Elfen Lied maybe since it actually is able to balance story with violence but not AoT that's a story driven by it's graphics.
Yeah but mostly 14-18 year old boys are the ones wanting those blood and guts because it makes them feel grown up
Plot that revolves completely around political corruption and revolution that dominates the current arcs of the Attack on Titan manga say "Hi." Kinda stupid to say AoT's story is graphic driven when the shit looks like this:
I didn't say artistically driven I said graphically driven and that panel exemplifies my point, there's not a single part of story on that page just grotesque graphics. It might have an adult plot but it's story is driven by the images from every example I've seen.
LMAO so you haven't actually experienced the story, you just think it's driven by imagery as opposed to plot because you've seen stills of violence and action? Have you even attempted to delve into the political plot of the manga before you said this?
The infamous Riker puts his own conjecture into an argument again. I said "Every example I've seen" You then decided what those examples were. I've read some of the first chapters and I watched the first season, those were reliant on imagery and shock value to gain attention.
Which is why I asked you if you've delved into the political plot and if those examples were just violent. Those weren't rhetorical questions.
Well you've practically seen it all then.
This is what you said:
This can literally only mean that being driven by images is bad. You never it's bad because it favors imagery over story, you say "it might have a plot, but it's driven by imagery." That can only mean even if it tells the story through imagery, it's bad because, hey, it's through imagery.
Word of advice then, if a question isn't rhetorical you probably shouldn't lead with a capitalized lmao. Kind of adds a tone of condescension to your post but I suspect you knew that when you were doing it hmm?
I said it wasn't rhetorical, not that it wasn't condescending.
You misunderstand. I know what you want it to mean, but the way it's written only has one meaning. You said "Hey, it might have a mature plot, but it's driven by imagery." Because you didn't include "It's driven by imagery as opposed to" or "driven by imagery causing (insert narrative element here" to be reduced," the phrasing means "Driven by imagery is bad." Your wording was universal, not conditional.
The problem here is you think it's either-or. It's not. Mad Max and Attack on Titan aren't works that trade up telling the story because they focus on imagery, they tell the story through a focus on imagery. The plot is developed through action, not in spite of the action, or vice versa. Which is your problem with AoT is nonexistent.
Because it's an average story that relied on graphic depictions and shock value to entice readers into trying it. The majority of it's fan base is there because the author chose to draw over the top violent scenes rather than a well crafted story. As I've explained above it's not a bad story but it's not a great one and it relies on the imagery to sustain it.
Dude, he's seen one season and read like four chapters. Does he sound like he doesn't know what he's talking about?
