Second “Attack on Titan” Season 2 Trailer is an All Out War!
After a nearly three-year long wait, FUNimation is finally continuing the animated epic “Attack on Titan”, streaming on service like Hulu and Netflix.
In the show, “After his hometown is destroyed and his mother is killed, young Eren Jaegar vows to cleanse the earth of the giant humanoid Titans that have brought humanity to the brink of extinction.”
A lot of was revealed in the inaugural season, but there were a ton of questions left unanswered.
We now have the second trailer for Season Two, which is said to arrive in April of 2017. It shows an evolution to the Titans, which appear more monstrous than ever. One of the biggest reveals, however, is that we learn that many of the Titans are good and helping to stop the bad giants from total destruction. Also, humans absorb directly into Titans and then transform! Make sure you turn on auto-translate English subs.
“Attack on Titan” is more than just entertaining, it’s also socially relevant and has a lot to say about today’s society. After 25 episodes in Season One, it’ll be interesting to see if they can keep it interesting for 25 more (that’s a lot of television).
The best part about engaging with collaborative genre fiction on the internet is that anyone can get in on the action, with worldwide accessibility often resulting in absurd story beats that wouldn’t be possible if any single person was responsible for the entire narrative. And while Kane Parsons’ Backrooms film is definitely the young filmmaker’s own unique take on the infamous creepypasta, it’s fun to see other creators join the Backrooms sandbox now that the big screen adaptation is getting ready for a record-shattering opening weekend.
As if cleverly timed releases like Puppet Combo’s The Backrooms game weren’t enough (not to mention that Scary Movie poster poking fun at Parsons’ flick), McDonald’s official social media accounts have now released an analog horror video of their own celebrating the liminal terrors of the McRooms – complete with a familiar purple surprise at the end of the footage.
While it’s funny enough to see the world’s most recognizable Fast Food giant engage with internet-borne Found Footage thrills seemingly out of the blue, the video is actually referencing a long-running gag among the Backrooms fandom where creators jokingly talk about there being a fully functional McDonald’s restaurant hidden somewhere in level 0 of the infamous liminal labyrinth.
Now, would it be too much to hope for a moist-carpet-flavored McShake to tie in with the film?
Backrooms is now playing only in theaters from A24.
