Re: Shingeki no Kyojin 51 Spoilers Thread Welp. Pretty much a 'house keeping' chapter, which was necessary. And involved the characters doing some actual house keeping, appropriately enough haha. Like a lot of people are picking out, I was definitely struck by Erwin's strange smile. I had...

haha okay calm down

Well, not in my opinion. Given what we've seen so far of Isayama's writing, I believe it's the very nature of his approach to be frequently introducing new pieces of information which the reader really couldn't have guessed at, and it's these twists which make other seemingly unrelated or...

I'm not saying there can't be theories, far from it. This point about the author knowing the details & direction of his own story is redundant. I thought the OP was basically suggesting that if you examine all of the so-far available details of a story, and you're obsessive enough about it...

The issue is how much information we have. Plots take time to unfold, and generally speaking a good plot spreads its information over the course of its run (clues, red herrings, foreshadowing, character backgrounds, themes, symbolism, set up and pay off, etc. etc.). We have to be able to assess...

Haha yes exactly. Look at the page: http://i25.mangareader.net/shingeki-no-kyojin/42/shingeki-no-kyojin-3914267.jpg Reiner's confession is my favourite moment in the manga so far, I stared at that lower panel with the dialogue bubble for a few seconds when I first read it, and then looking at...

So...presumably Erwin wouldn't know he had a son?? Or assumes his son died as a baby or something? Which wouldn't account for Armin knowing and remembering his father? Or was the man Armin thought was his biological father not actually his biological father? So many questions.... Armin having...

Really like Dakota Fanning for Christa, nice choice. I like your choice for Bertholdt too... I thought Logan Lerman might also be good for Eren http://cdn03.cdn.justjared.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/lerman-visual/logan-lerman-covers-visual-ties-magazine-04.jpg...

Mm I thought about Chris, he's got that great nose for Reiner, but he's like 30? I think? And Reiner's meant to be pretty young. Both brothers have that flattened nose and the forehead though, very like Reiner. Eren = Robert Sheehan (skip to 3:40 onwards and he's got a real look of Eren to him...

ooh I like JGL for Levi... Am I crazy for thinking of Liam Hemsworth for Reiner?? Dude's like 23, but still...

Mods, maybe would be better to just close this thread?

I have no desire to engage in a long drawn-out debate about this either. I don't particularly want to argue about politics of representation, it's a very difficult and tiring discussion to try and have. eta: (agree with below)

Re: The lack of negro-titans and the abundance of giant wood. However innocently you intended it to be, I'd recommend in cases like these, you don't try and use the canonical logic of a text to try and justify the lack of representation of people of colour. Period. Right. In your opinion...

Re: The lack of negro-titans and the abundance of giant wood. Sorry, this reply is ridiculous & insulting. Also, I'm glad the title of this thread was changed but unfortunately the word is still all over the place. Under-representation of people of colour in works of fiction is a seriously...

Yes...I think the way its shown in the anime differs a little from the manga, but yes it's clear in the anime he's exploding out of the titan and not hijacking its body, so I was mistaken there. Mm, you're right, I agree it's all to do with 'will' and intent, I don't know if you're all...
