But but Alsatian puppies
I may be a bit biased here, given yesterday I spent five minutes watching a stranger play fetch with his Alsatian pup in the local park.
Also, British police dogs probably have their own prejudices, that don't include Latinos
Now that i think about it, didn't they dig some trenches right in front of the wall? I remember that the cannons can aim straight down off the walls, though. And they often do...

Not my thing. I like live music, but don't like going to concerts for hours. A live band in a bar or restaurant is pretty much my speed.

I am excite
basically everyone's like "olol the titans aren't a threat anymore" then by the time their shit gets wrecked now they are struggling to just feed everyone and can't exactly fill the inner ring of the town with crazy defenses
Yea but they were like, 20 feet deep, and just one layer
these humans suck, but it looks like as of the most recent episode they're going to be extinct by episode 10 anyway what with basically everyone dying immediately after 4 episodes of buildup
Edit: I guess my complaint is shared by the protagonist, the humans of this world are taking fuckall proactive measures for their survival and being super passive about this whole titan thing. It's actually a plot point that very few people are trying to come up with active ways to prevail against them
One half of it contains nothing but lettuce.
by say
a chain-link fence
some spools of razor wire
guns
a door
but no they overrun the military somehow.
Zombie stories don't really work if they can be stopped with a snap of the fingers.
It's unrealistic, yeah, but so is the whole zombie premise in the first place.

and I shall not only make it impregnable I will eradicate the titans
the answer: artillery.
also why is it called attack on titan that is a really poor name
but it's for political science and its about income inequality, so this should be a cake walk
My sister's dog is a massive racist.
Not really, but she is freaked out by long flowing garments for some reason, especially if they're brightly coloured, so if you're out walking her and happen across a lady in a sari she goes mental.
Just cut and paste from "the difficulty of understanding how other people live"

21 days later was a good zombie movie because the zombies were not the primary threat, and they didn't wipe out the military (and razor wire appears to be a pretty hard counter to zombies in it)
in all other zombie fiction the military just fights them in a stand still battle and gets overrun completely forgetting that they're capable of both moving and building fortifications
Basically in every zombie story, ESPECIALLY world war Z, everyone takes pills of profound stupidity
nonono
just because the initial bit of the premise is unrealistic does not mean nothing else has to be.
some magic makes zombies. Okay. Let's accept this.
That doesn't mean that extremely basic physics shouldn't be like in reality
or that humans shouldn't act like actual people
which is the main reason I didn't watch beyond season 1. Holy motherfucking shit everybody is so retarded in walking dead. shut the fuck up! Stop screaming at each other! Holy fucking shit you are annoying! Also feed that woman to the godamned zombies!
This post just consumed one of your nine minutes.
All dogs are racist. It is known.

that's good because walking dead isn't actually a good entry into the genre.
conscription. Send people out titan-hunting.
wait to be eaten.
chain-link fence.
doors.
Uh...
Have you watched the show?
They literally do that.

no I haven't watched the show. Don't want to.
Assuming that the Titans aren't that intelligent, they could just ring the walls with kamikazes and hope the titans go for them first.
That is an absurd waste of resources when you consider the resources necessary to kill titans by hand.
AND THE FACT THAT RESOURCES ARE VERY LIMITED.

But it's necessary for the story to work.
Realistically, if there was a zombie attack, it would be quarantined and stop growing shortly after becoming big enough for authorities to act, and then would either be killed by the military or dead of natural causes shortly after that. That doesn't really make an interesting story. So in addition to the first assumption, that zombies are real, you have to make a second, that they then cause a zombie apocalypse. That's part of the very basic requirements for any but the most limited zombie stories to work well.

There's a lawyer on this page. The post actually cost him 6 minutes.

Then you kind of run into the problem of how it ever got to that point when there should be fresh supplies of kamikazes for a while.
and it's something that is quite the weakness for those stories.
Yeah but it doesn't have wifi so how can I [chat]?
also my country is zombie-proof
I'm in the neighbouring county of the one I grew up in
going home for a visit takes five hours with bus and two ferries.
And yet neither appears to stock guns for some reason.
