I'm curious, what is the goal of the Paradisians (Eren+Scouts) vs Marleyans?


The Marleyans want to use the Titans to build their society and the scouts just want revenge for screwing up their peace? Or Eren just wants to end the whole Titan thing?

I think the Paradisians’ goal is to take down the Marleyan government and every other government that is still trying to persecute them. If they do that then they believe they would be totally free.

There is a pretty solid group that watches it dubbed, so they are always a few weeks behind from the subbed debut.

Most will be revealed soon if you don't read the manga.

But at this point in the series.

Paradise is 100 years behind the rest of the world because the 1st/145th King.

It was a plan by the Tybur's and the King to retire from the world.

Both families made the same hands off mistake that led to the current state of the world and produced two oddly similar men, Reiner and Eren.

Eren is taking the Attack Titans mission to it's logical extreme.

Marley wants the resources and the Coordinate from Paradis to maintain its supremacy as the rest of the world catches up to its Titans.

This week really turned the heat up. I won't spoil for dub folks.

Also, what's with the complaints on the animation? I don't get it.

I caught up last week. Though I caved and watched the subs (no spoilers for dub viewers below).

quote:

The Marleyans want to use the Titans to build their society

After the Eldian empire was “defeated” and their king fled to the island, the Marleyans (who led the revolution) ironically just carried on with what the Eldians were doing by creating their own empire using titans. Because of that they have a lot of enemy nations who hate them. Their original goal was to acquire the founding Titan who has the ability to control all non-special Titans including the millions of colossals titans that make up the wall. They want to maintain and expand their empire. The Eldians that work for them, like Reiner, have been brainwashed but also promised that they will be become honorary Marleyans if they serve the empire.

The scouts and their people want to exact revenge but mostly they want to take down the Marleyans since the they are the main threat to Paradis island. They’re not pissed for losing their peace because at that time they didn’t realize there was peace. The rest of the world didn’t exist to them.

quote:

Or Eren just wants to end the whole Titan thing?

Eren has gone physco. He’s essentially on a revenge tour but also wants to put fear into everyone that opposes them. Which is most of the world.

Supposedly her current look is more in line with what she looks like in the manga.

supposedly mikasa is ambiguous... one of my manga reader friends brought this point up. plus there is no pronoun usage (she) etc in the show that determine one way or another, altho mikasa is def a female on TV that may not be the case in the manga.

ETA hange not mikasa...carry on

To destroy Marley....if you are not sure why then just go back on a rewatch the series. Though episode one makes it pretty clear why at this point.

How much content does the show leave out from the manga? Is it worth a read or am I good just watching the show?

I binged the first 3 seasons and got current on season 4 in less than a week a few weeks ago. It's an incredible show and I never thought I would like it as much as I do.

From my understanding so far, the Marleyans want to reclaim all of the 9 titans, and especially the founding titan, to aid them in their many wars.

The scouts and Paradis want to live in peace and be free of the confines of the wall.

Eren just wants to watch the world burn.

No Hange is ambiguous in the manga not Mikasa.

quote:

The manga's author, Hajime Isayama, has left Hange's gender open to interpretation as he told his editor that 'either one is fine'[163] and instructed Kodansha Comics not to confirm any gender in their translation.[164] Since then, Kodansha has removed gendered pronouns for Hange in their translation and clarified that indeed, Hange's gender is up to the reader's interpretation. The anime and the live-action movie, on the other hand, have consistently depicted Hange as female or with more pronounced feminine traits, as well as many manga translations into languages where avoiding gendered pronouns is difficult or impossible.

Not that much is left out but the story telling is different and far less linear. Season 3, specifically the first half compressed some story telling for the sake of fitting it all in, but the core story is all there.

I think it's worth a read for sure.

Edited to add, I'm only halfway through reading the manga myself. However I did look into what if anything was missing from the anime.

That might explain why her Japanese voice actor sounds a bit ambiguous too. Though the VC is way too boring for someone as eccentric as her character.

Is no one else here caught up?

The sub Reddit, like many anime subs, seems fixated on going crazy over the characters rather then discussing the story.
