Re: Recent Fandom Disappointments?

Shingeki no Kyojin.

First we had chapters of unending battles that I just found boring, and now we've got a few more chapters of "oooh let's dangle more bits of information that lead you nowhere". We're 50 chapters in and no clue of wtf is going on, and at this point I'm just getting annoyed. I don't care for little ~tidbits~ that I need to piece together, especially since so far I haven't seen enough to convince me that the resulting picture will really be worth the effort. Too many deus exes so far.

I'm not terribly annoyed with how the series has been going so far, but it's irritating me that like the last three chapters have basically been 'one person sits in a bed while everyone else explains/flashbacks something important that happened in the meantime.' At this rate I half expect chapter 54 to open with Armin and Jean sitting in bed while Mikasa and Levi explain how they saved them. Please find a new dramatic device, Isayama.

Re: Recent Fandom Disappointments?

[ketita]

Yeah, agreed. But Isayama has a bit of a tendency in general to overuse plot devices (like "foiled by hitherto unknown titan powers" for example).
I will laugh and laugh if next chapter features somebody in bed I think he's just not a very polished storyteller, which makes sense.

SNK SPOILERS YO

Yeah, we finally heard Christa's story and ... heard that she had a shitty childhood and a bunch of shadowy dudes wanted her dead?

We've gotten a few interesting tidbits here and there, especially after the priest guy was tortured, but no real LEADS.

And when Eren and Christa were seemingly kidnapped I nearly screamed NOT AGAIN at the top of my lungs until I learned that they were decoys and this was all planned out. It's almost as if the characters themselves can feel my massive frustration as to why everyone wants Eren that they came up with this just for answers.

Hell, some people wanted Bert and Reiner to succeed in taking Eren just so we could see WHO they're working for and WHY and I actually agree.

Honestly I can't wait until the anime does these scenes - it's much better at expanding some parts while shrinking others, and goddamn do these parts need some editing.

Re: SNK SPOILERS YO

[ketita]

+1 to all your points.
The "big reveal" with Christa didn't actually reveal much of anything yet. And as for the kidnapping, I will admit that it's a relief that this was planned, but I still feel that the kidnapping/decoy thing is getting repeated a bit often. This is the third kidnapping and the second decoy situation. We could use some variety in here...

And so much yes on the Reiner and Bert, I was practically banging my head into the table with annoyance when we didn't LEARN much of anything. I understand it's supposed to tantalize the readers, but so far it's just aggravating me.

Even though the anime had some wonky pacing issues (and I don't like how they derailed Eren's character at the end there), it really made a lot of the story much more streamlined and pleasant to follow.
