Alright, one more "I hate Zeke" post for now, and then I'm done for a while, lol. I've just been thinking about this stuff a lot lately.

So, you know what really sickens me about the scene when Zeke turns Falco into a titan?

Zeke listens to Colt beg and plead with him to let him and Falco get out of range before he screams, but Zeke remains unmoved, professing to feel terrible about having to do what he’s about to, before screaming and turning Falco into a titan, killing Colt in the process.  But then, the thing is, he IMMEDIATELY proceeds to utilize Falco as a weapon against Reiner, sending him to attack him to buy himself more time.  I’m sorry, but someone who genuinely felt remorse or sadness at having just, essentially, murdered two children who posed absolutely no threat to him, and who hadn’t consented at all to being a part of his plan, doesn’t then turn around and use the body of one of those children to further his insane goal of genocide.  These are two kids who grew up around and admired Zeke, and thought of him as a role model, by the way.   And he doesn’t even hesitate, either to turn Falco into a titan and kill Colt, or to then use Falco for his own gain.  It’s the same way Zeke had no problem letting the other warrior candidates get crushed to death during Eren’s attack on Liberio.  Zeke leaves them there, knowing what’s about to happen.  He doesn’t try to warn them or get them out of harm's way.  He just abandons them to their fate.  And again, these are children he’s spent a significant amount of time with and who looked up to him and saw him as a role model.  I think what we see Zeke do in both of these cases perfectly encapsulates his sociopathic nature, and also just how hollow is his claim that he wants to save people from their suffering.  He really doesn’t feel anything for anyone.  He treats other human beings like they’re nothing more than tools, there to be used and manipulated however he wishes to further his agenda.  That’s sick, man. 

Now contrast that with what Levi does when they visit Marley, for example, and what happens with Ramzi.  Levi jeopardizes their cover, and thus, their mission, to save Ramzi’s life, a kid he doesn’t even know, and who just tried to rob them.  This demonstrates once again how Levi doesn’t value ideological beliefs or political goals, even admirable ones like peace negotiations, above individual lives, as I talked about in my post “For People, Not for a Dream”.

This scene absolutely broke me.

Still don’t know if I’ll ever finish/change this or if I’m content with where it’s at ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ugh, I know I said it before already, but watching Ramzi and his brother die in the Rumbling was fucking horrible.  I mean that in the best way.  The fact they didn’t shy away from showing Ramzi getting his head crushed underneath the foot of one of the Colossal Titans, with all the gruesome and vicious imagery from the manga, was gutsy as hell.  The fear of that moment, the breathtaking finality of it, the cruelty of it, the tragedy of it.  I kept thinking while watching it, Jesus, these poor kids, they must have been so scared before they died.  It’s just so horrible.  The fact that Ramzi was a character who we actually got to know fairly well made the impact so much bigger too.  When you see what happens to him and his brother here, and then you remember particularly his interaction with Levi, the fact that Levi rescued him from an angry mob and then just let him have his money purse after he stole it, you compare these two moments, and the starkness of contrast is incredibly effecting.  The moment with Levi is maybe one of the only times in his young life that Ramzi was treated with kindness by a stranger.  The other, ironically, being with Eren who rescued him from being beaten up.  And when we next see him, we see that his hand’s been cut off for stealing, and just minutes later, he’s dead, crushed underfoot BY Eren.  It’s just so cruel and so unfair.  It drives home so well just how monstrous it is, what Eren’s doing.  No one in their right mind could watch a scene like that and think Eren’s actions are meant to be taken as anything but evil.

*Eren takes Ramzi, Halil, and their grandfather to Paradis, then he takes them to Historia’s home*

Historia: It looks like we have some guests.

Eren: I know I have to do the Rumbling, but I don’t want to kill them. They are so kind and they deserve better than being trampled under the feet of the Colossal Titans, so I adopted them.

Hi. Did you watch the last AOT episode?

Hi! Yes I saw it. I think Mappa did a very good job as usual, and stayed true to the manga. 

I very much liked however that they expanded on Hange’s death, giving their sacrifice the time it deserved. In the manga it wasn’t clear, but in the episode they showed how many titans Hange took down, how it really made the difference. And they made it beautiful. Hange’s cape flapping in the wind, the “titans truly are magnificent” moment with Hange weightlessly floating in the air, the effort, the power and the resolve expressed in their fight, Romi Park’s voice acting, the violin music. 

Then for the very last seconds the view switches to first-person, and you get to see what Hange last saw, its end, and it hits hard. I guess you don’t have that very often with a character dying, where you usually experience A’s death from B’s perspective. 

It’s the first time I notice how what Ramzi said to Halil somewhat mirrors Eren’s line of reasoning: he steals to ‘protect his families’, ‘because someone has to do it’, ‘to get out of these ‘tents’. He even lost his hand in the process. This part is also in the manga, and I don’t know whether this is intentional on Isayama’s part, and in that case what this could mean.

The rumbling was terrifying enough, but I’m surprised Mappa left out the cliff scene of chapter 134. It was one of the most horrifying images of the rumbling, and one that upset me most while reading the manga. Anyway, I think the episode conveyed the cruelty and blindness of the rumbling crushing foot quite well. I don’t follow the fandom discourse anymore, but I hope it won’t leave any doubt in anime watchers about how wrong Eren’s actions are.
