist about the walls, humanity, the king, and the secrets of the world. Zeke knows next to NOTHING about what the hell is going on within the walls, and didn't even know what the hell ODM gear was. People that think Zeke is Erwin's dad literally don't think past the point of "both blonde-ish with beard and glasses, must be same person". It's so ridiculous lol. And Erwin's dad would be pretty old at this point.

rayman

@11:09 "I hate Reiner" bro I'm not convinced you guys have actually watched the whole show. I legit can't tell if you guys are just acting or have the same feelings as what I'd expect people who haven't seen Season 4 to have. Some of the comments to situations from the other 3 are wild like none of you have future show knowledge or understand context presented in Season 4.

rayman

Your explanation Is pretty much spot on. But I'd anything would turn out different if Erwin lived?

Sean Fuller

Or maybe, hear me out, they didn’t miss those parts of the show, they just didn’t care. I hate all you people expecting everyone to feel the same. “Oh you shouldn’t hate them, look at where they came from” “oh you didn’t understand the story”. Bro just shut up, we can see very clearly the environment they were brought up in, we can understand why they did what they did, but does that mean we should like them? No. Like why do people care so much about other people’s opinions on fictional characters?? Just let people think what they want.

Kpop Tart

Can’t use that trash excuse after they decided to break the outer wall of Trost

Kpop Tart

how would you know nothing will change? do you have future sight?

kobehoneylyn

it would not have been fair for erwin to lead all those cadets to his death then get revived. in my opinion thats like a throw in the face to all those innocent cadets he sent charging to their deaths. he needed to die there to rest easy. in s4 the thing' would have happended regardless of who was in command and we needed someone more emotionally connected to eren to stop that, hence why whether you like it or not, armin was the right choice. erwin would not and could not have been able to stop the thing , the outcome would have been the same regardless, im not saying what the thing was bc of spoilers but i didnt know how to write my point without mentioning it.

idk

Erwin became like this not for humanity, it’s only to prove that his father was right. He became a great leader and sacrificed all the soldiers only to prove that. But Armin’s ambition is beyond that. and his plans are genius and less lose. And Levi realized that.

Ahmad B

All my homies hate Floch

Josh Knoebel

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Ik when they were talking about it I was like with their ages it wouldn’t add up, Erwin’s dad looked at least 30 and that was about 20 years ago. That would make him close to 50. I don’t think zeke looks 50

CherryTart

I agree, even from the beginning I never could hate Reiner because I didn’t know anything about him, anytime we would see his mental state slip, (like when he murdered Marco) it just made me super curious as to why he was doing all this.

CherryTart

listen I love Erwin, but fuck Floch

SlightlyBetterPudding

I really hope that season 4 might soften you guys a bit towards Reiner and Bertholdt ;-; Idk, I never really hated them so I'm not sure how much my perspective changed throughout witnessing their backgrounds. Full disclosure though since yall are getting through season 4- Reiner is definitely my favorite character.

Maari

Exactly right Gestrid. Levi would rather let him rest

__JMN

I agree! I wanted it to be Erwin, but the show did a great job of making both options make sense.

Ben Crawford

Also,as Erwin himself said, he dish know what he'd do once he found the truth. Everyone has to be drunk on something to keep pushing on. So what reason would Erwin have to keep pushing on after learning the truth? Armin, on the other hand, has dreams of what lies beyond the walls. He has the drive to keep pushing on even after they find out the truth.

Gestrid

Same it was so intense! And they really have you reeling about who is going to get it and who's not. But rewatch after season 4 it's a different vibe. 🥴😭😱🙈

Brittney Wright

Fr, i had to go here after last night

GBuckets

New episodes when??

Sohrob Ibrahimi

Isn't Erwin like ten years older then Zeke? Wasn't his dad like 45, when when Erwin was a kid? Do Carter and Cannon only see blonde and beard and think, they have to be the same person?

rac coun

A lot of people don't understand (and maybe I'm wrong), but the main reason Levi chose Armin over Erwin is because what they were drunk on would lead them in different paths. Erwin's sole purpose was to find the truth. Beyond that, he did not care of want more. Armin's purpose was to find the sea and confirm what all the things he dreamed of were real. But beyond that, he wanted to know what was there and keep going. On top of that, Armin WILLINGLY gave up his dream for the sake of victory whereas Erwin had to be persuaded/forced by Levi. What a f***ing show.

Stanley Labissiere

any season 4 AOT today?

YourGuy

Damn, getting the patreon version of these videos was worth it

-Antix-

Same! I cried, so hard for like an hr. I was never the same. AOT is truly a masterpiece.

Isabel Hernandez

Also imagine trying to get recruits now, they came back with no one alive, it’s gonna be even harder to get people to fight

Music is Heart

Man when I finished the manga I had an existential crisis for like 3 days..... Season 4 is such a freaking trip... Like you guys are so right and also so wrong all at the same time.

Brittney Wright

Lmao i really really love the discussions and the theories. Seriously. Can't wait for future episodes and for the story to unravel fully.

lafatte24

These episodes always make me cry rip

Starriyu

This is my favourite episode of the whole series. Reading the manga for this arc was so intense not knowing what might happen. The debates my friends and I had over whether Levi would choose Armin or Erwin was intense. So glad to see you all finally react to it

Ieva Perkons

how u guys gonna watch season 4 before March 3ed ?

Ahlam

Absolutely love your reactions. They seem so incredibly genuine plus very observant. It’s awesome

Asbjørn Kennedy

YESSIR KYLE! welcome!

Studio Geck

That was not me😭lol

Studio Geck

falconnn

manga reader here😅🥹 i can’t wait to finally see the rest of the story come to life

jordan solomon

This show hit so different once you are caught up with the manga or the anime S4 (until this point)

Andrea Hernandez

Bravo! JMN

Andrea Hernandez

that and that they become Flochlovers and lover of his sire... I refuse to name them. Sasha's father is my pastor and Hange, period.

Andrea Hernandez

the fact that there´s no music in this episode until the very end! Whe Levi is thinking about that goodbye to Erwin that soft piano an then the music intensifies TT_TT

Andrea Hernandez

well, if you think eldians are devil... But I was thinking of Brendan Fraser XD

Andrea Hernandez

very good point. the line that Eren says in this episode: “The one who will save humanity isn’t me or the Commander, it’s Armin!” is one of my all time favorite lines! we also have to think about Levi’s OVA. Erwin tells Levi in that OVA that whenever a soldier asks someone else what to do, at that point they should just give up and die which is why in this episode Levi says that to him and he smiles after and says “Levi, Thank you” everything is full circle in this show and that is why it will always be number 1 to me!

jordan solomon

When will you guys upload the next episodes on patreon?

Ahmsterr

I made my patreon account to subscribe to this, I am loving the content!

Speqqs

Yes, and I also had the thought as I was rewatching: what state of mind would Eren be in if Levi let Armin die when he was about to save him? Would Eren ever trust him in the future? Eren is so vital to their fight, putting him in that kind of a depression could have been catastrophic

Theresa

Yes! I'm so glad you guys are going to make a dub react for all the best scenes. I am so pumped for that, it's going to be so good!

Theresa

Carter w that level 0 empathy, how do u finish season 4 and then rewatch and wish pain on Bertolt

blitzman08

Glad to be here. Found y'all reaction at the perfect time, right before the new part release. Its been great rewatching with you guys. And good to know! Hyped for the rest :)

Krii

WELCOME!!! So glad to have you! Yes, for right now our upload schedule is the entire next weeks uploads start coming in on friday and continually upload throughout the weekend. In the future we will probably shift to an exact week early drop once a day though

they start uploading on fridays for the weekend!

New patreon here. When do they release the new batch of eps usually?

Krii

When people say Levi made the wrong choice, I’m just like…you know Erwin entrusted Levi with making that call. If you trust Erwin, you trust Levi to have made the right choice.

