candle_lighter , 10 months ago to asklemmy in What's your favorite fan-theory for a Movie or TV show you've watched?

The megathread on r/ANRime has a all the info on the theory. But be aware that there is manga spoilers and posts made by terminally online people arguing with other terminally online individuals who disagree with the theory. The entire Attack on Titan Reddit community is a toxic shit show.

candle_lighter , 10 months ago to asklemmy in What's your favorite fan-theory for a Movie or TV show you've watched?

That Isayama (creator of Attack on Titan) has been planning for the anime to be a sequel to the manga rather than an adaptation of it.

There’s a lot of evidence to support this but the one piece that kind of kicked off the theory is the fact that Attack on Titan copied a lot from a game called Muv-Luv. The ending of Muv-Luv 2 is even nearly identical to the ending of Attack on Titan. In Muv-Luv 3, they introduced multiple timelines and it had a different ending. So if Isayama can copy and ending once he can probably do it twice.

the amount of coments I’ve seen that simply go something like “isnt it amazing that x creator is out here entertaining/educating us for free” is huge. once i saw one video where nearly every comment was like that.

candle_lighter , 10 months ago to asklemmy in What do you think of our lord and saviour Odysee.com?

My problem with odysee is that it’s blockchain based and content is impossible to delete, they can only delist it. It’s not foss, but Rumble has been getting more content that isn’t right-wing comentary and politics.

It’s the only platform at the moment that I think could ever surpass YouTube only because creators can make money off it through ads very easily. I would like to see an open source platform like Peertube to be bigger but unless they can find a way to monetize it and give creators a cut, I don’t think it is likely.

candle_lighter , 10 months ago to asklemmy in What film, show or game that is not necessarily 'underated' didn't have the level of social impact it deserved.

Vinland Saga taught me that being kind makes me a stronger man and having no hate for anyone, even those who have wronged me will make me a happier person.

It definitely did make a very big impact on many people, and it’s where all the “i have no enemies” memes originate from. But I do wish It had an even larger impact than it did as it’s an answer to the constant fighting and arguments that has taken over many of our lives.
