Attack on Titan: Shingeki no Kyojin

[Buffalobiian]

gg - Episode 02

-----------------------------------------


















Is that glamourous girl in the army ranks Mikasa? If so, damn she didn't look like how I expected her to. Both her younger self and the OP/ED showed someone with lifeless eyes. Eyelashes and glossy lips aside, the girl in the ranks still had pretty sparkly eyes - perhaps that'll change soon enough.

Armin is coming off "weaker" thank I'd like, but I do like him compared to Eren at this moment because he's not batshit insane and worked up. He better be the smartest in the group so he's worth something, since Mikasa has his strengths (and then some) right now.

Biggest question this episode: Colossal Titan.

I'm going to guess he's the same one as before.
His current appearance shows growth over his exterior, which I'm going to say is a healing process. By extension, it means his bare-muscle look last episode was due to injury. An alternative hypothesis is that he is capable of shape-shifting to a degree and morphed some armour to help with his wall-tackle, but he would have no need for hair if that was the case.. so more money on injury repair.

Whatever the case, that guy's smart. Or at the very least has a basic level of intelligence. He's toying with the humans. He shatters 100 years of complacency, and took another wall down just to prove that humans aren't safe (so they can live in fear of anticipating his return). He wasn't shown to be eating at all.


You could argue with the alien theory that the Colossal got burned during atmospheric entry. Or that the lightning bolt just coincidentally zapped him. Or that his skin melted when he got fired out of a cannon. All the explanations work, but doesn't make any of them more likely, so we're back to square one.