Mizzy

i will always vouch for Armin over Erwin in this episode simply because i look at Armin as the next Erwin. they both put everything on gambles and i believe them to be parallels of each other with their strategies and such! Erwin is still a goat to me ofc but so is Armin! love them both❤️

jordan solomon

top tier content guys! Keep it up cannot wait to embark in the latest season with you all , the AOT community is massive and we appreciate the fast uploads 👍🥰

charley curtis

The moment Cannon said that Erwin was his favorite back in the old reactions I was like oh boy... that boy is gonna be in shambles and he did

Kim555

People don't say Erwin is selfish strictly on him having a desire/goal. The reason he's selfish is he used the Scouts as a means to an end for his goal to find the truth. Yes, the truth benefits humanity, but Erwin's goal was to prove himself and his father right. He even admits to Levi at one point that his actions are spurned on mainly due to wanting to find out the truth. Yes, anyone as Commander would have the burden of being responsible for so many lives, but we know Erwin "gambled" a lot and it wasn't always with the best intentions. I completely understand why people like Erwin so much, but he's also human and has flaws and that's something that makes his character so wonderful! I see what he did as his final act was him making it up to his comrades, which was definitely eating away at him.

metalgearbear

its says in the description , s4 e7, but probably fruther now

LVZ

i bet they're already done with s4 part 1 :')

Lapin

Which episode are you guys on IRL? 👀

Nash

Thank you guys so much, and please always let us know how we could improve our patreon! We love this community so much!

Studio Geck

Not gonna spoil my thoughts just yet😉 I will wait until the S4 Review

Studio Geck

Actually same : )

Jarno Somers

You're the first Patreon I've ever subbed to, and now I know it was the right choice. Fantastic react <3

C2-H5-OH

Such a masterpiece

Alieno Pietro

So Carter, do you still think that Arcane is better than AOT?

chaosmerchant

Erwin is also my favorite character, I sobbed. Everytime his speech shows up on my timeline I have to either scroll past or accept that I'm going to cry lol loved the reaction.

Lew

oh no dont worry Mckay I definitely wasnt angry. I did think it was something along those lines, I guess I was just slightly concerned at the time that you guys didnt think about the deeper meaning of the show. I was more guessing you were doing it for their benefit

Sean Carroll

Completely agree

McKay Carter

Sorry Sean we weren’t trying to make you angry or anything, a lot of it is an act to not give away future character development to carter and cannon, like if I started vouching for Reiner and agreeing with him don’t you think that would give something away? 😂 I still stand with my comment because I can have any opinion of any character I want but I do appreciate your comment and I’ll try to tone it down in the future.

McKay Carter

I love how AoT makes you just forget about the main plot point of the first three seasons, genius writing by Isayama.

Takuro za siromašne

FR most channels don’t even release more than 3 times a week on their patreon and before making a patreon, they used to upload almost everyday on YouTube. We’re so spoiled. Everyone needs to relax a little lol

Gael

even if they divide the injection into two, they still only have 1 titan shifter to eat, so they can only turn 1 of them back into human/titan shifter

Param Thakkar

I think both of them are heroes. Erwin had been willing to sacrifice himself before, like when he was gonna be executed during the coup d'état, or when he saved Eren from Bertolt after just losing his right arm. Erwin's plan needed the recruits to charge with him because it wouldn't have worked out otherwise, they needed a big distraction. And he didn't force any of the recruits to die, they willingly sacrificed themselves. Armin had to sacrifice himself because there weren't any more people at the other side of the wall. The part about Kenny's words is true and I agree with Levi's decision of giving the serum to Armin, but only because his ambitions were beyond what's inside the basement, not because Erwin was selfish or a 'devil'.

seamus4ever

Right. Just wait lol

A_Daddy Daichi

i get it. i like the sub too i just LOVE the dub and i only ever see reaction channels watch it in sub so it would be nice to see that change i think

jordan solomon

I prefer sub but the dub is pretty good

A_Daddy Daichi

Agree, but I would appreciate if they could state clear if they are going to post 19,20 or not in the weekend and people will know that they don't need to wait

lydia

😭

lydia

Well said

James

just came here to quickly say that if / when you guys watch Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood PLEASE watch it dubbed. it’s a rare time when the dub is better than the sub. ive watched them both and i definitely prefer dubbed as im sure most of the FMAB fans do as well!!!

jordan solomon

Download the app. A million times better

Teresa

They both are tactical and analytical geniuses but Armin had the greater potential, while Erwin had the experience. Armin and Erwin both came up with plans that involved a personal sacrifice and someone else taking out the opponent from behind, the difference is that Armin himself was the only sacrifice and his plan succeeded. Also Erwin's dream was about learning the truth of the world but Armin's dream was about the wonders of the world, he is more optimistic this is why Levi thought of Kenny's final words about everyone being drunk of something and realised that Armin's goal is more noble than merely a personal desire for the truth. Erwin is willing to surface anyone and anything to reach his goal by becoming a "devil". Armin is willing to sacrifice himself and even his dreams for everyone else, that's why he is a "hero." As much as we all love Erwin, Levi made the right call. Armin is a younger Erwin with even greater potential and a moral compass. Erwin got them this far and Armin is the one to carry the torch.

__JMN

Honestly!

jul ☽

I really hope ppl stop begging for more episodes💀💀 Just appreciate the effort they have done for us so far:))

Teresa

YESS W comment

Teresa

There was a little bit of false hope with the possibility of having episode 19 being released. But to be honest they're putting out content at breakneck pace. At this point, we're kind of spoiled, compared to other reaction channels. I think people just need to be a little more patient. I know it can be addicting and you just can't wait for the next one, especially when it's season 3 part 2.

Jeffrey

Canon: We are now more emotionally regulated AoT: Well lemme break it again 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Gregorius

I also read that Gabi was inspired by Arya Stark from Game of Thrones.

James

yeah slow and steady :)

Kim555

For real, I've been thinking the same thing. People be feral, damn lol

Caspar

Thanks a lot for taking extra time to upload all these episodes. We really appreciate it and your work doesn't go unnoticed! You are great guys!

Rob Izquierdo

Relax. People are free to ask all they want and the creators are free to post whenever they want. They don't have to oblige anyways. Just take it as a compliment that people really love their stuff.

Darren Pangan

FAX

Zechree

they dont have to rush. theres still a second part later on, they have time

nomorepartiezz

I love this community but my god, people need to stop being so needy. In the space of 2 days, they put out 8 aot reactions, and a the last of us episode. People need to stop asking for so much and let them relax a bit. They also have to spend time editing for the YouTube channel, and have social lives.

Matthew Hunt Davies

Lmao I just thought they would upload the entire weekend didn’t know wanting an episode to be uploaded meant I had no hobbies or nothing else to fill my time🤣. Good lord I wasn’t that serious when I said we gotta wait Lmaooo

Snow

yo i cannot wait any longer for yall to watch season 4

ChrisBrah-4

Finally got the chance to catch up on these. I love love love all the commentary and theories at the end. thank you guys for the consistent uploads 🥹 also, I was crying along with you guys for a lot of these scenes even though I’ve seen them multiple times at this point 🥲

cesiah

Just because his actions are justifiable doesn't mean that i have to empathize with him

sesaka

Still had a soft spot for berthed,just because of when he was with the team

Linnea anderson

Hope you guys get some rest and don't burn out. Don't let the impatient commenters force you to be uploading 24/7. Some of you guys who watch and comment need to get a hobby or job or something. lol appreciate the grind Studio Gek!

Charlie Bronson

I'm not sure I can explain myself without spoiling guys😂 All I could say is that Erwin is much looked up to and have bigger say which is a huggggge advantage armin don't have. Being respected and having a lot of upper rank social connections I believe Erwin can gather more information to prevent some huge diversity happening and could've prevented some death. Not to mention that without floch, there's no jeagerist and without erwin, there's no flochh

lydia

good! let em get some sleep, you guys are so impatient its crazy lol, go get a hobby or something else to fill your time.

