Annie gives me similar vibes to Levi. Both appear to be apathic and kinda dead inside. Both are raised with violence programed into them and it becomes their first reaction to solve problems. Both have some sort of father-child relationships going on that impact their personalities greatly. Both are capable persons who carry whatever missions assigned to them and will not forget or give up on their end goals.
But Levi has Erwin Smith as his commander while Annie is stuck with Reiner and his shitty leadership
Never thought of it like this thanks for the excellent comment
Yeap, that's why Levi says in the Forest: "You killed my comrades in every way possible... so, did you have fun? But I'm having fun now. We're very similar, you know, if there's anyone who understands me, it's you"
Nice analysis 👏👏. It's just the reiner part that stings 😭🤣
yup, i think one of the keywords here is appear to be apathetic. they both are actually very emotional in tune with other people. as seen in the finale with annie trying to emotionally support mikasa, or levi trying to help his comrades and caring for their deaths
To me, the cold and lone wolf personality of Annie is just like her crystal: a form to protect herself from the blows of life. Annie is actually very kind, like Armin said, and not only that. I think she's pragmatic cause life push her to be in that way. When her emotions escape of that built armor, Annie goes into crisis. I genuinly think that Annie fell in love with Armin without realizing it, that's why she spared his life. And when she realizes that the Reiner's plan failed not only cause it was terrible but also for her feelings towards Armin, and that causes that she will never return with her father, she had a mental breakdown and break the character she created: she laughs to not crying.
To me, Annie is what someone who wants to have zero emotion, and fails miserably.
In the Survey Corps, she purposely makes herself hard to approach and distant, so that no one would like her. However, she couldn’t properly disassociate, as we saw with Marco.
You can tell that she’s still someone who wants to be kind when she can. She saves Connie, cried for Marco, spared Armin in S1. In S4, she tries to fix her bond with Hitch, and when she asks Mikasa about Eren, she does defend herself, but makes it clear that she wants to end the conflict as quickly and peacefully as possible, with few casualties.
There’s a lot more to Annie, but she’s definitely a really nice character to follow
She saved Jean too and she didn't have to do it. When she was boarding over the titan that was going directly to eat him up! Everyone says "she says she would do it again" yeah, she might. But, she was conflicted and cared a lot about the people she was supposed to kill. Marco (she cried) when she saw all the corpses (she said she was sorry with a destroyed expression), she saved Jean from.getting eaten, saved Armin, cried when she couldn't take Eren back because it would mean more carnage and the possibility of loosing he dysfunctional father figure which was the only thing she had.
They give this woman so much hate for being "ruthless" yet they praise Mikasa for killing her former companions in the most sadistic way in the last season. The fandom is cancer.
7:32 Reiner: “we can’t go back after 5 years without the Founder”
Reiner, a year later: *goes back to Marley without Annie, Bertolt, or Marcel, leaking key intel to the enemy*
Marley: “you’re promoted to vice chief!”
That's not really what happened. He actually showed up and Marley decided that he may need to just die and give his titan to a different Warrior. Luckily, they were immediately pushed into war and Reiner got to prove himself.
@@jordanpatterson8536 oh ok, personally I don’t remember that. But it goes to show that Reiner is like a cat-guy’s got nine lives!
@@VampyricNinjaXDLOL Yeah, cause it's from the manga. When Falco looks at Reiner back at Liberio's train station, he goes over how he's become Vice Chief/Captain.
🤣😂
I mean, they didn't have that much choice after all the other warriors were Lost😂
I love the way her relationship with her father is written. He abused her for her whole life, and offered only an apology, given at the eleventh hour. There's an intimate horror to this relationship; She's been shaped into a soldier by him, but she still loves him deeply. Not only because he's all she has and that abuse is all she's ever known, but also because she's *smart* and has probably come to understand their situation in some way. She understands the oppression that the Marleyan state is inflicting upon them. At least, as much as a 12-year-old is capable of understanding.
To me, her character is about the profoundly-human need for connection with others, even in the most brutal of circumstances. It's also, in some ways, about the agency of violence. I wonder if her relationship with her father would have been as it was if she never became able to best him in a fight.
