Like the whole reason the future he saw is going to happen, is because Eren (and everyone else in the world) has the motivation to MAKE it happen. Ye you can say 'well why doesn't go play video games all day or shoot himself in the head, THAT'll change the future'. The reason is because he has no REASON to do that, he doesn't WANT to do that, and thus that's not what he does.

Listen. If he can't influence the timeline at all, then having him see the future is utter nonsense. It renders this alleged ability moot.

I'm sorry. It's an idiotic idea, it serves no purpose, it raises like a thousand questions about what we've seen and what's yet to come and as far as I'm concerned, if Eren's desired outcome is one he already knows is written and set in stone no matter what he does...….Then there's zero tension. Because presumably he's already anticipated most if not all possible interferences and twisted them to service his scam.

I've been following along since the first arc, the story has always been intriguing, usually the twists are quite compelling. I think Titan gets pretty heavyhanded at times, maybe too much for its own good and I wonder all the time why we detour to things that just don't seem all that important, and the serial escalation just gets nuts because of that reason, the way this guy is always trying to outdo himself. I humor myself in some of the absurdity of it XD That's part of the fun of trailing along. But this is especially frustrating due to how much it throws into question. Of all the twists out there to spring.

Yeah but with Harry and Hermione that ability actually mattered. It made a difference. This does not.

Again this is really making my head hurt. Tell Yams to please condense all that crap and forward it in a 400 word transcript for us next time, because seriously, this is some of the worst filler I've ever encountered. XP
