[SPLIT LIP]

Wong didn't slap him, though, he just kicked the shit out of him.

That's not getting through to anyone. Maybe in a bizzare, inhuman world of aliens maybe, but with real people you can't savagely beat someone and expect them to come around. (as shown by the fact that Kamille didn't come around) Let alone an angsty, clearly emotionally stunted child. You're just going to turn him into a barely functional sociopath who only responds to and with violence.

I can only assume, given his history with depression, Tomino was not in a wholey stable state of mind when writing this show and it shows. The people don't interact like people, they interact like conflicting, volitile emotions that react violently when they come in contact with each other.

The show definitely feels sloggy right now. I don't know what the ultimate goal is, (defeat the Titans I think) or what sort of paths anyone's really one. I don't know if Kamille is in a coming of age story that will change him, or if his ideals are being tested and he's going to stick by his beliefs and not change. Nobody else even has a story. The one girl who defected from the Titans did so so quickly and smoothly I wasn't even aware of the transition. She's just with the AEUG now, with barely a distrusting look. In fact she's more welcome and supported than Kamille is.

It's so weird and... alien.
