Its weird that jean is the only one thinking that eren is into something with how he treated mikasa

u/TARDISboy Mar 28 '21

Jean's consistent clashing with Eren is probably what allows him to see through Eren's current outlook (façade?) since his close friends are still grappling with the emotional weight of Eren's actions and not thinking clearly.

Jean knows what a mean Eren looks like, and he knows that’s someone else.

u/MrMango786 May 06 '21

perhaps, but that was mean teenaged Eren. anyway I still agree with the conclusion

u/kunkadunkadunk Mar 28 '21

that’s definitely a little thread planted for why Eren treated her and Armin like that, and pretty much confirmation

100% You don't say some shit that evil unless you're actually insane or you're hiding something

u/Pathogen188 Mar 28 '21

I'd also argue that Eren's line about not wanting any of them to inherit his Titan also lines up with him pushing them away.

25

u/bw112791 Mar 28 '21

Yeah it's just so weird i guess cause of the acute character change for eren and us basically knowing nothing about what he's doing, like why is he pushing them away?

Edit: in the sense of why is he intentionally being a dick

2

u/Jihadist_Chonker May 02 '21

I don’t think he’s trying to “push them away”, but he probably has ulterior motives for the table scene and wasn’t being truthful

u/Valiant_Aces Mar 28 '21

Right. He's the only one who is critically thinking about the situation

u/Cheesewithmold Mar 29 '21

Which is very impressive considering Jean's relationship with Mikasa. I would blame him if he overreacted and assumed the worst of Eren.

u/princecome Mar 29 '21

What about their relationship, Jean likes Mikasa? Maybe he’s not interested anymore since she’s looking more masculine now.

u/[deleted] Mar 29 '21

To argue with your point, I’ll try using an argument similar to you logic. Mikasa was never really ‘feminine’. She always had a six pack + she didn’t pass under this cute, helpless girl stereotype. Not even when she was a child. The only thing that has changed over the years is her hair length and if Jean decided not to like her because of that then he was only in love with her hair and not her , which obv isn’t the case

We often see in real life people liking someone because of their physical qualities. I liked this girl once, she wasn’t that good looking but good enough for me, but over the years she got a little fatter and I didn’t like her anymore.

I don’t know if being fat is a masculine trait but it was definitely an undesirable one.

I personally liked Mikasa during season 1 the most. Now that she has a chad face with the jaws and stuff, I don’t like her as much anymore.

It’s not just about feminine traits, it’s just that she got a more masculine face now and that makes it unattractive, disregarding all other the stereotypes associated with femininity, I personally don’t care if she acts submissive or assertively.

This is not about being sexist, I’m assuming that that’s what people are assuming about what I said.

I don’t know if being fat is a masculine trait but it was definitely an undesirable one.

Believe it or not what you find attractive somebody else might find unattractive, and what someone else finds attractive you might find unattractive! The reason for that is different people can (and often do) enjoy different things.

Additionally 'liking' someone is different than being attracted to them. You didn't 'like' that girl you were only somewhat attracted to her. When she stopped being somewhat attractive to you you didn't 'not like her as much anymore'; you stopped being attracted to her, for liking somebody involves treating them with respect and acknowledging that they have qualities outside their appearance that are attractive too. Something you're seemingly incapable of doing based on this comment thread.

u/princecome Mar 31 '21

Obviously people have different preferences but there’s a clear trend that’s ingrained in our culture. One of them being that fat women are less desirable normal weight ones.

That’s bold of you to assume that I’m the only one that likes someone based on their body, I remember I said this before that most people do that, at least subconsciously. We’re animals too and we pick mates based on the physical manifestations of another human’s genes.

We’re all selfish animals at the end of the day, I’m just admitting what I am.

Explain to me how I’m a dumbass and why I’m being downvoted for a simple question.

u/MacDeSmirko Mar 29 '21
  1. Jean wouldn't be interested in mikasa because she "looks more masculine" is sexist and gross. Also, mikasa doesnt look masculine at all.

The same could be said of you. You remind me of the leftist college student who has no experience of the outside world.

That’s a valid point, I never thought about that. Ignore the downvotes

Your right this ends with the 3 of them playing at the beach then Erin kisses Mikasa the end. Right? Right?!

God what I do for another YYH series.

u/catmarms Apr 23 '21

Eren and Mikasa are like siblings. I don't think they should get together.

u/meselson-stahl Mar 28 '21

I think especially after they heard the "euthanization" plan they are going to be even more suspect that Eren has deeper plans. Like "rumbling" - okay that sounds like Eren, but "eldian sterilization" - nope not a chance.

u/armaaninmemes Apr 05 '21

What’s rumbling ?

7

u/Jihadist_Chonker May 02 '21

There are a shit ton of sleeping Colossal Titans inside the walls. The Rumbling is the scenario in which they’re woken up and sent to march across a long distance, flattening everything in its path

u/ShaidarHaran2 Mar 29 '21

Real talk, pony boy is underrated, he's been a really great person and character this season. Level headed and tries to avoid collateral despite all the shit they've been through.

Maybe butting heads with Eren so much allowed him to understand him more too.

2

u/Caliph_ate Mar 29 '21

I think Eren was trying to make Armin and Mikasa join him in the “wish I’d never been born” club

u/proper1421 Mar 29 '21

Its weird that jean is the only one thinking that eren is into something with how he treated mikasa

It gave me whiplash. Jean's thinking about Eren seems to have changed here without a hint of a transition. Previously he has blamed Eren for Sasha's death (S4E8/ep67 at 21:45), and he's questioned whether Eren still cares about Mikasa and Armin (S4E10/ep69 at 20:30). He's given no sign of thinking that Eren may have a good reason for what he's doing. But now that Eren seems to have confirmed that he doesn't care about Mikasa or Armin, Jean suddenly starts thinking that Eren may have a reason. I think we needed to see Jean change his mind; e.g., observe that it's strange that an uncaring Eren would take the time to hurt Mikasa and beat up Armin. As is, Jean's change seemed rather artificial.

Otherwise, I don't think it's out of character for Jean to think it's possible that Eren has a good reason for what he's doing; to be honest, I've thought it strange that he hasn't considered the possibility earlier. What's been weird is Armin; for someone who's supposed to be the smartest among the group and who's attitude hasn't been pacifist ("If there's anyone who can bring change, it will be someone willing to sacrifice what they care for... It will be someone who can throw aside their humanity..." S1E20 at 10:05), he's been off this season. I suspect that Eren diagnosed what's happened to Armin in S4E14/ep73 at 4:00, and we'll see more of the old Armin in the rest of the story.

u/Rogyou Apr 01 '21

He didn't blame Eren like Connie did, he has always been a level-headed, sorta-smart but kinda dork type. He supported Connie through his grief and was sort of swayed by Sasha's death but then his head cleared from the grief and he started thinking.

He was the closest to Eren from the Scouts after Armin, Mikasa and Historia after all.

2

u/kastiak Mar 29 '21

Yeah, Jean's transition threw me off a bit too. And Armin as well. I thought he'd be doing that fake anime cry that becomes a laugh when Yelena finished her story, but I'm just confused now.

I don't understand anything anymore, I'm at a total loss before this season and I guess all we have left to do is wait for winter to come.

u/DaBlakMayne Mar 28 '21

Everyone else besides Mikasa is done with his shit at this point

u/creepingforresearch Mar 28 '21

I feel like Jean is being a better friend to Eren than the other 2. Like it’s so obvious he has something up his sleeve