Charlie Bronson

As they should 💯fuck berthold 🔥

Prime

They've post 3-4 episodes every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday

Alex Ramirez

I agree that you disagree lol. I didn’t see your comment but when I think about it, I personally don’t think it would’ve been much of a change. But that’s what’s cool about these kind of shows, many different perspectives and interpretations

A_Daddy Daichi

That’s definitely interesting, how do you think things would’ve gone differently with Erwin?

FlyingIntervation

omg I forgot about that. that's nuts

Kim555

my war is 100% spoiler free but they should not even listen to the next one

James

one week is too long :(

kevin man

How do the ones that already watched it get happy about Berthold dying, knowing what's going on

MikeAngels99

First half is one hour long ep, second half is same

Toby Young

as Lelouch said, only a single episode is dropping for now. it will probably be uploaded as soon as they watch, edit, and post it. i think it would be cool if they livestreamed the episode here on patreon if its possible tho

bloartle

I still believe that ep 19 will drop tonight, it's the perfect way to wrap up this weekend.

David Herrera

S04p3 1st half is a 1hr tv special episode

StarStrucc

wait 11 days till the anime comes back?! I was a manga reader but I'm still super excited

Zechree

It's better to get these 4 last episodes together next week. It's like calmness after the storm sort of thing.

Kim555

no that was enough imo. Next week we get the last 4 episodes of season 3. They're already on episode 7 of season 4 but idk if we'll see any of it with the next patch of episodes

Kim555

don't worry no one can see your deletes

Kim555

I have two questions. So, when season 4 part 3 drops which is 1 episode a week. Will you be uploading 1 episode per week and when will it drop after the episode airs?

Kim555

Post more?

Lag Sold

Oh shit I didn’t even know

Lag Sold

you got 21 episodes and 11 days left before season 4 part 3. good luck and buckle up

Kim555

I mean finish posting lmao I can read buddy

Abby Rodriguez

I disagree (do not look at the comment I deleted if that's something you can do, it contains a spoiler I didnt think about until I hit enter)

Daniel Musgrave

Are we getting 19 20 today? 🥺

lydia

My first watch I was so naive thinking that they should definitely save Armin simply because he is the younger one. Like how ‘children are the future of our society’. Now that I’ve rewatched the show a few times. I actually think Levi should’ve save Erwin. With Erwin, everything will be absolutely different in season 4.

lydia

Feel like Jack would defend Gabi but for sure Cannon and Carter is gonna hate them cause they love shasha. Hope the hate don’t last long tho

lydia

You are getting the whole point wrong. People are not mad because they say Berthold deserves to die. They are mad because they want him to die in the most painful way. Which sounds cruel fr considering where Berthold come from.

lydia

Yep, he deserves to die horribly too. I’m a firm believer of equal trade. So everyone in this show who killed deserves to die. Everyone. Your life is not much better compare to any other guy. But since this is only fiction who cares right?

kobehoneylyn

I feel like Jackson is a Gabi stan! He's such an intellectual dude

Gael

But still Renier’s not dying is so annoying. All the illogical plot holes kinda things happen around Reiner.

lydia

Yeah but they initially didn't watch them cause they contained spoilers. It makes no sense they don't watch this one along with the season especially since they said they actually love openings

Rodrigo Figueroa

They’ll finally meet the owl! Can’t wait for 19 20 reaction

lydia

Fr, I respect their opinions but just that moment made me felt kinda off. I’m guessing maybe they are just doing that to match their energy?

lydia

It's okay to wish Eren a horrible death. The heck he only has one life. How about all the innocent people he killed?? Did they deserve their horrible deaths?

lydia

Yeah it's literally the only one you can't possibly get a spoiler from

DeludedDonut

they said 100 times they will watch them all at the end and rank them

Sean Carroll

What if…they got so excited watching the show that they forgot to record or lost the footage 😳

VincebGamin

Guys, I really hope u are not missing the season 4 part one opening. It has no spoilers and it sets the mood just right for the crazy season you'll be watching!

Rodrigo Figueroa

Me too 😂 I wanna knock floch off

lydia

Saul titan coming soon 😂😂

nomorepartiezz

People, the op ain’t talking about the new watchers. He/she is referring to the second watcher saying ‘Hope he die in the worst way possible’ which he/she finds odd (which I agree as well knowing they’ve watched the whole story). I don’t think he/she has an issue with them wanting Bert die. But the ‘die in the worst way possible’ is his/her point

lydia

I don’t think Erwin ever let guilt get over his mind.

lydia

Who knows, Erwin’s dad could’ve been a dumb titan since gone which makes him doesn’t age. Wouldn’t be so surprised if the Beast Titan really is Erwin’s dad

lydia

Not the top 5 for me, but that’s a fair point! It’s in the top 10 for me tho

lydia

I hope not

Tsunazoz

I don’t think so 😭😭

YaBoi

19th* I apologize for my drunkenes

Michael deBoisblanc

So no episodes tonight?

Alex Ramirez

You're commenting on it lmao

Alex Ramirez

oh interesting

A_Daddy Daichi

I love gabi lol. definitely didn't at first

A_Daddy Daichi

Wheres the 18th episode fam

Michael deBoisblanc

It has been 82 years since the last post

AYAYAJUICER

Can it be next weekend already?? So hype to see your reactions!

YaBoi

Damn I was hoping for an extra one this weekend lol. Either way it's cool how this all started out from "anime haters" trying out AOT, and then within a few days a full on commitment to finishing ALL the episodes before the next season comes out lol. Hope you all enjoy the next series, but nothing will be like AOT. Taking time before/after each episode to talk about it is cool though. It's so easy to binge it all and then it's over. But you can always watch the dub next time around!

Z Rhoads

Isayama said that Falco was inspired by Jesse from breaking bad

Meave

dang looks like were waiting another week to see your guys reaction to the basement :(

DW AWdAWD A

oh my god, again, the last of us episode from this week 🔥

nomorepartiezz

Jus Isayama not loving Berto lol

Miranda

Reiner is the sleeping beauty in S4 lol

Miranda

I know, it makes me sad 🥲 but I’ve been proven wrong before! (Would have bet my life the reactor Nicholas Light would have hated Gabi but he shocked the world) Gotta be one outta 5 of them right? Just takes a little bit of empathy to simply not hate a child 😁

hman70

oh they r def going to hate gabi

celery

Any uploads comin tonight?

Toby Young

they did but for the story to go on the way it did it was the right choice. If they had chosen Erwin S4 would be completely different

lina ea

i wish the show went more in depth on why Bertholdt became a warrior, his dad was dying so he became a warrior to give his dad a better life and hopefully allow him to live a little longer, I kinda wish when Bertholdt died the show would have had a quick flash to Bertholdt and his dad and in his head something like "im sorry dad, I couldnt save you". It would have made the moment more bittersweet in my opinion

Sean Carroll

i reckon theyll be caught up off camera next week while we will still get the uploads each week, so we will probably see their season 4 part 3 reaction in 3 weeks or 4

Sean Carroll

they made the wrong choice though

Sean Carroll

do you mean gabi is the devil

Sean Carroll

its one of the most ridiculous theories though, erwins dad was a 30 or 40 year old man as a teacher, we see the military police torture him in Sannes flashback. We know Erwin is about 40 now so his dad would be 60-70 years old, what man that age has a 12 pack of abs? Also not to mention that the hair colour is completely wrong, I dont think the walls has hair dye, not to mention that hed probably be grey haired by now

Sean Carroll

there are 4 left

Sean Carroll

I love Bertolt so much, he’s probably my favorite character in the series. the hate in that moment hurt but I get it 😂 I hope this group isn’t 100% Gabi haters. We need at least one Gabi stan on that couch, she gets so much abuse from the community 🤞🏻

hman70

Note: this comment was a reply to someone who misunderstood the erwin hand movement scene, not pointed at the reactors, the guy must have deleted their comment

Sean Carroll

they are already in season4

Sean Carroll

Pleaseee give us an update we're dying😭

Nani Castillo

I am fun at parties actually Henarivan, I am just unapologetic about what I say to people if I have an opinion on something. The good thing with these guys is they see my comments as good discussion points compared to other reactors who have got offended by how I speak

Sean Carroll

of course everyone has flaws including Erwin, thats not the discussion point, your point there is moot. The finale episode when Floch spits facts at everyone shows the wider militarys feelings towards the decision so your other point is also moot. Erwin was definitely the shining light of the miltirary after his plan to overthrow the government resulted in the next big step for humanity, before that he was disrespected etc but after he definitely would have been the major face of the military along with Zachary.

