Okay, this might seem old, I mean people defending the ending and all, but if there are people out there still making jokes on the ending, then there will definitely be people like me defending it. And this is just a small scale example of the message isayama imparted at the end of attack on titan and mostly during the entire story. I have got nothing against people who didn't like the ending, cuz i respect opinions. But opinions can't be respected if someone doesn't understand the subject before making an opinion on the same. Someone come at me and show me they understood everything that happened in the ending and how isayama connected it to everything that happened before, but they still didn't like it, I'll agree. So here's my stance on the ending. The message isayama imparted was humanity's greed will never end. "Humanity will fight until there's one person left" as quoted in one the eps by Erwin Smith. For the one's saying there was no point of eren's actions and paradis is not safe and they don't even have the power of the founder anymore, tell me how would you have liked it to end. And don't say by destroying 100% of humanity minus paradis would have been better. It's like a child saying to their sibling/friend- "If I don't have the same toy I will break your toys then". The point was that eren killed 80% of humanity and the world right now is on the same level as Paradise Island. The other nations are more busy standing up on their own two feet again rather than attacking paradis who are not even a threat anymore, certainly not the current generation. Saying eren may well have done nothing is just stupid. Many empires fell in the past in our world. So was it meaningless for the kings to win their fights and wars. Paradise enjoyed a long duration of peace before it was destroyed again. Paradise is like any other nation now and they are preparing their military for any future attack because, think about it, marley attacks other nations and tries to capture them using titans. Same things eldians did before. They are not the "devils" that the world should be afraid of but still they are attacked and captured by marley. So ofcourse even when the titan powers are eradicated, eldia is still not safe. But eren still solved the root cause of the problem that led to the eldian's demise. Even if the entire world doesn't change, there would be many that would accept paradis as a normal nation and won't bother to wage war with it anymore. Eren was never the peace preacher, he always wanted freedom. Wanting freedom and wanting peace are totally different. Who wanted peace then? It was Armin. And he became the ambassador whose actions and eren's actions together ensured around 6-7 or even more generations of peace without the walls. It doesn't matter who attacked paradise in those final extra pages. It could be marley, it could be some other nation, or it could be a faction of paradis which went rogue. The point is, humans will return to war. Eren saved his friends as he wanted to from the very beginning, armin tried to bring peace by talking it out and he got the results. It was foreshadowed in the episode MIDNIGHT SUN. Eren told Levi that armin will save the world and not him. In the episode ATTACK TITAN, Eren Kruger asked grisha to take the founder or else history will repeat itself. He was wrong. Well, the titan history didn't repeat itself, but humanity's history surely did. Eren was never the cliche-ed shounen protagonist who preached for peace and then achieved it by idealistic notions. Those who thought of eren as a badass who doesn't have feeling and killing the entire world would have been a better option, please go and watch DBZ, AoT is not for you. Eren is not a supersaiyan. He's a normal human being with emotions and flaws. For the ones who say that Eren's character was destroyed and Eren is a crybaby, to be honest he remained the same, the Eren that we saw in the final chapter was actually the same Eren all along. He was keeping his emotions in check that's all. That's the only thing that happened ..his character was never destroyed and for god's sake just think about it, he is still a 19 year old teenager. Everyone's for some reason fine when Reiner becomes a crybaby, when Reiner breaks down, when Reiner has a split personality, when the badass reiner we know and we saw for two seasons three seasons suddenly breaks down in episode 5 declaration of war we feel like "Oh he's one of the best written characters of all time" and suddenly when the main protagonist is breaking down after his actions which are far more worse and severe than Reiner's, everybody is like ErEn's ChaRacTEr iS RuiNed. And yeah, loving someone doesn't make you a simp. Eren sacrificed his own feelings for the sake of his friends and paradis. He would have been a simp if he had chosen mikasa over his dream of freedom. He chose his dream and death before his love, if that makes him a simp then the one's calling him a simp are not ready for the depth and complexity of this series and don't understand anything about eren's character. AoT has always been realistic and the ending was the most realistic of it all. Eren broke down and shared his feelings with his best friend because he is a flawed human who has taken over all the burden of this world on his shoulders. And he erases armin's memory after breaking down infront of him. If people think this is funny then I'm sorry you don't deserve AoT. In the end, the cycle of humanity goes on, the source of all living matter remains. Ymir was too submissive and eren was the opposite. Both were not the solution, now the child will try in thier own way. AoT is just one story out of the long history of humanity. There are nations in our world which got independence 60-70 years ago. Imagine if they are attacked and then majority of it is destroyed in a war. Would you say those 60-70 years of freedom meant nothing? Sometimes people need to sit back and think, that the guy who was praised to be a genius till 138 is the same guy who wrote 139. He cannot be stupid enough to write meaningless things for the last chapter. How fragile is the belief that you all had on isayama. Like seriously...gone in an instant. Never did anyone try to think "maybe I'm not getting the full picture here...maybe i need to understand eren's character a bit better"...10% of the fanbase went nuts and cried out "Aot ending is trash" and another 50-60% just jumped on the aot ending hate bandwagon... Like seriously. Which brings me to the example i talked about at the start of my rant which lined up with the message isayama tried to impart in the end "Humanity will fight forever". The AoT fanbase is just a small scale example of it. If eren had destroyed 100% of the world minus paradis which surely would have been stupid as hell, people who defend the original ending would have gone mad and this fanbase, majority of which is dumb and twisted would have defended the ending. Also many are butthurt because the ending didn't turn out like they expected. I saw comments like "chapter 139 is going to have the biggest plot twist ever and eren would survive" after 138. And that didn't happen. If it had happened, the same guys would have said "The ending was too predictable." As if so many plot twists weren't enough. See now? We will keep fighting. The fanbase literally is the personification of the ending isayama gave us. |

I didnt read the whole paragraph Personally atleat for me the ending was not a prob It's pretty predictable and basic But that doesn't make up for the plot holes in the final arc |

People didn't have that much of a problem with the plotholes than with the ending. And i agree the ending was predictable and basic but it's fine. With all the twists we got in the series i think a basic ending is enough which wraps up the story. People for some reason just assumed there's going to be a huge twist or whatever. |

