Origin stories are quite a debated topics as most people seem to argue whether if it’s needed or not. Most of us my points were said by you, thus I’ll just give a little bit of my opinion.

Origin stories although aren’t needed, are just plain fun to have especially if you have a well constructed and well developed character, as not only will this add more charisma towards the character and also increases its appeal towards them, it’s just generally dumb fun to see the origins of where your character come from.

Really solid break down. I’m pretty sure you are familiar with Friedrich Nietzsche famous quote from Beyond Good and Evil, “He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And if you gaze into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.”

It’s really one of my favourite quotes as it really makes you question the morality of your actions between you and your enemy. It really makes you feel uncertain about your actions as no matter how moral or just one may feel, sometimes, they are the biggest monsters.

Attack on Titan is something that I’ll say as a pretty interesting show, and not just from its main cast and story alone. It’s amazing world building really allows it’s characters to flush out their true colours while also allowing a great lore to develop to allow hard core fans geek over the amazing detailed writing on how it’s characters are in the current situation are and all the conflicts and actions of their ancestors that brought them to their current situation. Although people may call it overrated, I personally think Attack on Titan still deserve more credit than people give it.
