Hange was against the previous government and she released the real news to the people. And for that fans praised her!

Floch does the same thing, he gives the real news to the people, because the current government doesn't do that, but apparently side character need to know his place?

Why this duality? Why do people watch AOT in such a tribal way?

P.s Floch = BOSS

I mean you did say it yourself.

Hange has (and had) a relevant position in the Survey Corps and Floch is just kinda there. It does seem like he doesn't really know his place. Anyway I encourage him for trying to show the truth to the people in order to make it a better place

Anyway I think people just don't like Floch as much because he isn't that enjoyable and Hange has been there for almost all of the series now. It makes sense that people like Floch less, and I know I surely do. I just find Floch really unlikeable and I can see how that can influence someone's point of view on things.

Anyway, we're just watching anime. It's not a big deal wether the way people treat certain characters is totally fair or not.

Same reason people got mad when Gabi killed an enemy soldier but praising everyone else for doing the same thing

Hange has a plan in mind and Paradis in heart. The old royal government only cared about oppressing their own people

Floch is more in the extremist side tho so I can get why he can’t be treated the same as Hange.

That's why she's so troubled and has flashbacks about the man she tortured, who wished her good luck in taking such responsibility.

As for people's reaction, Hange is with us from the beginning and more likeable as a character. Floch appeared seemingly out of nowhere and straight away assumes he's in the right to decide things. Maybe it makes sense from his point of view. But we don't know him and he's quite annoying, so...

Spoiler: she has none.

The only character who’s somewhat of a leader after Erwin’s death is Jean and even he has no clue what to do vs Marley and the rest of the world.


Eren and Floch are the only 2 characters whose convictions are unwavering and won’t back down no matter the costs of their decisions. Which if you can get past the moral dilemma, makes it easier to root for them.

Well, yeah. Same thing, different contexts, but I could understand both sides. I never saw anyone criticizing Floch for that scene specifically, so this thread is pretty surprising to me.

The anime makes all the characters more likeable IMO. Even tho I've been reading and re-reading the manga since 2013, the anime makes me feel more connected to the characters. I never really cared for characters like Pieck, Yelena, Onyankopon, Louise, etc. but the anime is doing a fantastic job bringing them to life. I did always like Floch and Gabi but the anime makes me like them more.

Ok. You win. The main point was that Hange had Paradis' best interests in her heart and she wanted to come up with a plan, as opposed to the old royal government that didn't give a shit. That's why people show more hostility toward Floch than to Hange. I actually don't blame Floch for what he did in this episode

At this point we could all agree on one thing, if Erwin was saved instead of Armin then Erwin would have known what to do because he's the baddest man on earth. He makes the other alpha males look like 13 years old teenagers.

Erwin always have a plan.

Yeah, it's really weird how this happens. Everyone hyped up Reiner before the season started airing, and I really just didn't get the hype, but when episode 3 dropped I was on the Reiner train. I also appreciated Pieck much more and when reading the manga I downright hated Porco but now I'm indifferent.

One thing I will say though is that I liked Gabi in the manga but watching the anime actually made me like her less

True whereas the anime made him really unlikeable in S3P2 even though his reactions were understandable. I’m really curious to see how anime onlys view Floch at the end of this season vs how they’ll view him once S4P2 adapts chapters 125, 128 and 132 aka peak Floch moments.

Edit: I forgot chapter 113 coming up, hopefully they adapt the Shadis scene..

I think you understood it just backwards, it’s the whole irony of the situation that Isayama is trying to portray. She even acknowledges the fact if you see her reactions throughout the episodes

Hange's plan was to try and find a peaceful solution to ensure Paradis's future. You see this through what they did to the Marley scout ships and the efforts to make diplomatic ties with Hizuru and beyond. Yes it ultimately failed when Eren took things into his own hands but the difference between her and Floch is that she has a more positive and optimistic view of the outside world where Floch just sees everybody else as enemies who deserves to die like he explains when they attack Libero.
If it was down to people like Floch they would have just started killing the Marley scouts and civilians from day 1.

Chapter 123 , there goes your peaceful plan! Hange is virtuous because she has no family or children or relatives to protect. He "virtuous" actions are understandable

I totally agree. It's the same as the Gabi / Eren parallel. We have been with Eren so long that we will side with him, so we support Hange too. Floch is a great character in my opinion and we're gonna see a lot more from him.

Personally, I think we should just enjoy the story as Isayama intended. Although, Gabi slader is always accepted.

What peaceful solutions? Eren tried to find one before going to Liberio on his own and realized that there were none.

It ultimately failed even before Eren took things in his own hands and went to Liberio since Marley was already preparing an attack on Paradis at the time and not looking to negotiate or discuss with Paradis’ forces. And why is Hange optimistic? We’ve seen that the outside world wants to see Paradis perish and that all the Azumabito clan wants is to exploit Paradis’ ressources. Not really a positive outlook on the outside world.

Floch might be an outspoken nationalist, and an extremist to some, but he’s also a realist who will make sure that the island survives no matter what costs and sees that Eren presents the only viable solution after years of evaluating what would and wouldn’t be possible. Whereas the OG Scouts are delusional pacifists with no concept of time or ability to sense the danger coming.

People can react in different ways and the threat of Marley attacking is also upon them and at that time being engaged in a war as well as controlling the crowd won't be a very easy thing.
Yea people deserve to know the truth, but not every moment is a right moment to drop a news like that on a people who are practically unaware of the threats and do not think rationally (the crows tends to follow the ones who show them hope even if that's false). Sometimes filtering some information from the crowd is essential and probably once everything was over or after the govt. thinking about the situation with a calm mind and then letting the common mass hope is a better idea. That's something I feel.

I'm usually defensive about all the characters being reasonable, and that wasn't different with Floch on S3P2, since he showed the objective flaws of the characters action about Erwin vs Armin decision. But I don't really agree with Floch's decision in this episode. Like Hange said, the situation has changed, and the consequences about revealing everything to the public are way different than it used to be. He also doesn't seem to be aiming for survival, but it does seems like he wants Eldia to oppress the rest of the world like in the past. If he does show up in the future that this isn't the case, then I will back him up.

The peaceful solution was the diplomacy and nuclear deterrent option to give them time to catch up technologically with the outside world, so the Zeke/Hizuru option. We will never know whether that would have worked. Willys declaration was baiting Eren/Paradis to attack them so if they didn't attack Libero would the other nations have joined together? would a small scale rumbling have spooked everybody enough to think 'nah fuck this' ? we will never know.
And yes hizuru were exploiting them but that's how many diplomatic relations work. Both can still benefit.

But my point was that Hange (and most of the others) wanted to exhaust the non war options before anything else. Sure she failed but not wanting to immediately nuke your neighbors doesn't make you delusional.

What did rumbling do ?


80 % of humanity died.

Its doomed future generation of paradis. ( Seriously , the world wouldn't forgive Paradis ) .


It did global set back ,

Mass Murderers Were Forgiven Too Easily .

The Rumbling Kills An Unknown Number Of People In Paradis, Even If Unintentionally .

It Potentially Wrecks The World's Ecosystems.

Innocent People Are Killed In A Horrific Manner .

Global Progress Is Completely Halted — And Set Back .

The Rumbling Basically Entrenches Bigotry Against Eldians.

None Of This Changes Paradis For The Better.



Eren’s Masterplan Wasn’t Well Thought Out :-
To free Edlians from generational suffering, Eren kills 80% of life beyond Eldia’s borders. He does so in such a way that only the Alliance can stop him, presenting the “Demons of Eldia” as heroes and scaring the world away from Eldia. In brief, this is a very dumb plan.