Well, the titan history didn't repeat itself, but humanity's history surely did. Eren was never the cliche-ed shounen protagonist who preached for peace and then achieved it by idealistic notions. Those who thought of eren as a badass who doesn't have feeling and killing the entire world would have been a better option, please go and watch DBZ, AoT is not for you. Eren is not a supersaiyan. He's a normal human being with emotions and flaws. For the ones who say that Eren's character was destroyed and Eren is a crybaby, to be honest he remained the same, the Eren that we saw in the final chapter was actually the same Eren all along. He was keeping his emotions in check that's all. That's the only thing that happened ..his character was never destroyed and for god's sake just think about it, he is still a 19 year old teenager. Everyone's for some reason fine when Reiner becomes a crybaby, when Reiner breaks down, when Reiner has a split personality, when the badass reiner we know and we saw for two seasons three seasons suddenly breaks down in episode 5 declaration of war we feel like "Oh he's one of the best written characters of all time" and suddenly when the main protagonist is breaking down after his actions which are far more worse and severe than Reiner's, everybody is like ErEn's ChaRacTEr iS RuiNed. And yeah, loving someone doesn't make you a simp. Eren sacrificed his own feelings for the sake of his friends and paradis. He would have been a simp if he had chosen mikasa over his dream of freedom. He chose his dream and death before his love, if that makes him a simp then the one's calling him a simp are not ready for the depth and complexity of this series and don't understand anything about eren's character. AoT has always been realistic and the ending was the most realistic of it all. Eren broke down and shared his feelings with his best friend because he is a flawed human who has taken over all the burden of this world on his shoulders. And he erases armin's memory after breaking down infront of him. If people think this is funny then I'm sorry you don't deserve AoT. In the end, the cycle of humanity goes on, the source of all living matter remains. Ymir was too submissive and eren was the opposite. Both were not the solution, now the child will try in thier own way. AoT is just one story out of the long history of humanity. There are nations in our world which got independence 60-70 years ago. Imagine if they are attacked and then majority of it is destroyed in a war. Would you say those 60-70 years of freedom meant nothing? Sometimes people need to sit back and think, that the guy who was praised to be a genius till 138 is the same guy who wrote 139. He cannot be stupid enough to write meaningless things for the last chapter. How fragile is the belief that you all had on isayama. Like seriously...gone in an instant. Never did anyone try to think "maybe I'm not getting the full picture here...maybe i need to understand eren's character a bit better"...10% of the fanbase went nuts and cried out "Aot ending is trash" and another 50-60% just jumped on the aot ending hate bandwagon... Like seriously. Which brings me to the example i talked about at the start of my rant which lined up with the message isayama tried to impart in the end "Humanity will fight forever". The AoT fanbase is just a small scale example of it. If eren had destroyed 100% of the world minus paradis which surely would have been stupid as hell, people who defend the original ending would have gone mad and this fanbase, majority of which is dumb and twisted would have defended the ending. Also many are butthurt because the ending didn't turn out like they expected. I saw comments like "chapter 139 is going to have the biggest plot twist ever and eren would survive" after 138. And that didn't happen. If it had happened, the same guys would have said "The ending was too predictable." As if so many plot twists weren't enough. See now? We will keep fighting. The fanbase literally is the personification of the ending isayama gave us. I didnt read the whole thing Personally atleat for me the ending was not a prob It's pretty predictable and basic But that doesn't make up for the plot holes in the final arc The plotholes one is for another discussion thread. People didn't have that much of a problem with the plotholes than with the ending. And i agree the ending was predictable and basic but it's fine. With all the twists we got in the series i think a basic ending is enough which wraps up the story. People for some reason just assumed there's going to be a huge twist or whatever. So we are just going to ignore all the idiocy which was written? |

I have got nothing against people who didn't like the ending, cuz i respect opinions. But opinions can't be respected if someone doesn't understand the subject before making an opinion on the same. Someone come at me and show me they understood everything that happened in the ending and how isayama connected it to everything that happened before, but they still didn't like it, I'll agree. So here's my stance on the ending. The message isayama imparted was humanity's greed will never end. "Humanity will fight until there's one person left" as quoted in one the eps by Erwin Smith. For the one's saying there was no point of eren's actions and paradis is not safe and they don't even have the power of the founder anymore, tell me how would you have liked it to end. And don't say by destroying 100% of humanity minus paradis would have been better. It's like a child saying to their sibling/friend- "If I don't have the same toy I will break your toys then". The point was that eren killed 80% of humanity and the world right now is on the same level as Paradise Island. The other nations are more busy standing up on their own two feet again rather than attacking paradis who are not even a threat anymore, certainly not the current generation. Saying eren may well have done nothing is just stupid. Many empires fell in the past in our world. So was it meaningless for the kings to win their fights and wars. Paradise enjoyed a long duration of peace before it was destroyed again. Paradise is like any other nation now and they are preparing their military for any future attack because, think about it, marley attacks other nations and tries to capture them using titans. Same things eldians did before. They are not the "devils" that the world should be afraid of but still they are attacked and captured by marley. So ofcourse even when the titan powers are eradicated, eldia is still not safe. But eren still solved the root cause of the problem that led to the eldian's demise. Even if the entire world doesn't change, there would be many that would accept paradis as a normal nation and won't bother to wage war with it anymore. Eren was never the peace preacher, he always wanted freedom. Wanting freedom and wanting peace are totally different. Who wanted peace then? It was Armin. And he became the ambassador whose actions and eren's actions together ensured around 6-7 or even more generations of peace without the walls. It doesn't matter who attacked paradise in those final extra pages. It could be marley, it could be some other nation, or it could be a faction of paradis which went rogue. The point is, humans will return to war. Eren saved his friends as he wanted to from the very beginning, armin tried to bring peace by talking it out and he got the results. It was foreshadowed in the episode MIDNIGHT SUN. Eren told Levi that armin will save the world and not him. In the episode ATTACK TITAN, Eren Kruger asked grisha to take the founder or else history will repeat itself. He was wrong.

