A moment of silence for all the horses, characters, potato girls and Attack on Titan fans that didn't make it to the end.
Dude I literally see you everywhere😂 I saw you on so many John wick RUclips shorts yesterday bruh
Bro's literally everywhere, name checks out
why? if they didn't get to see this steaming pile of garbage they are lucky
@wyndellleethespammer4497 You’re right, not related to AOT, but one of my biggest fears is not seeing the end of One Piece *knocks on wood*
Aot sucks it promotes terrorism and military aggression
Main characters are fighting in a war started by their own country(Eldia and Marley never signed a treaty, Eldia’s king just ran away to some island)
Main characters literally start a military coup on the government
Main protagonist (who is portrayed heroically as doing things for his friends) attacks the entire world and is thanked by his former friend(who is portrayed heroically)for his aggression and genocide
This story started because Ymir let the pigs loose.
Seriously this all could’ve been avoided if they just killed the kid outright
True
No it's start it with a fucking king of he wasn't a fucking devil and wasn't a night mare for his people if he was more forgiveing to a child and collect the dam pigs instead of going after a dam child
@@dreadmonger7042 Ymir should’ve folded the King when she got those powers.
if the tree was already there, it means the cycle has already once happened and it will happen again forever and ever, because war never truly ends
It seems like anime only watchers havent been anywhere near as negative about the ending as manga readers so far
I honestly think isayama fucked up somewhere down the road where he just decided to change the ending to be less controversial than what he originally planned for the ending to be. This is quite plausible and actually eluded to with the retcons, red herrings, and plot holes within the manga and season 4. To be upset is very understandable. It is what it is and we got the ending we got. And with that we must take what we can from this story. Not a happy unrealistic fantasy. Not a horrific villian domination. But an unsatisfying itch of grounded reality. We must keep moving forward. In a world where conflict is inevitable. To face tragedy with strength, to love and cherish the people we have, and to fight for a better outcome. Ultimately (plot holes aside) that is what this story means based on the ending, and that's as beautiful as it can get.
@@mystery785 I think you are the first person I have seen that said the author f*cked up but also put things into a good perspective. There are a few people I have seen saying that they are disgusted with Isayama retconning parts of the story and saying that they hope for him to never pick up a pen again and stuff like that. I am an anime only but I did not find the author reconning or changing the story as much of a bad thing as some others. And maybe he did change the ending to be less controversial(although the current ending where 80% of the world gets crushed is also going to have plenty of controversy on its own). Also I don’t really find Isayama changing the ending to be a big deal if I am going to be honest, he had been working on AOT for so many years and although he changed parts of the story over time, whether because he wanted to or because of controversial parts, I think it was bound to happen. People change how they feel about certain things and he had been working on AOT for so long with a lot of the story planned out from the beginning. I just don’t blame him for changing things and at the end of the day a lot of the stuff you said is true. AOT was not meant to have a happy ending, and we didn’t get a great or perfect ending. Some people are saying that the ending ruined the whole show for them so idk how bad it was for them but for me personally, I did find the ending satisfying, and it still ties in with AOT and it’s story, some parts of how it tied in were a bit odd, like idk if Isayama could have came up with a better reason than love being the thing that was the reason why Mikasa killing Eren would be what stopped the curse of Ymir(which I still think makes enough sense to be a good way for the curse to end) but either way, I am happy enough about the ending to thank Isayama for AOT.
People can say that is because I am an anime only if they want, but at the end of the day we all are able to experience AOT as well as any other anime or shows in the ways that we want. I prefer watching it as an anime, others might prefer reading it as a manga, and some are going to probably prefer both, but I don’t think we should allow the way we experience AOT to separate us into groups of who liked a part like the ending the least and who liked it the most. Maybe the vocal minorities of people that read the manga are truly all saying worse things than the vocal minority of everyone that only watched the anime, but I just prefer watching anime over reading manga, the story as well as the meaning of AOT are going to be pretty much the same(I know that the convo between Eren and Armin was changed from the manga to the anime and maybe some other smaller things). Another thing people say a lot is that manga onlys scared us by making anime onlys think that the ending was going to be bad. And while yes, the spreading of people thinking did obviously start to generate from the manga, I feel like there were probably only a few people that read the manga that started saying stuff about the ending and the internet did it’s thing and later on stuff about the ending being bad was spread far and wide to the point that it worried anime onlys and stuff like that. The thing is though that there are probably manga readers that, when reading the manga, thought that the ending was fine or maybe even liked it, just like how there are going to be people that are anime onlys that probably hate the ending. My point is that we are all going to have a mix of feelings between each individual and the medium we experience AOT in does not and should not act as a something that seperates us.
@biggamer7245 I believe last minute changes were made which cause the plot holes that are criticed by a bit of people, that's really the only thing that bothered me. I stood up all night coming up with comprehensible explanations for the things that didn't add up at first within the final episode for my own peace of mind. Overall people need to learn to appreciate things for what it is. I'm glad I'm not the only one who can take value from something that admittedly had more potential to wrap up and end everything.
@@mystery785 Yea, I actually have come to understand the ending way way more since I wrote that. Idk why but AOT is probably the first anime where I feel like I need to be able to understand the ending. Whether it was his intention or not, Isayama made AOT and it’s lore so complex and after I started understanding the way the ending was I can’t do anything but appreciate AOT more. I’ve been looking back at certain points of AOT, looking through a ton of videos that try and explain the ending(some that were about why it’s bad and some that were about why it’s masterful) and after everything that I have seen I don’t think there will ever be a day where I don’t talk about AOT as anything but a masterpiece and that is how I feel about it. I also would like for people to be able to appreciate the ending for what it is but I think that the way a lot of people react makes sense considering how massive the ending is as well as all of the misinformation and misconceptions that have been going around because the story being complicated leads to us being able to comprehend everything we are given differently as the individuals that we are. If the ending was much longer and planned out better I do honestly think that most of the controversy would not be here because the way the ending was packed together is enough to make us misinterpret a lot of it. I do feel though that as time passes more of us will come to be able to understand the ending.
@@mystery785
I keep seeing the quote that Isayama changed his ending being brought up a lot, but people seems to have missed that he basically admitted to going back on it.
After season 1s premiere the anime blew up in popularity so Isayama said he changed the ending because he felt more responsible to the readers now due to the popularity.
However during season 4s premier Isayama says
"I think I've always wanted to hurt the reader so I thought maybe I should draw what I've always wanted, maybe that's better"
The ending we got wasn't last minute changed, it was basically something Isayama always wanted to do but seemingly was too scared to do but ended up going for it anyways. The ending is foreshadowed several times in his first 14 chapters actually.
However Isayamas uncertainty of his ending is probably why it feels a bit lacklustre in execution for some people, as it's something he's always wanted but was never sure off
The ending is just one big M. Night Shyamalan fever dream.
Don't let this distract you from the fact that Floch tried to save us from Chapter 139.

You could completely get away with it too

@@aquaarmour4924 nah, already left PR(including the community) after Super Megaforce for Super Sentai and Kamen Rider.
Only Ymir Knows.
