People should probably learn the difference between “plot holes” and “things I didn’t like” or “things the franchise plans to explain in the future” or “things film makers didn’t think they needed to explicitly explain because they thought you had critical thinking skills”
Me, buried underneath all the discourse: I’m sorry you don’t like mentally ill people
abused character: [is meek and submissive, cries a lot and is in obvious distress, is vulnerable and scared]
fandom: they’re so WHINY and BLAND,,, how could ANYBODY like them???
abused character: [is angry and bitter, hates their abusers and lashes out]
fandom: um,, they’re JUST AS BAD AS THEIR ABUSERS!!!! they should :))) forgive :)))
If these spoilers are correct, then Reiner, Annie and Bertolt are members of the Elodian race who were left behind on the continent, the same as the people within the walls. When the Mare government chose the child warriors from the Elodian people, it must have been them.
Though I’m still not clear on why they chose children, it appears to me like this may have been done to further divide the Elodian people and weaken their resistance.
i had a moment today while watching a whiny shitlord complain about the injustice of new sci-fi media having more female leads, i suddenly felt the strangest sense of déjà vu. i couldn’t pintpoint it at first but then out of nowhere, it fucking dawned on me
You wanna talk about canon abuse dynamics in TFA? Talk about how Finn was taken from his parents and family as a baby. Talk about Snoke’s grooming of Kylo Ren since /childhood/. Talk about how Rey was abandoned on Jakku.
Do not fucking talk to me about villain/hero dynamics, fighting dynamics, or shit you see in fics.
There’s the abuse, people. Children forced into situations they never should have been in and the people who put them there.