If you wanna discuss the plotholes so badly then just make one thread yourself. I would have done that in the future anyway. |

Speaking abt the ending Ending as in the ending is not a problem It is not bad at all It wasn't perfect But it was much better than some other anime endings But isayama said before writing the ending that he plans on killing all the characters and leaving the plot unfinished I think I would've been a bit more convinced with that one |

| I am not reading the whole thing my problem with ending is Ymir's character Eren's character change (he can love Mikasa but atleast don't make it the main focus in the fucking last chapter in a show which basically never focused on it) and don't say you don't know why you did it? If you have the resolve to kill all of humanity (nevermind he did not) then you should have strong basis for that resolve even junko had better answer for why she plunged the world in despair Titan power going because ymir was able to let of her feeling for king frize made no sense Founding titan memory manipulation should not work on ackerman A whole rumbling arc was disappointing |

I basically just wanted to answer to the jokes and one liners that people make like 'eren's character is ruined' bla bla....and regarding the thing you said and if its a legit news then i don't understand how that would have helped the plot anyway. How would Killing off everyone have resolved anything? Like fans ignorantly preach now that it was all for nothing, i feel like the ending you suggested would have made me feel that way. |

And don't say by destroying 100% of humanity minus paradis would have been better. It's like a child saying to their sibling/friend- "If I don't have the same toy I will break your toys then". The point was that eren killed 80% of humanity and the world right now is on the same level as Paradise Island. The other nations are more busy standing up on their own two feet again rather than attacking paradis who are not even a threat anymore, certainly not the current generation. Saying eren may well have done nothing is just stupid. Many empires fell in the past in our world. So was it meaningless for the kings to win their fights and wars. Paradise enjoyed a long duration of peace before it was destroyed again. Paradise is like any other nation now and they are preparing their military for any future attack because, think about it, marley attacks other nations and tries to capture them using titans. Same things eldians did before. They are not the "devils" that the world should be afraid of but still they are attacked and captured by marley. So ofcourse even when the titan powers are eradicated, eldia is still not safe. But eren still solved the root cause of the problem that led to the eldian's demise. Even if the entire world doesn't change, there would be many that would accept paradis as a normal nation and won't bother to wage war with it anymore. Eren was never the peace preacher, he always wanted freedom. Wanting freedom and wanting peace are totally different. Who wanted peace then? It was Armin. And he became the ambassador whose actions and eren's actions together ensured around 6-7 or even more generations of peace without the walls. It doesn't matter who attacked paradise in those final extra pages. It could be marley, it could be some other nation, or it could be a faction of paradis which went rogue. The point is, humans will return to war. Eren saved his friends as he wanted to from the very beginning, armin tried to bring peace by talking it out and he got the results. It was foreshadowed in the episode MIDNIGHT SUN. Eren told Levi that armin will save the world and not him. In the episode ATTACK TITAN, Eren Kruger asked grisha to take the founder or else history will repeat itself. He was wrong. Well, the titan history didn't repeat itself, but humanity's history surely did. Eren was never the cliche-ed shounen protagonist who preached for peace and then achieved it by idealistic notions. Those who thought of eren as a badass who doesn't have feeling and killing the entire world would have been a better option, please go and watch DBZ, AoT is not for you. Eren is not a supersaiyan. He's a normal human being with emotions and flaws. For the ones who say that Eren's character was destroyed and Eren is a crybaby, to be honest he remained the same, the Eren that we saw in the final chapter was actually the same Eren all along. He was keeping his emotions in check that's all. That's the only thing that happened ..his character was never destroyed and for god's sake just think about it, he is still a 19 year old teenager. Everyone's for some reason fine when Reiner becomes a crybaby, when Reiner breaks down, when Reiner has a split personality, when the badass reiner we know and we saw for two seasons three seasons suddenly breaks down in episode 5 declaration of war we feel like "Oh he's one of the best written characters of all time" and suddenly when the main protagonist is breaking down after his actions which are far more worse and severe than Reiner's, everybody is like ErEn's ChaRacTEr iS RuiNed. And yeah, loving someone doesn't make you a simp. Eren sacrificed his own feelings for the sake of his friends and paradis. He would have been a simp if he had chosen mikasa over his dream of freedom. He chose his dream and death before his love, if that makes him a simp then the one's calling him a simp are not ready for the depth and complexity of this series and don't understand anything about eren's character. AoT has always been realistic and the ending was the most realistic of it all. Eren broke down and shared his feelings with his best friend because he is a flawed human who has taken over all the burden of this world on his shoulders. And he erases armin's memory after breaking down infront of him. If people think this is funny then I'm sorry you don't deserve AoT. In the end, the cycle of humanity goes on, the source of all living matter remains. Ymir was too submissive and eren was the opposite. Both were not the solution, now the child will try in thier own way. AoT is just one story out of the long history of humanity. There are nations in our world which got independence 60-70 years ago. Imagine if they are attacked and then majority of it is destroyed in a war. Would you say those 60-70 years of freedom meant nothing? Sometimes people need to sit back and think, that the guy who was praised to be a genius till 138 is the same guy who wrote 139. He cannot be stupid enough to write meaningless things for the last chapter. How fragile is the belief that you all had on isayama. Like seriously...gone in an instant. Never did anyone try to think "maybe I'm not getting the full picture here...maybe i need to understand eren's character a bit better"...10% of the fanbase went nuts and cried out "Aot ending is trash" and another 50-60% just jumped on the aot ending hate bandwagon... Like seriously. Which brings me to the example i talked about at the start of my rant which lined up with the message isayama tried to impart in the end "Humanity will fight forever". The AoT fanbase is just a small scale example of it. If eren had destroyed 100% of the world minus paradis which surely would have been stupid as hell, people who defend the original ending would have gone mad and this fanbase, majority of which is dumb and twisted would have defended the ending. Also many are butthurt because the ending didn't turn out like they expected. I saw comments like "chapter 139 is going to have the biggest plot twist ever and eren would survive" after 138. And that didn't happen. If it had happened, the same guys would have said "The ending was too predictable." As if so many plot twists weren't enough. See now? We will keep fighting. The fanbase literally is the personification of the ending isayama gave us. I didnt read the whole thing Personally atleat for me the ending was not a prob It's pretty predictable and basic But that doesn't make up for the plot holes in the final arc The plotholes one is for another discussion thread. People didn't have that much of a problem with the plotholes than with the ending. And i agree the ending was predictable and basic but it's fine. With all the twists we got in the series i think a basic ending is enough which wraps up the story. People for some reason just assumed there's going to be a huge twist or whatever. So we are just going to ignore all the idiocy which was written? As i said plotholes are for another discussion... I'm talking about the ending here which is mostly 139. If you wanna discuss the plotholes so badly then just make ine thread yourself. I would have done that in the future anyway. Speaking abt the ending Ending as in the ending is not a problem It is not bad at all It wasn't perfect But it was much better than some other anime endings But isayama said before writing the ending that he plans on killing all the characters and leaving the plot unfinished I think I would've been a bit more convinced with that one I don't know if he really said that and I don't understand why he would make that public if its actually a legit news..but what i heard was that the ending would be sad and yes it was bitter sweet. I basically just wanted to answer to the jokes and one liners that people make like 'eren's character is ruined' bla bla....and regarding the thing you said and if its a legit news then i don't understand how that would have helped the plot anyway. How would Killing off everyone have resolved anything? Like fans ignorantly preach now that it was all for nothing, i feel like the ending you suggested would have made me feel that way. I've heard it from a u tube vid don't know if its legit or not |

And this is just a small scale example of the message isayama imparted at the end of attack on titan and mostly during the entire story. I have got nothing against people who didn't like the ending, cuz i respect opinions. But opinions can't be respected if someone doesn't understand the subject before making an opinion on the same. Someone come at me and show me they understood everything that happened in the ending and how isayama connected it to everything that happened before, but they still didn't like it, I'll agree.

