This anime made me very uncomfortable, and I don't know if it has something to do with my bad mood. The first point: extreme nationalism. The Eldians who have been abandoned are believed to be sinful and of the blood of the devil. The Lena people input the "true view of history" from the Eldians' childhood. Their ancestors are the murderers who put the world in dire straits, while the Mana are the heroes who save the world. Why are the Eldians still alive? It survived because the Mana gave the Eldians a chance to cleanse their sins. The sins of the previous generations have nothing to do with me, and I haven't committed any crimes, so why should I suffer from prejudice against my ancestors. How is this different from what happened to Jews and blacks? (PS Japanese people have changed the history of elementary school textbooks, I hope Japan can correct it. Isayama's animation makes me doubt that Japan has made up history, but I believe more and more) Second point: the first few books are from a personal point of view The way to look at the world, in the fourth part, acts on everyone from the perspective of the country. The huge machine turns the gears, and everyone rolls along the gears. In the early stage, I talked about the individual's pursuit of freedom. As an explorer, I understand the world outside the wall, but the person who pursues freedom becomes the person who launches the anger of war. This is something I can't accept no matter what. The outside world is staring at the Eldians inside the wall. Whether the people inside the wall should guard or take the initiative to attack, it is helpless to face this dilemma. The third point: Ellen actually wants to deny the existence of the Eldians. The Eldians have suffered enough, whether it is the abandoned Eldians or the people inside the wall, the solution as their king wants to get rid of the suffering is actually to make the Eldians infertile, to A gentle way to let the Eldians die. Why can an individual decide the life and death of others? Furious has done a lot of good things in this season, for example, the little people explain the war in a few words. This is too common, and the psychology of the little people is not a big highlight.