I mean at first I thought the same about the credits: “it was all for nothing”. Then I remember Armin with Zeke and how they talked about what made life worth living. War can still happen and the titans can come back but it’s not about the multiplying of life but about the little things that make life worth living, that make it all for something.
hat is the message of the anime? Genocide actually works great if you're doing it to protect your friends and family? In the anime is showed Paradis being annihilated like 500 - 700 years or more into the future which means genocide does work and more people should be like Eren
Eren should have succeeded in killing off everything outside of Paradis and then the timeskip ending shows that there is a civil war 100 years or 200 years later. There will always be war, no matter what you do. It doesn't even matter if you kill everyone outside of Paradis. More land and more greed, civil war. It shows Eren's decision was wrong in the end. There is no peace no matter what you do. His friends children or grandchildren still die in the end. This depressing message would have been more better than the message that genocide makes peace last for 700 - 1000 years
The ending scene(of development and Tree) directly or indirectly said
"whether ending is good or bad after some time everyone forgot the Heros and War will begin once Again".
That scene made me speechless
Same
Imo this made the ending quite compelling desptie the plotholes, i dont think an anime like AOT that so often served as political and philosophical commentary on human nature and structural impositions like the history of the eldians and the hate the Marleyan government (and all other governments) felt for eldians as a result. The fact that the ending was one that wasnt a happy ending feels accurate and in sync with the fact that human nature inevatably causes conflict continuesly.
It is depressing yeah
I dunno, I like to think whoever discovered the Titan’s power again decided to use it for good. Call me an optimist, but history doesn’t always have to repeat itself
@@_______7783Exactly what I’ve been saying. What mattered to eren was two things, the safety of his people especially his friends for as long as they could live, and ending the titans. He achieved both of those things for better or worse despite all the crazy godlike power he had and barely understood, he never was trying to save the entire world. In the end he pretty much leveled the playing field by killing 80% of humanity, conflict was never going to stop and that’s where I think people watching this series go wrong in expecting things to stop once the titans were gone.
Problems with the ending:
1. Eren killed his mother so he could have a reason to be mad as if watching your people get eaten by titans wasn't enough. This also means that he is a bigger monster than the titans. He is the reason his mother died so he should hate himself more than titans.
2. Ymir loves King Fritz, a guy who murdered and enslaved her people, alsmost killed her then raped her and used her to kill so many of people and enslave others. He also cheated on her. Good Lord...
3. Historia became totaly irrelevant for no reason.
4. Eren wants to save his friends, but doesn't stop the titans from killing Hanji. Also, he almost murdered every single one of them.
5. The alliance has way too much luck and convenient moments.
6. Eren "doesn't want to leave the future of Paradis to be in danger". He also does exactly that...
7. Only Ymir knows.
8. Eren doesn't know why he did what he did and just wanted to see the world burn even though he had plenty of good reasons to explain his actions.
9. "It was Mikasa"... Mikasa's character is one of the most neglected characters in the entire story and then she just suddenly becomes a reason for Ymir doing what she did... absolutely 0 sense.
10. "Eren, what a man you are."
Well said
💯
You didn't pay much attention did you.
1. Eren sacrificed his family because it was the only way things can play out as they did. He told his father to kill the Historias half siblings, and used his brother to his own advantage. Why you have a problem with him using people when Hange herself pointed out how they lost trust in Eren when he went AWOL knowing they would risk their lives to save him should have been a clue.
2. She was hunted and used long before the king did anything and it can be viewed as a unhealthy relationship even if she did love the man who are we to judge her logic when all she wanted was to be accepted?
3. Eren made it clear as day he didn't want historia to be apart of it, and didn't want her kid to eat her to inherit the titans powers. Her biggest role was to GIVE Eren time to figure things out and it worked and now that child can grow up free from being looked down as a devil/not in a repeated cycle of eating the parent.
4. Did you not see how Eren reacted to Sasha's death? Do you not think that freedom doesn't come without sacrificing a few to save the many? Hangi choose to stay behind, she choose to go out and fight and because of a series of events that delayed their take off it was not Eren's fault she ended up dying for them trying to stop him.
5. Eren killed so many friends and enemies alike that idfk what you count as lucky when Armin and Mikasa were the key into saving the world, and ensuring a cycle of hate/prejudice ends for the people he cares about.
6. No he did not. His friends and the love of his life live a PEACEFUL life. What the world and Paradise does after they are all gone is up to THEM to maintain the peace for however long they can keep it. Mankind created the likes of Eren and it was Mankind who ended the long lasting peace his death created.
7. Well she has manipulated Eren for over 2000 ywars to be free and she finally is. She knew that one day Eren would be born to free herself from her own power, and she needed to make sure Eren was groomed for the role to do it but he was scared at what he had to do to give it all up in order to save those he could.
8. No he didn't. If you listened to the songs in AoT they tell you the state of Eren and Mikasa and how it is a back and forth struggle of knowing what has to be done will destroy eachother and Eren has to prepare Mikasa to live in a life without him. Everything he has done was for her to be happy, and live the life he couldn't give her for he was always meant to do this even though he wanted to run off with her and be happy.
9. Oh my lord....Mikasa always knew Eren will DIE in some capacity for in the OVA's Eren is meant to die and Eren tried to reach out to her in the paths to prepare her. In the world he created just for her where they lived out their lives when she confessed her feelings those were Eren's attempts to reach out to her for she kept calling out his name no matter where he was. It's poetic that Mikasa went from a girl who had everything taken from her to a woman who ended up having a family, friends, and could live in a peaceful world they fought for, and the one thing she had to do was let Eren finally die even though neirher of then wanted it to be this way.
10. He is a boy when the events happen and his future self needed certain events to happen even when he tried looking for so many ways out and the only way he and mikasa could have been happy is if they sacrificed everyone even Armin to be happy with the little time they had left. However that wouldn't solve anything and Mikasa would die once Marly and the world invaded. He is the bigger man who didn't get to have everything he wanted and sacrificed few close people to him as possible in order to save everyone else and their families which is something he never got to choose because YMIR needed to be free.
Please don't just hate something that is pretty easy to understand.
@@masterblaster3508everyone understands it, man-child.
And it’s still a horrendous ending for way many more reason that op didn’t even mention.
It’s bad. A waste of time considering how it fks the entire series since a huge chunk of it relied on “it will pay off/it’s a set up” style of writing.

"Bad writing"
Is that all you got? What is the bad writing according to you? Explain because I stated how all of his or her points were pretty easy to answer so where is your excuse or are you just jumping on the hate wagon as your response is more or less proving my point?
The problem is Eren needed to die and there needed to be a dramatic ending. Theoretically, just by having the founding Titan, Eren could have forced the Marleyans into a peace treaty by threatening them with a rumbling. Instead the author wanted a convoluted code geass ending, which didn’t land. This story was never meant to turn out happy, but nothing was achieved or gained by all of the loss. The author wanted to convey history repeats itself, which wasn’t needed directly after having the main character sacrifice himself and 80% of humans for peace. The ending seemed absolutely meaningless.
Exactly! You nailed it. Honestly, it sounds like humanity would have been better if they hadn't bothered to stop the rumbling. Which is an strange state of affairs given everything the story was building towards.
Its not a disney story princess. Sometimes people destroy shit just cuz.
@@Doggo505 God you’re so right, the whole reason behind Eren doing anything is just cuz. Absolutely masterful writing.