An important moment for Annie's characterization that we see briefly is when the warrior candidates are young kids. Annie is seen deliberately stomping on a butterfly, which under normal conditions for children who go out of their way to harm or kill small animals, is a sign of sociopathy and psychopathy.
But in the case of Annie, she's actually forcing herself to prepare mentally to see humans as bugs to be squashed underfoot.
It's horrifically tragic when you think about it that a child would have to think this way, but she's extremely pragmatic and numbing herself for a short, violent life of utter brutality and death that she has to unleash upon her future enemies at the command of her Marleyan masters.
Although she's never fully indoctrinated by Marleyan propaganda, this violent mental conditioning does take a toll since Annie has deep regrets upon seeing the mangled bodies of her Eldian comrades in the cadet corps following the Titan attack.
TBH, I always assumed Annie WAS a psychopath, as it very much seemed that's what the show was hinting at. One of my most vivid memories of her assault on the Survey Corps expedition was her spinning a soldier in the air like a yo-yo. That sure seems to hint she's enjoying the carnage. Secondly, when she was revealed there's the famous scene of her breaking into hysterical laughter. Granted, there can be MANY explanations for this, but at first viewing... let's be honest you're thinking she's a nutcase. And then lastly, the scene you brought up yourself. When I saw the crushed insect I literally said to myself "Ah! There's her early mental illness coming through."
To me, either Annie's character was rewritten at the end to make her more sympathetic in retrospect, or Isayama INTENTIONALLY made you assume she's a psycho/sociopath as a misdirection. Either way, it's pretty brilliant.
@@thehackingburger3002 I always thought those were moments of, for lack of a better word, frustrated hysteria. Like by the time that yo-yo scene rolled around, she was already dealing with so much pent-up stress and trauma from everything that happened, she may have been like "Okay, you want me to be the big bad monster? Fine!" Goes to show that even someone as stoic as Annie has their limits.
@@thehackingburger3002 I think it was a bit of a misdirection on Isayama's part. We're led to believe she's a homicidal psycho even back then but she's actually an extremely broken child soldier forced to inflict violence in the name of both her adoptive father and her country. If she was a true psychopath, she wouldn't have expressed regret or empathy for her fallen comrades, nor would she try so very hard to get back to her (once) abusive foster father.
@@cassie6146 Her spinning the Scout around on his wire like a yo-yo was a momentary emotional break for her (playing her part as the intimidating monster) much like her laughing at Armin. Annie tried so hard to hide her true self for so long that it seemed she was relieved that Armin saw her for who she really was and that he saw something still human inside of her instead of just a weapon to be aimed (by Marleyans) or a monster to be feared (by Eldians of Paradis at large).
@@arcturionblade1077 Annie said she'll do it all over again for her father. Your point is?
12:42 fun fact to the fandom: contrary to the anime depiction, Eren had no hesitation to fight Annie in the manga, but never bested her in direct combat (no “berserk” mode). As Annie defeated Eren and began scaling Wall Sina, Mikasa was also only able to catch up to her because Eren threw Mikasa at Annie. This was an interesting moment because **SPOILER BELOW**
It parallels a future scene where Annie hurls Mikasa at the okapi titan in order to save Armin, who was in the titans mouth
It's so frustrating to see so many people restricting Annie's character to "the cold-blooded psychopath that savagely killed hundreds of scouts" because that doesn't even scratch the surface of how complex she really is. If Marco's death scene and the Lost Girls OVA proved anything, it's that in no way does she enjoy murder and 100% does NOT want to be doing the things she's being forced to do. She tried stopping the mission multiple times, and ever since season 1, her mindset has been "I want to get things over with so I can return to my father" who, by the way, has been nothing but cruel to her until too late, yet she still craves fatherly love--proving that despite her seemingly cold demeanor, she's not heartless at all. What's also aggravating is that she gets more hate than Reiner and Bertholdt, despite the two of them having committed far worse crimes than she has (I think the hate is rooted in misogyny + how she doesn't sugarcoat things + people's tendency to bring her down to lift up Mikasa, but that's a whole other conversation lol).
thx for coming to my TED talk. stan annie.
