chiearlymorning said:So in my opinion the quality of writing decreased since chapter 124 (with the exception of chapter 131), with the alliance chapters just feeling very forcedand the plot not feeling as interesting. If you were to write the rumbling arc, how would you improve it?
Yeah, the characters were forced to team up as Eren was already making his move to genocide the entire world, so yes they were forced to throw their differences aside to save the world. Isayama did a decent job for them to let out their frustration and their difference aside, but with limited time they didn't have a choice but to work together. That is why it felt forced to you, but in a real world situation where the entire world may be destroy, China, Russia, North Korea, US etc and all nation will join forces without hesitation despite their hatred against each other. So you need to be realistic here that the author doesn't need 20+ chapters or how many you think it needs for them to join forces when a pending doom is already happening in real time.
the plot not feeling as interesting
Yeah its not as interesting as the previous arc because its a simple scenario we are in, the alliance vs Eren that's it, most of the plot twist the interesting dialogue between Reiner and Eren etc are not going to be present in this final plot line as it is simple to stop Eren, the interesting thing is how it will end.
Give Historia a bigger role to play
She has a very big role in the finale and the final chapter panel is the biggest clue to that, also she is queen she wont be in any battle, what did you expect? And obviously Isayama is hiding her point of view as it has something to with Eren, I feel I know what it is, but we will see.
Make Connie have an actual motivation to "save the world"
Connie motivation is the same as everyone motivation is to stop Eren from doing mass genocide, you don't need any motivation to save the world, wtf? lol
Have Levi confront Annie for killing his squad
Lame, what will that do? They all know the situation the warriors are in, no need for that at all.
Make Yelena and Kiyomi actual characters in the story
I actually like Yelena and many will agree with me, so I can't relate to this comment, Kiyomi is pure plot device and I'm ok with that, she is from a different Country and she is really not someone that the viewers need to like at all. She is in it for business and that's all.
Make Armin come up with a plan
But he did come up with a plan, remember he drew Eren titan and told them how they will attack him.
Make the flying titan less of an asspull
Yes, this is one I kinda agree with you, though his name being Falco and one of the Marley Soldier asking if their is any titans with wings? was a hint in retrospect of we seeing a flying titan, honestly though, its not a big deal for me tbh.
Make Pixis and Nile play an important role instead of killing them off
Nah, I don't see what more can they do? the battle is out side of Paradise, meaning we wont be seeing paradise island point of view anymore and these characters can't fight so what would they do if they were still alive? So its either kill them or let them live, that's all.
Make Hange give alternative solutions to the rumbling
Can you think of an alternate solution to the rumbling, that hanji can realistically come up with? I don't think so as none of us can really come up with a solution either, and Hanji even admitted that she doesn't have a solution which makes sense because none of us too can't find a solution that will stop this, but again genocide is bad and she wont be able to sleep at night knowing billions of innocent people dying and she didn't even try to stop it, you guys are not even looking at it in that perspective, you guys are making it sound like killing 99% of the population is a no brainer for Hanji and company, but it is not.
You can make your own fanfic of the rumbling arc, where the scouting join Eren and help him destroy all of humanity since that makes more sense to you.
That would be bad writing and against those characters, but to you its only bad writing if you don't like it, and Isayama would definitely look like a facist if the development was like that pure black and white, it would just seem like Isayama is forcing it down our throat if the viewers didn't get to choose which side they are on, this debate is interesting because it split the fanbase and hows the morality in all of us, it this is a more interesting scenario than whatever you are thinking of.
I'm tired of you readers that can't see the big picture here.