I'm not sure what happened with Eren wanting to end the "cycle of hatred". If you're going to start then go all the way. The existance of Eldians threatens the existence of humans. Zeke's solution to this was to sacrifice all Eldians and Eren's solution was (up until the finale) to sacrifice all non-Eldians. Hange's (and friends) solution seemed to be in the middle, indecisive. They were somehow going to create peace. Now it turns out everything Eren worked for was for peace as well. I don't really understand this though, because sure there's going to be peace for the near future, but what about 50, 100, or 200 years from now? It's in human nature to eliminate that which threatens your existance. And as we see in one of the ending frames, Eren's grave ends up littered with bullet casings. So war did come to Paradis after all. Eren half-assing it didn't end up doing much in the long run, so yeah im dissapointed with the ending.
Did you mean Marleyans instead of Eldians?
I think watching this whole thing as a movie really helps paper over the plot holes. I can't imagine reading it as it came out
???It was almost exactly the same. Scenes were expanded on and dialogue was changed to be more in character.........
@@TOMHICHIBAN give someone however many hours it takes to watch AOT in one sitting and give someone else a literal decade of slowly analyzing every chapter and discussing theories/details/speculations as they come out. who is going to notice more plot holes? that's the point sergio is making..............................
It was amazing up until the last 6 chapters. It got continually worse until the absolute shitshow that was the ending. Fun stuff to watch the fandom on flames and 12yo twitter users calling it deep and shit.
yes i totally agree. I kept up with the manga until the end all those years ago and omfg it was just such a mess. But watching it in the anime made is a LOT more palatable. Especially with the voice acting and dialogue changes that kinda fixed some things a little. In any case, the ending is still not the best, but its not as bad as i remember it lol
@@Vanix9696exactly this
I think you misunderstood the Falco part. It's not that he happened to shift and fly off. He thought he might be able to fly and they chose to sacrifice the ship in hopes he could be of use in the fight. Annie got with them because she couldn't let the kids go into war alone while she alone stood down.
yep this
Thank you finally someone gets it
falco inherited the jaw titan. the jaw titan cannot fly, they do not explain why falcos jaw titan can fly.. its just all way too convenient and a load of bs
@@TomTang-sj2zk falco turning into a bird was called back to his first introduction
Do titan powers really make sense? Plus the bird design seemed like the Jaw Titans next evolution sure isayama could have explained it but he did call back to it
People that said the ending is good and that you don't understand the story ... conveniently doesn't try to explain why they liked it or what is the "true" understanding of the story.
You don’t need a reason to like something, sometimes something just makes you happy… do you think everyone that says they liked it is just lying?
@@justicemcintosh3294”something makes you happy.” There you go buddy you have your reason LOL. What are you saying? We as humans don’t gravitate towards something WITHOUT reason 🤣🤦🏻. They aren’t lying. Their understanding is flawed and this leads to their reason for liking it ALSO BEING FLAWED.
@@Vortex_ICEcold so they’re objectively wrong for liking it? What?
People who don't understand the ending, don't understand the plot. It's safe, but makes complete thematic sense.
@@CrossxFir3I understand the ending, I just don't like it
Also i kinda like the whole war thing because they talked about it in the first season when the general asked eren if he thought one bad guy would unite all of the people and eren said it could for a little bit but human nature would cause more wars. I also like how the marleans still didnt trust the eldians because it shows that generational racism doesnt go away after a day and that they can say whatever they want but it takes time and effort before their mindset can truly change
@CombatUnit621 yeah I also left out where Eren called himself an idiot because this was his only idea and how armin blamed himself because he didn't help eren come up with a different idea
@@CombatUnit621 he did not say "It was a dumb idea". He said "He is and idiot who got super powers".
That completely means different things lol.
Like if his plan is "completely dumb" as you have said then none of his plans would have worked and Eren would not even have told Historia how to deal with the repercussions of his actions.
Him being and idiot just means, that whatever he ended io doing is not the most "big brain" plan genius people can come up with. His plan is basically something a normal dude could have think off if put in his situation.
@sonzhon7216 Yeah, he mentioned how eren called it a bad idea, and I was saying eren called himself an idiot because he couldn't come up with a different plan
@@Snzn18 rather I think it was supposed to be more like this, eren is the same as the people in power, in so many generations we have seen so many rulers and kings (people with power) starts wars over stupid reasons like a complete idiot and cause all the death and destruction of the world and eren is just like them, an idiot who was given too much power
@@CombatUnit621so, what Eren believes when he is 10 years old should count because… character development much?
Eren tried to be like lelouch speed running
I moment of silence for the anime onlys who we hoped a better future for.
I like how you say this but most anime-onlys will love the ending.
@trueweaver5604 I am doubtful, I do not read many manga. I really one read one's where the anime was just too good, and I couldn't help myself. I haven't seen a positive take on the end of AoT. It's a mess. I mean, good on them if they do, but I don't think so.
The ending wasn't happy at all, but as an anime only I think it was beautiful and didn't ruin my overall view on Attack on Titan as a masterpiece and one of the best shows I watched.
😢i honestly had hope that there would be Anime only ending that's why they took so much time but it really just ended like this?
@@jacobt1279It is by far one of the greatest shows just that....😢
**SPOILERS BELOW**
As a reader of the manga, when it ended people had very similar reactions to how people are reacting now, and after all that time what I can say for sure is that this ending has grown into me afterwards, I can accept it and somewhat see how this was fated to be their resolution. Eren was never going to stop fighting to be free, and his freedom would never be reached in life without the extermination of humanity outside the walls. I hoped for a better ending for him, but the ending we got was appropriate for the story, and it was beautifully adapted and accturate to the source material (manga).
I can honestly say it helped me understand the manga so much better I used to hate the last shot of the new tree and the little boy but this time around I had a smile on my face wondering what he’s gonna do with the hood like power now ?? I loved it all
Idk I personally feel like the ending was perfect, there wasn't really a situation that would have been better for Eren
You mean to tell me, people thought eren living was a better suited ending?!?
Realistic endings are extremely rare nowadays but when they are implemented they honestly be the best kind of endings.
It was way better than in the manga. I think the problem is the long wait plus the mid storyline. As manga readers we should be at least happy that it was improved alot, however for anime only views it can hurt
@@hedgehoge90The storyline was mid? R u sure?
Anybody notice when Annie was refusing to fight and going to the ship, everyone except Levi waved her off?
She stomped Petra 😭😭
She ki**ed his squad..and first love of his life.
@@Nermeen. Levi never loved Petra
I did he was glaring at her
Not much but that was honest enough for me
@@Nermeen. Isabel is more like Levi's true love.
22:01 he said he ran countless changes to the future this was the best one.
He’d still get to annihilate the people outside the walls while giving his friends a chance to kill him of their own free will. Them being heroes was just a side note and an excuse.
"I don't know what happens after I die, but I know... you can make it to the other side of the walls. Humanity will be saved by you, Armin." Eren's last words to Armin, before he wipes their memories and leads them to his death.
Ah yes neverending feud between Ending Enjoyers and Ending Haters
Meanwhile me with popcorn
hell yeah brother
I liked it but I completely understand why people can hate it also, so give me some of those popcorn.