Everyone see annie as a cold hearted emotionless, ruthless monster
But if you realize that she was trained to be ruthless by his father went through things which can make anyone loose his sanity so she always tries to be clam and focused (well eren also became the same as her in season4) which makes me feel pity for her
People try to label everything in AOT as one thing, but the show makes it very clear there is no such thing as labels.
They also think that bc they forget all the amount of emotional scenes she has
How many Bertholdt's meme names have the internet used for this last few years? 27? I've lost count.

It’s been said before, but I want to reiterate that, despite everything they have been through, Annie and Reiner warm up to each other. I’m disappointed in the anime omission of the scene where she caresses Reiner’s head after Jean pulverizes him
you've no idea how pleased i was to see more backstory for annie, she is such a fascinating character, as is any that isn't very talkative, when your not spoon fed how they are thinking / what about it is so much more interesting to find out their backstory and what made them like they are
I think you're spot on with Annie. She's my favorite character, and this video does her justice. I do; however, think Bertholdt is still rather misunderstood. I think, of the three of them, Bertholdt was the most "human." He was a prime soldier with exceptional skill, but he found himself latching onto his comrades as if they were family, which was a strength of his, but when he trusted the counsel of Zeke and Reiner too much, it got him killed. I think, if Reiner and Zeke hadn't have encouraged him to submerge his emotions and convince him that the Paradise soldiers were bluffing about Annie, then Bertholdt would have probably tried negotiating with Armin once Armin approached him. Bertholdt was sharp/intelligent, which was under-appreciated.
Status didn't mean much to Bertholdt as shown by him being the only one to help Reiner during their training in Marley. We don't know too much about his backstory/family, but we can speculate some things. The Hoover bloodline ended after his father passed away in the final season, which was a "blink and you miss it" moment. We could assume that Bertholdt became attached to Reiner and Annie due to his perishing bloodline, so he needed to establish a new one, which is why he tried to mediate the two. We know he had strong ties to his original family, because in the Manga he cried when leaving Marley.
I think you can tell a lot about someone based on their interests, and Annie was an interest in Bertholdt's eyes. I believe that Bertholdt saw an impossible future with Annie and felt hopeless to his circumstances, due to his family dying. The instability of his life probably caused him to empathize with Annie's emotions. I'd guess this is why he never made executive decisions, because he didn't want to be responsible for their deaths, and he didn't want to lose Annie/Reiner. Ironically, his follower-mentality was the only sense of control he'd felt.
After a while, the soldiers of Paradise became a part of the family he was losing. He lost his biological family, and his family from Paradise due to the Marlian war. The only option he had was to numb his emotions and project a demeaner likened to Annie's, which is fueled by apathy and obedience. Remember, Bertholdt and Annie cried when they left Marco to that titan.
As I said, I believe Bertholdt is deeply misunderstood.
i think bertholdt is one of those who has talent, which is why he got the colossal titan, but he also _really_ doesn't want to be in that position, which is why he generally shows no initiative.
I agree. My favourite characters in this story are a bit of a strange mix. They are Armin, Annie and Bertholdt. All of them, including contrary to common belief for the latter two, were sensitive people who thought deeply.
Bertholdt's bonds with the friends he formed was too strong, so his coping mechanism was detachment through self-sacrifice of his agency. He let Reiner take over executive command, despite Bertholdt's superior talent at pretty much everything (as has been told to us in the story by other characters, as well as shown in action sequences), such that he wouldn't have to take as much guilt. Reiner absorbed that guilt willingly as it was part of his own coping mechanism for getting Marcel killed, but it broke him also, splitting his mind into Soldier Reiner and Warrior Reiner, a walking contradiction that hurt himself and everyone around him.
Annie knew she liked giving and receiving kindness, so acting pragmatically she adopted a cold exterior to minimise connections that could lead to the kindness that would be her Achilles Heel. She failed, especially in regards to Armin, which is why her cover was blown and her main goal (returning to her father) was put in jeopardy.
