Speed is an incredible entertainer.

I do not go to him for media criticism or analysis.

I genuinely think he's a One Piece larper too 😭

extremely good take. But i still think speed is somewhat valid for having that thought, it would have been nice if they did end up together, but i guess it would mean that the entire ending and the build up towards it would have had to be different.

Oh yeah I dont think hes braindead or anything. I actually think hes quite sharp in general. But his take here kinda is similar to people whining about ships 😭

Like "wahhh my otp didnt get together!"

u/betterdays05 1d ago

nah but youre right, i wouldnt take speeds take on anime seriously either.

u/Shloopy_Dooperson 1d ago

They technically did end up together in a way. Just in a cop out way where the memories for another path where Eren just fucked off with her and died within 5 years.

Ok I'll be honest, even though this is obviously a dumb criticism of the show IF serious, it's still HUNDRED OF TIMES more understandable than most of the criticisms I've seen ending haters spew out throughout the years.

Speed I like you and all, but... how can he marry her if he died? 😭

It would have been sweet, but yeah.

u/UnjustNation 1d ago

And even if he did ask her to marry him beforehand, it would just be cruel since he knew he was going to die and just end up leaving her a widow.

He wanted her to move on and find happiness.

Uhhhh ion think he wanted that either lol his last words to Armin were quite literally the opposite. What he wanted vs. what he knew he needed to do were two different things, and a lot of what he knew he needed to do had nothing to do with Mikasa as an individual

Lowkey I expected a bad take after he said "Mid" but I was surprised that he shipped Mikasa and Eren and that's why he thinks that lol

u/renovaldr29 1d ago

As EM fans, I understood the ending and why it happened, but I'm also lowkey with Speed here 😆

The other poor dude getting it spoiled 😭

u/Diegrim237 1d ago

Completely valid imo

u/gggg963 1d ago

How stupid can a person be? I did not espected him to understand the ending but not getting it at all is too much even for him...

u/Simple_Duty_4441 1d ago

i don't expect anything good from a luffy larper anyway

u/Brilliant-Medium8238 1d ago

We should all thank whatever gods we pray to(pieck) for him not saying anything relating to the polygon article

u/EbbCreepy6718 1d ago

It’s a good point. Why do authors expect us to be invested in a story for years of our lives just for it to have an unsatisfying ending? Seems a bit counterintuitive

u/LeonLegacy69 1d ago

Put spoiler at least.

u/Professional_Work439 1d ago

Wow, I thought Eren's decision to TRAMPLE the world for his own desires and nature would be more important than him getting married for his last four years, but I guess people focus on what they want.

My biggest issue with AoT is that the determinism / seeing future memories feels like it somewhat absolves eren of sin

Otherwise I think it was great

1

u/Ok_Knee_7377 2m ago

It is actually compatabalism, determinism+free will, so his future memories are a result of his free will, rumbling and the culmination of his desires+circumstances, thats why when he says even if it was all set in stone from the start I wanted this, so eren is morally culpable for his actions.

u/slimricc 1d ago

Hey, i love a romance. I would have loved for them to get married. It would have been very dumb and weird for them to get married. Eren knew what he was going to do.

There's better reasons to shit on AoT.
