What Is Season 4 Of Attack On Titan About

Okay, so you've made it through three seasons of Attack on Titan. You’ve seen Titans munching people, Eren yelling a lot, and enough strategic maneuvering to make your head spin. Now comes Season 4. Buckle up, buttercup, because things are about to get weird.

Forget everything you think you know about the good guys and the bad guys. Remember when the Scouts finally reached the ocean? Well, beyond that big blue expanse lies… more problems!

The Tables Have Turned (Kind Of)

Imagine discovering that all this time, you're the 'monster' from someone else's perspective. That’s the reality check our characters get in Season 4. The island of Paradis, and its inhabitants, are seen as devils by the nation of Marley.

Marley is a powerful empire with advanced technology, and they control other nations and Eldians, people who can transform into Titans. Our heroes have become the enemy. See? Weird!

We see things from Marleyan soldier's perspective, especially young Eldians being trained to inherit Titan powers and fight for Marley. It's like, "Wait, are we supposed to sympathize with these guys now?"

Eren's Got a New 'Do (and Attitude!)

Remember Eren Yeager, the screaming, Titan-shifter extraordinaire? He's...different. He's got a new, longer hairstyle and is now making some seriously questionable decisions.

He's gone undercover, infiltrated Marley, and is acting all broody and mysterious. Basically, he's gone rogue. Prepare for some "Is Eren a good guy or a bad guy?" debates with your friends.

War, What Is It Good For? Absolutely Nothing! (Says Everyone, Eventually)

Season 4 throws you right into the thick of war. Marley is fighting other nations using the power of the Titans. It's brutal, chaotic, and makes you question the cost of freedom. War isn't just about epic battles; it is also about propaganda and the abuse of power.

The episodes showcase the devastating impact of the conflict on everyone involved, even children. It's heavy stuff, but it gives the whole show a new layer of depth. It questions the human nature of war.

Family Drama (Because What's a Good Apocalypse Without It?)

Expect a whole lot of family secrets to come spilling out. Questions about bloodlines, hidden agendas, and long-lost relatives make the show even more convoluted and interesting.

The Ackerman family (Levi, Mikasa, Kenny) has more secrets than anyone realized. Family ties are challenged as allegiances shift and new relationships are created.

The Comedy (Yes, There's Still Some!)

Amidst all the gloom and doom, there are still moments of levity. Jean is still Jean. Sasha's still craving food. And the awkwardness between certain characters is still hilariously present.

Glimpses of humor is necessary to balance out all the dark themes, a refreshing reminder that even in the face of extinction, people still find ways to laugh and connect.

Season 4 of Attack on Titan is a wild ride. It's darker, more complex, and full of twists that will leave you saying, "Wait, what just happened?". But it's also a story about survival, the human spirit, and the never-ending quest for freedom. So grab your popcorn, steel yourself for some emotional damage, and enjoy the ride! You'll probably need a rewatch (or ten) to fully grasp everything.
