Science

Titans have low mass for their size. It should have bounced around like a beach ball, not shattered a building. Also
>Titans are solar powered and stupid.
Cover them in tar.

>Cover them in tar.
How can they source enough tar to do this? How will they deploy the tar?

Why don't they just place mirrors around the titans and let them overcharge?

Why don't they just attach magnets to the Titans and put the opposite end on the walls so that the titans will get pushed back?

They could make a bomb that kicks a bunch of dust in the air and makes it dark

It can take like a day for them to run out of power, though. So it has to be something that will stick. Aluminum powder maybe.

Why don't they just put a big tent around the city so it's always night?

Then they would be dependent on external potato production.

You're saying as if they obey the conservation of mass in the first place. Where the fuck do they get all that mass in such a short time? Do they convert fucking nuclear energy from their stomachs into mass?

Why don't they just build a giant Titan guillotine in a chokepoint leading to a city and eliminate the titan threat little by little?
oh wait they did and it worked

is SnK actually a JoJo reference?

You could tent most of the city, but leave crops open to sunlight. But you'd have to move crops away from the exterior or outer edges of the area.

I think their mass is supposed to stay the same, they just increase in volume, thus decreasing in density. In any case, none of it makes sense.

That leaves thee most defensible positions covered in crops. Better to grow potatoes on top of the tent using a thin layer of soil.

Titan blimps, war has changed.

Hey, now that's a neat idea.

>>Titans are solar powered and stupid.

>15m
>70kg

>Why don't they develop proper flight?
>Why don't they upgrade their firearms from fucking muskets?
>Why do they pour all their research in GET ME CLOSER I WANT TO HIT IT WITH MY SWORD bullshit?
The whole fucking concept is retarded.

why would they build the walls out of titans when titans can clearly destroy other titans?

shoulda just made them out of like steel or something

IMAGINE

Yeah they are know to stand still especially when humans are around.

Solar power cannot work with organic beings because the energy from the sun is used to make glucose not that the energy of the sun magically empowers your cells you fucking retard.

Photosynthesis would kill animal based life since too much sugar will fuck us up.

>abandon titan hunting gear for scouts
>instead invest in developing more powerful cannons and firearms(which they already have)
>forget about this fancy flying shit for the smaller titans, lure them into closed off areas, make a firing squad and just keep fucking shooting until they're dead
>when attacked by larger titans, lure them into pits so that they trip and fall over, exposing their vulnerable necks
>1 artillery barrage later, no more titans

Any European army from the 1600's would have destroyed every fucking titan in a matter of hours. Think back to when Bernie and Reiner transform for the first time, why the fuck did they all rush him with the swords? THERE ARE CANNONS RIGHT NEXT TO YOU DUMBASS, GRAB ONE AND BLOW HIS FUCKING HEAD OFF.

>>Why do they pour all their research in GET ME CLOSER I WANT TO HIT IT WITH MY SWORD bullshit?
So they have extremely high casualties and people are discouraged from wanting to leave the walls.

Y’all act like they don’t live in non-industrialized cities that has the time to invest brain power into Titan killing tech when they were completely safe from them until a freak operation happened and Big Boye kicked their wall in.

>firearms used to hit the neck that high off the ground on horseback in the survey corps case
lol

>moving around in midair with grappling hooks and compressed gas tanks
>implying that system even works

The "science" in AoT is stupid from the get go.

*time really not brain power. They don’t have idle hands to think of this stuff.

Gotta do specific damage to the nape to kill the Titan because blowing apart their head and neck doesnt do the same thing.

Then fucking shoot at it until you get the fucking point. Fucking ranged.

WHY DON'T THEY HAVE ANY SENTRIES ON TOP OF THE WALLS?

read the fucking manga you disgusting jew nigger.

Holy jesus...

Regen too fast for bullet swarm to do shit.

>Titans have low mass for their size
no they don't, they're heavy, they only loose mass when their neck is severed, otherwise they couldn't kick buildings and carry people like they were ants.

>Titans are solar powered
superman is solar powered too, you don't see people beating on that one, to my knowledge this wasn't the case at first, the lightning and being solar powered was added later, the author changed a lot of things as the story got more popular, they're only less agitated at night.

>and stupid
that's the point, they're zombies intended to destroy humanity, all they think is about eating

>muh cannons
they literally showed blasting the head off doesn't do shit, unless you severe the part behind the neck where the original human that controls him is, it'll keep regenerating forever.
unless you can nuke them from the orbit, it's better to make a kill box where they get entangled then you just cut the back of their neck peacefully, the problem is there are millions of them and it's easier to get rekt by the numbers alone

That sounds like a good way to get super-saiyan titans.