Sean Carroll

Brian: if you decided to read my comment properly you would realise that it was pointed towards the guys who have seen the show, not Cannon or Carter. So yes I can judge it because they have critical information and they still decide to divert away from the message this show is repeatedly trying to portray. Their opinions on Gabi will be the final nail in the coffin if its what I expect. Gabi is the character who weeds out the hypocrites and those who understand the message of the story.

Sean Carroll

its funny because if you take into account that Erwins dad was likely in his 30s or 40s as a teacher and this is 20-30 years later Erwins dad being the beast titan doesnt make sense. I mean how many 60-70 year old men have 12 pack abs and different coloured hair, so many people make this incorrect prediction and stick to it which just boggles me haha.

Sean Carroll

This is Cannon, and you’ll see that i say i like reiner a lot. you’ll hear me say it a ton

Studio Geck

yea perhaps, it's okay let them rest dude this upload rate is insane already 😂

vjr25

Well said.

Zzz

Shinzo wo sausage roll

Erwin is also my fav character from this show Cannon. A lot of ppl think he’s a really selfish character. But honestly, I think he’s one of the most selfless. I think everyone human, like Kenny mentioned, has an internal selfish desire that drives them throughout life, and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. It’s what makes us human. But Erwin’s dream, his entire purpose of existing thus far, was literally within the grasp of his hands. It was right there, but he was willing to give it up for humanity. I don’t know how many ppl know the pain of willingly giving up something you’ve desired for decades for the benefit of others. He has all my respect for this. And I hate that they call him a devil, because anyone in his position has the burden of being responsible for many deaths. That’s what’s expected when you join the scouts. However, unlike other commanders in the past, less ppl died under Erwin’s command. He did the best that he could in his situation. I know there are so many tragic characters in AOT, but something about Erwin, and him dying literally right before achieving his lifelong goal, just hurts so much. I love this man.

I would suggest posting a text update sometime in the day just so you don't have a hoard of comments wondering when the next episode is. That patreon number is jumping up and I'm pretty sure it's going to be *a lot* of comments.

Ash

They (mostly Carter) mentioned that uploading on the weekends works better for their them and their schedule.

Gael

I truly can’t wait to see your guys’ reactions to s4. My fav part of aot is finally coming up.

Ready for the basement reveal!!

Guess we gotta wait til next week for the basement 😕

Fair enough guys. You all got a point

Poor Bert was just a brainwashed child solider who didn't want to fight and only fought to afford his dad medicine. It was sad seeing him screaming for his friends in the end, friends on both sides =(

Nrock23

Damn they really hate Reiner and Bert lol, they will see

Nrock23

@winter, i wouldn't go as far to say that bertholdt and reiner are tragic heroes. in the end, they make their decision that the innocent (ignoring the origin lore) bloodshed is unavoidable before the main fight in season 3, episode 13. (and realistically, it really is unavoidable as they would be against their own nation who is far more powerful than the primitive eldians and has all of their family members hostage) but the fact remains that they are conflicted with realizing on their own that there are no devils that they were trained to kill. and that's why it's so conflicting as a viewer to see berthold and reiner as simply "the bad guys".

bluerum

it's not about choosing sides. again, it's not a black and white show or a discussion of who started it or who should blame who. yes, they've killed thousands and that is terrible regardless of whether they had a choice or not as kids. but to paint them as a one dimensional villain that you wish a painful death on them, even after knowing the backstory that bertholdt and reiner didn't really have a choice, is quite a simple-minded reaction. nothing justifies anything of anyone. it's all about perspective but clearly the two on the right, even after watching a whole season on the perspective of marleyans, only simply sees the perspective of the walls which I think is very narrow minded. they're basically acting like falco/jaegerists which yes technically in their perspective, are just fighting for themselves. of course we have bias towards people of the wall because they are portrayed as the main protagonist in the show. but the show is not about that. it's not black and white. I'm not saying reiner and bertholdt are clean. they have plenty of blood on their hands. but we see the inner conflict in season 2 during the chase scene. we see the inner conflict with reiner's split personality and the fact that he almost killed himself due to guilt in season 4. how do you just mindlessly think "haha screw bertholdt, die a painful death!" after watching that?

bluerum

And akuma is like a demon or evil spirit, so Floch just called Erwin a monster who would sacrifice anyone and anything for victory.

L.Lindberg

RIP Commander.

L.Lindberg

I do not know if this has been mentioned, if it has I have not seen it. But is there any reason why you guys do not upload on the week days?

Ladnon

yea you can empathize with why he did it but still view him as an antagonist

nomorepartiezz

WHERE IS THE NEW EPIS 😫

Chiefzys

Fr tho. I did have some sympathy for Bert but still wasn’t mad that he died lol.

Brody Bigler

I was conflicted too but after rewatching it a couple of times, Erwin’s journey end was better than Armin’s. On another note, are the next episodes of season 3 going to be uploaded today or Friday? It’s so close to March 3rd and want to make sure we are all caught up together 😈

Reckless

no 19?

nomorepartiezz

The 1st time i watched this, yeah. I agree. Erwin was the logical choice, without a doubt (even though i love Armin). I would have picked him too. But then after rewatching this ep a couple of times, I feel like this is the proper way to end Erwin's journey. All his life, he had just one goal and that's finding out the truth. When Levi asked him what he will do after, he said he doesn't know yet. Like Kenny Ackerman said, everyone needs to be drunk on something just to keep moving forward. Contrast that with Armin who is still very young, full of hope and has dreams to see the sea/outside world. Armin's story isn't complete yet at this point. Erwin, just like Kenny, had already made peace with his fate. He knew this is where his story ends. On the other hand, Armin's story isn't over. If Levi did choose Erwin, Armin's story would feel incomplete (to me anyway). I just wish they had 2 injections and 2 titans so both could have lived.

Hannahbelle

Just watched 11-18! Definitely one of the points I've wanted to see y'all react to since episode 1! Now it's on to the big episodes 😈 Hope y'all are enjoying S4!

Driscollis

All these people who are getting upset over how he said berthold deserved to die 💀💀shut up bozos, they are entitled to their own opinion😂 Also fuck berthold 💯

Prime

I remember not being convinced that Armin should've been the chosen one until I watched the show like three times and listened to every single reasoning there was about it lol. Erwin is definitely one of my top characters but nowadays I know they made the right choice.

lina ea

they're doing 2 extra long episodes so both, especially the second one, will have a lot more time put into it rather than the 16 and 12 episode full seasons that mappa only had a year to animate

Nextrackter

I would have chosen Erwin too, but I understand why Levi wouldn't want to bring him back. I'd like to think he moved his hand subconsciously for Levi to give it to Armin, but I think Levi saw Erwin on his last breath being haunted by his demons of the soldiers who died for his dream to know the truth. He also remembered that he smiled and accepted his death when Levi chose for him to give up on his dream and actually thanked him(which wasn't in the previous episode), lifting that weight off his back. He also saw how Erwin looked for outsiders as a "Demon" (in the eyes of Floch), and acknowledged that it was humanity who forced that role onto him.... notice how there was no background music until the end and some sounds after the confrontation scene.

Ahmed Alnajar

It doesn't matter how many times you watch either. The OST is too strong.

