Ultimately, no one’s actions are morally pure, and yet the story is intent on breaking all our favorite characters to force them into this preachy contrivance to try and convince us we still have kid-friendly good guys to root for. The new retarded version of Hange also says, “We will win in one to two years, then we will think about it!' In other words, her suggestion is to allow the island to get wiped out to prevent Eren from wiping out the outsiders? The outsiders want to commit genocide, and that’s bad the Yeagerists want to commit genocide, and that’s bad too the Avengers, however, want to stop genocide, and that’s good, right? Isayama apparently forgot to mention thwarting one side paves the way for the other. They continue, ”So what will we do if we stop Eren?' And the morons continue looking back with tears in their eyes. The Marleyan Avengers ask, 'Can you kill Eren?' And these fucking morons look back with tears in their eyes. As for the Eldian Avengers, these fucking imbeciles are helping those who’ve said they are against genocide, and yet have themselves tried to commit genocide against the Eldians. Even though everything is done to discredit him, he stands tall right or wrong, he does not give up his case, and he’s the only one acting with consistent motivations. The only characters with proper motivation are on Eren’s side, like Floch, for example. It’s all very grandiose, soul-stirring stuff, but in order for this to happen, every character involved in the fight against Eren has to decrease their IQ to single digit numbers and abandon every conviction that made them who they were. Meanwhile, the remainder of the main cast-both the Paradisians and the Marleyans-form an alliance I will henceforth refer to as the Avengers to stop Eren and stop the Rumbling. Aptly named after Marvel’s Avengers franchise, the final arc of Attack on Titan sees Eren activating the Rumbling and attempting to genocide the rest of the world to guarantee the safety of the Eldians living on Paradis who the outsiders wish to genocide themselves. The final arc of Attack on Titan is officially called the War for Paradis Arc, but throughout this review, I will be referring to it by its unofficial title, the Avengers Arc. I’ll begin with the characters we all know and love and how they’re being viciously butchered right before our eyes. The inane plot holes and outrageous character assassination responsible for ruining Attack on Titan have, unfortunately, already begun. However, while all of this was going on and everyone was understandably losing their minds, I was just sat in the corner, confused, because while it’s definitely true, the final chapter of Attack on Titan makes the ending of Game of Thrones look like a masterpiece, the decline in writing quality began long before chapter 139. try and somehow justify the stupefying writing decisions which lead the story to such a nonsensical and laughable conclusion. Some were seething with rage, screaming about how Isayama ruined their lives and how Attack on Titan had been soiled forever, and others were coping so hard you’d think they just received news of their mother’s death, refusing to face reality and engaging in absurd and embarrassing mental gymnastics to When the final chapter was released, the internet exploded with sheer vitriol and desperation. This review contains spoilers, but most people have read the manga, and anything important is already spoiled by the OP.Įven if you haven’t read it, you’ve probably heard the ending of the manga was a complete catastrophe, and this is true. Under the blind belief that Eren still secretly harbors good intentions, Mikasa and the others enter the fray in an attempt to save their friend's very soul.