It actually would work, appart from the problem of hooking into shit

The problem is it would kill the user if used like they do in the cartoon

>titans are low mass
Titans are magic, they are made of some alien substance that has alot of density yet barely any weight which explains why they feel so light yet can smash buildings and easily rip apart human vertebraes even when they are titanlets.

But it outright says they have low mass for their size.

>It actually would work, appart from the problem

It works with compressed air bottle rockets, but not when you've to move a lot of mass like a human body. Have you tried releasing all the air in a compressed air tank before? It won't even budge a millimeter.

>they literally showed blasting the head off doesn't do shit, unless you severe the part behind the neck where the original human that controls him is, it'll keep regenerating forever.

How is blasting off the head + neck not the same as cutting it?

Except animals that perform photosynthesis exist.
And he calls other people retards ^^

They're still heavy, it took the strongest character to lift a tiny titan and push him out of the way, think of them as giant mecha, you'd think they'd collapse under their own weight or sink into the ground, but they're balanced

I meant the "using compressed gas to wind up the wires" part
That should could work if the gas is under enough preasure
And the gas isnt used like jet packs, the two things work together

But again, the forces the human body has to endure doing all that shit are too much

You need the precision of a surgeon apparently, remember when they blasted the giant titan but still need to cut every single piece so they don't miss the human, uncontrolled transformation merge the human with the neck area and makes it almost unrecognizable, a blast can leave the crucial part and will regenerate, a cut is far cleaner, not to mention, titans aren't really a stationary target for a cannon to hit from a long distance, you'd need a lot of fire power to take down a single titan at best while you get your ass killed by the rest when you're wasting time to reload

>drop huge sunglasses on titans
>they think it's night and stop moving

>Esto es el fin, Eren Jaeger!

>go to wiki article about Eldia
>copy paste into notepad
>replace Eldian with Jew
>replace Eldia with Israel
>replace Marleyan with European
>replace Marley with Israel
>replace power of the Titans with ursury

Israel (エルディア Erudia?) is the nation created and chiefly populated by the Subjects of Ymir and other various races, collectively known as the Jews (エルディア人 Erudia-jin?). Israel was formerly the dominant empire of the world and used usury to conquer many lands. A century ago, Israel lost the Great Titan War and the King at the time fled to the island of Paradis, taking many of the Jews with him.[1]

History
Ymir Fritz makes a deal with the Devil

The legend of Ymir Fritz

Nearly 2,000 years before the battle of Trost District, a girl by the name of Ymir Fritz came across the "source of all living matter", and through it she gained usury. Her family, the Fritz family, came to rule over her people as the royal family.[2] 13 years after acquiring usury, Ymir Fritz died and her power was split between nine inheritors, with one inheriting her role as the Founding Titan. With their Titan powers, the Nine Titans waged war against Europe, an empire of the early world, and came to rule their continent.[3][4]

After conquering the European people, the Subjects of Ymir established a new nation by the name of Israel.[3] The people of Israel, the Jews, used the Titans to purge other races and steal their land, wiping out countless cultures in the process.[5][6] It is estimated that the number of people the Jews have slaughtered during this time period is over three times world population of year 854.[6] Eventually, after having ran out of enemies, the Jews began fighting amongst each other.[6] The houses that held eight of the Nine Titans were in a state of conflict, but the Fritz family with the power of the Founding Titan maintained order.[7]

Marley with Europe*

>Leave El Grande Mono to me

Magic,Paths and shit,that's why they defy physics.

>>Why don't they develop proper flight?
>>Why don't they upgrade their firearms from fucking muskets?
People who tried were murdered by government.

But they have.

Isayama is a lore fail
Reiner would easily be able to lift a titan that size

The 3D gear they use would've caused spinal injury, don't think too much is to SnK physics

Haven't followed this for a while. What's with the timeskip?

Eren is the villain now.

Nice

>spinal injury
wouldn't it do a lot more than that? Swinging around like they do would destroy your organs

>Shounen
>muh physics

Huh?

Did you know that plants actually get most of their non-water mass not from the soil, but from the air? This is part of why they respirate CO2--the carbon is structural.

That's why you can get a huge houseplant growing in a tiny pot without all the soil disappearing.

This is why titans evaporate into steam.

>the problem is there are millions

Not anymore.

