I mean I get what you are trying to say but you are wrong in some things. I don't think Eren is doing this because of his trauma. He's doing this FOR his people. Picture this you're a small village and the cities around hate you and want to exterminate you. At first, you try to fix things peacefully but no matter what you do they still hate you. Would you just sit down and be like "Guess we are all dying now. What a pity" No. You would defend your village because it's your home. Your family and friends live there. Of course what eren what's to do is a mass genocide, but he is doing it because he wants to. He was out of options to defend his people. Even if it meant he would be resented by his friends and family.
Also, if you want you can check out AnimeUproar videos about the topic. He explains things way better than me (￣∇￣")
If you finished the anime start at chapter 73
If you finished the anime start at chapter 90 **whoops
Thank you!!!
man, you hit it there.
Some of this may not make any sense cuz I went from watching the anime to reading the last few chapters and skipping a chunk of it but I had to know cuz EREN IS NOW AN ADVOCATE OF FREAKING GENOCIDE!!! WTF!!!!!!
That moment when Eren becomes Hitler. I understand that trauma lead him to where he is now; he has always wanted to ERADICATE the titans and now he’s transferred that feeling of hatred towards anyone outside of the island because of the potential threat they pose. But since when has genocide ever fixed ANYTHING. It’s absolute bull!!! He’s always been a bloodthirsty little shit, what with him killing Mikasa’s parent’s killers (even though it was justified to some extent), that in itself shows how his first response to any level of threat was to murder. He claims to want freedom and then proceeds to impose on the human rights of others because he views them as threats.I understand he fears the retaliation of the others if they were to just let them be but he completely disregards the humanitarian principle of proportionality that prohibits excessive attacks that lead to major loss of CIVILIAN lives. In the first place, it was the original titans idea of ruling over others that led to their people being ostracised and now he chooses to follow in the same footsteps. Yh, I get it at this point he doesn’t seem to give a f*ck but it so annoying to see him preach on and on about humanity and their rights and then take a complete 180. The moment they realised how to pass on the titans powers they should’ve had Eren pass it on, he was passionate but he was also irrational and was easily emotionally compromised. It would’ve been a better use of his abilities to give them to someone who wasn’t riddled with ptsd but was still loyal. Someone with an ideology that calls for justice and doesn’t fight solely for the sake of avenging the the lack of freedom and loss of their family but is willing to fight to gain freedom not to kill others without restraint because they feared that everyone would turn on the island. Had he not taken the same approach as the first Titan perhaps their was a possibility of resolving the conflict with a lower degree of violence, that is to say I do understand that violence was necessary in times of war but Eren is being too excessive.
That is to say I’m still loving the plot, props to Isayama.
