Raizel said: I was on the verge of tears when Marco said we didn't even talked this through poor guy he died without saying anything. I can't believe their goal is to kill all humans inside the walls, Poor Armin has to take order in a situation like that. Someone must really have had a thing or two for Mikasa. what the heck, how many milliseconds between each frame? Also, DID HANGE JUST DIE??? |

| Dunno tbh I use VLC media player. |

DAMN I FORGOT HOW MUCH I LOVE HER - Berthold transforming and destroying everything :stressful - Hange and Moblit possibly die :stressful - Armin Eren etc panicking not knowing what to do :STRESSFUL - ENDING SONG AND HAVE TO WAIT ONE MORE WEEK TO KNOW WHAT GOING TO HAPPEN :STRESSFUL |
| Such an interesting episode! |

Dr4kon said: I'm just sitting here thinking the writing quality has been steadily dropping. The events appear to happen just to support certain outcomes. Reiner needs a sudden new ability to survive both this and previous episode. Bert needs a third transformation event for who knows what reason. I mean, why did Misaka's sneak attack fail? One frame, she is right behind Bert with him none the wiser, ready to strike. And in the time it takes her to actually finish the strike, Bert has the time to both notice and react. If you need the sneak attack to fail, at least give a decent reason. Now the reason is plot armor. I totally understand your Reiner complaint, I don't like it either, but the Bertholdt one is really pushing it, those are normally what happens in action series those are things that make fictional action more exciting than the real world action, if something as simple as a character countering an opponent attack from behind dampens your suspension of disbelief, then you might as well start complaining about the 3d gear that it is impossible for characters to fly around like that and many other things that you would expect in a anime or fiction. How didn't you complain about Levi being able to dodge all those bullets back in season 3 part 1 when Kenny squad was attacking him? Since we are going with logic here? Think about it this way, if the author wanted to he could have made Bertholdt notice Mikasa present and simple move out of the way, but to us the audience that wouldn't be cool or exciting, because we would be expecting Mikasa to attack now. Making Mikasa show up unexpectedly can make the audience surprise, excited etc, and just in the last second you thought she got him, he quickly counter her and from that scene the audience releases more emotion, maybe anger, surprise, excitement etc. The only purpose of that scene was to create a cool and exciting fight scene, that is all, just like in every other action series, Now if we were to follow real world logic, bertholdt head would be on the ground and he would die, wouldn't that be anticlimatic? @MegaMK That reason is totally apart of it, he is now showing everyone his true potential, but I don't think that is what @Dr4kon cares about, he is just saying that Bertholdt should have died because Mikasa did a sneak attack on him and to @Dr4kon there is no way a fictional character in a action series can counter a sneak attack from behind, because that is totally not normal in action series. You see the point I'm getting at? |

Now the reason is plot armor. generally this story is told from the perspective of the characters a lot of information is withheld. A LOT OF INFORMATION is withheld. for reiner its clearly hinted its a titan ability the reason being bertolt was aware of everyones position all along and knew mikasa would act in this manner, he even hinted armin was just buying time so the others could kill reiner which implies he knew the position of those, so he probably was aware of where everyone was anyway in order to react to any situation, he also knows mikasa and could've easily predicted that they would try that, and even if not, people make sounds when they move, mikasa used her 3DM one would ofc notice that |

I could think of a bunch of causes for those events. What makes it bad writing is that it feels contrived. The characters' choices are subordinate to the story the writer has in mind. You want some general secret revealed, OK. You want some special secret revealed? Foreshadow, hint, introduce. really? doesn't feel like that to me at all too bad i guess |

This time it was a whole complete transformation from air, hence the name of the episode, descent. >Since a shifter is someone that willfully creates a titan around him out of thin air, so it's now easy to think he is also able to kind of abandon his body if it's destroyed and use the Titans' nervous system and brain to sustain himself. (i.e. transfer his consciousness). It was foreshadowed when Mikasa tried to kill Bert during the reveal ep 2x6 >Bert is a warrior. Can't say much because spoilers but he was pretty much the third position among the 104th, higher than Annie. He was strong, he was just weak minded and timid; his current self is his character development with all he had to go through. He even hinted that armin was buying time, and surrounding him, so he was well aware of an ambush. |
| This episode finished in like 10 min, wtf! Marco's death was insane. I still remember it as one of the biggest "Holy shit." moments from the manga, and the adaptation didn't disappoint. Reiner is some BS, but the rest of the episode with Bertholdt was great. Lastly, the music for this episode was amazing. |