Jawrool

I just finished 16-18 reactions and each episode made me cry like a baby

farkzzy

of course, because it is impossible to find a similarity with reality, right? because the Nazis never exist, neither do the Jews, not to mention the Palestinians... and to think that one who suffered genocide is applying the same to another nation... AOT is fiction impossible to compare with reality XD imagine you were a child from Gaza, who has nothing to do with religious hatred and you were attacked; or you were brainwashed, carrying slogans from the year 1000. Impossible

Andrea Hernandez

We also know Erwin did have casualties before becoming commander, because in the OVA where he recruits Levi that scouting expedition had plenty of casualties.

Nick K

Exactly, the anime will answer the question.

Rashad T

Just to clarify on the calling Erwin the devil part, the actual word that Floch used is "akuma" which often gets translated to either demon or devil, so it's not that Floch was calling him the literal Devil, but rather saying a demon, someone capable of being even more terrifying than the enemy, was the only hope they had to win.

Nick K

episode 7 huh XD I want to se the reaction for 8th XD damn the devil

Andrea Hernandez

you have the burden of knowledge because you already watched the whole show. they haven’t yet, so you can’t really “judge” how they feel yet. i remember when i watched s3 part2 my thoughts toward bertholt were similar, but as i was watching the rest of the show i started to feel more and more sympathy..

brian

I don't know, Erwin would have made the same choice by himself imo, he wouldn't be talking like that if he didn't, Levi just took it from him bc he could see how it pained him to give up on his dream so short before the goal. Admin didn't talk to Eren about his true goal bc he knew Eren would object, in a way Eren wasn't mature enough to let go, Levi was. And considering he is an Ackerman also

winter

What? There's a reason Eren in season 4 is called the Paradis model😂

winter

Wrong theories are part of the first watch experience, definitely should not correct people on theories.

Nick K

bro Eren had a glowup in s4 tho

kiiturii

I agree with @Sean Carroll here, I don’t think the people would have been unhappy to see Erwin back (as much as I love Armin). From the military’s perspective, they recaptured Wall Maria, unlocked the basement and found the truth. That is a huge huge win for humanity. And given how the revelation leads to a lot of uncertainty amongst the leaders, I’m sure they would’ve been glad to have a pragmatic, decisive, daring and intelligent commander back. I mean think about it- if you were a part of military and were told that Levi had the choice to bring the commander and another soldier back, he chose to let the commander die. For all his pragmatism, Levi made an emotional decision. Though I’m not sure how Erwin would’ve felt had he been brought back… that’s a different matter!

Shiro

they definitely should not spoil even if he's wrong lmao

kiiturii

Very interesting! I agree with what you said, while Erwin’s duty as a commander is to venture beyond the walls and scout the titan land, he is also driven by his own selfish desire - proving his father’s theory correct. So many times the latter takes precedence over the former, that Erwin makes such harsh decisions that an otherwise commander would’ve shied away from doing so. A case in point is capturing Annie at the cost of civilian lives in Stohess. That is such a bold move, and no wonder the govt. is angry at the scouts after that. His end is cathartic, and in my mind, if I had to point to a ‘hero’ of this series, I think it would be Erwin as he chooses to fulfill his duty as a commander over his own selfish desire. He is indeed a brilliant character!

Shiro

They’re already on season 4 episode 7. Meaning they’ve already watched “That Day” by now. And NO lol, they shouldn’t have spoiled him even though he was dead wrong. I had the same theory up until “Midnight Sun”. It’s apart of the journey!

Ryan

Please tell him already that Zeke is not Erwin’s dad.. i get it it spoils him in some way, but this theory is just going to confuse him down the line as he already firmly believes it’s true.

long ass username

Anymore uploads today bros?

Venny

The “grand entrance” is one of the best scenes in animation, in my opinion.

The Owl

In the end Erwin seemed content with his own death, as he smiled to Levi after his promise to kill the Beast Titan. He had already wanted to die before but was clinging on to the one thing that he was "drunk" on, the basement. Armin apsired to something much more, a hope that is needed in that world to embody the central message of the Scouts. Also, my favorite character is probably Reiner as he has such a complex character.

Jbarbn

Jean just look so ugly in S4 lol

Miranda

he was interviewed in NYC 11/2022 and said his fav changes seasonally. his fav right now is Jean. which i agree on both reiner and jean. 👌🏻

esie ♡︎

Please post more

Lag Sold

I honestly think you're projecting a lot here. Erwin isn't the shining beacon of the entire military. He's one facet of the Scout regiment. Yes, he's an amazing leader and person, but he is not without flaws. There's plenty of strong leaders like Pyxis, Hange, Levi. Besides, at this point, the military has been thinned out immensely and the unity for the people in the walls is Historia. I don't see how choosing Armin puts discourse in the military. They have to rebuild their forces at this point anyway, so most people that join up after this point will never have worked with Erwin and won't have that attachment. Whether Erwin or Armin was the "right" choice is not really a thing here. This is not a black and white answer since there's no way to predict what's to come and what will be needed. That's why it's valid that both are a good choice and in this situation it comes down to the best choice the living can make, which is never going to be as clear cut as we want it.

metalgearbear

ik that's not the point, but wdym he's the only good-looking character in S4, don't do my man jean like that haha. seriously though, i love reiner too, such a great character

anna

he’s confirmed isayamas favourite character

farkzzy

Brig with the toast comment hahahhahahahhahahahahah way way way to soon

DerekSniper30

It's so funny to watch you guys want Reiner to die so much. Reiner is my favorite character from this show and I just want this boy to rest in peace but he just can't die lol. Isayama must love him so much bc he's the only good looking character in S4 lol. May this boy get out this nightmare.

Miranda

I still hope Erwin's the one to survive, especially I'm curious the decisions he could make in S4. So many things could be different.

Miranda

Seeing you guys so confident that beast titan is Erwin's dad is like seeing me when I first watched the show, but my friend cleared it out for me that he's not Erwin's dad. Sorry Zeke the beardy.

Miranda

I hope we get to see the basement today

Miranda

I love these discussions, so many good points, perspectives! It really is an "L" and "W" no matter how you slice it. One thing I want to say about Erwin and Armin doing what they did. Up until the end, Erwin was still wavering. Levi had to make the choice for him to give up his dream and die. And it's totally reasonable why Erwin would feel that way given how far he came and how close he was. This is a foil to Armin's resolve. As soon as he realized how they could defeat the Colossal Titan, he was committed and didn't waver. He sacrificed only himself in the process to defeat him. He gave up his dreams and goals immediately, used his dreams as continued courage to follow through the plan, and entrusted it all to Eren. He made those choices all on his own, he didn't need anyone to influence him. Yes, Armin struggles with pushing through at times, but 3x17 really highlighted how his resolve is underrated when push comes to shove.

metalgearbear

Wow I’ve also always thought Levi had to be thinking of Isabel and Farlan when he was listening in on them 3. Definitely some similarities there. Great outlook iaani!

A_Daddy Daichi

S4 ep 7 is one of my favs, it’s so chaotic

yur

Floch is annoying as hell lol

A_Daddy Daichi

You’re correct sean. Erwin wasn’t aware of anything

A_Daddy Daichi

Great explanation

A_Daddy Daichi

lfg!!! my life is complete. anyway to brig and mckay keep making those saucy comments and jokes! i love watching fishes in the comment going wild xD

Henarivan Andhika

yo sean based on your every comment above you must be really fun at parties lmaooo

Henarivan Andhika

Eren vs Bertholdt is not the same. One I watched 3 seasons rooting for and one I watched 3 seasons rooting against and this is fantasy not real life so I don’t have to apply real world logic if I don’t want to

szeth

they had no concrete idea why they have to sympathize with them. lets just say that they got so attached with the character, and in my mind if someone with a reasonable past/reason do "something really terrible" to my son/daughter, i would wish that person to die a painfull death in the heat of a moment and emotion.