Armin is similar to Berthold and Annie in that he's a kind soul. The biggest difference, ironically, was pre-timeskip Armin's psychopathic behaviour when under stress, in which he was completely able to disregard his humanity and become a monster to achieve his goals. That was something that Bertholdt and Annie could not do, which is why they were both defeated. If Bertholdt hadn't cared about Reiner or wasted time talking to Armin in Shinganshina, he would have nuked way earlier and killed Armin, Mikasa, Jean, Connie, Sasha and Hange. If Annie hadn't spared Armin, her cover wouldn't have been blown. But Armin didn't pull any punches in Stohess and got Annie captured, and got under Bertholdt's skin with false threats of torturing Annie that got Eren back from Reiner and Bertholdt.
What was interesting is that this "all or nothing" Armin disappeared after the timeskip, in which he became a lot more like Annie and Bertholdt. Without the idealism that he was "fighting for humanity" now that the enemy was other others, a fact Annie and Bertholdt always had to face, Armin's resolve could never reach what it was before the timeskip. This made him a lot more sympathetic to the other two, which we see frequently in his monologues in Season 4 ("is this the sight you saw, Bertholdt?", "we killed countless, but we had no choice, just like you were back then, Annie".
While not vital to understanding her character, the Lost Girls OVAs are amazing at getting a deeper dive into Annie. I strongly recommend watching them if you haven’t yet.
also read the manga or LN we were cheated out of a great moment that implied a sort of sisterhood between mikasa and annie it explains why mikasa got so angry finding out annie was the one and why annie really didn't want to fight mikasa beyond mikasa is powerful
also helps mikasa consoling annie on the ship make more sense
Annie, much like sadly a lot of aspects to this show, being gravely misunderstood and under appreciated 😔🤚
Speaking of, Ymir video pretty pwease? Por favor?
Unfortunately, many fans have decided that Annie is the ultimate evil, even more so than Zeke, Reiner (perceived), or anyone else from Marley, much less anyone from Paradis (Eren, Kenny, anyone in the military or gov't etc.).
I'm seeing people saying that she so enjoyed killing people (and animals and insects) that she smiled at, laughed at and mocked all of her victims. Something tells me nothing will change their minds on this.
I know right? I dislike their shallow take.
Ikr
@@vincikeeper1581me too!❤ Annie Leonhart
@@JRF-dg9km iconic
Annie my best character in AOT
A little observation: it's more consensus the corpse Annie is apologizing is Mina Carolina, she lost part of her face with the kawaii titan, and also Annie was seen sitting next to her in episode 4, and ALSO Annie's hairstyle when follows Kenny is totally like Mina Carolina's. So there's a good chance they were friends.
Finally. Definitely think she's a sympathetic character and most would agree. Unfortunately there's a section of the fandom that defines every character along very strict one dimensional lines, media literacy is sorely lacking in the anime community.
I love Annie,she needed more screen time,imho
The warriors couldn't betray Marley cuz paradise was a lost cause, even the warriors weren't psychotic enough to think of what Eren is doing
And if they betrayed Marley their families would have gotten killed so yeah, not much of a choice
Fun fact: In Mr. Leonhart's first appearance, he had blonde hair. This exact scene would come up again during the Lost Girls OVAs, but he has brown hair. Possibly Isayama intended on Annie to have actual parents instead of being adopted, but I don't think it would change much
Also 5:52 is wrong. In the manga, Annie did carry the others to the wall, and even used her scream to attract the titans. Unfortunately they cut that out so people think she was knocked out
Regarding 5:52: that's precisely what he's saying, but with a bit more detail. Annie didn't quite make it all the way to the wall (close enough that they could see it, but then she passed out) so Reiner had to go the final bit. Precisely how long he actually had to run is hard to say from the panels shown, but when they did reach the walls it was Reiner carrying them, not Annie.
@@simonO712 Ah okay. I still hate that they didn't at least show some still shots of it, because so many people were confused by that scene
@@Agent_3141 Yeah, same here. You can still deduce that something like that might have happened if you remember Armin theorizing about it back in Season 1, but it still would have been nice to actually see it. It's the kind of thing I wish they added in the Blu Ray release, were they wouldn't be as restricted by episode length.