It was good for what Isayama was trying to convey. I just think those who dont like it dont understand the whole point of the story. To me it makes perfect sense @@markus10X
The thing with eren distracting the smiling titain is that one time paradox (think it's bootstrap) where an event happens then a character goes back in time to that moment and realises that even isn't going to happen so makes it happen. So eren making the smiling titain eat his mum is because that's how he had it happen and how it needs to happen so his precived events can still occur. There was no other way that happened. Atleast that's how I think that all works I'm not exactly sure correct me if I'm wrong.
It's still stupid. He didn't have to write it ignoring Bertholdt. Isayama wrote himself into a corner that he had to write himself out of. Very stupid. We didn't have to see it entering and ignoring Bertholdt.
He wrote it to explain the time paradox Eren was in.
Eren knows he needs Bertholdt so he saves him not knowing what year or time it is.
Time when Eren's mom is in danger.
@@m.i.aa.i.m383 He doesn't have to write Bertholdt being saved, my guy. It's a completely superfluous scene. There doesn't need to be a loop where Eren has to kill his mom. It's an unnecessary contrivance that ends up butchering Eren as a character.
@@aaronyaygerno, it demonstrates how stuck Eren is. Dina/smiling titan walked past Bertholdt. Dumb titans eat everyone, even titan shifters. Dumb titans also can’t be hidden from, see Season 1. Ignoring that incident would be leaning a loose end, even if most people would miss it. But, more importantly it has value that OG commenter mentions. Eren is stuck, if he stops Dina, his mom doesn’t get eaten, he never becomes the Founder, and but someone else does and completes the Rumbling. Like a fixed event from Dr. Who. This whole point is to illustrate that despite how immensely powerful Eren has become, he is incredibly powerless to change anything. We’ve seen this before when Eren failed to save Hannes. Eren is a tragic character. People will always live, fight to live and die, with or without Eren, with or without the existence of Titans. Despite how ludicrous the world seems, there we see multiple times how seemingly simple but meaningful moments keep driving the characters to live. Which I think is the point of Attack on Titan.
So back to your point I think it is valuable they included that scene. Please correct me if you disagree, I’ll be thinking about this finale all week
@@aaronyayger why does he not have to write it? So the story will be simple and open to more plot holes?
Imagine this,
You have the power of a god and you cant even save your mom?
How stupid is that story?
Eren didn't change anything in the past to possibly prevent the rumbling from happening because he actually WANTED to annihilate everything outside of the walls. He even says it himself. Protecting his friends and saving Paradis was always just a side effect of his true motivation, which was to completely stomp the outside world and turn it into the fantasy land Eren has been told about in Armin's books.
THIS THIS THIS. still pisses me off, it's like people think they understand Eren better than the writer who wrote the damn character. IDK if you ever read his AOT high school spinoff, but Eren in that would still fantasize about a zombie apocalypse that he could free his friends from. Fighting IS his character. He thought that stamping out everyone who hates Paradis is the best course of action.
@@Electronica27 Not to mention that Eren blatantly says it out loud that he wanted to destroy everything lol It doesn't get more obvious than that
@@wolfbrigade8042 its because people have a hard on for cool man rebel Eren. They want to believe he's cool AF, makes em just as bad as the Yeagerists tbh, and legit is like Isayama's way of being like "if you support him, you're just continuing the cycle of hate."
I think that you guys forget the part where Eren tells Armin that he intended to make them the hero's and give the world a chance for piece. Obviously this plan is extremely messed up, but he even states that he is just an idiot and couldn't think of a better way to save his friends. Yes, he does say that part of him wanted to see the world get flattened, but this is clearly not his intention, as he lets Mikasa kill him. If he wanted to there was nothing preventing him from taking away everyone's power to begin with.
I think this is another reason why we see what happens if Eren goes with Mikasa. Either way the world is destroyed by violence, so he was essentially stuck between letting his friends die, or going through with his plan to become the villain. Again, obviously what he does is not excusable, but Eren is not supposed to be some gynocidal maniac. He is intended to be a fool that gained power and didn't know the best way to use it. He is a slave to the ideal of freedom and is willing to do anything to protect his friends. This is just that taken to its farthest extreme.
@CombatUnit621 instead of calling out my argument lemme hear yours.
it is hard to make a good ending for a unexpected success. yeah different plot points could have been taken to make it more cohesive.
This show went downhill after season 3. Season 4 felt like bad quality at times and then after paths it spiralled out of control. Wtf was Isayama thinking? I got tired of the show and dropped it after season 4 pt 2. I didn't watch the final 2 parts and I don't think I ever will. Sad as AoT was my favourite ever show when season 3 ended. What could have been
Whether it was easy or hard, that's doesn't excuse the shit ending. I'd rather it be on indefinite hiatus than end like this.
@@zub41r75it was actually fire at start. After annie pie scene it went downhill
@@Doom_Guy__what exactly don’t u like abt it? To my understanding a lot of people don’t like it because of the extra pages and a war had broke out and it seemed like everything eren did was for nothing which in actuality his only mission was to make sure his friends lived a long and happy life which they did he accomplished his goal and I think the ending is appropriate it reflects our own world in a way, there’s always gonna be a group of individuals who who don’t accept others for who they are based on religion, or race u see that with Marley and Eldians and our world with all these hate crimes as of late, war is always gonna be a thing when it comes to humanity we can never coexist with eachother and accept others for who and what they are the ending to me is perfect aot is a dark story from beginning to finish
@@Alzrozax Well everything essentially WAS for nothing. The payoff of all the accumulated greatness from the show's most defining moments fell flat on its face in the end. I've seen literally fanfics with better endings than that. And then there's the absolute character assassination of Eren. It's okay for him to have regrets in the end but to be a complete child about it is embarrassing. I say wear what he's done, atrocities and all on his sleeve and own up to his own faults. There's more, but the video pretty much explained most of it. Feels like the time I invested in this show was completely wasted, YEARS. At this point, I'm just going to look for something similar with a way better ending cause yeesh. And don't give me that "it's hard to write good endings crap" either. Regardless of if it was hard or not that doesn't excuse the slop we got at the end of an almost well crafted story. Such a fumble 😔
Its been an honor to hope with all of u, hopechads
Eren is a powerful kid who never had a time to grow up.. and the future was already determined.
What
@@SpongeBob38
if he'd grown up and experienced the world a little like Zeke, he wouldn't have such disregard for all of humanity.
Maybe he'd choose to sacrifice paradis just like zeke.
I would agree but he literally changed events to make sure the rumbling happened which means he potentially could’ve stopped the rumbling along with 80% of the population dying.
@@christophergillis7019but because of the rumbling his friends lived the peaceful life
It id inevitable to eradicate concept of war and racism from this world
But eren made them equal so it would give them time to be happy and that's what they did
So he did achieved something
@@christophergillis7019 no he couldn’t when he was talking with Armin and he showed him what the rumbling would look like when it’s done and Armin did ask why don’t you stop and eren he tried every theory he could think of to stop the rumbling but basically get the same result of peace and it never worked it was determined and he didn’t determine it.
Let’s say ur friend group in High School is constantly bullied. One of your friends of the group decided to sh00t up the school and kill 80% of the staff and student body betting you guys would talk him down for the police to nab him or to stop him yourselves, thereby making u the popular kids in school for the rest of your tenure there. To boot no one really saw it happen cuz they’re all too busy running away, dying or hiding in their locked classes. And u say aww damn man that’s fucked up but I get it dude. Better yet once I graduate I’ll join u in jail cuz besties 4 life. That’s what AOT finale basically did. What a terrible way to get a theme across of violent cycles, true freedom/free will and friendship. SMFH a 10-yr blue balls
What is smfh?
