Here's my understanding of Eren and why I don't entirely agree with your post-

Eren's primary motivation for the Rumbling is his idea of freedom. Even from childhood he was obsessed with it and he was ready to destroy anything that tried to restrict him...
That's why he killed the kidnappers that kidnapped Child Mikasa in season 1 and called them "less than animals"

When Armin showed him his grandfather's book, he saw the beauty of the outside world ..the ocean, the mountains etc and associated that plain blank slate as his idea of what freedom entails...

He associated the walls and the Titans as things restricting him from acheiving freedom.

The problem with these ideals is that such freedom cannot exist in either our world or the AOT world. And that flaw became apparent when they reached the basement in season 3 and discovered that outside the walls were full of enemies...
Eren ascribed these enemies outside the walls as those restricting his freedom...

He was in his words "disappointed" and chose to destroy them...

This is his fundamental motivation for the Rumbling...
Not to make his friends heroes or to end the Titan curse, but to destroy those who restricted his idea of freedom...

Eren loved his friends no doubt, he wanted to protect Paradis as well as end the Titan curse...
But that selfish motivation is what drove him forward...

That is why at the finale, even after Eren told Armin the "benefits" of his actions and being stopped by his friends, Armin called him out. There was no justification for his actions...there was no good lesson for humanity to learn from it as well except to kill or be killed...

Eren himself realizes this...he knows he is acting more out of selfish interest, that's why he breaks down and calls himself "a slave to freedom". That's why he calls himself "an idîot" who had too much power and makes a selfish choice that dooms 80% of humanity...

In other words, Eren's friends being heroes were a result of his actions and their own choices to stop him, not his original intention. Recall when they went to the paths and he told them "they had freedom to choose whether to stop him or not. That in order to achieve freedom, he would take freedom from the world, but take nothing from his friends"

Further proof of this...in the manga, Eren said that even if he didn't know he would be stopped, he would have fully completed the Rumbling.

In other words, he fully intended to complete the Rumbling if he wasn't stopped.

The choice of his friends led to the outcome at the ending:
1. His friends became heroes and lived long lives free of war
2. The Titan curse ended due to Mikasa's choice to accept her love while doing the right thing
3. Paradis had a chance with 80% of the outside world gone.

But his actions were never framed as being right as it did not stop the Yeagerists from taking over Paradis. Even after his friends died and the world rebuilt, wars continued as it's part of human nature...

I don't want to write more, but Eren's conversation with Reiner in Marley (declaration of War), Eren's admission to Zeke in the paths (Memories of the future) and Eren's confession to Ramzi (the kid during the Rumbling) go further to reinforce his selfish motivations
You don't understand Eren enough.

I love how you didn't provide any basis for this grin

Your entire analogy of Eren consists of a small part of a longer conversation with Armin. Further parts of the same conversation shows a more concise part of Eren's character...which I stated...

Even other conversations like the ones with Reiner, Zeke and Ramzi reinforce that...

Let me just drop this here btw...
(Image...manga is read as Right to Left and not Left to Right)

When you're ready, we will do a deep dive into his conversation with Reiner as well...

OhBritannia strikes again. This guy easily gives 10/10 to almost every show he watches, and it's crazy. He raises your expectations, only for you to find out it's average.

He has never hyped any move that didn't turn up to be average.

Dear hongrang 6/10, and I'm just being generous with this rating. The story had potential, but I guess it was too big or complex for them to properly execute. They wasted the potential of the story, and started mixing everything up.
Deviating from one story to another. Mumbled up everything.
They could've done more.
Don't you think you're the problem?

According to you, you observed that his ratings are totally off, but you keep watching his recommended shows. At this point you're the cause of your disappointment, not him..

I downloaded 5 episodes and decided to watch it this week and it has totally been a waste of time. I was hoping it'll get better as it progresses but I gave up when I saw lady Brienne of tarth of G.O.T. as Lucifer Morningstar.
If you like comedy show/series , you might find it interesting sha.
I'll rate it 2/10

But as the saying goes.... "One man's food is another man's poison"

The language is an indigenous Hawaiian language, and there's encoded subtitles for every episode I've watched, if yours doesn't have subtitles, there are websites where you could download them from easily.

I prefer watching movies in their original languages rather than being dubbed in English, I feel the emotions in every word spoken and action done.

Why TF will I be watching something not in the original language?

I feel the nuance, passion, and feel is lost on the translation as opposed to the original language it's meant. It can only be problematic to people of the native language they're speaking when the language spoken ain't fluent or with messed up accents.

If I watched something dubbed and later found out, it just takes out the experience for me.
I always watch my stuff with subtitles whether English or not, so I guess I'm already used to it.

Calling Blue Eye Samurai a masterpiece is a stretch...
A big stretch...

Isn't this the same show where a lit candle was on the floor, and fell during a battle. Which caused a fire that burnt down an entire palace?

Nevertheless, it's a really good show

I guess, if it's not titled "Attack on Titan", then it can't be a masterpiece

Whenever they can't defend their claim, the next step is to use my love for AOT to attack me.

The clôwns and their agenda grin

It's not the first time...
The only reason they didn't say the same for my Superman posts was because they agreed with me on that...

If not, na "you don't like the Superman movie because it's not Attack on Titan" or "You only praise Attack on Titan" or some other generic trash comment grin

I watched that same series (The Robot), you called a masterpiece, and couldn't go beyond the first 5 episodes. I didn't call you out for it, even though I watched it because of your review. It was your masterpiece, so I had no right to dispute that. Why not let him enjoy his own masterpiece in peace