Originally Annie was the only character i cared about on this show. So much so that i was blind to the clues, right until the gut punch on the stairs when she says "no" and looks down at them in an odd way. I was cheering for her to escape Stohess and really wanted to know her story as soon as I heard her fathers line "the world, they will hate you, they will wont understand you." I felt so sorry for her. When she sealed herself away, this time on the outside i was infuriated that she wasnt let out until season 4. Half way though season 4. From season 2 all the way to season 4 "thaw" i desperately wanted to see Annie free again. The flash backs of her in marley gave me a sinking feeling she had it worse than Reiner and Cowardly pos Hoover. F that guy. You love annie? How could you stand still watching Reiner choke her? If thats me? Reiner gets a collosal punting and thats how he breaks the walls. Yeet! As i wait for s4 part 3 my ONLY COMPLAINT WITH THIS SHOW IS HOW LITTLE ANNIE IS IN IT.
Man, it's really nice to be so deep in the story that you miss the clues which makes you more surprised. I had the same with Eren. I believed so much that the world is about humans vs titans that I didn't think about an idea that humans can turn into titans and the moment when I realized the truth about Eren's titan was when he came out of it in episode 8.
But I don't agree with Bertholdt. We don't know if he loved Annie when they were approaching walls. He might started to love her much later in the story. But even if he loved her at that moment, he couldn't just turn colossal and fight Reiner. They were probably thaught to not loose a titan power at any circumstances, so he couldn't just attack Reiner. Also Reiner is his friend and Bertholdt told them to stop with tears in his eyes and the situation was bad after loosing Marcel.
@@ErenRaven no excuses. If you can talk you can act. His titan is stronger and at 6 foot he has more than enough size to pull Reiner off Annie. He stood there and froze in trost as well. Hes just a coward right to the end. Ironic he ends up screaming for somebody he never stepped in to help.
@@cyber151also the time when reiner was manipulating Annie to take off Marco's odm gear that turtle was standing looking at the titan coming towards them. Reiner and burrito both saw Annie couldn't kill Marco. If Bert was so called in love with her why didn't he do anything.
Btw I have the same case as you. I also watched aot just for my Annie ❤ and she's my favourite character.
Armin calls Annie a good person and remains silent about Marko's ODM for a whole month, which as a result leads to the tragedy of the 57th expedition, but half of the fandom has forgotten this and believes that it is Bert who controls his feelings. Armin stole his girlfriend. 🤦
@@JRF-dg9km it was Bert's empathy that Armin borrowed.
The guy who left Annie in the dark. Calling her a heartless monster. Then mocked and smiled convincingly at the concept of her screaming in torture. After Annie's reveal he dehumanized her. Bert's borrowed perspective rehumanized her.
Armin left her behind in life. He saw her as a "Heartless monster" "traitorous creature"
Bert dragged him down those steps. No Bert's empathy and memories, no visit.
This may just be my opoion or reading of things but I still think it be cool to share
One thing that I noticed in S4 is that after Annie is released and reunited with everyone else when it comes to the topic of Eren with Mikasa she is the only one who will outright say "Could you kill Eren?" or "Would you be able to Kill Eren?" and even though other characters have brought it up its Annie who will primarily focus it when it comes directly to Mikasa mulitple times and I think its because Annie knows the situation Mikasa is in because she's been through almost the exact one.
So we all know that Annie likes Armin even in S1 and it was her failure to kill the man she loved the ended up costing her mission. And Annie knows that is Mikasa is unable to kill the man she loves like how she did the consequences will be a thousand times worse.
And in the final episode, everyone sympathizes with Mikasa, saying that they are very sorry to kill Eren. What is Annie doing? She knows that consolation is useless and distracts her with thoughts of saving Armin.
I think the problem with Annie character is you meet it her season 1 and she disappear form the story by season 2, with only know little on her. We again see her only at second part of season 4 and getting her story, by then we totally forget about her, which cause "The Biggest Misconception". I didn't like the decision ditch her for so long, without revel her story or motive, while I can understand why the writer didn't choose then to reveal her story, still I think the writer needed to think on other way to keep Annie alive. Great Video
Well she's literally trapped in cunbreakable crystal for four years so what can they do about it other than the flashbacks until she gets free by Eren's Founding Titan Powers?
@@ronaldzamora8850 maybe, I don't know, don't not trap at this crystal? Figure something how she escape form this crystal, just keep away form the story and hinder her character.