As an American who only watched season 1 of this show and not really into anime to begin with, I am both laughing and crying that I can completely understand why everyone is so upset now. Great analogy. Other countries that actually care about their children will never understand
Ymir shouldn't have made any titans after the Doomsday titan to begin with, Eren literally freed her and told her it's alright to stop serving people that don't even know or care about you. Also the fact that killing Zeke stopped the Rumbling was strange as well considering that Ymir stopped caring about royal blood, but stopped the Rumbling because the royal blood disappeared
if you think that then you didnt understand
@@yeetnessthegreater1298 Didn't understand what?
@@furiousdestroyah9999didn't understand because its all about love. the whole show is about Love. how did you not realise that. u stupid? i did and now i am not stupid. wow what an ending
@@furiousdestroyah9999 Eren only offered sympathy for her, that doesn't mean liberation. Ymir was obviously angry but also she knew this action would lead to her final liberation and the end of the Titan powers
It is more like addiction (don't take it like that though), when you want to stop an addiction for a long time but really can't, it has attached itself to your mind so you can't get rid of it and instead rage (rumble) when you can't get over it and in the end are liberated from it by self realisation
THANK YOU, YOU SAID EVERYTHING
Everyone coping in the comments 😂😂
Ending was great 👌
I think Ymir could have definitely made easy work of everybody trying to stop Eren but i think she mightve held back because those were Eren’s friends. She could have easily taken Armin’s head off but clearly Eren already had plans for Armin with the memories coming back, she probably didnt want to get in the way of that.
exactly it lacks a solid foundation it leaves us guessing and its just lazy writing
@@TomTang-sj2zk no it isnt lmao ymir was watching mikasa and was going along with eren she was seeing if mikasa would have that moment with her lover like ymir and switz during the spear throw. to see if mikasa would of actually kill eren unlike her when she saved Fritz.
@@TomTang-sj2zklol it’s low IQ guys like you that gives the ending of the series a bad wrap.. you don’t even understand Ymir’s role or presence there
@@ItsMe-bt4tm That shit was stupid. You're telling me that in 2000 years Ymir didn't see a single instance of love or someone freeing themselves from their opressor. What about Ymir and Historia? Zeke and Grisha? Those are instances of love but if you're talking about specifically someone freeing themselves from their opressor, what about Historia overthrowing Rod Reiss, an opressive figure that tried to use her for his own goals?
2000 years but a half eldian killing her brother and kissing his decapitated head is what cured Ymir. Makes sense.
@@KBhunterx262 Yeah you named people who care for each other unlike Eren/Mikasa and Ymir/Fritz who were (romantically) in love. Different aspects of love.
Now if you wanna say Ymir loving Fritz is psychotic which is true I get that. But, if you look at real life and how fucked people of the past had relationships back then (incest, power, status, age gaps, multiple lovers) not all that far off on how we can see Ymirs viewpoint on what Love is to her and the relationship she had with Fritz. Imo her low IQ, Status, Daughters, and Empire they built together is what made her love Fritz in a sick way.
Don’t forget Paradis got carpet bombed
Eren explicitly said that he’s looked at many different scenarios of how all of this could have gone and this was the only way to keep his friends from dying and for them to live long happy lives. He also made the smiling Titan eat his mom to trigger the chain of events that would lead to this. I do get your point about the power of the founder and the pause of the rumbling. That part is a little fuzzy
but he also explicitly stated that he could not see what happens after he dies. So how does he know that his friends live long peaceful lives after he dies?
The rumbling paused coz zeke was killed, who was necessary for the activation of the rumbling
@@Dukehamyeah because zeke had the royal blood from his mother which is needed to control the titans
Bestie half of friends is dead
Eren starts everything which means all those people who died from the beginning is because of his faults
This bum could've easily use the 50 years plan since Historia and her children, grandchildren along with paradis people got nuked either way. It's worst because after he did the Rumbling, the outside world hate Paradis even more and in fear of retaliation children are probably trained for wars. It's crazy and it's shtyy . It's goes against what he stands up for up until the ending anyway. Children got dragged even more into the conflicts after facing literal genocide.
Ramzi,Halil, Sasha, Hange,Floch , Erwin,Mike, Colt, Porco, Ymir, Carla,Grisha,Zeke etc... everyone died because Eren is a "garden variety idiot" who apparently did it because he's an idiot and wanted to. Stop defending terrible writing

it wasnt bad peopole just dont like that erin had to die i loved the ending
@@taygettem580 i liked it too
Japan as a culture is like that. You apologize even when you don't have to. He created a story. His story. He owed no one anything. People didnt like it. And he apologized for disappointing them. But that doesnt mean he didnt believe in what he wrote.
@@xoreign thats the problem, because it is not HIS story. HIS story was different. he had planned a "mist" ending, but his cuck editors talked him out of it to this shitty ending. tells you a lot about him. hes just a sellout. if he would have just stuck with his own vision we wouldnt be in this mess.
27:48 I always prefered this. I didn't need Eren to be this master, all-knowing puppeteer that manipulated his own father in the past to get him to be able to pass the Attack Titan powers in weird time paradox shenanigans. I was absolutely ok with Eren being the manifestation of all the hate the world threw against the Eldians coming to give some of that hate and violence back and Armin and Co. breaking the cycle and restoring peace for a while or at least ending the Eldian-Humanity conflict forever. Now humans could erase themselves without the intusion of giants.
It would have been a more typical ending but The Last of Us showed us that you don't need an overly complicated plot to make a good story if the characters are good and I think AOT had that type of characters.
Yeah this. They flip flopped on the character every other story point. I guess to appease the shippers and fanboys. No idea. He has so many conflicts of interests and totally different goals and honestly changed his entire character in season 4 and made everything else pointless
I hate the time travel, alternate univerise shit
I respect that you don't like the ending, but that doesn't make it bad. It sure has some open ends and flaws, but you missed A LOT about the meaning of the ending.
Most important thing you missed: Eren was never free.
He was always a slave to the will of Ymir. Everything that happened had to happen, not because Eren wanted it, but because Ymir wanted it.
Yeah I get the irony that was attempted I just think the execution is done so poorly.
@@swiggity6232 that's the thing, it isn't that ironic. With everything that the ending revealed, it makes a lot of sense as to why Eren was never in control. There's a video by Turtle Quirk from two years ago, in which he brilliantly explains what's happening in the ending. I truly recommend it, it's very eye opening and it shows the true genius of the story. Besides all that, what Isayama did was to leave a lot to our own interpretation. Attack on Titan was never a flat story that could be explained in a few words. Right from the start, it was very complex and filled with twists and turns. I never understood how fans were expecting the ending to be different from that. There was never an easy way to explain or follow the story, so the real disappointment would've been to make it simple and flat. As I said, people don't have to like it and everybody is entitled to what they like and dislike, but that doesn't make it objectively bad. The execution was thought out very well, and it shows, otherwise there wouldn't be so much to say or think about it. But yeah, once again I recommend the other video, it talks about it better than I ever could
"Everything that happened had to happen cuz Ymir wanted it."
