Also important to note that a good character doesn't equal a good character. Reiner is quite complex and love him or hate him, he's a really interesting character.

Well, even if you did "hate" that guy, this is your feeling about it. I don't understand why people would be upset at you for this. Keep up the good work guys!

Chelle

100% understand. I think removing that segment of the video is a good idea. I’ve interacted with toxic AoT fans before and they’re really annoying lol (just like any toxic fans, but AoT in particular has a lot of them)

Stephen Ray

So far I only like two - Mikasa and Hange. Are other characters supposed to be likeable? (Sort of kidding)

Alisa Davis

I think some people forget that you don’t have to like every character in a show and that’s okay. Especially in AOT when we consider everyone’s choices and the consequences of them. It’s hard to ignore those things. Sorry you’re getting hate for that.

Stephen Ray

I'm in the same boat - I'm at episode 7 of season 2 right now, but I haven't picked up on anything major, other than suggestions the Titan characters may have motives other than just being evil.

As someone who has not watched this show entirely and only started to bc of this channel, I have to admit I am disappointed with how much this Reiner talk kinda spoils his character for me. Which is, ironically, what I think Kenny was trying to avoid to begin with. I hope people are more mindful that some Patreons might be at the same place as you/Montana.

Exactly, the aot fandom is also notorious for being one of the most unforgiving fandoms in anime too. I really, really hope nothing gets (or got) spoiled for both of em so far. I’m glad the patreon community they’ve got going is respectful of their opinions.

That’s what I’m saying. I’ve rewatched aot with a friend before and he kept asking me questions about Reiner and Bertolt during season 2 and I was like “yea screw those guys” but in all honesty, I like them… Reiner even being one of my favorites in the entire series. And I honestly didn’t even begin to start liking them till I rewatched aot and saw everything with both perspectives in mind. I feel bad for Kenny for feeling the need to edit this out when their reactions and thoughts on the Marleyan warriors are completely natural 😔

That’s really unfortunate, sorry to hear that. While this may be a step in the right direction, some might still be upset like many of the sub>dub people who fight and argue in the comments, heck I remember how controversial Montana hating on Sokka was back then. What I’m getting at is there will always be people who are displeased and find issue in your personal experience but you should be allowed to have your own opinions and not be shamed for them. For what it’s worth, I hope this change calms them so they don’t cause anymore stress for you.

I assumed you were trying to hide stuff from Montana to prevent spoilers. Can’t wait for you guys to get to the first 5 episodes of season 4 and see your opinions on Reiner then.

Krista Han

I think more of a better word/counter would be 'Reiner Not Cool Counter', or something like that. Hate is just such a strong word 🙏

Taizen

I don't know why people would get on your case about Reiner. Did they already forget that you guys are still only on Season 2? They're only thinking about it with the whole picture in mind, rather than think about how little information is known at this point. Giving your opinion on a character based on how you felt about them at a certain point in the story is perfectly fine. I guess all these people with hindsight knowledge want you to steer Montana towards their opinion rather than let it form naturally as the story progresses 🤷‍♂️

Robin B

"moving forward" Oh Kenny... 😂

Connor Speegle

Sorry you had to do this! Everyone had that opinion on Reiner at that time, the fact that people can't accept that is weird!

Letts React

I totally agree, im more saying i cant have toxic youtube fans on the channel, sorry if that wasnt clear haha im more saying thanks for letting me know what could happen.

Kfir shaltiel

I just hope that you’ll be more open to seeing it from a different point of view and not think about him (or other characters) in a black and white way. I think most of the characters in the show are very complex and Reiner and Annie are very sad and sympathetic characters to me.. In any way I love you opinions and analyzation of the show so much and can’t wait for more so don’t let opinions of other people deter you from saying what you think and feel! ❤️

Letts React

like this is where i am. is there a reason we didnt know why that made him do it, and even if there is, he still killed thousands. Idk if im ever gonna "like" him, but we will have to just see!

Stephen Ray

It's a shame that has to be a consideration. I don't know what happens later, but he is kinda responsible for thousands of dead, so not liking him does seem fair.

Sean Carroll

Just to be clear on the patreon comments, no one has been toxic towards your opinion from what I’ve seen, so you might have gone a bit overboard there. YouTube would probably be an entirely different story though so it does make sense to remove the Reiner hate haha.

Ci-Ci

I totally got what you meant by the hate thing! We are only in season 2 and most people at this point hated him haha. I agree that we understand him better in season and appreciate his situation but idk that I necessarily “like” him either. He mostly just makes me sad. I think he’s a very well done character. Conflicted feelings 😅 you think fans would give you guys hate for that statement ? I’m not really involved in the fandom so I don’t know.