Tbh it isn't even like that, Annie keeps having big importance and appearing in flashbacks that makes us learn more about her in season 2 and same in season 3 part 2, and even if she wasn't like that in part 1 that's why we got her OVAs, two canon special episodes completely dedicated to her, there you get to understand her more, to know how she is and more about her past, they have always made her be present in the story even if she couldn't be as much as others (for example, Annie has been in almost as many episodes than Bertholdt and Historia, who were there all the time for three and four seasons, she has been only in 7 episodes less than Erwin and she has been in way more many episodes than Ymir). Having her present in season 4 part 1 to make her be out of the crystal in part 2 in the only situation that could happen in a coherent way it's fine, yes, it's not being as much as other or in the same way but it's okay for the particular situation her character is in and it's just not as if she would have been just in season 1 and barely ever heard of her again till s4p2 having just like 15 episodes before come back or something, the story didn't that with her.
@@jrlombardi5251 First, you can show all Annie flashback and other kinds of appearance while she outside the crystal
Second, there 2 ova which expand Annie character, great but why you need this two ova? right due the fact you "Killed" Annie...
Third, well I eventually acknowledge Isayama couldn't do otherwise.
@@Alonkis251 first, why would you need flashbacks when she's literally there? Those are just two different ways to have the character present, you don't need one if you have the other and both do the same in the story.
Second, having OVAs to learn more about a character isn't something they needed and only did bc they "killed" her, they did the same with Levi and Mikasa even when they were always there, it's just a way to show more about the characters, not a last choice resource bc you can't show the character in the show (thing they were doing with what I already explained).
She's my favorite character after Eren, gosh she's a gorgeous woman.
I’m not early cuz work training but I’ll get to watch soon! Thanks again for the video!
Great video btw!
I think the reason I find all of the Warriors relatable... even Zeke... to an extent... is knowing that I could make just as awful choices given the right circumstances. No one REALLY wants to do awful things and they'll find any excuse to hide from their shame which is what "I was just doing my job" or the othering effect of propaganda are for. Breaking down anyone's morals isn't impossible, because as rational creatures, we can be reasoned with... which is the greatest double edge sword in existence. This show does a great job of showing that very real, very human element to these characters.
zeke thought he saved people from "the cruelty of the world" by killing them....
im hoping you dont relate to that.
rest i agree
Thanks for the video.
Beautifully explained man 😭😭👏👏👏
I want to know abt Annie so Im super excited about this!
Saammee
She's a very good character, glad you're watching the video.
...You know what your doing sea, you know i could'nt resist
For some reason, many people think that Annie's crystal is equivalent to a resort on the beach. That while the other characters were fighting, she was resting, forgetting that this is essentially a grave from which you can't get out on your own, see something, or even lift a finger. And inside you are thoughts, ideas, and not rosy ones. They eat you, they eat your brain, your mind, leaving no chance for anything. I'm not saying it's better on the battlefield, but it's stupid to devalue her prison.
How are you sea tactics!
Doing well, how are you?
@@SeaTactics great man thanks
That's my girl
Goddamn Eldians!
Honestly it was pretty wild they still wanted to be friends with Reiner and Annie after the shit they pull
Can't agree more ❤
During the rumble, we see Annie's old house, with soft whipping dummies. After all, if Mr. Leonhart repented that he had forced her to do what she did not want all her life, why did he not remove them? Was he planning to train her again?
At least you explain a bit to those who have a misconception about her through small details
We all know where the hate mainly comes from......
The yeagerists no, surprise there.
Yep, the Yaegerists are some annoying folk.
They can whine all they want but everyone else can laugh knowing that their favourite characters died in the end and failed at their goal
@@TheAeroAvatar Riiiiiiight because who WOULDN'T find it hard to believe that the Yeagerists would react to hating Annie because well y'know she killed tons of their comrades in the Scouts indiscriminately and got no repercussions from it whatsoever.