But also Ymir was a slave to King Fritz will and was powerless to deny it.
Also Ymir was finally freed by Eren and no longer had to obey Fritz ideals.
But actually she still wasn't free from Fritz bc she somehow was in love with her pedo rapist slave master and needed Mikasa to show her the way.
Why Mikasa all of a sudden? Only Ymir knows.
According to me the only good point you raised to which I agree with is "what exactly is founding Titan?"
Every other point is up for interpretation. To me Eren doing the rumbling created peace and ended this eldian-Marlian issue. The scenes we see in the end credits is of way into the future may be 300-400 years ahead and as like Erwin said as long as two men are remaining they'll keep fighting so then fighting is not necessarily cuz of previous issue at that time.
And lastly the kid going under the tree trunk is also up for interpretation, to me he is a kid like Eren and Armin who is just curious and wants to explore the world.
I was one of the dudes that said that attack on titan began as an amazing story. And ended like HOT GARBAGE
Here are some plot holes/problems with the ending…
1.Zeke dying shouldn’t have affected eren’s control of the rumbling (Plot Hole)
2.Eren shouldn’t have been able to transform into a colossal titan without Zeke or the hullucigenia (Plot Hole)
3.Eren/Ymir shouldn’t have been able to manipulate Mikasa’s memories since she’s a Ackerman (Plot hole)
4.Falco shouldn’t have been able to master his titan within minutes to a few hours (Either plot hole or contrivance/bad writing)
5. The hullucigenia scene MAKES ZERO SENSE… all it wants to do is live so why the hell was it going after eren? The worm is a parasite… just think about it all it needed was a host and there were plenty people surrounding it, so why didn’t it just attach to one of the dozens around it. (Plot Hole)
6. Ymir also makes ZERO SENSE she should basically have a 4D perception of things and be able to see the past,present and future. So why would she want to make any of this happen and see Mikasa or have eren tell her something if she already knew what happens(Plot hole or just bad writing)
7. Mikasa just apparently walks to paradis across hundreds to thousands of miles and crosses the ocean on foot (Kind of knit picky but still kinda bad writing)
8. Reiner the plot armor titan shouldn’t have been able to survive the blast from the colossal’s transformation.( contrivance)
9.The hullucigenia is never really explained like at all and it’s a key and foundational part of the story. They just kind of introduced a worm that has the ability to manipulate space/time, create pocket dimensions and give form to peoples will and don’t explain much about it. All we know is that it’s a ancient parasite basically. (Bad writing)
…Tell me if there are any plot holes I missed💀
There are other bad writing point as well but I don’t even wanna bother listing them. The ending was cool to watch, had a lot of eye candy and was a thrill ride but if you analyze it for a second even slightly objectively you realize it’s riddled with problems even outside of the array of plot holes. It’s a objectively bad ending even though it’s a cool watch.
1. Zeke was the one that bought Eren into paths, maybe that had something to do with it
2.He transformed into a colossal titan probably by just using the founding titan
3.Mikasa is still technically Eldian but she’s immune to certain things.
4.Bertolt was able to master the colosal titan with one transformation, Falco mastered it with his second with the help of memories from zeke
5.Because he’s the main host and had the founding titan.
6.Thats a good one, i need to look more into that
7.True, a reason for that would be nice.
8.Reiner always was able to survive a colossal titan explosion.
9.All we know is it was created during the beginning of the universe, it’s based on around life, and is a parasite.
@@7iscoe 1. Zeke was only needed because Ymir would only listen to royal blood but eren broke Ymir from her servitude of royal blood
2. He didn’t have the powers of the founder since the worm was detached and he also didn’t have control over the founder apparently since Zeke was killed that’s why the rumbling was stopped
3.Ackerman memories and mind can’t be manipulated by the founder that’s why they were persecuted
4. Bertholdt was likely taught how to use his titan before the mission to paradis just like the other titan candidates
5. Eren was no longer its host and there’s no reason why the parasite wouldn’t just attach to someone else especially after Zeke explains that it’s main goal is survival
8. No he has never been shown or said to be able to survive it until that scene and why would he be more durable than the founding titan anyways or be able to be severely damaged by a couple thunder spears but not completely destroyed by the “mini-nuke” from the colossal’s transformation.
9. It wasn’t said to be created at the beginning of the universe, it was one of the early life forms that existed tho and by the end of the series something as important and foundational as it should have been explained and elaborated on further especially when it’s abilities are so out of the ordinary in the AOT universe where most things are similar to real life.
One of the biggest disappointments for the ending with me was the hullucigenia . There was so much mystery building up behind the titans origins and to see it easily explained away by a parasite that latches onto a host was extremely underwhelming.
@@KingKongLaQuieshaI mean what else would it have been? Some weird force from an alternate dimension? Aliens? God?

Aot sucks it promotes terrorism and military aggression
Main characters are fighting in a war started by their own country(Eldia and Marley never signed a treaty, Eldia’s king just ran away to some island)

It's a beautiful ending. People will just barked anything they don't like. They thought ohhhh, everyone should be killed! nooo everyone should have an happy ending.
Let me remind you that Aot is a controversial story in the first place, ending is going to be hella divisive no matter what. The story is complex and there is no true way of ending this. There will be always those life unsatisfied.
This ending is a very good test to see how litterate people are.

@@haru2966 right back at ya.
@@jimjohnson6944 It's the reasons you ending haters come up with. That's what i'm criticizing.
Not because you don't like what i like. Nice strawman tho.
Wow, I didn't find all these problems, but the ending felt wrong to me because you have to bring these connections, these many loose threads together yourself, something that hasn't been the case to this extent in the whole story up to this point. It feels like one or more pieces of the puzzle are missing. In this context, to justify Ymir's actions for all these centuries ultimately through her love for the king seems implausible and incomprehensible to the audience against the backdrop of all the previous history. I never had a moment here where I thought "ok, that explains everything now".
All in all, this is complaining on a high level, but if there's anything to criticize about the series, then in my opinion it's clearly the ending.
It doesn't have enough satisfying explanations or the positive vibes to make up for it.
I honestly think isayama fucked up somewhere down the road where he just decided to change the ending to be less controversial than what he originally planned for the ending to be. This is quite plausible and actually eluded to with the retcons, red herrings, and plot holes season 4 had. To be upset is very understandable. It is what it is and we got the ending we got. And with that we must take what we can from this story. Not a happy unrealistic fantasy. Not a horrific villian domination. But an unsatisfying itch of grounded reality. We must keep moving forward. In a world where conflict is inevitable. To face tragedy with strength, to love and cherish the people we have, and to fight for a better outcome. Ultimately (plot holes aside) that is what this story means based on the ending, and that's as beautiful as it can get.
@@mystery785 this would be an explanation, but I heard that this actually is the ending he planned long ago. so another explanation would be that the story is simply evolved, and that the concept for the ending simply did not fit any more or not so good to the rest of the story.
@@mystery785 Yea he changed it after the success of Season 1 in response to the new found popularity, and the responsibility he felt to the readers/watchers.
He has been known to hesitate ALOT in his writings and u can see it here and there as time went on, and how any of the notable changes he oversaw for the anime adaption became the official canon tht retcons a good bit of what the manga has shown.
