      bless those kinds of people, I remember one of mine being so charismatic, chill and peace loving person. We were together along with 4 people from 7th grade up to grade 10, It would've went on until I notice he started getting more and more family problems that he opens at me from time to time (at which it became gradually worrisome) and little do I know, he would suddenly cut contact with everyone he knows once he transferred schools after our grade 10 graduation.
      Til this day, I hope he would someday open up to me again and meet one another but until then I hope he manages to keep it cool.

    In one of the most recent episodes when they were rescued, Onyakopon asks Jean why he didn’t stay and enjoy a lavish lifestyle. Jean answered “If I did, those ashy bones would never forgive me”…
    What strikes me was how the last time Jean ever saw of Marco were his remains being cremated, some of which were presumably Marco’s being held in his hand, and to this day that still leaves such an enormous impact on him. Jean had the freedom to choose and stay behind, and he still had conflicts, but it was ultimately the potential Marco saw in him that motivated Jean to grow and live with purpose.
    You’d think that Marco died in vain, yet he ended up bringing the best out of Jean, and breaking Reiner to the point of suicide (yet he can still be redeemable)
    Such a great character.

      Marco would have been the King of talk no jutsu in AOT, and saved tons of bloodshed.
      "Eren, you are angry because you had to watch your mother get eaten in front of you. In turn, you have gone about trying to save everybody because you couldn't save her. But no matter what you do, you can't bring her back. It's okay, sometimes bad things happen to us. We don't have to live in fear that it will happen again, and go and kill everybody else in the world just to feel safe. In attempt to save everyone you care about, you end up pushing them all away by harming them... by letting this fear change you" - Marco, probably.
      Eren - "Oh shit, that makes sense." (Doesn't become a giant D towards Mikasa and Armin, and uses his Titan powers to broker peace while enjoying life and meaningful relationships)

    It's also worth mentioning how big of an impact Marco's death had on Jean's character. He's the whole reason Jean chose to join the survey corps or why he became a leader role. Often before he makes decisions he thinks of what Marco would think about it, like we saw last episode. And they often make references to Jean still missing him, like kissing the very hand he held Marco's ashes in before fighting the female titan (i think it was the episode 'female titan'?), i really liked that detail.

    Marco has been my biggest love, when I noticed his friendship with Jean I knew he was going to play a big role(didn’t think he’d die tho). So sad that he was a fallen soldier, he was so kind and level headed, very much like Armin. When his death happened in trost I really though it was just another unimportant titan kill that was bestowed to lots of other characters during the battle, but knowing how IMPORTANT it was, he was there by mere fate and unluckily enough to overhear. He didn’t deserve it and he definitely would’ve still been alive if it weren’t for the 3, he was one of the top ten cadets, he had the skills just like our favorites. I think about him every day

      I'm ready for this conversation. Zeke didn't just kill Scouts, he killed Connie's entire village and parts of other countries all for the purpose of making his own people celibate. Zeke has yet to show any remorse for killing not only his own people, but betraying people who trusted him as well. He also is not his own person. His dream is all he is and without it, Zeke is nothing.
      Annie has guilt. She listened to Armin and Hitch along with others chastise her and probably threaten her life. It is deserved mind you, but when she finally is out she is reminded of the evil she's done and look where it got her. Trapped in a crystal and now the only family she has is going to die with the rest of the world. Also, she is just as brainwashed as Gabi and the rest of them. People can forgive Annie because she was being groomed from birth by her dad to be a Warrior. Again, that does not excuse her actions. But she explains to Hitch she does feel bad for what she's done. She wants to change for the better. That coming from the girl that stomped on Scouts and tossed them around is a huge character moment but people can't see that because they have so much hate for a character they haven't even seen in four years. The whole point of the story is to look beyond your hate for someone to see who they really are.
      Annie is not a monster she BECAME a monster like Armin, Levi, Erwin, need I say more?

    He did not have a choice, Zeke literally threatened to have Reiner eaten if they refused to help him capture Eren, and it is implied that the threat was also pointed towards Bertholdt.
    If they returned without accomplishing the mission, they would be fed to the next shifters.
    And they had no idea that the people in Paradis were not devils or evil, they were literally brainwashed to not see Eldians in Paradis as human.
    Bertholdt was well aware of the futility of his own actions, so decided that there was no longer a reason to try and resist

    I couldn't agree more with this entire summary. Marco was an extremely underrated character by so many due to his death so early in the series. I made a lot of speculations myself, contemplating "What If" he had never met such an unfortunate death, he never had to in the first place.I think with his ability to keep such a level head in the face of adversity he could have very well been even a bigger character like another "Erwin Smith" that no one saw coming. All of these characters changed so much throughout the series. I seriously believe we could have very well seen a "Captain or Commander Boht".....What's say you?

    Man this video cuts deep, Marco was immediately the character who I gravitated towards when I first watched AoT, that background guy who still did his part and made a positive impact on the people around him. He was just a genuine guy like Falco and not many others, so when he died I was absolutely devastated, and still am to this day. Ended up making Erwin my next favourite and we all know how well that went..... But to have videos like this, and to have flashbacks to him this season, especially this latest episode really gives me closure and happiness to know that not only are people like Marco and Erwin not forgotten, but they are still relevant and their lives and deaths have such a real impact on the people and world around them. It's great. Their deaths had meaning. This latest episode has to be one of my favourites this season just for the respect that it has for current and past characters.

      Actually it would NOT matter because most political leaders and the public don't even recognize eldians as humans especially the ones on paradise island and lastly during the four years the scouts tried to find peace solutions but found nothing while the rumbling is pretty much the only trump card the eldians have considering their poor military and ancestral reputations

      I'm super late, but you're kinda wrong about the rumbling. The rumbling was always destined to happen, even when eren was a little kid. Moreover, eren legit said that he tried EVERYTHING to prevent the rumbling from happening. You're right about Marco being a leader, but the rumbling would make no difference on this scenario if this happened.

  • @fcasias7

    What's interesting is how how Marco's death is so strikingly similar to Marcel's, and this is part of why Rainer takes it so hard, as he was friends with both, and was largely responsible for both. In many ways both of their deaths shaped not only Rainer, Annie, and Bertholdt, but also the story at large.

    I LOVE THESE ANALYSES. You're so incisive and properly connect so many dots crucial to understanding the characters and the overall story. Marco's impact still resounds thoughout the whole story, and is still strong enough as to motivate Jean... he can even do that in death. Jean's leadership was born of Marco's honesty and friendship, his decision to join the SC even. Marco was key to modern Jean's portrayal.
    I also feel like Hanji had a role in this too... They too were faced with these doubts and made them seem normal to Jean, to a point where Hanji achieved convincing him of the need of an alliance, but most importantly to fight genocide.
    I really hope you do one of these about Hanji! Their character is so underrated, yet they rose up to the situation and formed the alliance, but I feel like they don't get any credit for this. And they've had such great character development, that I don't understand how they're not more valued. When they did their speech on how genocide is wrong and thought about all their fallen comrades, it was such a commander moment.