If it had helped the plot in any way maybe i would have liked it. |

nolonger25 said: armong defender lmao. is this isayama himself? “eren was always like that!!!1!1!” yeah if you read with your eyes closed. i’m so sorry your self-insert got 7th in the final popularity poll :( Do you really think eren wanted to do all that he did? He had no choice. What i said was that he was the same eren all along the only difference being he was not so vocal about everything like he used to be before s4. He knew what he had to do and did it by keeping hos emotions in check. He didn't wanna do it but he had to. |

If you have the resolve to kill all of humanity (nevermind he did not) then you should have strong basis for that resolve even junko had better answer for why she plunged the world in despair Titan power going because ymir was able to let of her feeling for king frize made no sense Founding titan memory manipulation should not work on ackerman A whole rumbling arc was disappointing Imagine having millions of memories from the past and future dancing in your head and then you're asked to have the resolve to do mass genocide and save your people. Would you be able to do it by keeping track of everything. I do agree that dialogue execution could have been better which even isayama admitted to and i think the anime will fix it. And again, Eren's character didn't change...his mind was messed up...and ofcourse his love for mikasa wasn't the main focus of the chapter. Fans just made it the main focus. Lmao to this date their are fans who think eren is a bird. This fanbase is hopeless |

| Isayama doesn't even respect his own work by pulling so thicc plot armour in the final arc that too with full of plot holes. When there are other masterpiece manga present which are overshadowed by your manga,you can't just do whatever you want,it will be disrespectful to those manga |

Sam_Ackerman said: yeah...ik people are just shutting on the ending...yeah it is not the best or nowhere near the best...but c'mon the journey is more beautiful than the destination and for me...this was the best journey I ever had...yeah if the ending was a bit better that would have been amazing but nonetheless...it's isayama's story and if that's how he want to end it...I gladly accept :)Okay, this might seem old, I mean people defending the ending and all, but if there are people out there still making jokes on the ending, then there will definitely be people like me defending it. And this is just a small scale example of the message isayama imparted at the end of attack on titan and mostly during the entire story. I have got nothing against people who didn't like the ending, cuz i respect opinions. But opinions can't be respected if someone doesn't understand the subject before making an opinion on the same. Someone come at me and show me they understood everything that happened in the ending and how isayama connected it to everything that happened before, but they still didn't like it, I'll agree. So here's my stance on the ending. The message isayama imparted was humanity's greed will never end. "Humanity will fight until there's one person left" as quoted in one the eps by Erwin Smith. For the one's saying there was no point of eren's actions and paradis is not safe and they don't even have the power of the founder anymore, tell me how would you have liked it to end. And don't say by destroying 100% of humanity minus paradis would have been better. It's like a child saying to their sibling/friend- "If I don't have the same toy I will break your toys then". The point was that eren killed 80% of humanity and the world right now is on the same level as Paradise Island. The other nations are more busy standing up on their own two feet again rather than attacking paradis who are not even a threat anymore, certainly not the current generation. Saying eren may well have done nothing is just stupid. Many empires fell in the past in our world. So was it meaningless for the kings to win their fights and wars. Paradise enjoyed a long duration of peace before it was destroyed again. Paradise is like any other nation now and they are preparing their military for any future attack because, think about it, marley attacks other nations and tries to capture them using titans. Same things eldians did before. They are not the "devils" that the world should be afraid of but still they are attacked and captured by marley. So ofcourse even when the titan powers are eradicated, eldia is still not safe. But eren still solved the root cause of the problem that led to the eldian's demise. Even if the entire world doesn't change, there would be many that would accept paradis as a normal nation and won't bother to wage war with it anymore. Eren was never the peace preacher, he always wanted freedom. Wanting freedom and wanting peace are totally different. Who wanted peace then? It was Armin. And he became the ambassador whose actions and eren's actions together ensured around 6-7 or even more generations of peace without the walls. It doesn't matter who attacked paradise in those final extra pages. It could be marley, it could be some other nation, or it could be a faction of paradis which went rogue. The point is, humans will return to war. Eren saved his friends as he wanted to from the very beginning, armin tried to bring peace by talking it out and he got the results. It was foreshadowed in the episode MIDNIGHT SUN. Eren told Levi that armin will save the world and not him. In the episode ATTACK TITAN, Eren Kruger asked grisha to take the founder or else history will repeat itself. He was wrong. Well, the titan history didn't repeat itself, but humanity's history surely did. Eren was never the cliche-ed shounen protagonist who preached for peace and then achieved it by idealistic notions. Those who thought of eren as a badass who doesn't have feeling and killing the entire world would have been a better option, please go and watch DBZ, AoT is not for you. Eren is not a supersaiyan. He's a normal human being with emotions and flaws. For the ones who say that Eren's character was destroyed and Eren is a crybaby, to be honest he remained the same, the Eren that we saw in the final chapter was actually the same Eren all along. He was keeping his emotions in check that's all. That's the only thing that happened ..his character was never destroyed and for god's sake just think about it, he is still a 19 year old teenager. Everyone's for some reason fine when Reiner becomes a crybaby, when Reiner breaks down, when Reiner has a split personality, when the badass reiner we know and we saw for two seasons three seasons suddenly breaks down in episode 5 declaration of war we feel like "Oh he's one of the best written characters of all time" and suddenly when the main protagonist is breaking down after his actions which are far more worse and severe than Reiner's, everybody is like ErEn's ChaRacTEr iS RuiNed. And yeah, loving someone doesn't make you a simp. Eren sacrificed his own feelings for the sake of his friends and paradis. He would have been a simp if he had chosen mikasa over his dream of freedom. He chose his dream and death before his love, if that makes him a simp then the one's calling him a simp are not ready for the depth and complexity of this series and don't understand anything about eren's character. AoT has always been realistic and the ending was the most realistic of it all. Eren broke down and shared his feelings with his best friend because he is a flawed human who has taken over all the burden of this world on his shoulders. And he erases armin's memory after breaking down infront of him. If people think this is funny then I'm sorry you don't deserve AoT. In the end, the cycle of humanity goes on, the source of all living matter remains. Ymir was too submissive and eren was the opposite. Both were not the solution, now the child will try in thier own way. AoT is just one story out of the long history of humanity. There are nations in our world which got independence 60-70 years ago. Imagine if they are attacked and then majority of it is destroyed in a war. Would you say those 60-70 years of freedom meant nothing? Sometimes people need to sit back and think, that the guy who was praised to be a genius till 138 is the same guy who wrote 139. He cannot be stupid enough to write meaningless things for the last chapter. How fragile is the belief that you all had on isayama. Like seriously...gone in an instant. Never did anyone try to think "maybe I'm not getting the full picture here...maybe i need to understand eren's character a bit better"...10% of the fanbase went nuts and cried out "Aot ending is trash" and another 50-60% just jumped on the aot ending hate bandwagon... Like seriously. Which brings me to the example i talked about at the start of my rant which lined up with the message isayama tried to impart in the end "Humanity will fight forever". The AoT fanbase is just a small scale example of it. If eren had destroyed 100% of the world minus paradis which surely would have been stupid as hell, people who defend the original ending would have gone mad and this fanbase, majority of which is dumb and twisted would have defended the ending. Also many are butthurt because the ending didn't turn out like they expected. I saw comments like "chapter 139 is going to have the biggest plot twist ever and eren would survive" after 138. And that didn't happen. If it had happened, the same guys would have said "The ending was too predictable." As if so many plot twists weren't enough. See now? We will keep fighting. The fanbase literally is the personification of the ending isayama gave us. |