@@JarenLemon inaccurate. She was stuck on the island for 9 years longer than she had intended. 5 of those years caused by poor leadership/playing soldier, and the other 4 of those years spent encased in a crystal fully conscious but unable to move, let alone open her eyes. She also had to find out about Bertolt dying and that Paradis and Marleyan volunteers were now cooperating to take down Marley. The second point would probably frustrate anyone beyond belief especially when they have been extremely careful to keep their secrets. If that’s not torture I don’t know what is
@@SeaTactics first of all the yaegerists are the only ones making sense, they are trying to defend themselves against the outside world who are shown to not be interested in any negotiations with Eldia. What is Hange's plan again or the alliance?
Ppl really praise Eren and Gabi for writing ,but Annie,Mikasa,Levi pretty much liked for being stoic badass ,but these the characters the writer put effort into especially final arcs that these same fans skip then they say they aren't writeen well which is laughable like ofc u skip chapters lol, pretty much some said they skip anything past 123 or 130-132, weeb fans are the worst when they bandwagon stuff and don't read, and it is common ppl misunderstood them or say they are bad characters especially Annie and Mikasa writing because the fans usually don't read a lot of books and aren't frequent in media dont have experience in writing or literature, the takes they have is very not accurate and not objective, how come characters that are motivated , had backstory,developed and reason for their actions considered bad writing, what in the world is this bias? U not likinh the route they take=/= badly written lmaoo
To be honest this awesome video plus in the book she turned into a new leaf.
"much like Reiner and Turtle"
I died. this is a new level :))))))))))))))))))))))))
Jadi lah seorang yang pemaaf dan saling memaafkan...jangan mengungkit kisah silam dan keburukan orang lain...meski ianya cuma sekadar karakter...aku hormat dan sangat faham karakternya Annie🤓
Ok hear me out Reiner and Annie are siblings or twins because they both have similar features and kinda look like Reiner's mother.
The backstory if Annie does say she was born to an ELDIAN mother and MARLEYAN father.
My thought is Reiner's mother had to decide between Reiner and Annie and chose to keep Reiner because she could only provide for one in the zone.
It was other way around, Annie's mother was a Marleyan and the father was an Eldian, very opposite on Reiner which his mother was an Eldian while the father was a Marleyan.
Reiner “Good Warriors follow orders” Braun
"Levi and Mikasa team up to take out the Female Titan" NGL Mikasa helped Annie more than Levi in that fight😂😂

Annie was too good for Marley and I think if she sided with Paradis island she would've reached her goal
I highly doubt it Eren's plan is total ass
@@TheAeroAvatar you should have read the manga.
@@TheAeroAvatar then you would know Paradis got bodied by either the outside world or a civil war broke out. Meaning that Eren and the alliance plan was total ass in the end.
@@TheAeroAvatar then excuse my rudeness comrade, I feel your pain too. Saintitchief and Odin's videos put logic and a better understanding of aot then anyone I've ever seen. I would recommend them.
@@Nicejokeright lol no the main thing is Eren ensuring the current paradise
The point of Aot is that it's a tragedy human vice and of how things such as racism, extreme nationalism, historical relativism,cycles of hatred, historical enslavement, propaganda can lead to horrible situations for everyone and create innocent victims,s
howing that neither are correct in trying to do a genocide,
If isayama had ended it in Erens justifed in genocide without criticism that would be showing that genocide is justified , point is to make you hate the genocide and then it was a tragic thing that should have never come to be to that point
In Attack on Titan, the true villain is the Marley Government.
Bertholdt is the best character among these 3
I dunno, i feel rougly 0 sympathy towards Annie. At least Reiner had an excuse and was a mentally broken by the things he's done, meanwhile, Annie is like: And i would fucking do it again
She's saying it because she has no choice not because that she wanted it, the same way as Eren did with the rumbling but way worse.
They're doing a live action Attack on Titan that's coming out in 2025 and it's finally being made in the United States with actors that look like the characters in the show!!! They said they're gonna remain completely faithful to the source material! I'm wicked excited! The director and the two writers that are working on the film are huge fans too that have been shopping it around hollywood for like 5 years!
Edit: Actually, the studio is having them make some concessions, but it looks like it's just a few things that won't impact the story AT ALL.
Edit: Ok. They're making Mikasa's character transgender. But, she's gonna be exactly the same and she's gonna be played by a female actor and they're never mentioning her being assigned male at birth at all during the film so you'd never know except that in the first part of the movie her younger self is played by a boy so you just have to kinda figure it out.