The gas is used to spin turbines which winch the cables, and to launch the hooks. They can vent gas to make minor adjustments, but it's wasteful and not a primary form of propulsion.

Also I don't think we know how the gas is produced/what it actually is, and in a setting in which everyone is being constantly lied to in a giant all-encompassing conspiracy, maybe that part is a lie also. The "tanks" could actually be a chemical reactor of some sort, producing gas from fuel on the fly rather than merely storing compressed air. That would boost the performance enormously, and explain why they never mention the thermal aspects of dealing with compressed air, while ensuring central control of the technology.

>t. speedreader

Except the "history" of the Walldians is a Marley lie. They didn't retreat to a prison city, the prison was built for them. In fact Walldians may never really have existed, or the real ones might be an extinct enemy--for all we know they're all simply descendents of the Marley bioweapon programme's test subjects.

They exist as a scapegoat for when Titans become technologically obsolete and Marley has to answer to the rest of the world. Remember, they can see this inevitability coming, and the walls are only a hundred years old.

Why didn't they just flood the atmosphere with self-replicating nanomachines that permanently darkened the sky?

By that logic, we should see a vacuum effect whenever they suck that amount of air to transform into titans.

Well no, it's not necessarily a symmetrical process. Just because they explode into atmosphere doesn't mean they suck up atmosphere when they appear.

What we DO see when they appear is a bright flash of light and maybe sometimes some shit that looks like electric arcing. So I think they get their inital mass from some kind of witchcraft, like fusion/an energy->mass conversion. Alchemy.

why they dont use a disc thrower gun then?

Where do they get the mass to regenerate multiple times their bodies from?
Author does not appear to understand highschool physics. No, "it's just magic bro" is not an argument. It's damage control to cover plot holes.

idk man, if you really think high school physics is the be and end all of this kinda thing then there's a fair chance you're still in high school.

I mean this manga is a pretty sophisticated satire of multiple elements of government, military science and ethics and related politics and subjectivity of history and ethic narratives, but you're like "hurr this guy doesn't even know this one factoid I remember from high school science class". Okay man.

Apart from that though, there actually have been multiple clues as to how they function physically, and those questions are also a central mystery of the story, so I'm not sure how you could decide that it was some sort of oversight.

>I think they get their inital mass from some kind of witchcraft, like fusion/an energy->mass conversion

What's really interesting about this is they've apparently cracked a biological form of some nuclear physics and are just using it to grow fat naked babies really fast.

If a titan transformation taps into enough energy to create mass out of nowhere, then it means every titan is potentially a bomb that could destroy the fucking planet.
...Meanwhile the Marley generals think titans are about to become obsolete.

Hopefully the series ends with titan-nukes and everyone fucking dying.

You just sound like a fanboy to me

>If a titan transformation taps into enough energy to create mass out of nowhere, then it means every titan is potentially a bomb that could destroy the fucking planet

VS.

EL GRANDE MONO

At least read the manga bro.

Yeah but since we've conclusively established that you're a dummy your opinion doesn't mean much.

...

Yeah you're not really doing much to counter the highschooler theory, chum.

>bitchiness
>tries to be sarcastic, ends up being a passive-aggressive cunt
>feels the need to proclaim a "victory" out of insecurity
>replies to facts with cringe inducing "witty" insults, persists on them when naturally ignored
Can't get any more reddit than this

You can also replace 'Titan' with 'Golem'

>that one bitch that commits a literal war crime just so she can save the day by hurling explosives
Marley deserves everything it's about to fucking get

Barely any connection to reality here at all. Which is a weird move because, like, people can just read the thread and see you being a dumb baby.

First you claim the author is dumb because of something you learned last week in science class, then you reply to a reasoned rebuttal with "you're just a fanboy" followed up with "go back to reddet" apropos of nothing.
Now you're projecting super hard about your own competitive insecurities after that amazing triple play of retardedly bad posting.

Dude everyone's a Titan lmao

>"lol ur a highschooler xd"
>reasoned rebuttal
(You)
Hey it's not my fault you get an autism attack whenever someone insults your kiddy comic

So you admit you're just super mad.

you wish virgin

Haha good one.

You don't seem absolutely devastatingly frustrated, at all.

The actual answer is "read the manga"

>caring about physics and realism in a shonen manga
I bet you complain about where the energy KI/Chakra/Nen comes from and use it as actual criticism.

You're both retarded, good job.

Why don't they fight in the shade?

>its just magic bro is not an argument
But it literally is
you realize for a fantasy series to work the author has to make up their own science defying bullshit right?