You said you didn't get the reason why she had to wait for 2000 years and some other eldian might have been able to help her. True..but it was not only mikasa moving on from her love that helped her..eren had a role to play as well..eren freed her, accepted her as a human and no god or no slave. And then mikasa did what she did.. both these steps were needed. Other eldians thought of her as a god/slave..eren was the first one to free her of that label and treat her like a human. And mikasa helped her move on. She was never considered human...so she never knew about aspects of life since she never had a life Through eren she understands the meaning of freedom Through armin she understands the meaning of life and death Through mikasa she understands the meaning of love All three were required. But for some reason people only remember the love thing. Regarding will. Aot was never the typical shounen where will power solved everything. Eren had a strong will, yes...but how strong can it be? How strong is it possible for a human to be mentally? He had a strong will but then with all the other memories of people with different will, different notions, different ideas. Its not gonna be easy. And yes he's a fictional character but aot has always stayed close to reality with its character personas. Just because he's a fictional character doesn't mean its okay for him to do stuffs that are not realistic of a human specifically since its AoT. Yes his powers are supernatural but he himself is a human. |

All i did here was answering to those lines. First take a deep dive and try to see what fans have been saying all this time. You may have different reasons for not liking the ending that doesn't mean the other's had the same reason. Most had misinterpreted it. If you feel i misinterpreted it then fine but whatever i said lines up perfectly with the story. But yeah my opinion. And yeah i liked the ending. You could suggest a better one. |

Sam_Ackerman said: Do you really think eren wanted to do all that he did? He had no choice. What i said was that he was the same eren all along the only difference being he was not so vocal about everything like he used to be before s4. He knew what he had to do and did it by keeping hos emotions in check. He didn't wanna do it but he had to. he didn't want to do it, but he resolved himself to doing it. it may have been against his will, but he wasn't sitting around and complaining about it by the end. the ending still makes no sense for his character. or maybe you're right in that he was the same person all along. because the ending destroyed all development he had received since reaching the basement. |

Now if you would have liked aot characters to have normal shounen troupes of badassary in every aspect n all those stuffs then its bettrr you go and watch naruto or dbz. Aot talks about human behaviour and the complexity of a human being. How does it make it better you ask? I mentioned all that in my original post. And ofcourse i didn't post it to make people change their opinions, but for them to try to understand what was depicted and not jumping to conclusions.

Peace out I like complexity in human behavior alot (shirou emiya, nagito, Sasuke, lelouch, Gintoki) and I also love character with strong will power who influence the people around them(luffy, rider,Kamina) I don't like character who are 80%-90% Badass mush (Gojou so far, Levi, Mikasa,) In my view Eren has adnormal will Normal human cannot think off eradication of humanity In my view the ending was not bad but leaning towards it and very disappointing I hope that anime ending will change my view on it So yeah thanks for debate had a good time |

As for the i dont know why i did that lines he said, again as i mentioned in one of the quotes before, he had millions of memories from.past and future in his head that his mind was messed up. Try to focus on his main development rather than a few of his flaws. Do you think he would have decided to kill 80% humanity to be free before? NO! His main character development lies into how much eren matured into thinking that if this is what's needed to be done I'll do it. He was not like that before. So what if he cried for mikasa. He still had the will to get the job done and strive for freedom. He put his dream of freedom before his love or a normal life. How does that destroy his development? And to think the author is stupid enough to destroy his own character in a single chapter which he built up till 138. |