Henarivan Andhika

Daaamn "They needed a devil to get to the truth. But where they're going next, they need a Scout" so well said!

metalgearbear

There is a rabid debate amongst the AoT fanbase about how different things would have turned had Erwin lived. Unfortunately, that is one of those things that we can only speculate and will never know for sure... I think personally, if the choice is between whom to choose to live, then it can be painful and regretful. But Levi choose Erwin to die, which is more final (though the outcome is the same either way). If you want to save both but can only choose one, there is agony and regret. But if one chooses to let go and Levi chose to bid Erwin goodbye, then I think one does it with a lot of will and resolve, that's just my opinion though!

Shiro

Should’ve been Erwin no one will change my mind

szeth

About calling Erwin a devil...here's my take Levi said to Erwin "It was all thanks to you that we got this far." That's certainly true. Erwin has been the leader of humanity throughout this show. His intellect and judgment to make impossible decisions are what led humanity to overcome the govt and to defeat the Titans in Shiganshina. No one was equipped to do that but Erwin. It's why he's a top character for me, and many others. And the thing motivating him to lead humanity, was his past with his father. His father introduced him to doubts about the official history given by the government of the walls. But, being an ignorant child, Erwin did not understand that openly talking about these things would end up getting his father killed. That guilt and outrage over his father's death stayed with him his entire life. The most important thing to him was defeating the government and finding the "truth" of this world to honor his father and make up for his own foolishness. In pursuing that goal, he became a leader of men. He became the one to give orders - putting people in impossible positions that would inevitably get them killed. He had to make hard choices that got many people killed. He gave countless motivating speeches to young soldiers about self-sacrifice and honor. But, it was always OTHER people that were being sacrificed, not Erwin himself. Erwin wanted to know the truth for himself. And he knew he was one of the few people capable of leading humanity to that end. At some point, the line between Erwin being a noble leader of men vs being a selfish boy desperate to vindicate his father became blurred. That's the whole conversation b/w Erwin and Zachary in the carriage after they overthrew the govt. Zachary says like "You made this risky decision not because you're sure this is the best path for humanity, but because you didn't want to die." Erwin has always wanted to be the one to survive and discover the truth. "There will come a moment when humanity will learn the truth, and I must be there for it." Levi asks, "Is it that important to you? More than humanity's victory?" And Erwin says "Yes." At the same time, Erwin learning the truth is also in the best interest of humanity. To break free from 100 years of govt oppression and lies. I think making hard decisions and seeing so many of his soldiers die really ate away at him, and he started to think of himself as a heartless and selfish person. I think he had a lot of internal conflict about if he was doing the right things. In that final episode with him, he talks about himself as a "conman" and "telling a slew of lies" to the soldiers to convince them to charge to their deaths. He thinks of himself as someone convincing other to die. I think his "devil" is his willingness to continue sacrificing lives for the sake of his dream. His unshakable resolve to see that fulfilled. Erwin's decisions are heartless and ruthless, but at the same time they are necessary if humanity is to move forward. That's my take on Erwin being a devil. Then, at the end, it came down to a final decision. Erwin could have literally ran off like a coward on his own, found the basement, and learned the truth before being killed. But, he chose to be sacrificed along with his soldiers in that final charge. Trusting the living who follow to find meaning in their sacrifices and to learn the truth of the basement without him. So in the end, Erwin's motivations proved to be more about the future of humanity than his own selfishness. I think Erwin is a brilliant character. So much more than a stereotypical military leader. Isayama 🧠

Jag_227

Hopefully we get the next batch before Friday.. lol

VoN

Hmmm. It will depend on my mood.

kobehoneylyn

I wonder if you will also wish eren a horrible death

Annie

I really hope they bless up with 2 more episodes todays

aotant

I need more ASAP!!! :D

Caroline B.

will you guys upload ep19 today? or next weekend?

Aakash Shivhare

Oh my gosh. I thought it would start in the middle of or late March. They only have like two weeks to catch up. Are they going to release season 4 in two weeks, just so we can watch their realtime reaction of the final part 3 hour long special?

Jeffrey

All I can say is be ready for season four, episode twe…

aotant

Post the last 3 for this season, please!

Elmer Higuera

Season 4 episode 7??? 😂😂😂😂😂things got crazy huh? Lol. Now we neeeeeeeeed the next few 😩😩

Joseph Vitale

On a random note, once you're finished with season 4, maybe you can do a short reaction video to the trailer of the final part.

James

It's fine i think – i guess when you're in the feels and you are anxious for what's happening you don't think much about the details. I don't think i noticed it back then either (though, i got accidentally spoiled about Zeke's last name haha). Also, if you think about it, Erwin being around 40, his dad would have to be around Pixis's age, and Zeke was very obviously not that old haha – he looks around the same age as Erwin (which he still isn't lol) Zeke's design was probably intentionally drawn very similarly to Erwin's dad to confuse the viewers/readers, so the reveal would come as a bigger shock. Not gonna lie, it definitely went through my mind that "bro the monkey is Erwin's dad" but then myanimelist came along and dropped the surname reveal for me after finishing the uprising arc while i was innocently tracking my anime progress

anna

these past few episodes are soo freaking good, but also so insanely heavy truly peak, also the goat will be missed

Toff

I always enjoy the debate from this episode - when I watched it I was stuck dead in the middle between the two of them. The show is really smart about how it builds them up as two - very necessary - sides of a coin, makes you root for what Armin will become, whether Erwin will help him on the way, and then just throws it back in your face. Crazy bro. Also tysm Carter for getting these up - it was amazing to watch them all so close together and see everybody react. Obviously new episodes are great, but if you need a break after yesterday and the night before I’m sure no one will blame you. I know I’m just happy we got this far :)

Julia Perez

Love your reactions! Also love that each of the three friends brings different personality/style reacting to your reactions.

Will Wong

I believe that is their goal but we'll see.

Kris

woah, too long

C E.

I remember being so incredibly frustrated w/ everything going on that I just said F the sea. With emotions high at that time, I never really tried to weigh on the pros and cons as to who will be more helpful for humanity's survival despite the fact that both sides were having a back-and-forth of those. I just one-sidedly wanted Erwin to survive. After rewatching w/ a cool head, however, it was a different kind of devastation to realize that both he and Armin deserved to live and that both sides were valid. Even so, I will forever wonder what could've happened if it was Erwin who got the shot - if his continued existence could've somehow changed the flow of the story considering hmm ... I doubt. But one of the possibilities, even if limited, could be the point machine for all we know. It's just another Oh My Isayama, really - and more of that to come apparently. But thank you so much for the uploads! Hope you’ve gotten lots of rest too, Carter, since you stayed up to upload this at 4/5am. Reactions were great as always!

C E.

It is actually if you want to think about it, there's no obligation to do so though. The author openly admires war criminals from WWII which are also enshrined in the most important Japanese shrine (Yasukuni) and worshipped until this day by their premier every year. It's a very Japanese logic that dying doing "the necessary dirty job" for your people (slaughtering millions across Asia) is heroic, which you can clearly see in the ending of AOT. Also ofc with the basic concept of why Eldians were hated etc and what happened to the pacifists in this story (Reiss family).

winter

One of my favorite things about this show is how they add substance to characters retroactively, so a character's "story" doesn't completely end with their death in real time. I hated Berthold & Reiner the first couple of times I watched this series. But on repeat viewings, although I still hate what they've done, I empathize with the character they are and the upbringing they had. There's just so much complexity to the characters and overall morality in this show in general, and I think that's exactly what the writer intended - it's morally ambiguous enough that your thoughts & perspective CHANGES on repeat viewings as you consider more variables, or notice more details, or ask yourself questions like "what would I do in their position?"

