34. Part 7 of Reaction to “Attack on Titan” S4E4: “From One Hand to Another”

So, we’re finally at the last part of my reaction to Episode 4! In this episode, we’ll talk about: • Some comparisons I noticed between material from past seasons and Falco’s attempts to explain himself to Gabi here • The subtle cultural influences I’ve noticed with these scenes • And finally that Pieck scene that fans had so wanted MAPPA to include. P.S. Someone else caught this: Rather than having it in Episode 2 or 3, MAPPA waited until Episode 4 of Season 4 to have Pieck on all fours! Hmm, funny how the numbers lined up. By the way, I’m also doing an extra part for the Resource Roundup this time: I’d like to highlight some of the reaction & analysis channels I recommend checking out. Fair warning, though: Some do use thumbnails or titles that may be a bit spoilery. Like myself, SeaTactics goes out of his way to avoid having spoilers, including moderating the comment section as best he can. But I can’t yet vouch for the others that way. But their sharp minds and observant eyes very much make their work worth checking out either way. [Some do use strong profanity, mind you.] And personally, my policy already is to turn off or put limits on YouTube notifications for 12 or so hours before the JAPANESE premiere time for each new episode, and then return to regular settings only after I’ve watched it. [Very roughly speaking, that amounts to first tweaking the notifications during the late evening hours of Saturday, if going by Eastern Standard Time.] Thus far, that’s been my best bet for avoiding spoiler titles and thumbnails until I’ve seen the new episode myself. And let me say ahead of time that this isn’t a comprehensive list of reactors. I’m no doubt leaving off some worthy names here. You can find more folks in my general playlist for Season 4. But this will definitely be a good start. ========= Content Notice, abbreviated to fit longer description: Same as provided for most of my "Attack on Titan" coverage—the podcast episode is PG, show itself is R/MA.  ========= Resource Roundup: Eren, after experiencing Grisha's memories: https://youtu.be/zXqpNPUbpgA Some recommended reactors and analysts—SeaTactics, Turtle Quirk, SuperSama, Jimmy Macram, Nholoa, and Kimchi & Tofu: https://bridgeurl.com/reference-links-for-podcast-episode-34-aot-s4e4-part-7 Perspective on dealing with the racier moments and topics (also contains that diet and athleticism topic, as well) : https://youtu.be/eif1dZ4GifU Part 1 of my review for Episode 4: https://ahsokajackson.com/2020/12/28/28-reaction-to-attack-on-titan-season-4-episode-4-from-one-hand-to-another/ My series review for people new to the show: https://ahsokajackson.com/2020/12/07/9-why-attack-on-titan-shingeki-no-kyojin-is-well-worth-a-try/ Resources & Episode Web Page: https://ahsokajackson.com/2021/01/08/34-part-7-of-reaction-to-attack-on-titan-s4e4-from-one-hand-to-another/(opens in a new tab) Keep an eye out for upcoming episodes!