Ending being a perfect recent example where dialogue order, extended or added scenes, changes and pacing was improved a good deal.
And explains why the "backlash" was ALOT more minimal for anime onlys or converted manga readers from hating to loving or at least appreciating the ending for wht it is.
(Despite requiring the audience to go back through messages, symbolism, etc of the series to fully comprehend what the ending was trying to say)
Problems? More like general misconceptions about the series
Persoanly, for me, I was watching a video regarding the final episode and this RUclipsr said something that made the waffling from eren make compete and total sense, since Eren is observing the past present and future simultaneously he is a child whilst also being 2,000 years old, hence why we got the scene of him acting like a little kid as a grown man, he even prior to that had said “my heads messed up” which reinforces this concept. I also have a question, what the hell would aot be if eren never sent the Titan that ate his mother, what is the original timeline then? How would have things panned out?
always thought the moral of the story is quite simple "War war never changes"
Exactly. It doesn’t matter if Titans are involved or not. There will always be conflict. Erwin even says “The fight between man will never end. Not until our numbers fall to 1 or less”
Eren's goal was never to end wars. His goal was the end the cycle of hatred against Eldians.
@@300Xeon Then he failed spectacularly as after the rumbling everyone started hating Eldians even more
Due to circumstances his goal changed to making sure his friends were seen as heroes who live long and peaceful lives
@@xcrowx8140EXACTLY. which is why we're saying the ending is shite
Although for it's not really stated and more headcannon, I felt that Ymir gets freedom through Mikasa by learning to be ok with holding your abuser accountable. That is to say, she loved the old king out of Stockholm or PTSD or whatever, doesn't really matter, but that relationship is mirrored in Mikasa. She also loves Erin (for whatever reason) but hes hurting her. Hes killing her friends, calling her out, bringing her pain. Through Mikasa both accepting that she does love Erin but also doing what has to be done, Ymir learns that she can still love the old king even if she acknowledges that he did terrible things to her. The moment where Mikasa kisses Erin after decapitating him is for me, that critical moment (so i didn't hate it) But! literally all of that was contrived and is never actually stated or really talked about in the show so i might be giving too much credit
No that's literally what the motive is, it's more detailed in the anime than the manga. Isayama wrote the script for the anime I think to kind of get more of the point across because for manga readers a lot of it was kind of vague (I also read the manga). A lot of his points and issues with the manga were provided way more nuance in the anime.
Bro who is this erin thing
Eren wasn't even her abuser, he literally said he wanted to live with her. Ymir herself made eren look the abuser and then made him kill 80% of humanity just so mikasa will finally stop being " uwu eren" and kill him so ymir can be free. Tell this isn't the dumbest plot
This makes sense especially considering that eren was such a bully when he met her and armin at the table before setting off to find zeke. He had already visited her through the paths, he had professed his love for her many times. He only ever said truly hateful and hurtful things to her at that table. Probably because he knew he had to to get her to strike him down at the end.
That whole plot was really stupid.
its an ending so bad it actually retroactively makes everything else meaningless

My thing was always, if you can control and manipulate titan powers, why not just turn them all into Ackermanns? No more titans and a built-in defense system for every individual if the situation calls for it. Otherwise theyre no different from everyone else!
Because there's a limit to a power... it has never been established clearly how the Ackermanns have been created, it might require a holder to have royal blood because they are supposed to protect royalty in the first place.
@@OneWithinn But Royal blood is bullshit. It's all Eldian blood in the end, the only thing that makes it different is Ymir's obedience to the memory of King Fritz. with the full powers of the founding titan unlocked, Eren should've had no problem doing this.

Armin-determination?you do this by you own will and you call it determination
Armin-why this is happening,is there really no other choice
Eren-i thought i do this for protecting you guys,but sahsa,hange,floch died because of me
Eren-why?why this is the the only "possibilities and outcome that happening",
Eren-its because iam 1diot that got too much power
Eren actually have choicee,he doesnt got slaved by fate but in fact got slaved by his own will and his own egoism
,his main motive thst makes him "choose" rumbling is to satisfacting his desire of false freedom,the sight of freedom he always dream of,sure there other motives like erased titan power,protecting paradise,save his friends,but deep down he wanted to satisfacting his egoism
i get it, its too complex for you to like,all you are suggesting is a fairy tale ending but i think author chosen more depressing and quite realistic ending,humans are not as loving and caring as naruto makes you think and there is nothing as pure evil or pure good
and eren did lelouch here which everyone seemed to love and praise that as greatest ending of all time
I liked the ending too but its too complex is a dumb argument. I think why so many people hate the ending is because eren dies or because of his final moments like him crying and being pathetic or how convenient it was like the titan helping and falco being able to fly.
@@AbduletifMuhidin i m not making that argument he is, all the changes he suggested he is simplifying the story and character ,and yeah a character can be both pathetic simp and motivated chad,that's what makes them complex just like real human,and in their finalmoments humans can be emotionally vulnerable and "pathetic"
about the convenient plot points i think if you put your brain into every plot point in every story is convenient but i get that criticism since even i feel ending is being rushed or probably it is open to interpretation
Wait Eren is just worst LeLouche?!
always was
I'll say the animation was certainly and deservedly the best of the series, given the scale and significance.
I'd read the manga so the ending did not hit me as hard as anime only watchers may have been. Its one of those endings that really don't satisfy you, but then there is no better ending to the series.
My gripes were oddly more of the tonality and score. AOT was the anime that got me into the importance of having a great score, so it has really set standards for me. Here, I felt that the score and both the tonality was pretty much more Marvel-ly, with energetic, upbeat music. Certain scenes required really better accompanying soundtracks that could leave you feeling heavy.
They did bring back some classics, but the impact was quite diluted. It almost felt they really wanted to milk out the action.
Also the scene with Armin and Eren about Mikasa, pretty much turned into a meme, and really just abandoned the emotional weight Eren had. They did the scene with the 80% population trampled dialogue much better, and I wish the same tonality could have been utilized for that scene as well.
The best scene for me was people lifting the crying baby. Very masterfully done. And I guessed it summarized the episode well. Great in bits and pieces.
It's crazy. Aot has been my favourite anime since I started watching it, and its been a great story to watch unfold.
Definitely wasn’t the best of the series but it was still really really good.
@@kwenqs Maybe. Personally was the best for me.
I'm still trying to find constructive criticism of the ending, it was literally perfect for me and everyone's critics seem to be like 'Eren didn't stay an edge lord like I wanted him to and had a emotional breakdown'. Maybe the anime culture just isn't mature enough for a realistic story and ending like Attack on Titan
@@CPTZK11 I honestly felt the ending was quite decent as per the story and theme of the series. It didn't drop a magic solution to all the bloodshed and loss, and war is like that. The Naruto Anime touches upon this stuff briefly during the Pain arc, but Aot is much more comfortable with handling grey characters than Naruto.
I'll say that while it was not exactly a plot hole, the whole angle about Ymir being in love with King Fritz needed to be explored in detail in her backstory. Given that all we have seen of him was a selfish, cruel person, what exactly made her love him is really questionable unless he showed some flashes of light that probably she pined for. I get the abusive relationship stuff, and I think the weight of that could have been better understood by that.