If you have the resolve to kill all of humanity (nevermind he did not) then you should have strong basis for that resolve even junko had better answer for why she plunged the world in despair Titan power going because ymir was able to let of her feeling for king frize made no sense Founding titan memory manipulation should not work on ackerman A whole rumbling arc was disappointing Imagine having millions of memories from the past and future dancing in your head and then you're asked to have the resolve to do mass genocide and save your people. Would you be able to do it by keeping track of everything. I do agree that dialogue execution could have been better which even isayama admitted to and i think the anime will fix it. And again, Eren's character didn't change...his mind was messed up...and ofcourse his love for mikasa wasn't the main focus of the chapter. Fans just made it the main focus. Lmao to this date their are fans who think eren is a bird. This fanbase is hopeless First it's only memories of around 153-160 (2000 years by 13 years per inheriter) people at best (which is still alot) First I will definitely not be able to retain my personality since I have weak will power and I am not a fictional character But eren as shown in chapter 121-123 has monstrous will power (that was literally his strongest weapon) So I can fully expect him to do so and he is a fictional character and nope 138-139 they focused on love Titan curse exited because of Stockholm syndrome (so basically the paradise and eldians are called devils and suffered partly due to a girl who was not able to move on from her love) Who for some reason in these 2000 years they were no eldiens who was able to move on form Stockholm syndrome or unconditional love like Mikasa so ymir can do the same I didn't think anything about the bird After last pages I was like whatever Ymir waited for 2000 years because she wanted someone to save her because she didn't know much of this world and exactly what love meant? You said you didn't get the reason why she had to wait for 2000 years and some other eldian might have been able to help her. True..but it was not only mikasa moving on from her love that helped her..eren had a role to play as well..eren freed her, accepted her as a human and no god or no slave. And then mikasa did what she did.. both these steps were needed. Other eldians thought of her as a god/slave..eren was the first one to free her of that label and treat her like a human. And mikasa helped her move on. She was never considered human...so she never knew about aspects of life since she never had a life Through eren she understands the meaning of freedom Through armin she understands the meaning of life and death Through mikasa she understands the meaning of love All three were required. But for some reason people only remember the love thing. Regarding will. Aot was never the typical shounen where will power solved everything. Eren had a strong will, yes...but how strong can it be? How strong is it possible for a human to be mentally? He had a strong will but then with all the other memories of people with different will, different notions, different ideas. Its not gonna be easy. And yes he's a fictional character but aot has always stayed close to reality with its character personas. Just because he's a fictional character doesn't mean its okay for him to do stuffs that are not realistic of a human specifically since its AoT. Yes his powers are supernatural but he himself is a human. Okay so how does it make it better So your saying eren has normal will power okay thank you seems like I was overestimating eren character and Aot story and themes as a whole No wonder I was disappointed by the ending Gooodbye have a nice day Everyone in aot is a result of their specifc trauma. I never said he had normal will, he had a strong will but not strong enough to surpass what a human being can manage. And to be honest, he just said he didn't know why he did it...but he did it...he killed 80% of humanity which requires immense will. Now if you would have liked aot characters to have normal shounen troupes of badassary in every aspect n all those stuffs then its bettrr you go and watch naruto or dbz. Aot talks about human behaviour and the complexity of a human being. How does it make it better you ask? I mentioned all that in my original post. And ofcourse i didn't post it to make people change their opinions, but for them to try to understand what was depicted and not jumping to conclusions. I also mentioned if someone dislikes the ending after understanding the themes and events of the ending then i would respect their opinion. If you are one of them then fine. You didn't like the ending. Peace out I like complexity in human behavior alot (shirou emiya, nagito, Sasuke, lelouch, Gintoki) and I also love character with strong will power who influence the people around them(luffy, rider,Kamina) I don't like character who are 80%-90% Badass mush (Gojou so far, Levi, Mikasa,) In my view Eren has adnormal will Normal human cannot think off eradication of humanity In my view the ending was not bad but leaning towards it and very disappointing I hope that anime ending will change my view on it So yeah thanks for debate had a good time That's what i said...eren was on the line of a normal human and an op character. He had will but didn't want to do it either. Ending actually was basic and nothing special. I felt it was enough to wrap up the story and i also didn't feel that AoT needed the best ending of all time after providing one of the best stories of all time. As for levi and mikasa, I don't like mikasa much since her character was never fleshed out although i do understand rhat ackermans were specifically a bloodline which was designed. So i understand the inhumane capabilities. As for levi, he also has complexity in his character and not as plain as mikasa. I would suggest you to watch Above Will's video on youtube on levi ackerman. I had a change of opinion after watching that. And yeah thanks for the debate. Have a nice day! |

And to think the author is stupid enough to destroy his own character in a single chapter which he built up till 138. you'd think that his resolve and going so far to kill 80% of the world that hates him wouldn't be undone by his "love" for someone he hadn't shown any romantic interest in up until that point. sure, eren knew mikasa loved him. but why did we have any reason to believe that he felt such strong love for her, that he'd throw everything away and descend from the mountain of corpses that he had built up until then? he led all of his loyal supporters like floch on as a tongue-in-cheek joke? you can't say he had any development if things didn't actually resolve in the end. i don't care if he purportedly resolved to save everyone, and then fled to his childhood friend once things got tough. he had taken enough steps away from his childish impulses that any step back toward them would be a sign of poor writing. there was likely a point where eren could have turned back, but the destruction he had caused by the time of his defeat was too much to go out with a whimper. |

To @Akitokamisen, chapters 138-139 was more of Eren's personal reflection on his actions, Mikasa's choice and the end result and its effect on the world. Mikasa loving Eren was sure a part of it, but its main focus stayed on choices and reflections. The ending was fitting if you ask me. The way the rumbling progressed indicated the way the story would be wrapped up in the end. I do admit it was kinda predictable, but it did make sense as per the story. I personally am not a fan of Eren, nor do I support killing but I understood why he sacrificed such a massive scale for the sake of his friends. Because it is what he wanted... freedom for himself and the ones he cared for...and tbh, there was no other way. He was aware of his actions and their consequences and yet he had to do it. His quote "Could I ever be forgiven?" best explains his state of mind during the time. Hence he entrusted his friends to pull the trigger after reaching his his complete Founding Titan form at the right moment. |

I have no issues with Eren's plan is motives was easily visible in s4 and his rumbling failing also My issue is how it was stopped and how badly it was executed As for Eren's personal reflection and choices part wasn't ch 130-131 enough Well I hope anime does a better job at executing the messages |

nolonger25 said: Agree with you , boy.Sam_Ackerman said: Do you really think eren wanted to do all that he did? He had no choice. What i said was that he was the same eren all along the only difference being he was not so vocal about everything like he used to be before s4. He knew what he had to do and did it by keeping hos emotions in check. He didn't wanna do it but he had to. he didn't want to do it, but he resolved himself to doing it. it may have been against his will, but he wasn't sitting around and complaining about it by the end. the ending still makes no sense for his character. or maybe you're right in that he was the same person all along. because the ending destroyed all development he had received since reaching the basement. |

| the ending was fine, eren's monologues and dialogues with armin in ch 139 were trash, weird and out of character. If you wanna make a cool ending, just stick with what you've got, there's was no need for those shit things to happen. Also, why did the manga told us that eren is free, then to suddenly say that eren was a slave to fate, making eren from chapter 131 having just a runner's high. Did eren also had a runner's high when he ate willy? because he told us he knew the events. SnK was probably wrote by someone else and they left isayama to do the ending, we can't know for sure |

