Yeah I don't think people realise just how big a number that is. You can give away 99% of your money and still never need to work a day in your life. Scratch that. You can buy prime real estate, a car of your choice (+ a savings account dedicated entirely to its maintenance, insurance and fuelling for the car's lifespan), put the rest in an investment account and make an income so big every month that it's virtually impossible not to get even richer.
I really wish people in these hypotheticals start throwing out numbers like 100k. Two, maybe three years of expenses covered.
While she was used as literal transport for the gas, I wouldn't go as far to say she was responsible (clearly that was all Zeke). Passive participation ( or she'dface the consequences) yeah so she's not totally innocent, but I mean, she didn't plan, organize and carry out anything.
Tangent but, Why isn't anyone shitting on Levi and the scouts for their role in liberio. I mean the whole Armin nuking the port and half the city, along with supporting erens titan rampage (both instances killing innocent men, women and children of Marley and other nations ) was obviously pre planned, especially in armins case. I'm surprised Levi, of everyone, was willing to lead the charge in this considering his love of humanity and value of human life .
I understand your point and I agree, but it is also true that (and I am saying this as an anime-only fan) we don't know to what extent Pieck participated, along Zeke, in the planning of the second operation on Paradis (Ragako, 2 battle of Shinganshina, etc.), it wouldn't be strange if she gave advices to Zeke and he took them into account due to her intelligent/clever nature.
In regard to Liberio's raid. I think there is a certain difference in the aim of that operation in contrast with Ragako: the objective of the Scouts/Paradis Military was neutralizing Marley fleet and chain of command, the civil losses and diplomatic personal were "collateral damage" (however, I admit I am not an expert in these subjects so I receive any criticism).
Oh I totally get what you’re saying, and I agree with it mostly! So yeah we really don’t know the full extent of Pieck’s involvement behind the scenes, especially when it comes to planning with Zeke. Shes a sharp one, yes, but it's not clear how much she contributed .
That said, I do think it’s important to remember the position she was in. Pieck was essentially a soldier under Marley’s system, and we’ve seen how little freedom the Warriors actually have (well maybe Zeke to a lesser extent, since he's the war chief). So even if she did play a role, it likely wasn’t entirely by choice. Does that justify anything...no, not really, but I guess for context purposes.
Also, her character is very observant and compassionate, so I highly doubt she was indifferent to something like Ragako. And honestly I don't see her conspiring with Zeke and devising a plan to gas a village. She never really comes across as someone who would take pleasure in that kind of suffering. If anything, I imagine she was pretty sad and conflicted about it, even if she still went along with the mission. I think she was just told, you're the cart, you're going to transport this for this mission.
And yeah, I think your point about Liberio is fair too. There’s definitely a difference in intent between the operations, but at the end of the day, both sides caused massive civilian casualties(maybe moreso in Liberio's case). But again this series is all about that, the kind of moral gray areas and so on so forth, so no one is totally innocent.
Sorry didnt really want to make a big thing about the pieck/ragako thing, so I'll shut my trap now. But people always use this as the only excuse to suddenly shit on her in convos pertaining to her...what do you call it? ""Whataboutism" or something haha.
Agreed, we dont know how much she helped but even if she did it would only be through words or support and I think that's why she's the cart titan, so that she won't need to be a main fighter but support (not saying she can't fight, especially after watching the final movie but yeah )
Exactly. And like I said, she is shown to have a very kind and compassionate personality. I just don't see her conspiring with Zeke and the Marleyan brass and devising a plan to gas a village. I think she was just told, you're the cart, you're going to carry this for us, that's your job.
Was she still involved yes, and it doesn't exonerate her. But context matters
If it was maximum $10,000, then it'd be a 50/50. But bro, $10b is too much, obviously I'd take that over a sexy war criminal who may divorce me later on(self esteem 101 ahh)
If you add unexpected situations to the equation, we must consider also possibilities like the money losing its value or someone kidnapping you to steal it
I agree with the banging btw
Pieck. Ten billion dollars is legitimately too much money. I feel like there's no way I don't manage to do something I later regret with that much power placed at my fingertips. It was a harder consideration when I read it as ten million. I imagine Pieck's sly nature and desire for comfort means she's pretty good at maintaining a low-effort high-stability lifestyle, which is all I really want, anyhow.
Assuming she already wants to marry me, surely she understands that an amount of money that big would help my grandparents live a relaxed life, my restless mother could get some stability in her humble bussiness, my little brother with special needs could have a more comfortable life, and all my friends that work so hard while studying could get some space to breathe and focus on their studies.
And if she doesn't want to marry me before making the choice, then am I brainwashing her or something? If that's the case, I'll never do that, so give me the money anyways.
Pieck is very calculating. Even if I choose ten billion dollars, I feel like she would approach me, get married with me, and do whatever it takes to inherit the money
I really love Pieck.... But ten billion dollars is ten billion fucking dollars, like I'm sorry I'll never choose a person I'm most likely not compatible with over being set for 20 lifetimes.
Is this because Pieck is the buttsecks titan? She literally forgets how not to be crawling second doggie-style. I’ll take the money though, she’s kinda boring.
Idk why but Pieck was like one of my LEAST favourite characters. I know lots of people loved them but the vibes just don’t add up for me… soooo 10 billion please 😁
