AoT Worst Ending Ever

Watch on YouTube

I hate this ending. I'm here to give you the reasons why. If you want to you can go hate on me inside my profile page, I'm not here to appease the fanboys. I want to provide my opinion on this, this is not a hate piece on Attack on Titan just the ending please let me be clear this bad ending does not ruin the show for me and should not ruin the show for others however it is bittersweet. This is not a Game of Thrones Season 8 situation where one season ruins the entire show it's just these last 10 chapters.

"No I don't want that! Mikasa finding another man?! I want her to think about me and no one else for the rest of her life! Even after I die...I want her to be hung up on me for a while! Ten years at least!" This is actual dialogue from the show now I'm no expert in romance my pyscho mentally insane first wife left me in about a year after getting together. I'm still depressed does this ruin my credibility on making rationale critical reviews perhaps. But goddamn, in all the time Eren had he never had a care in the world for any romance with Mikasa. She has made repeated advances since they were children even after learning he had 13 years to live for a damn long time, this man still did not care. I get the author wanted to play into the EreMikasa fandom (even though Historia and Eren is a way better couple and isn't icst and yes banging your adopted siblings is icst get over it you miscreants). The dialogue is terrible and makes no sense. Maybe Isayama was voicing his own opinions on this kind of thing ( I relate heavily) but it’s so out of left field and makes no damn sense. Now he's worried about being cucked? You never even kissed her ffs. Now that we've taken a look at Eren let's analyze some other major let downs. Mikasa being able to free Ymir by killing Eren due to Ymir loving her rapist genocidal pdp**** husband so much so that she wanted to kill herself but still serve him after she died? Fine. But how is this incredibly shocking and heavy plot development portrayed to us? It's hard to believe, but The Founder Ymir was in love with Karl Fritz. That's why Ymir's restriction has persisted for the last 2000 years. With no additional context of how such a contrived situation developed. What an asspull. In all fairness maybe this plot point deserves a pass because of the Stockholm syndrome Ymir gained from being with her husband from the time of 10.

Armin wanting to express his condemnation of Eren's actions while also reassuring him as a friend? Fine. But how is this incredibly complex series of statements and emotions shown to us? Eren. Thank you. You became a mass murderer for our sake. This is genocide apologia. He made a quote on quote terrible mistake HE KILLED BILLIONS and wiped 80% of the Earth wtf. YEAH GREAT BUT CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW ELDIA WAS TURNED TO RUBBLE LATER WHAT WAS THE POINT IN STOPPING EREN?. Some other picks: Jean and his fellow corps having extremely emotional goodbyes only to become titans for a a few days only to be then instantly reverted back as if nothing happened. Yelena literally vanishing from the story this is not a case of Araki forgot which is an urban legend the great Hirohiko Araki would never forget Isayama would. Falco being able to fly and save the alliance just because of a memory. The alliance managing to fend off an assault by dozens of organized titan shifters with the only casualty being Levi's leg with unlimited thunder spears and gas for assurance.

Again I would like to reiterate my thank you to Isayama for all the hard work and great storytelling he made for the first 130 chapters of AOT the ending was terrible and I am allowed to say that. AOT is still one of the best anime in existence but the ending was bad.
