A dark version of the Shakugan no Shana ending. Too much to ask, really.

Eren is actually just a normal high school boy and everything that happened in the series was just a dream.

Similar to the one we got, but the mindless titans would die instead of turning back, and it wouldn't feature an incel and stockholm syndrome.

First of all I would keep character motivations consistent with previous chapters instead of changing them for no reason.

Rather than keeping Paradis as a colony I would have had the Eldians disperse to places they could naturally fit in that weren't decimated. With no titan curse and almost no governments left background checks would be non-existent. They would blend in with the rest of the planet and would no longer be susceptible to targeted extermination.

It would surely be better than the dogshit we got, but this still has massive plot holes and a shitton of things left unexplained.

All life is a prelude to death.

I wanted Eren to live. I didn't want him to win. What he did was wrong. But I grew attached to him.

I wanted the world to shun him and for him to run away and live in isolation, with Mikasa carrying half his burden like she promised she would in the Paths, while Armin handles everything on the political side.

And if Eren absolutely had to die, I didn't want Mikasa to mourn him forever like she ends up doing. Eren was absolutely pathetic, breaking down in front of Armin - those are his real feelings all along, and despite all that he thought he should "fight for the greater good" knowing he would die and lose it all. And he didn't even save Eldia.

I wanted Isayama to show Mikasa moving forward - symbolizing that Eren's wish to keep her to himself could never come true after the things he'd done, and without him around to actually fix it.

I wanted Eren's plan to actually make sense in the end. If Eren was willing to give up on Historia's descendants, then they could protect Eldia until they're actually able to negotiate with other nations.

But he keeps it all bottled up. And to what end? It doesn't work. The person who I thought was so mature and understanding during the Liberio speech turned out to not only blame Reiner for his own original sin, but to regress into an obsessive brat. One who was never able to show his true affection and feelings towards his friends.

I wanted Ymir to get real closure. She loved King Fritz? That's absurd. The only thing that justifies this in the past chapters is that she rushed to defend him during the attempt on his life. The man abused her his whole life.

I wanted some actual karma for the families of the Warriors. Even if they didn't die, I wanted there to be something for the way they ruined their children's lives.

I'm just sad. It could have been worse, yeah, but it could have been so much better.

Shitty fanmade ending that follows the manga with some major changes made by me:

>Cringevengers never happens, instead we see a split in ex scouts - some teaming up with Floch, some saying "hurr durr genocide bad fuck the island" and joining warriors. Also, there is much more dialog between alliance members so we can see that they're real characters acting realistically, not a plot convenience for warriors.
>Since Jean was supposed to be the Yeagerist (at least that's what the beginning of final arc suggests) let's use him as an example here:
The battle in the harbor where Connie puts down that random guy Samuel nobody gives shit about is now much different. We see characters we cheered up for and cared about fighting each other in the name of their beliefs. Samuel isn't the guy Connie puts down in rage. It's place is taken by Jean and we just saw top3 Attack on Titan scenes ever.
>Yeagerists aren't totally annihilated like it was presented in the manga. They flee instead since they have taken a huge blow.
>Alliance takes the boat
>Alliance is on the trip to Eren, meanwhile we see Yeagerists regrupping, resuplying themselves and taking the preparations for the final battle. Turns out there was one more hidden boat or some shit and they follow up behind alliance.
>Final battle time
>Talk no jutsu and other bullshitery like Eren transforming into collosal without worm (the founding) never happens
>Basically the whole final battle resolutes about Yeagerists and Alliance going all in, swinging their 3DMG around collosal eren, slaying themselves which results in both sides being beaten up so badly that no one is strong enough to do shit do Eren.
>Cycle of hatred wins. Eren destroys the world.
OR
>take back "cycle of hatred wins" line
>Last resort chance
>Armin eats all the remaining shifters that haven't died thus he gains their abilities and restores his strenght
>He ends up looking like downgraded Ymir origin titan we saw in Ymir flashbacks
>He goes all in, he's the last thing that can save humans outside of walls
>Then it's up to you who wins, i'm out of ideas

Ofc that's only the sketch and if i were to pull out a real fanmade ending i'd spend hours on it adding up all the details and shit, i'd also probly change a lot about it since from the "hidden boat" seems like total bullshit for me as i am reading this right now.

