When I read the manga I thought that the ending was fine and I generally liked where the series went. Isayama's writing is very impressive and I could've never predicted where the story was going when I first started watching the show.

That being said I did love the hype that I got from the earlier seasons as well, the later seasons of AOT recontextualize everything and it feels like an almost entirely different show now (not in a bad way, but it's a little bit bittersweet imo).

I have this secret wish and sometimes think what the show would have been like if we would have just gotten a generic action shounen from it instead. Like basically about everything from season 2 and onwards would be rewritten. And specifically:
 

Do you guys ever feel like you would kind of want to see how the story would have unfolded if it went like that instead?

I think it would've been so much better if the show really ended when they reached the basement and got the information about the world. It would be "now live with this information and think whatever you want"
If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time.

Watch more movies, please.

Perhaps, this is hell.

That would be one giant open ending lol :D though that would leave a lot of room for interpretation

Man, it's 2023 now and I am genuinely tired of seeing the same take everytime. "AoT should have ended at s3" Do you realise that it would be the most illogical thing? And are you basically saying that you only cared about the mystery of the Titans and nothing else in the show lol?
Because if the show would have ended at s3p2, then what about Eren's character conclusion? What about his vow to end the Titan domination? What about his desire to see the outside world? What about the events which are supposed to take place after the basement reveal? What about the rest of the cast and their respective character conclusions and the Marley warriors backstories? What about Levi's goal to kill Zeke? So many things would have been left unanswered or ignored if that would have been the case.

I respectfully disagree and I am glad that the story didn't head in that direction otherwise it would have been yet another typical battle shounen post apocalyptic survival show and not anything special.(for me atleast)

Though I am still not against that possibility as it would be great to see how Yams would have handled the story in that case, given the fact that he is such a talented author and the dude literally started writing AoT when he was just 19. So yeah he would have delivered peak content nonetheless.

Bro, there is no Alternative

People who dislike the ending/series simply lack the reading comprehension skills required to understand the utter nuances and intricacies required to understand the intricately woven plot by Isayama.

They jus unable to apprehend to comprehend to fathom to perceive the utter complexities of AoT & the messages it portrayed and conveyed in chapter 139.


Isayama pre-planned everything from the very beginning and foreshadowed them.

If you think about the alternative you jus didn't understand the story.

The story is not about
Keeping the children out of the forest,
Children surpassing their previous generation.
It's not about ending the cycle of hatred.
It's not about creating a safe World for the people of Paradis.
It's not about Eldia/Paradis.

It's about Love 💕
It's about humanity
It's about ending the curse of the Titans by

I just checked your anime list out of curiosity and I see that you have given a 3 to S3 and a 2 to S4. Lmao are you actually serious? And if so, then there is no use arguing because your opinion is already invalid. You must be one of those typical mass review bombers who think they are seen as someone really cool by giving such ridiculous ratings.
How is he a review bomber, he actually rated from 1-10 using a full scale, so his ratings actually have meaning. Look at you, 95% of everything that you rate is rated 5+, of course normal scores look ridiculous to you, you forgot that numbers below 5 exist

No Mr. I didn't forget anything. I rate shows on enjoyment factor and so why would I usually rate any show below a 5 if I didn't enjoy it? I only do that in case if its genuinely bad (for me obviously). And you are speaking with such confidence as if it's necessary for someone or they are entitled to give many series anything below a 5 frequently otherwise they have no idea about how the scoring system works or their scores don't have any meaning or they aren't using a full-scale rating system to rate shows or the normal scores are ridiculous for them, right? Also, I never knew that a score below 5 is regarded as a 'normal score'. This is new for me and Ig I'll keep it in mind from ny next time.

And if you look closely at his list, you can see he has given a 1 to Bleach tybw (after 8 epi), TR S2 a 1 (after just the 1st epi) and TR S1, Naruto, OPM, Mushoku - all 1 stars. I mean I have nothing personal against anyone and I am not nitpicking about every single score, nor do I care but I just saw his ratings of the generally popular series out there and that's why I said that. And this is only about the popular series only. I am not even talking about others series here.
Anyways, these are mere numbers at the end of the day and don't hold much value for me. And so to avoid any more confusion about this, I won't bring in this personal ratings thing anymore in any argument because I genuinely don't get how some users rate series nor am I interested in doing so. I know I might be sounding a bit contradictory but yeah my bad.

Bro he is talking about AoT
Every season, every medium related to AoT is a solid 9/10.

How is AoT S3 part 1 a 7/10?
I think you didn't understand the plot and the way the mystery/story unfolded in S3 part 1.

Your opinion about AoT says about you.

I recommend you to re-watch AoT.

Will you stop speaking on my behalf and about something you don't understand? And I never said any of that bs. Stop spreading misinformation about me. I know you are a troll account whose sole mission in life is to troll on AoT, but that doesn't mean that you have the right to trash talk about the users as well. I mean whatever I do, why are you so bothered by it? and it must be none of your business to begin with.

No hard feelings bro, I just wanted to show you that some people rate differently, so their scores might be ridiculous at first glance, but everyone makes their sense of scores at the end of the day

Yeah same no hard feelings here too dude and no problem, I know what you were trying to say there. I might have worded it incorrectly and maybe that's why it was bound to be misinterpreted by anyone.