The Owl

I wonder whether Levi ever regretted letting Erwin die, really. I know in the end he believed that keeping up the fight was too painful for Erwin and that's why he did it, but I wonder whether Erwin wouldn't have been better for them down the road. Also since you're at season 4 I don't think this is spoiling anything but there was a translation difficulty with what Zeke said to Eren in this episode: Japanese can be a very unprecise language, meaning you don't have to specify a lot of things you would in English. He literally said "you don't look like father at all" and "we were both deceived by that father" which would be weird in English but could both mean "your father" or "our father" in Japanese.

winter

i dont understand how people still misunderstand this scene. Erwin is unconscious and his body acted independently. He was dreaming about the time in class. He had no idea what was going on with the injection. His "swatting" of levis hand was him raising his hand in class, you misunderstood but the reactors understand.

Sean Carroll

Great reactions. Would love to see more episodes today... we're just so damn close to the effin' basement, I'm dying to see you guys react to the big reveal.

The Owl

the will likely be personally caught up behind the scenes but I doubt we'll see whole thing uploaded, especially YouTube. but there's still, whoever knows how much time left after march 3rd so its not a big deal

nomorepartiezz

aint that serious my guy

nomorepartiezz

Word smh

Venny

Bro she already said she gets what he’s saying. No need to judge people so harshly

Julia Perez

You also have to think about where they are in the story right now. They just saw Bertholdt decide to murder all his friends and a good portion of the scouts for basically no reason (even knowing his motives). He never even tried to talk to them, explain himself, ask for help, or anything. Given what they just watched him do, I can see lacking sympathy for him in that moment, even if they know more about his motives. Also, it’s a show, and sometimes people are angry at characters and say things like that. It doesn’t have to mean anything about how they’ll interpret the show moving forward.

Julia Perez

I think they’ll be caught up but we’ll have to wait a little. It all works out because they can catch up on uploads between the weekly break between episodes airing.

keyton bush

F you mean by that lol they didn't have serum

Lusanagi

Pray for Carter, and their editing PC 😆

Josh Knoebel

Carter: "Can someone explain this devil thing to me?" One of the many aspects of AoT that seem completely innocuous, maybe even just a fluke of translation, until you see that no, Isayama has just been dropping these filthy sneaky pieces of foreshadowing since the very beginning of the story. (They're on 4x7 now, so Eldia isn't a spoiler anymore.)

Josh Knoebel

So because of how Bertholdt was raised, disregard everything the people in the walls have went through? You’re acting like they should choose Marleyans side. Think about what they have done to the people within the walls, thats a big factor, imagine how different the show would be if after the first time they breached the walls and infiltrated the military they decided to side with them, which could’ve been possible based on how young they were.

T heFearlessAbsol

RIP Erwin Smith. They should name a university after you.

James

Time for me to binge now 😎

Derora

Haha that was so unexpected. I still can't believe Cannon is hanging on that theory.

Jeffrey

chill, bordering on spoiler territory man

nomorepartiezz

^^ honestly both lmao. I never realized that before

nomorepartiezz

quick question: so you guys are planning to finish all of aot before March 3rd in order to watch the new part when it airs so does that mean we will be getting reactions to the rest of the episodes/season 4 episodes before March 3rd? Does that mean we will be getting the rest of the reactions next weekend which is about 32 episodes in total 😳

Bibi

Kudos to the VAs because the voice acting was phenomenal in this episode.

Rae

"I hope this is the most painful death" Oof, dropped. Very disappointed to hear a guy on the second right who watched season 4 say that about Bertholdt’s end. The guy on the right also said something similar in the last episode. They completely missed the good parts of the show; propaganda/children soldiers getting brainwashed, getting out of the forest, and the fact it’s a cruel world. They can only see the wall’s black-and-white POV. The guy on the left seems to get it though.

bluerum

nahhh eren is goated in s4

Lag Sold

Just pressed play. Damn Brig... Why you gotta do 'em like that? Way too soon

Jeffrey

I've never felt so much tension watching another movie or TV show than watching that episode.

Jeffrey

There is a reason this episode is the highest rated episode across all TV shows on IMDB also the episode before this one at #2 spot! I think there are 3 main reasons as to why Levi choose Armin over Erwin and why I think his decision was the best one 1) it was time to let Erwin Rest In Peace, he has done enough for humanity 2) Erwin’s goal/dream was to go the basement which is within the wall whereas Armin’s dream is to go see the sea, which is located beyond the wall. I understood this as Armin’s goal/dream being a future beyond the walls. 3) Erwin was willing to sacrifice his troops at any moment just for his selfish dream and Hange probably led in the same way. Armin’s view of life and the person he is will make him a leader worth following and protecting because he always tries to save as many lives as possible. Levi had to sacrifice the humanity’s greatest commander for humanity’s ace in the hole. Rest in peace to the 🐐

Bibi

Excited for your s03 final review and rating 👀

StarStrucc

they revived the wrong person fr

Lag Sold

It's okay to wish Bertholdt a horrible death. The heck he only has one life. How about all the innocent people he killed?? Did they deserve their horrible deaths? So it's okay for Bertholdt to kill the others, especially the innocent disregarding their past etc., but not him because he has a "reasonable past"? Nice!

kobehoneylyn

It's sympathy versus empathy. I agree with the main point of your original comment Sean. Still, everyone has a different moral line they draw to help them make sense of the overwhelming wave of difficult decisions in this show. Having said that, if I could pick someone in this show to have the most painful death imaginable I certainly wouldn't pick Bertholdt, there's someone else I have in mind.

Yeah, I want to punch him too. Who the f are they to judge our maturity level? I'll punch who I want to punch. This is only fiction. Like seriously??

kobehoneylyn

I get where you're coming from, it's Armin's idealism versus Erwin's pragmatism. Erwin alone brings a lot of stability and has a lot of connections in the military. Still, I feel like his credit score would be substantially lower with everyone dying and all that. We understand the objectives, but the people within the walls probably won't after a defeat like that. Levi is very in tune with his emotion and has often been shown as a surprisingly empathetic person and after all, he made the decision with the information available to him at the time. Maybe he connected more with Armin on a personal level. Maybe he recognized the uncompromising childlike quality to dream that Isabel (and Farlan) had in Armin after listening to him on the stairs. After everything that happened to them, Levi's friends and Armin still saw the world in a positive light, that's not something you can learn or teach.

iaani

You guys have to finish season 3 part 2 🥲

Abby Rodriguez

I know its a lot to ask Carter but please release the next 2 episodes this week. We need to see the reveal 🥲

Prime

I love how every episode Jackson is smiling so big the whole time 😂

Moni Moo

you want to punch a characer because hes telling the uncomfortable truth? What does that say about your maturity level

Sean Carroll

Season 4 Episode 7? I hope you watched that post credits scene in episode 4! This is where the world of attack on titan totally changes

Devzy 793

That's why I said "I". It's my personal take. Sure Armin is smart but "for me", Erwin is still a better choice. I want to add something else regarding this issue but it will be a spoiler.

kobehoneylyn

Yea its horrible

KowalSky

Erwin was the only one that dared to fight the system. Besides the fact that Armin ia a genius, he would not do it. Humanity would not make to this point without erwin’s gamble tactics.

Patrick Ramos

I agree with the wording "Devil". Anyone in his position had to make hard decisions. But, to achieve his goal he made decisions knowingly sent people to their graves without them realizing. Annie's capture mission is prime example. Also, he tells people what they have to hear, at times not the truth. All the while clinging onto his dream while sending 100s of people to their death destroying their. You can see Levi react to Erwin's words relating to it both before the charge and back inside the walls before the mission. He is a great person and commander in many ways yet not without flaws.

Gnani

Season 4 Episode 7. Oh boy...