| Where is it I don't see it anywhere |
 My biggest regret: Reading all 200+ chapters of Kanojo, Okarishimasu |
| I'm just curious about when Hiroyuki's full tracks are getting released. |

| Another great episode as usual from AoT. That flashback was interesting, finally we know why Marco had to die, he heard too much. So they just want everyone to die without giving a specific reason, wonder what their plan is exactly. I hope Hange survived that blast, they probably should've known better than to engage the armored titan while Bertolt hasn't transformed yet. They are really in a pinch there, how do you defeat something that huge? Especially with only a few people left, even though one of them is Mikasa haha. |
| Damit Marco, you died again! |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| Oh it's about to get really bad now. |
 |
| Thought I clicked on the wrong episode for a second, been so long since marco’s death that I completely forgot he played a part with Bertholdt and Reiner |
| fantastic episode. For a second I thought I'm watching wrong episode lol |
| welll the raveal... this gets more and more thrilling |
 |
| Poor boy Marcon, man... And suddenly everything is up to Armin. Yikes, he's in a lot of pressure. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Some making me feel sad about Marco, damn it! |
 |
| I don't remember anything about Marco other than his death but I still felt bad when he got killed. Reiner has some serious plot armour in this episode. Bertholdt has some balls in this episode! |
 |
| I'm glad Reinhart didn't die :)) I just hope that Hanji doesn't die either (the crazy scientist). |
| I am not a weeb, I simply enjoy 2D girls |
| Why was Reiner so suprised when the Titan started eating Marco? |

| They finally showed what happened to Marco. Tbh fuck Reiner, fuck Annie and fuck Berthold. This was beyond cruel. What made it even more disturbing was the fact when Reiner began to cry because of his split personaltiy. And again Reiner survived. At some points you could mean he's the main character with a plot armor as big as the armor of his titan form. :D It looked to cool when the Beast Titan threw Berthold with that Barrel towards Reiner. Even if it wasn't a real conversation, Berthold definitely changed compared to the past. I mean Mikasa is super strong but even then he parried her so easy. What I really don't get, why has everyone to die? What is their goal to kidnap Eren? From the point of view of Eren and the others it sounds just crazy what Berthold and Reiner are doing. But I guess everything of this or at least a lot of these things will be answered hopefully. Was also interesting to see the conversation between Zeke, Berthold and Reiner. Bertholds transformation was of the chain. As if an atom bomb exploded holy crap. I have absolute no clue how Eren and the others want to stop Berthold. This seems beyond impossible. |

| Colossal has come. Next more fun. |
| Ofc those bastards were the cause of Marco's death. That makes it even worse since he didn't have a chance to fight for his life.

How is it nitpicking when it looks awful lol. People can enjoy the show and dislike the shitty, out of place CG Colossal Titan. You don't see people complaining about the CG horses since they're not the focus of the shots so it's not as noticeable as a huge titan would be. Also, there were a bunch a posts that didn't mention the CG. Instead of making a post complaining about people making posts complaining about the CG you could've made one talking about the plot like those other posts and contributed to the discussion. |

So nitpicking a consensus masterpiece well written like this one is the only thing left for haters. |

So nitpicking a consensus masterpiece well written like this one is the only thing left for haters. Your post was only made about 2 weeks ago, there have been a whopping 5 posts after yours. Before your post, there were 300 other posts and about 60 of them mentioned something bad regarding the CG titan (including ones where it wasn't even the main focus of their post). Half of those posts were people discussing or agruing with them back and forth about the CG. I'm pretty sure the people who dislike AoT had been shitting on it for other reasons long before the CG titan showed up in S2 and here in S3. Stating that it's just haters complaining about the CG and calling it nitpicking is silly. Hell, I'm sure the majority of the people who complain about the CG Titan enjoy the show which is why they're annoyed that they've made it CG rather than 2D, especially people who liked how the Colossal Titan was animated in S1 or manga readers. Like I mentioned earlier, it is a huge CG Titan in the middle of the screen of a 2D show. It's quite easy to be distracted by how it looks so complaints about it are reasonable, especially when it was originally 2D in the first season. There is nothing wrong with enjoying the show yet disliking how the CG Colossal titan looks. I am sure that the reason "haters" dislike the show is not based on the CG Titan lol. |

Ummkay, You want to change the narrative of my original post about nitpicking and make it about the cg pet peeve most of you guys have here? I mentioned cg as my target yet nitpicking was the motivation of my complaint. Well it doesn't matter now since this exchange is pointless. I'm surprised and amused that you would actually make a census of those who posted before me. Such dedication and time wasted over a post already irrelevant of "two weeks" ago lol. I concede to whatever you were trying to say.
