Eren is a great character but definitely not one the best shonen protagonist
That title either belongs to Luffy or Gintoki
(from the popular once)
And the fans of aot overhyped everything so just ignore them

after chapter 139 eren's whole character seems like joke now, idk if people still consider him best shonen protagonist, if they do, they are either acting blind to please the fanbase, or they are just dumb.

You're not alone , he's just a dude who's edgy and because he looks kinda cool and was given titan powers , the fans are loosing their shit calling this painfully average character a " Chad king " . Also he's kind of like Adolf Hitler so I wonder why people still like him.

He got cool and edgy in one season and the fans are going crazy. He is definitely not bad but he is nowhere near the best shounen mc. He is just Hella overrated. I agree with you

We waited for 400 episodes to see a bit of Luffy's character development and people think it's great like that while it could be more better if it was sooner at 200 episodes at most.
While Eren has become a real strong protagonist after just 50 episodes perfectly with all the sacrifices needed for it .

Eren as a shounen protag is flawed in so many aspects. But, he's way more interesting than most shounen protags, and develops in such an organic way, sadly his development could've seeped a bit longer, but nonetheless, his character had stuck the landing in a way that would leave some people hurt, and others pleasantly surprised. So, eventho he ain't the best written character in the shounen formula or overall fiction, he is a fleshed out human character, who we've seen struggled and hated himself.

Personally i think eren is a great character and a good written mc but i do agree that his fans do over analyse him and make him out to be something he isn’t. I think that if attack on titan was more of a unknown anime and didn’t have much of a fan base erens character analysis would be a lot more explained better and not over analysed. I think that it’s the fanboys that have ruined his character and that’s why people see him more of not a “great character”. I hope that makes sense, i’m terrible at explaining things.

not liking something is natural and fandom forcing it makes it even worse thats the main problem with AOT fandom , i see why you don't like him thats okay and Fandom is overreacting too....

Seems like attack on Titan get too much hate after the ending,if you hate Eren or you hate aot or didn't like Eren and aot It's fine bro,Eren was the one of the best character for a reason,tell me any aot character is better than Eren in the manga before 139.If you think aot is overhyped or overrated It's fine.Seems like this thread is just full of Eren haters,in reality no one better written than Eren in aot, even YouTubers,Twitter user's, Instagram user's when Eren reach the peaks,they are praise Eren so much.Eren is never changed,his still the same from the start until the end.If you say so wait till S4 part 2 come out,It's your opinion i respect it,but when you said Eren is not great character,you wrong,whos great character in aot besides Reiner Eren and zeke.

*****AOT ENDING SPOILERS******
Let me spice up more bad stuff on this chapter.
>ymir likes Karl fritz, the guy who murdered her parents, pokes her eye, raped her, abused her but STILL loves him for 2000 years
>eren just said "idk" reducing his character to a plot device in the end and that's the pay off and the conclusion to the main character of this series and then SUDDENLY likes mikasa while ignoring her chapter 1-138?
>how did mikasa walk back all the way to paradise? When every ship and transportation was destroyed by the rumbling wouldn't that rotten erens head?
>Annie got off easy after murdering those survey corps and especially Petra's friends.
Levi is so pissed at Zeke even if they're just having a conversation and for Annie Levi kinda forgot? Hmm..
>eren destroyed 80℅ of humanity and the 1-2℅ are Paradise while the rest 18℅ are the outside world, wrens plan was to secure and guarantee paradise future and YET he left them with 200-500 million people angry because they themselves almost witnessed being stomp and did you see the steam ship with the alliance insidei in chapter 139? That means the outside world has industries capable of making weapons and advanced tech (keep in mind paradise is 100-50 years behind in technology) so that means they are capable of launching a full scale attack in 5-10 years. Paradise is doomed, no engineers, not enough man power.
>how is historia still alive? Yeagerist literally killed every survey corp leader and yet they follow her? Hmmm... What is her authority aside from title alone? People already flocked to the nationalist aka yeagerist and what if they are using historia as a trap to set up the alliance and ambush them and ultimately killing them in the process?
That means eren failed to save his friends since earlier they fought against the yeageeist.
>How was the founding titan passed. I mean wouldn't her daughter's feasting on ymir give everyone the founding titan power.
>How in world would just titan cease to exist I mean it came to existence through spinal fluid absorption so why would they even disappear just by a weird fetish being fulfilled.
>Armin and co killing the yeagerist for there selfish belief of saving only Paradis but then later kinda accepting Eren did all the genocide for his friends. How is that any different that's just hypocrisy at it's finest.

I mean I don't need a good ending atleast a one where the plots are explained. That's why I felt the script was just picked out off a trash can.

you are literally right in most of the points but I don't agree that eren wanted to kill 80% of humanity, eren saw that he will be killed by Mikasa before he finishes rumbling and there is nothing he can do cause he can't change the future, he fought against them with his all (saying this feels totally dumb but that's what isayama wanted to show) this feel sad as a fan that isayama failed to show what he actually had in mind and yes even being a fan I accept he fucked up in the end. Even after ch138 he can change things but..... Whatever

Because Toei's pacing is trash, theres a thing called "One Pace" which fans edited the episodes, took out the unecessary fillers in each episodes, and it made the whole One Piece episode (992) into only 300+.