Sam_Ackerman said: Okay, this might seem old, I mean people defending the ending and all, but if there are people out there still making jokes on the ending, then there will definitely be people like me defending it. And this is just a small scale example of the message isayama imparted at the end of attack on titan and mostly during the entire story. I have got nothing against people who didn't like the ending, cuz i respect opinions. But opinions can't be respected if someone doesn't understand the subject before making an opinion on the same. Someone come at me and show me they understood everything that happened in the ending and how isayama connected it to everything that happened before, but they still didn't like it, I'll agree. So here's my stance on the ending. The message isayama imparted was humanity's greed will never end. "Humanity will fight until there's one person left" as quoted in one the eps by Erwin Smith. For the one's saying there was no point of eren's actions and paradis is not safe and they don't even have the power of the founder anymore, tell me how would you have liked it to end. And don't say by destroying 100% of humanity minus paradis would have been better. It's like a child saying to their sibling/friend- "If I don't have the same toy I will break your toys then". The point was that eren killed 80% of humanity and the world right now is on the same level as Paradise Island. The other nations are more busy standing up on their own two feet again rather than attacking paradis who are not even a threat anymore, certainly not the current generation. Saying eren may well have done nothing is just stupid. Many empires fell in the past in our world. So was it meaningless for the kings to win their fights and wars. Paradise enjoyed a long duration of peace before it was destroyed again. Paradise is like any other nation now and they are preparing their military for any future attack because, think about it, marley attacks other nations and tries to capture them using titans. Same things eldians did before. They are not the "devils" that the world should be afraid of but still they are attacked and captured by marley. So ofcourse even when the titan powers are eradicated, eldia is still not safe. But eren still solved the root cause of the problem that led to the eldian's demise. Even if the entire world doesn't change, there would be many that would accept paradis as a normal nation and won't bother to wage war with it anymore. Eren was never the peace preacher, he always wanted freedom. Wanting freedom and wanting peace are totally different. Who wanted peace then? It was Armin. And he became the ambassador whose actions and eren's actions together ensured around 6-7 or even more generations of peace without the walls. It doesn't matter who attacked paradise in those final extra pages. It could be marley, it could be some other nation, or it could be a faction of paradis which went rogue. The point is, humans will return to war. Eren saved his friends as he wanted to from the very beginning, armin tried to bring peace by talking it out and he got the results. It was foreshadowed in the episode MIDNIGHT SUN. Eren told Levi that armin will save the world and not him. In the episode ATTACK TITAN, Eren Kruger asked grisha to take the founder or else history will repeat itself. He was wrong. Well, the titan history didn't repeat itself, but humanity's history surely did. Eren was never the cliche-ed shounen protagonist who preached for peace and then achieved it by idealistic notions. Those who thought of eren as a badass who doesn't have feeling and killing the entire world would have been a better option, please go and watch DBZ, AoT is not for you. Eren is not a supersaiyan. He's a normal human being with emotions and flaws. For the ones who say that Eren's character was destroyed and Eren is a crybaby, to be honest he remained the same, the Eren that we saw in the final chapter was actually the same Eren all along. He was keeping his emotions in check that's all. That's the only thing that happened ..his character was never destroyed and for god's sake just think about it, he is still a 19 year old teenager. Everyone's for some reason fine when Reiner becomes a crybaby, when Reiner breaks down, when Reiner has a split personality, when the badass reiner we know and we saw for two seasons three seasons suddenly breaks down in episode 5 declaration of war we feel like "Oh he's one of the best written characters of all time" and suddenly when the main protagonist is breaking down after his actions which are far more worse and severe than Reiner's, everybody is like ErEn's ChaRacTEr iS RuiNed. And yeah, loving someone doesn't make you a simp. Eren sacrificed his own feelings for the sake of his friends and paradis. He would have been a simp if he had chosen mikasa over his dream of freedom. He chose his dream and death before his love, if that makes him a simp then the one's calling him a simp are not ready for the depth and complexity of this series and don't understand anything about eren's character. AoT has always been realistic and the ending was the most realistic of it all. Eren broke down and shared his feelings with his best friend because he is a flawed human who has taken over all the burden of this world on his shoulders. And he erases armin's memory after breaking down infront of him. If people think this is funny then I'm sorry you don't deserve AoT. In the end, the cycle of humanity goes on, the source of all living matter remains. Ymir was too submissive and eren was the opposite. Both were not the solution, now the child will try in thier own way. AoT is just one story out of the long history of humanity. There are nations in our world which got independence 60-70 years ago. Imagine if they are attacked and then majority of it is destroyed in a war. Would you say those 60-70 years of freedom meant nothing? Sometimes people need to sit back and think, that the guy who was praised to be a genius till 138 is the same guy who wrote 139. He cannot be stupid enough to write meaningless things for the last chapter. How fragile is the belief that you all had on isayama. Like seriously...gone in an instant. Never did anyone try to think "maybe I'm not getting the full picture here...maybe i need to understand eren's character a bit better"...10% of the fanbase went nuts and cried out "Aot ending is trash" and another 50-60% just jumped on the aot ending hate bandwagon... Like seriously. Which brings me to the example i talked about at the start of my rant which lined up with the message isayama tried to impart in the end "Humanity will fight forever". The AoT fanbase is just a small scale example of it. If eren had destroyed 100% of the world minus paradis which surely would have been stupid as hell, people who defend the original ending would have gone mad and this fanbase, majority of which is dumb and twisted would have defended the ending. Also many are butthurt because the ending didn't turn out like they expected. I saw comments like "chapter 139 is going to have the biggest plot twist ever and eren would survive" after 138. And that didn't happen. If it had happened, the same guys would have said "The ending was too predictable." As if so many plot twists weren't enough. See now? We will keep fighting. The fanbase literally is the personification of the ending isayama gave us. I feel like a lot of the shit on the ending was for a similar reason that everyone shitted on the Joker movie. They wanted the villain to be a badass, but it turned out that he was just a normal, fragile person |

And this is just a small scale example of the message isayama imparted at the end of attack on titan and mostly during the entire story. I have got nothing against people who didn't like the ending, cuz i respect opinions. But opinions can't be respected if someone doesn't understand the subject before making an opinion on the same.