Edit: Apparently Armin is gonna be a girl now which is kinda weird but it really doesn't affect the way the story plays out anyway except that he still falls in love with Annie's character, but they're fixing that by replacing Annie with Onyankopon's character. So instead of him being part of the later volunteer corps from the other countries, he's now an Eldian in the Warrior program and still plays as the female titan. It's kinda confusing but they had to do that to make their later romance work because they made Armin into a female character from Onyankopon's country.
Edit: I almost forgot to mention this part which is really silly because it's such a big change, but they made Mikasa the main character kind of because they made Eren a titan shifter form Onyankopon's country and they decided that you don't need to be an Eldian to be a titan shifter because it would honestly limit that ability for people of color to become titan shifters which I fully support. It wasn't really fair, and was honestly kind of racist, to make it so that only Eldians could be titans. So, Eren comes in later on but he makes a huge entrance by coming out of nowhere basically alegedly to start the rubling when you meet him. That's all I know though.
There's some changes but I honestly think a lot of them were necessary because of the lack of diversity present in the show. So I'm still really excited. I haven't read the comic books or the show that the comics are based on yet but I know some people that absolutely love them so based on their enthusiasm alone I'd say I'm thrilled to see it when it comes out.
I mean, I probably won't even see the movie, but I'll make sure to demand all the changes they're making with my twitter account to make sure they follow through on their promises. Wow. So excited.
Pls be joking =_=
Im sorry but the way she took pleasure in killing the scouts in season 1 even goin as far to subject one the scouts to god knows how much Gforce she subject the one scout she was twirling hell you can even see her smiling in her titan form while she’s killing the scouts in season one I’m sorry but she takes way too much enjoyment in killing comrades for her to be redeemable I mean even Reiner and Bertolf never really seemed like they were enjoying it and he’s the only one I’ve ever seen actually seemed like they were enjoying the killing that she was doing
If you rewatch the scene you’ll see that she didn’t smile. Her eyes were covered and her mouth was slightly open, but not smiling
I think she smiles on getting close to capture Eren.
@@thehermitman822 Even Survey corps already made the same atrocities or way worse than Annie back in Liberio in Season 4 part 1 and recently Eren in Season 4 part 2 with rumbling where even his fellow Eldians or those who have nothing to do with the conflict will never be spared, something that you missed as well.
@@thehermitman822 She later already said that she didn't plus did you even watched or listen to the whole video?
@@thehermitman822 it’s crazy to me that you can forgive Gabi as a character, someone who clearly enjoys killing for brownie points, yet can’t condone Annie, who did it out of necessity. There were only two times Annie smiled in titan form: 1) when she had to fake crushing Reiner and 2) when she caught up to Eren in the forest of giant trees. The first instance is self explanatory but in the second instance, it was because going back to Marley was actually palpable. She cried when she lost Eren because she lost her ticket home and had to keep up appearances as an MP, which she only went through with because of Reiner’s goading.
One of the best female character
Wayy better than Renier
How is she is sympathetic character? she is responsible for the death of 1/3 of Paradis population as she lured pure titans to feed upon civilians of shiganshina,
After her titan is revealed she sadistically murders scouts by stomping them, crushing them etc, just because she wants to be with her abusive dad who used her as a tool for gaining status as a honorary marleyan.
She said she would do it again to meet her father
I don't think you realized it, probably since you didn't watch the video, but this video literally proves this entire comment wrong. This is a misconception that boils and labels a character down to fit an argument and platitude.
You can do horrible things and still be sympathetic.
Honestly, Annie would be a less sympathetic character if she wouldn’t commit the atrocities all over again. That would mean she is a flip flop character who can’t make up her mind, and who doesn’t have the necessary resolve to reach her goals, unlike the other characters. Oh yeah! Everyone else is resolved to do something, e.g., Eren, who wants to destroy the world.
@@simonO712 atleast you admitted that she did horrible things.
@@NonuGamezRobloxE what you mean u donkey, there's no one saying she didnt do anything wrong, try to at least watch the video
IM FIRST
Yeah, I know tou are very SIMPathetic, yes. I understand.