Well, in the current ending Eren still won (in the sense that what he wanted is what happened). And I think it should be that way. The Founding Titan was proven this chapter to just be unbeatable. He literally knows all the past, present and future, it's pure insanity. Even if Armin absorved the other titans, I think it wouldn't make sense. One of the best parts of the current ending is that Eren didn't get defeated, he was just doing a Lelouch. Because the Founding Titan was the definition of undefeatable, truly a god imo.

Was wondering what you guys would have wanted as an ending for the aot manga

I would have loved Eren being in Paradise Crystalized and going to touch historias baby which has the beast titan to activate the rumbling.

Ymir gets free and is reincarnated as historias Child which is named ymir.

Eren becomes the founder like ymir was, but he has a free will and wont be creating titans in the realm. Eren sacrifices his freedom and is alone forever and give everyone a peaceful life by not creating titans in the paths

Also Eren won and only the people from paradis are living

Anr, and if eren was going to loose, to mantain his characterization from chapters pre 131... not aaron yogurt... basically make him die like a lion and not a lamb, outsmarted by armin, then with the rest of world at odds with paradis.

nothing about the ending was satisfying apart from the part where eren reincarnates as the piece symbol bird, I don't understand why eren did the rumbling, nothing was explained properly, so many plotholes.

One of the best parts of the current ending is that Eren didn't get defeated, he was just doing a Lelouch. Because the Founding Titan was the definition of undefeatable, truly a god imo.

I remember Isayama saying something about changing the ending as he gained bigger audience. I guess the previous ending was supposed to be the brutal and real to world presented ending. Now what we just got was the changed version of it - being boring, predictitable and full of plot conveniences cliche shounen ending. Nothing spectaluar or worth remembering. I kinda feel like somebody just cheated on me with the final arc. Well, shitty ending still doesn't change the fact that I absolutely loved the story up untill 123 and AoT is still one of my fav things fictions ever created. Last hope in s4 part 2, maybe the plot holes will be changed at least and there will be more cringevengers dialogue.

Yes. I think the full genocide ending would be more memorable than the Lelouch ending. But at least he made it so that the war continues, so it wasn't as convenient as Code Geass'. Also, since Eren wanted to be defeated, it's easier to digest than the absolute god that is the Founding Titan losing. Overall, I do believe it's a somewhat disappointing ending for a manga that is as good as SnK (mostly in execution, the general idea isn't awful), but it could be way worse. In fact, I think some people are thinking it's worse than it is due to the untranslated raws and partial leaks.

The Marley soldiers don't trust Armin and other Eldian and start shoot all Eldian's
. All Eldian's character die and Marley start genocide all Eldian's.
This ending is bad but is more real i think. Because the cycle of hate cant disappeared so easy.

It's hard to figure. I couldn't imagine an ending that would be satisfying, and I also wasn't happy with the popular theories (I liked AnR a bit), so I left it to Isayama.
Worked just fine, not a great ending, but at least we got closure and minimal plot holes.

Zeke not deciding to help Armin and just letting Eren finish the Rumbling would've been the best ending. Alliance wouldn't be able to stop him and he would have achieved his goal. The manga could have ended there and I would have been fine with it.

Like the ending of one of the novel i like, One hundred years of solitude.
Everyone almost dies, rumbling have stopped.
But racism still exists albeit more, eldian that stopped the rumbling is not regarded as hero.
Some of them turns out to be killed brutally.
At least one survived, keeping secret that their family is eldian, their parent keep telling tales that there are island out there, a heaven for eldians they said.

Crushed under poverty, the parent died, the young eldian is left behind only a manuscript from the past. that he tries to decipher but never fruitful.
When he finally decipher it, he understood, that eldian is doomed to be wiped from the face of the earth, as he reads it, windstorm is circling around him, and disappear

If Armin was the protagonist. Armin is way more complex than Eren anyways so I’m glad I deconstructed Eren’s character.
