I have stated what I want.

I love hard core brutal movies mostly drug related, money laundering, crimes, prisons medievals Series with matured cast and good twist and dialogue.
Not necessarily kicho kicho or shooting up and down.

Come let's talk, let's play with words.
Let's flex our power through actions (God father of harlem)

I have rewatched breaking bad upto 3 time's because no more good hardcore drug series out there.

I watched wire but had to abandone it from season 4 I think due to the introduction of too much kids slinging dópe and gunning up and down. That some tough men since the beginning of the season was killed by kids. Like whattaafuck?..+

I watched snowfall but I can't just help seeing a black assz young african nigga ridding bicycle from there he met a drug lord ask for a kilo Viola film don start....while his homie was forming a tough nigga.. Like whattaafuck..? Abandoned.



I watched bmf two young niggas started dragging territory with their fellow black counterparts. Stacking up money and showing huge bills from dope sales...all in season 1 like whatta hell?.

No build ups, no matured cast to match with the words.


All this new drug series need to learn from breaking bad and Godfather of harlem. It's not all about slinging, or showing cash up and down. Or using..
It's the build up that matters.
The cast, matured casts not packing bunch of teenager's to show us gangster when the real OGs like TUCO is there.


That's why I love mexican movies.

You want brutal, I give you brutal.
Old prison series don't think many persons have seen it.

Oz.

That's the name.

Mahito can be defeated but you must use attacks that affect his soul.

Normal attacks are useless against him.

So far Itadori can damage his soul. Same as Nobara...that's one of the reasons he focused on killing her. Nobara and Itadori are his natural enemies...

Todo cannot damage Mahito's soul so far...
So Itadori is the only hope for now

shows like arcane and blue eye Samurai is a proof that men don't hate female led contents,we don't just like poorly written shows/movie.


Disney should go learn from Netflix 😁 instead of rehashing the same shit ,their box office and viewership will suffer if they continue producing weak shit like,miss marvel,she hulk.
I actually do hate movies or shows with female leads especially when it is an action series, seeing a female actor beat up her male opps is always strange to me

I have watched it bro I think 2012 even rewatched it last year.

It's interesting and hardcore brutal killings in the presence of guard's and all.
Though the gay shitzx of the lead cast did turn me off. But I just keept going because of the gangster shiitz of different ethnicity in it. The diversity..Old and young gangster's different murder plot while behind bars. The hates,open racism.


Supremacy fights of whites, mexicans, black, Arya brotherhood all in one prison cell. Not forgetting the Muslim brothers

Hardcore criminals and murderers
The twist and anybody can die at anytime just kept me going.
The suspense nor be play.
That movie shows me prison is another world of it's own.
That' serie is dope rank with breaking bad.

They don't make good series like this anymore if not we won't be complaining.
All they do is pack bunch of teenagers in a movie, no depth, no content.
And imdb back them with overhyped rating when you watch you be disappointed.

It's only a problem when it's not done well...
You hate it cos of the way some it's depicted in some movies...

Hollywood mostly tend the make the males incompetent in female-led action movies...

If you want a proper female-led action movie, go watch The Villainess (2017)

Here it won't feel weird cos the men are actually competent...you can tell that the men are physically stronger and use that strength to their advantage...

Female characters are the hardest to write in media.

Many writers struggle in writing female characters. Females are generally too emotional so they can easily become very annoying to watch in some media.

There is also the issue of strength.

She could easily turn into a Mary Sue who has no weaknesses...
If you write her weaker, she could easily become a damsel in distress

Most writers have to find a balance...but it's easier said than done. They don't have to worry as much when writing a male character.

Some writers avoid the stress by turning all female characters into fan service who exist soley to please the men...their entire personality is watered down to their sèxual role or love interest.

Some action stories simply relegate female characters to support roles so it doesn't lead to power scaling problems e.g Baki

Some other stories just avoid female characters in general e.g Kaiji

Even females struggle to write proper female characters in movies/series.
It is extremely hard to properly write a female-led action movie/series


Females get too much wahala in real life and in media

But there is one thing I don't fully understand, if at that point of medal ceremony Eren knew exactly what he was going to do that is "anhillate 80% of the people outside the walls", he seemed remorseful & regretful of his actions when he was talking to Armin in that boat scene before eventually seizing the memory till after he died to commit the act.

Why exactly did he go ahead to do it, I get he wanted to free Ymir & all but was killing them all the only true way.

the answer is that Eren is a slave to his ideals...
A slave to the idea of freedom...

He knew what he was doing was wrong and he was remorseful but he still wanted to do it...
He accepted that not everybody outside the Island was evil...but he still chose to kill them...
He believed he could not stand by and do nothing...