James Allpress

oh for sure

sal

OG Phat1

I think the majority of fandom believed Erwin should have been revived, it really was a tough choice.

vee

they get things so right and so wrong at the same time. it's great like every time they say cut the people out 😭

Kyle

Erwin was a fantastic character but I would always pick Armin, especially because I was distraught after his death, like no way they could let him go. Erwins hand knocking Levi back like that was a big emotional moment and then asking the question he asked his dad, being back in that memory at the brink of death… just wow. And Floch.. I’ve never wanted to punch a character more. I get what he’s saying but man he annoys me so much 😂

Janey

Hey Cannon, the main point of my comment was more towards the desire for a character death, that is what I find strange. I appreciate you understand the Marleyan/eldian point of view for Reiner Bertholdt and Annie and also understand that you dont have to empathise with them or agree with their choices, that wasnt really what the purpose of my comment was. My issue more comes under the desire for a character to die who is not portrayed as totally evil but is shown to be extremely conflicted for the most part. Id be very curious what you both think going deeper into season 4 as that is where it becomes very difficult to blur the lines between good and bad. Thank you Mia

Sean Carroll

that was very well said

Zee

Eren should’ve sacrificed himself and let Erwin eat him 😂

Usagi

please post 19-21 tomorrow man

Chiefzys

I don't agree, Sean, but that's fine ✌🏼️ Have a nice day wherever you are.

Mia Malvik

Hey Sean, this is Cannon. Now that we’ve watched a decent chunk of season 4, after reading your comment I still just disagree kind of. There isn’t always a correct way to interpret something, otherwise educated people would never disagree or have differing opinions. You can understand a situation completely and still not empathize or simply like someone’s words or actions. For example, we can understand bertholtds motives but don’t have to choose to empathize with him or agree with his choices regardless. I understand that the same can be said with characters who we decide to justify their actions. I love levi’s quote in season 3 after armin killed his first actual person, on how he didn’t know if he was right or wrong, but simply that jean wouldn’t be there if the choice wasn’t made.

Studio Geck

I love Armin but he definitely was not the right choice, I dont care what people say about erwin having nothing after the basement, he was the only choice to keep unity inside the military as everyone knew him and believed in him. Choosing Armin puts discourse in the military. If we are talking purely about dealing with the Marleyan enemy then Erwin was the only correct choice

Sean Carroll

do you mean season 3 19, 20 and 21 or season 4?

Sean Carroll

Bertholdt got such great character development this season, but it seems to have gone mostly unnoticed. Probably because there was so much other stuff going on, so it would make sense that it didn't catch their attention. Still, I feel like Bert's been a highly underrated character ever since season 2.

Markus

i dont think they would have been that angry, I think they would have been relieved erwin returned at all, even if many soldiers died, it was already expected that people would die in this battle so there would be no reason for anger towards him

Sean Carroll

saying that there is no correct way to interpret something is frankly ridiculous, there is always a correct way to interpret something. I didnt say that they couldnt react in any way they want, my comment was more pointed at the guys whove already watched the show so technically they have already watched it the way they wanted. Im curious to see if it was just for Carter and cannons benefit but we will see. Either way it doesnt matter, ill still enjoy the videos as much as I have been.

Sean Carroll

Dude.. just let them react whichever way is natural to them. There's no ''correct'' way to watch or interpret what is going on

Mia Malvik

do the guys whove watched the show already understand the message of this show? I understand pretending for Carter and Cannons benefit a hatred for Bertholdt but id assume since youve seen the show what it is trying to portray to you. I understand if youre not a fan of bertholdts character but begging for his death to be painful seems to me that you either missed or ignored the message of this show. If you are only pretending for their benefit then i understand but if its genuine desire then thats concerning for season 4

Sean Carroll

I'm probably one of the few who wanted levi to choose armin so bad like i was hysterical seeing him about to inject erwin lol

tskjn

100%, have always thought the same

kiiturii

Phew you’re right. And he already had a lot to begin with

A_Daddy Daichi

true, the people of the walls would not have been very happy had Erwin returned "unscathed" after sending literally all of his soldiers on a suicide charge.

kiiturii

love the speculation talk at the end

kiiturii

I personally think the real reason Levi chose Armin was because of their goals. Levi knows Armin wants to see the sea, but selflessly chose to give up on that dream to serve humanity. He saw Erwin struggle to do the same. Erwin was also close to achieving his goal, would he have the same drive afterwards? Meanwhile, Armin's goal was to see the ocean and beyond, for humanity to be free, to thrive, to explore. They needed a devil to get to the truth. But where they're going next, they need a Scout.

Stoke me a clipper

episodes 5-7 and 19-21 are 🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽

Dony29

I wanted Erwin to be alive then. And that’s still what I want now. Armin is just not it.

kobehoneylyn

also depends if they’re watching the blue ray version. other than that season 4 part2 and hopefully 3 are much better in quality.

Dony29

Think about how much guilt Erwin would have to go through if they brought him back knowing that he led all his soldiers to die. I think it was the right time to let him rest and pass the torch to Armin

Scott

buttt on a more serious note, we appreciate you staying up so late to wrap up these goated episodes🙏🏽🙏🏽. can’t wait for s4 next weekend 😈

Dony29

I will say I do think that while the manner of Erwins death wasn't as intense as armins. Erwins send off of finally choosing to sacrifice himself for humanity even though he was giving up on his dream seemed more like a closed chapter than armins death that seemed fast paced with lack of real closure. That was my thought process when guessing who they were going to save. also thanks for spending so much time working on uploading for us xx

Akyra Walden

I know eps 16,17,18 are considered the holy trinity of s3 but personally I think ep 19,20,21 are truly amazing, the start of change to the series, really thought provoking stuff

Pocketsleuth

maybe y’all boys can round out season 3 as a holiday weekend gift. just kidding 😂😂 unless…👀

Dony29

Something I really really love about this episode is that during the entire scene on the roof there’s almost no music playing. The episode gives us room to feel all of these conflicting emotions based solely on the characters actions rather than having a backing track to it, and then when the music finally comes in it’s this immense bittersweet sigh of relief because it’s finally over but at what cost? This so is definitely too 5 for me in the whole show and I loved how in depth you guys discussed it afterwards!

Elina

You will get a familial relationship from someone with the beast titan but it’s not Erwin, thats for sure😂

Saphira

I was an emotional WRECK during the scene and when I heard that I just burst out laughing

Akyra Walden

I guess Levi realized how Erwin’s last decision would bring more hell upon him after Floch said what he did. It would have been way worse for everyone to know he let his soldiers die but survived himself than to see it him going with his soldiers to battle and dying alongside them for the cause.

Saphira

It was trash on chrome for me. I tried on Firefox and it works perfectly without buffering/quality drops so try switching browsers

StarStrucc

I wonder how they feel about the animation change and quality dropoff in season 4. Hope it doesn't bother them too much

Snow

100%

Owen

Erwin may be dead but his spirit in the show will never. One thing that that will remain lingering in the back of our heads in future episodes to come is.... How would this go down if Erwin was still alive?

ChrisBrah-4

Loving your guy's reactions! Keep it up

Amir Ali

I feel like most people I’ve seen in the AoT universe were team Armin (as I was) over Team Erwin but it’s interesting to see your perspective on this

Derrick

Trust me, I would have loved if Erwin got to the basement and knew more but I think this was a great ending to his character imo

A_Daddy Daichi

Is it just me or the patreon player is kinda trash. Its very slow

AYAYAJUICER

Please end s3 p2 tomorrow, we don't want to get blue ball'd for a whole week lool

Tsunazoz

Yeah my first pick was Erwin, but after that line I was convinced Armin had to get it. As well as the flashback to Erwin saying he didn’t know what he would do after discovering the basement.

Gael

I am the same, Erwin being my favorite character, I wanted him to get the syringe 😭 but I understand that Levi just wanted his friend to rest and not have to go through hell with everything he had to do as Commander, humanity's hope 🥺

Pocketsleuth

My favorite part is when Eren is talking about Armin. "The only thoughts in my head are full of hate. But he's not like that" 😭😭😭 Eren's VA is just out of this world fantastic. I love Erwin and he will forever be goated but I still chose Armin since day 1. Sorry Carter and Cannon lol

A_Daddy Daichi

fr I really thought with the direct flash to grisha they might realize but I guess not 🥲
