When Mikasa kept asking Armin to speak louder like 3 times because it was hard to hear. I guess they were trying to convery that the rumbling was so loud.

But it seemed to come off like a comedy routine and kinda took me out of the intensity of the scene (colossal titans everywhere smashing stuff).

I dont think there was even an attempt at comedy there but i can see why that can be the case for some people.
For me,it never felt like that cuz of the music and shock of what just happened.
I look at that scene as a kind of,hey you still there thing..

I found the conversation hilarious. Armin goes 'Masaka' and has a mini panic attack, asking Mikasa questions and then answering them himself. Meanwhile Mikasa's just like 'Ehhh??'.

Yeah I agree that was kinda weird. Especially when Mikasa was suddenly able to understand him towards the end of the conversation lol

It wasn't as well conveyed as in the Manga, where the very sound effects were so large that they became the boundaries of the panels.

Mappa tried their best to show you how scary the rumbling was and even in this scene it was just to confirm how much loudly it was
And where is the comedy if all she did was asking 2 times ???

I love that moment. With the ominous choir and monstrous rumbling sounds it was very understandable for them not to be able to hear eachother, even when they are literally next to eachother.

That's very sinister, goes to show just how insanely loud the scene must've been!

I can see where the comedy may be coming from. It was supposed to be a scary scene but I found it hilarious too. Reminded me of this video when I first saw this scene.

Was it meant to show how loud the rumbling was? I though it had something to do with mikasa's bloodline and some type of paths stuff

The sound mixing in that scene was off, we should not have been able to hear Armin so clearly

Yeah, that scene was quite poor. If only they were just using Mikasa's POV by making us hear the same thing as her, maybe it would've convey the message better.

The "Ehh" part feels awkward af. I thought I'm the only one until I saw this post. And also wtf with Armin's reaction. I'm not sure if celebrating is the first this you would do when you saw hundreds of giants and a giant skull monster walking in fronti of you

this is just to point out how scary the rumbling its.

that's made the rumbling more horror.

No I didn't find that scene awkward. Although In second half I got a bit over excited.

because armin already predicted or know what about to happen (the rumbling)
and everyone on paradis side/yeagerist already know zeke/eren about to do mini scale rumbling using the collosal titan in shiganshina. that's why they evacuate the people in shiganshina district.

yes it was kinda funny.
Mikasa is always good meme material.

I don't think that's what they were going for. It was already pretty well established that Mikasa had Eldian Ackermann blood through her father and we know all Eldians are essentially connected through the paths and something like mass communication is very easily possible. It was definitely thrown in there to evince the sheer loudness of the rumbling.

i wasn't talking about them establshing it, i meant like because she was an ackreman she couldn't hear because eren was trying to talk to the eldians but ackremens get the message from eren first so they can't hear anything for a little while or something

Yeah it was a little cringe.. I think the director could have done it in a better way that didn't make viewers confused too

I did, at first it came across as an attempt at comedy relief, with Mikasa having to keep asking Armin to repeat himself. If the intention was to convey how loud the rumbling was, they could've done a better job. Like go into Mikasa's POV and cut out the sound with ringing (like how people go deaf after a grenade explosion) with Armin's yells being muffled. I also think the lines and delivery from Armin were odd, like the way he was talking wasn't natural and it was a weird time to be going on about how Eren is their ally. Would've been better if the moment focused entirely on the horror of the situation and left all discussion/exposition for after.
Are ya winning, diners?
