Talk:Smiling Titan

Right Sclera Being Yellow
In the anime and manga differences, it's noted that the smiling titan's right sclera is yellow in the anime. However, given one of them is depicted as white and the lighting of the area the titan is located, why would it make sense to assume one of its sclera is yellow/orange? Tthe sclera scatters light in such a way that it can appear tinted in certain lighting situations. There was enough direct lighting on the left eye to make the sclera appear more like it's actual color (basically, white), while it isn't the case with the right eye because it is covered in shadow (enough of the indirect lighting still has an effect though, obviously). Just looking at it simply, an artist who was trying to make it look believable put a yellow tinge on it because of how much bloom and lens flare was going on in the scene. Obviously this isn't a huge deal, but given that this is something that can be explained as an effect created by the lighting, it doesn't qualify as a "difference" between the anime and the manga because no such difference exists--in both cases, the sclera of both eyes are white, just as you'd expect them to be.

Calm demeanor?
I don't think "calm demeanor" counts as a particular ability for this Titan. The only outstanding fact about the Smiling Titan is that he killed Carla before eating her, since most of his kind prefer to devour humans alive. And he just happens to have eyes half shut and a big grin, but a lot of Titans share those features and all Titans simply have frozen expresions, some look happy, others look angry etc. (186.28.193.105 05:49, September 17, 2013 (UTC))
 * Well, killing its victims before eating them seems to be its special trait. Maybe he wants his victims not to suffer while being eaten? I agree that "calm demeanor" isn't something particullary notable, since Sawney also seemed to be introverted.  h fc 2 X  06:10, September 17, 2013 (UTC)
 * So, can we remove it? (186.28.193.105 15:50, September 17, 2013 (UTC))

Doesn't the fact that other Titans attacked and ate it indicate that it is actually a human Titan? 206.255.121.211 07:24, January 21, 2014 (UTC)

No, it was clear enough that Eren caused the Titans attacking it.

A Great Smile
Is this really necessary lol? It's very funny but does it belong there? Gurgatory (talk) 01:00, March 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * I actually lol'd, but rollback'd it since irrelevant.  h fc 2 X  01:04, March 15, 2014 (UTC)


 * Whoa, that's trippy, it's not there anymore... Lol whoops Gurgatory (talk) 01:07, March 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * That's why I said I rollbacked it ;)  h fc 2 X  01:17, March 15, 2014 (UTC)


 * Lol true, my eyes deceived me, the last edit says differently Gurgatory (talk) 01:41, March 15, 2014 (UTC)

It's actually hard to think that it's a great smile. The fact that it smiles like this at all is what gives me the creeps. --Aggression25 (talk) 08:04, May 11, 2016 (UTC)

Size
In which source it's stated its size?--Manuel de la Fuente (talk) 03:10, July 13, 2015 (UTC)


 * Off the top of my head, I can't name anything. But looking at chapter 50, it seems likely that it's that height. If the website where I just read chapter 2 is right, the tallest humanity has seen is 15 meters before the appearance of the Colossal Titan, excluding the Reiss family and anyone else who knows their secrets.

 * For some reason I forgot about this topic, LOL. I'm bad in calculating sizes, but I guess that even a 12 meter class would look that high. And in any way, that's speculation, so I'm going to remove it until we can cite a source.--Manuel de la Fuente (talk) 02:15, July 14, 2015 (UTC)