> Titan power is just godlike so maybe its upto the wielder Ymir to keep it or leave it , its the same as "how a centipede can create a place like PATHS"..... I mean its power is godlevel you can ignore that much..

>Armin never accepted Eren doing the rumbling its just that he appreciated Eren's sacrifice he made for his friends...... If he had a second chance to stop him after his chat he definitely would have stopped him

If you ignore the last chapter, Eren is truly a great character. But best of all time? Not even close. To me, Lelouch is a far better protagonist because he already had things planned and was the mastermind of controlling his subordinates. He did screw up a lot but not in the way Eren did. I understood Lelouch's intentions better to be honest. Even though his character was complicated at times, it was obvious what side of the fence he was on. With Eren, it was more vague.

Naah his character was fine until 132-134 and yes he hated himself for doing a genocide but all of that disappears in 139 he literally becomes a joke. Suddenly gets feeling for the girl he's been ignoring
Says that he didn't know why he did the rumbling
Forgets everything about freedom and cries over Mikasa
His peak moments which were in paths hold no weight now .
He literally became the best meme

The only difference with Levi is that whilst the hype for him was huge during Season 3, there were very, very rarely any comments bragging about him being the best anime character ever. Some did say he was one of the best characters, but compared to Eren, it was very minimal. The hype for Eren is insane. I've seen a lot of staunch Eren fans (some not all) hating on other anime characters like Lelouch, Light, Luffy, Goku, Killua, Giorno etc. all of these which I think are better characters. It's because Attack on Titan is now the biggest trending anime as of now so the delusion is at it's highest peak. You can still have huge praise for a character and respect other anime protagonists, instead of downgrading them. Eren hasn't moved up to the top 10 yet and his fans were saying that would happen with Season 4 part 1. Part 1 has been and gone and he hasn't got to that position yet. Season 3 Part 2 also has a much higher rating. But Season 4 part 2 may be amazing and might make it to the top 10, hopefully Mappa will get credit for their animated sequence and story, instead of the nasty threats they got last time.

For real, he's mostly been taking actions only because of the plot. I wish the author would've given more freedom to his character when it comes to taking actions. I see him more as a plot device rather than an actual character. Heck, Season 1 Eren was definitely much better imo because he at least had some personality compared to new Eren as the past Eren was taking actions of his own free will compared to new Eren.
Big apologies for my weird wording. I'm just in a hurry.

You got the meaning of "Protagonist" totally wrong. A protagonist is the one who is the main character even if he is a villain or a hero. An Antagonist is the one who is AGAINST the protagonist even if he is a villain or a hero.

Maybe you don't like his personality but arguably he and reiner had the best character development in the entire series( though i prefer eren character development more unlike reiner's)

These are the characters I think have the best development, in order: Reiner, Eren, Erwin, Zeke, Levi, Historia, Armin, Hange and Jean. Personally I prefer Reiner because I find him more relatable.

Well she's definitely not one of the best developed, that's for sure. I don't think she's poorly written though.Just very lackluster.

You put that very nicely and you've been very reasonable. Thank you for that. I said this before and got attacked by a few rabid fans.

Don't get me wrong at all,I really like him and he's one of my favourites, but his fans keep insisting he's the best anime protagonist of all time and I completely fail to see that. And they've downrated other Shounen characters. How can you compare ONE season of character development to over 100 episodes for Luffy, or 3 whole seasons for Lelouch? I honestly think people are getting so carried away and there's a reason why people think the AOT fanbase is obnoxious. People complain about Levi but at least Levi's popularity came naturally, whilst people are literally forcing Eren's popularity and are angry he isn't in the top 10. Also because of the huge controversy in the last few chapters, that also doesn't make for best character writing or best development. Is he a well written character? Definitely. But when there is a lot of vagueness surrounding his character, I don't get why the hype has gone way beyond belief.
Lelouch is a much better character to me.

the fans like me who thought he was the best was before 139 destroyed him . But still I never believed he was the best but said he had the potential to be among those GOAT characters like guts , thorfinn , Miyamoto mushashi , lelouch etc . Even if not among those , still one of the best in all of shounen . But yeah almost all characters except Erwin are are just boring in aot . Armin was good till s3p2 . Never liked mikasa , hange was killed off for no reason . Levi deserved a good death instead he was kept alive . Reiner sniffing letters ( he has the potential to be one of the best) . Zeke had good character development but his death was kinda shit honestly . Could have given him better end . Annie idc about her she met her father all good , Gabi is a good written character except aimbot , Falco broken powers given due to plot armor , floch again a well written character . Jean a well written character but deserved better . Overall of all the characters in aot my favourite one would be be Levi<Jean<Reiner<Zeke<floch<Erwin and eren at top if considered till chapter 131

Am I the only one who thinks Eren isn't that great of a character?