Eren chose to sacrifice the world for his ideals and his friends


If he did nothing the Titan curse would continue and his friends wouldn't live long...Armin had only 9 years to live because of the 13 years Titan curse

The Global Allaince would also attack Paradis Island.

Weirdly Eren sort of acheived all his goals:
1. See the sights he dreamt about since he saw Armin's books as a kid

2. Helped his friends live long lives

3. End the Titan curse

4. Give Paradis Island a fighting chance by levelling the playing field...(wiping out 80% of the world)


Other plans like the 50 years plan and the Euthanasia plan proposed by Zeke would not achieve all of Eren's goals since the Titan curse would remain...and Armin would die in 9 years...and Historia and her children would continue the cycle of children eating their parents

only way to achieve his goals...yes...

But there were other better plans with less casualties...

The 50 years plan supported by Paradis military...which Eren would wipe out the Global Alliance army and major military strongholds...
Then use the Titan powers to force nations into negotiation...
During this period, with the help of the Hizuru people and any other ally they could get, they'd improve their technology to catch up to the rest of the world...
The plan was proposed to last for 50 years...
The only casualties would be Historia and her descendants...and whoever keeps inheriting the founding Titan

Flawed plan but the best in my opinion


There was also the Euthanasia plan Zeke wanted. It's similar to the 50 years plan but instead, after wiping out the Global Allaince, they would Euthanize all subjects of Ymir around the world so they cannot reproduce and give birth to children...
In about 100 years maximum, all subjects of Ymir would grow old and die peacefully...

Since they won't have descendants, the Titan curse would end...
Casualties are Historia's descendants and all subjects of Ymir would not be able to give birth.. thereby taking away their freedom the spring life into the world

Many fans support Zeke's plan.

Eren rejected both plans and chose his own desires and the lives of his friends over the world.

Eren did not care about world peace

Oh I get cause me sef was thinking when he was doing the rumbling, he didn't need to kill innocent civilians he could have just taken out all their military & all, but I just understood the titans just had to go anywhich way.

Maybe the real fault of the rumbling is Ymir's cause if she hadn't been self-enslaved by foolish love & ended the titan curse maybe Eren wouldn't have gone ahead with it.

Also I don't understand what is Historia part in this , I know she is a Reiss but since Greisha gave Eren the founding Titan I thought her family was already irrelevant abi is there something I must be missing.

It's more of the King Fritz from 2000 years ago than Ymir. King Fritz used Ymir.
She was a slave who knew nothing and mistook his treatment of her and producing children for him as love.

To access the power of the founding Titan, you need the blood of the Fritz family (royal blood)
The Reiss family are actually the Fritz family but they changed their name.

When King Karl Fritz (the first king of the walls) took his people into the walls, he erased their memories of the world and their history.
Then Karl Fritz changed the name of his family to Reiss. Then he installed a puppet bloodline as king while controlling the Island from the shadows.

So Reiss is Fritz. To use the power of the founder, you must be of Fritz bloodline (true royal blood).

But anyone of Royal blood that inherits the founder will become bound by Karl Fritz vow of renouncing war and become a puppet of Karl Fritz will.

To bypass this rule, Eren who doesn't have royal blood has to touch a member of this royal blood who is a Titan (either normal Titan or Titan shifter). That is why Eren needed Zeke because Zeke is the son of Dina Fritz (Grisha's first wife)

Eren didn't want Historia to be turned into a Titan. Paradis military wanted to turn Historia to a Titan so Eren can touch her and use the powers of the founder.

So the next option for Eren was to use Zeke. That's why Eren needed Zeke to enter the paths and meet Ymir.

Ymir sided with Eren over Zeke but Eren still needed his blood to connect with her because she was still under the control of that King Fritz from 2000 years ago.

So Historia's blood was still relevant.

Oh I get now you can have the founding Titan but can't truely use it unless through a royal blood, your explanation makes sense die you be real Aot fan sha cause I have also watched the anime but I was unable to truely comprehend everything that happened I would still rematch the whole thing again sha.

Yes. You can't use the power of the founding Titan without having Royal blood.

But even when you have royal blood and inherit the founding Titan, you'll become a puppet of Karl Fritz. That's why even when the Reiss family were inheriting the power for 100 years, they didn't do anything to save humans in the walls.

Before inheriting the power they will promise to save humans in the walls, but once they inherit it, their mind succumbs to Karl Fritz vow renouncing war and just like Karl Fritz, they won't do anything.
They'll instead stay quiet in the walls to atone for the sins their forefathers committed for 2000 years.

Remember the scene at the end of Season 2 where Eren punched the Titan that ate his mum, then he could suddenly control normal Titans.
Then in season 3 it was revealed that that Titan was Dina Fritz. She had royal blood and Eren touched her so that was why he could control those titans