The fanbase literally is the personification of the ending isayama gave us. I didnt read the whole thing Personally atleat for me the ending was not a prob It's pretty predictable and basic But that doesn't make up for the plot holes in the final arc The plotholes one is for another discussion thread. People didn't have that much of a problem with the plotholes than with the ending. And i agree the ending was predictable and basic but it's fine. With all the twists we got in the series i think a basic ending is enough which wraps up the story. People for some reason just assumed there's going to be a huge twist or whatever. Yeah a story doesn’t have to have a complex ending to be a masterpiece tbh it would’ve been more predictable if the ending went the way the fans wanted |

Akitokamisen said: well you don't like Ymir's character, here's a thread for you.I am not reading the whole thing my problem with ending is Ymir's character Eren's character change (he can love Mikasa but atleast don't make it the main focus in the fucking last chapter in a show which basically never focused on it) and don't say you don't know why you did it? If you have the resolve to kill all of humanity (nevermind he did not) then you should have strong basis for that resolve even junko had better answer for why she plunged the world in despair Titan power going because ymir was able to let of her feeling for king frize made no sense Founding titan memory manipulation should not work on ackerman A whole rumbling arc was disappointing Link to the original thread: https://twitter.com/vincent5126/status/1436939520587419650?s=19 I suggest you to read it there, as it was works a lot better with images and other stuff added. The thread: Ymir Fritz - The Lost Girl of Humanity The one who was never meant to be fully understood The one who could only find herself when she finally moved forward The one trapped in a matrix of slavery that sums up the nature of dehumanization in Attack on Titan A devil, a slave, A God It is sheer brilliance for Attack on Titan to have its monsters be giants Norse myth speaks of Armin's sights similar to the Nine Realms And well you can see why it was also brutally ingenious for Isayama to deconstruct the creation of those Realms In the butchering of one girl AoT's history is muddled in so much propaganda, nationalism and limited literacy barely anyone really knows how the story began Owl says about how we make our gods or devils Magath says the hero Helos, who saved Marley, was an empty shell Ymir is the same The shell of Midgard When we look at the story of Ymir We see the true face of Helos The face of a hero Of "God" An empty shell to make the world in anyone's image Social construction, just as how Odin/Fritz crafted the world/Eldian Empire from a power beyond them A power from a simple wish To live The thing with Helos Or "God" Is they are used to bring meaning to a chaos beyond us, that consumes us, to decide whether man lives or dies But We decided that was God's role Not God I also find it fitting the chapter that talks about God is entitled God. God is born from a wish The Lost Girl of Humanity was never meant to be fully understood because we never wanted that We wanted Ymir to be ours That includes us fans Will go over my overall thoughts on her writing but it does make sense that we cannot fully know Ymir Because we never let her be herself Why was Eren the one to reach to her While Eren also never fully understood her He was the first human to see Ymir's humanity But even then, that was just step 1 To him She was not a god or a slave He did not decide who she is She was just the world and we wanted it to make sense Speaking of Eren I observed he and Ymir were the main enigmas of the final arc Eren was intentionally distant because he was trapped in Paths Defined as "Chadren" by some but 131 showed us his real self And "he did not know" He clearly had no plan You know who else did not know? Ymir had no voice Others spoke for her She had no eyes The world defined her gaze What she heard were the only terms that mattered to her But that made her a shell that had no identity No name She was a scapegoat without freedom A Helos with the boulder of Eldia's ambition Essentially, what we have is a girl who was born into this world without the ability to enjoy that freedom Everyone is born free But Ymir and Zeke are among some clear examples Of why we also need a world that cherishes that freedom Else they become lost, voiceless orphans Now before anyone rages about this particular comparison While we understand Grisha's reason for indoctrinating Zeke He would later realize this was the mistake that destroyed him He became a monster The monster is someone who chooses your worth in life As prey or subject Zeke and Ymir's identity were formed from subjugation They defined themselves based on their relations to their paternal masters So Zeke hated Grisha And Ymir "loved" Fritz for he "gave" her life but used her body to build his empire and the world WE know, the world of her body It is a concept to think about Historia herself was defined by her role Until she broke from that To live a life she was proud of Freckles Ymir saved her A woman who made her choice after others gave her names like her namesake This was Mikasa to Ymir To find a life to accept In 122, she was given her moment to make a choice Except her concept of freedom was based on Fritz's subjugation She only knew of "releasing pigs" To leave the born to the wild But"animals" take that freedom and eat them That's why she helped with the Rumbling For a new pig test When in reality What she needed was what Eren's first step gave her A space to choose But even then her life world was defined by one thing The man who stole her freedom Fritz There was literally no one else Hence her love for an oppressor That was until Mikasa showed freedom As I said, Mikasa's demonstration was the key to ending her curse She feared death yet was only be defined by Fritz's will So if Mikasa could overcome her great love, not so much for an oppressor, but an actual loving guy who became a devil to others She would be free of her wish She could only know herself when she moved forward During that Rumbling She and Eren were brought to a path based on the construction of their world The predatory conflict among humans that required that sides be erased And the end of Paths Was freedom Even if it was too late Now the last section I want to touch on would be my feelings overall about Ymir What I said so far are what the character represents In many ways, she is an object because her humanity has never been fully regarded or fully formed This is a personal matrix of slavery/coloniality I think in my reflections about this character I can say she was probably a challenge to properly convey Isayama's intention with her was clear the moment we saw the Krista/Ymir connection And I mean Historia and Freckles They were the link that created one Founder for us later So the idea of her loving her oppressor was a headscratcher The point of that was that there was no one else she could love but the one who took her home Unfortunately, it was narrated by Eren, of all people, the one Mikasa kills later (139 Eren-Armin talk was in the time of 131) Mentally, it is almost like we refuse to have our main protagonist, the central POV of our story, be related to the worst monster in history Except we were intentionally distanced from that POV in the timeskip For the purpose of figuring out and be in pain with all the characters But another aspect to it is the suddenness of the reveal There was never a point where there was any hint that she loved Fritz In her silence, as did everyone in Ymir's life who defined her, we gave voice to voiceless feelings Did we need a hint or was the point already there This is what makes Attack on Titan a difficult series and in a somewhat good way Again, we are constantly challenged by a world that is too cruel to our viewing because we want to escape into fantasy But AoT is a constant reminder that real life is messy and impossible to control What is clear is Isayama wanted us to get into the very motion and feeling of these terrible things We saw the rise of fascism in Floch's Yeagerists The deconstruction of nationalism and militarism in Uprising The difficult to compare Eldian-Marleyean conflict Eren's guilt In Ymir's case, I once felt that 139 might have ruined her or given the wrong message But the truth behind the truth for me is Ymir represents a cruel reality Maybe similar to how we call children our future Except Zeke was called that Children as reasons for why we do wrong To simplify Look at the story of Freckles Ymir It is no coincidence why two Ymirs exist Freckles was "brought" into a cult to be worshipped She is "their future" To her, this was love A false name, a false life But she was abandoned Becoming a devil to those who once "loved" her To sum up how I feel about Ymir I'm glad Isayama wrote another difficult character It was really hard to comprehend until I looked at the layers I did not need a lot of other viewpoints This will be an unpopular conclusion but The extra pages saved her A lot So I am thankful End Of The Thread |