@@CPTZK11 Did you uh... watch the video? He brought up thousands of points that had nothing to do with edge lord Eren...
The titan’s abilities seem to be different overtime due to mixing of spinal fluid and the intake of the predecessor abilities, this is backed up by experimentation with the Ackerman’s and with the consumption of the hardening serum by Eren. It’s also why Rod Reiss told Historia that he picked out a powerful titan for her and it’s also why Falco asked Annie if it was true the Female titan could mimic abilities of other titans after consuming a piece of them.
It also explains why all the Jaw titans except for Ymir had a hardened face plate (because they were injected with spinal fluid of the Warhammer titan) and it also explains why Falco also has a face plate (He was injected with Zeke’s spinal fluid which he had hardening as shown with Levi vs Zeke battle).
We also know every titan shifter takes on characteristics of themselves hence why Zeke is able to throw shit across the battlefield, why Eren is the attack titan and why Bertholdt and Armin were the Colossal titan (they didn’t want seek violence but yet given massive amounts of power).
It’s also why when Eren uses the founder titan he becomes a titan that looks like a puppet on strings. So it’s not an ass pull for Falco to turn into a bird like titan since his name very much derives for “Falcon”, especially with zeke’s spinal fluid he’s able to manifest powers akin the beast titan’s form.
Agreed, good thinking.
Since titan powers are transfered through spinal fluids, it's kinda like dna imo, and dna has mutations, things keep changing. Also, all of the shifters don't have completely different powers, all came of the same body after all
Lmao, imagine arguing that Falco being a bird makes sense because his name is close to "falcon"
Holy cope
Another thought, its the beast titan, not Ape titan. So why cant the beast titan not be any sort of beast, like a bird for example
The ending of the Manga is a real black pill moment for humanity. I was hoping the Anime would use the coordinate to spin an alternate ending.
it still will
@@Beepsow7428 IDK bout that
@@Beepsow7428 It did not, lay off the copium.
Ending was TERRIBLE. Don’t even get me started with the half-assed explanation of Ymir’s pure love over a man than Clapped her beloved family members, IN FRONT OF HER. StalkHolm syndrome is a stretch for me here. In abusive relationships, at least we see that there was grooming and good at one point. It was just all bad with her and the king…..
even if we hate the ending no one can complain about how well the topics and lessons of this show was handled. and done correctly.
who the fuck cares

Fuckin joker. The AOT ending was perfect.

To think, had Mikasa been honest about her feelings, Eren wouldve taken a different path
This whole story is about how women don't communicate properly 😂😂😂
@@Nebula_303 lmaoooooo
If Eren would have taken different path and paradise would have been destroyed right there !😂
Bro did you skipped the cabin scenes ?
it's about women being dumb and not able to tell men to go fu*k themselves (ymir, historia, mikasa, annie) (c) a woman
@@AM17titan who cares? paradis got destroyed anyways lmao. nothing matters anymore. it just doesnt make any sense its so stupid. isayama should really go back to writing school or something like that..
I love the ending. Very emotional. This reminds me of Code Geas. Also Eren’s plan was flawed and not full proof. The story owns this and is discussed between Eren and Armin. In the end Eren literally says this all happened because he’s an idiot.
He also stated to have looked at other paths and that this was the only way (Dune vibes here).
Everyone knew conflict wouldn’t end even if he destroyed the world conflict it would just be reduced to Paradis island. Eren just evened the playing field preventing the world from destroying Paradis. Even though it wasn’t everlasting, Paradis Island did know peace for 100s if not a few thousand years.
you completely misinprate him,if you wanna make analysis recontex all the word he said and not make asumpsion by one word,armin-so do you did this for us
Eren-no

But didnt he say in the last episode when he was talking to Armin, he tried many different times to change how things would end up, and it still ended up the same... the rumbling still happened everything he tried to change the way things played out...
Yup
Can you give like one example of how he tried to do that. All this time he was slaved by ymir's will to be free and that kills the character of eren, pretty simple
@tipu._.9245 He saved Ramzi when he was getting beat up in the alley even though he tried to walk away and ignore it.
@mckloggins which doesn't make sense. If you know the future, it should be easy to change it. Just not save ramzi. Run away with mikasa. Doesn't seem very hard to do.
@@jyotirani8187 Even he knew the future but eren always is eren, he still help the boy anyways as the future he saw, no matter what he saw in the future. Future eren and present eren still the same
Imagine asking someone why they killed your mother, and knowing after a lot of pages and letters that you were actually the one who killed your own mother using coordination to change the future, the best loop script, well done Isayama.
Imagine genshit weebs didnt capable to understand that if carla didnt die grisha will never give founding titan to eren,he literally begging zeke to stop him,oh maybe you want entire paradise got obliterate
@@Thundeclapbro no one misunderstands that. Its just bad writing when it seems to literally go against everything the character stood for and retroactively make scenes pointless. Not to mention she wouldve died anyway. Dina was an abnormal who already had a reason to visit Grisha's home (end of S3) so there was no need for eren to control her in the first place. its just a badly written "twist" for shock value
p.s. Paradis definitely got obliterated anyway thanks to Eren's genius plan. The remaining 20% of the world is FAR more people than the population of Paradis. Theres no possible scenario in which they would've won
*The way they ditched the characters during the time skips is just outrageous!*
*Not closing the circle for the characters and not few panels with Mikasa its messed up but novels could've fixed it!*
I dropped it and now I see why. I lost interest after season 4 pt2. It just wasn't the same. It felt rushed at times and inconsistent in season 4 and honestly I can't be bothered to see the ending which was sadly my favourite show ever at one point
Aot sucks it promotes terrorism and military aggression
Main characters are fighting in a war started by their own country(Eldia and Marley never signed a treaty, Eldia’s king just ran away to some island)
Main characters literally start a military coup on the government
Main protagonist (who is portrayed heroically as doing things for his friends) attacks the entire world and is thanked by his former friend(who is portrayed heroically)for his aggression and genocide

After listening to your video I don’t think you understood a lot of what happened.
The fact marley used their airships to attack eren instead of evacuating civilian people further from the rumbling speaks volumes about their thinking abilities. I wonder how this country even survived within 2000 years
Marley would be so doomed if they didn’t have most of the Titan powers
@@sanaralerx9488 they sent 6 of their 7 titans to some island and were significantly weakened. They should have been attacked right after Maria's fall
Maybe I’m just a smooth brain, but all I wanted was Eren to successfully protect his friends. He did. I was satisfied.
Yup
Its because you didn't read the manga in one go like we did. You had multiple breaks between the anime episodes, for example one part releasing 6 months to a year later, so you forgot what happened, otherwise you would have seen all the inconsistencies and retcons like us
He didn't. He got Sasha killed, killed Hange, under his yaegerists many Paradisians died including Shadith and Pixis (whom Eren had a quite good realtionship from the start). Same with the yaegerists who got radicalized because of his actions, like Floch, Daz and Samuel (all his comrades in the scouts). He almost got Levi killed and scarred for life. In the final Battle he seemingly tried to kill the Alliance, shooting Onyankopons Plane down, going after them with multiple Titanshifters. Many last seccond saves and thick plotarmor, the fact none died is thanks to bad writing not Erens restraint.
He got Jean and Connie turned into titans, not knowing they could be turned back (because remember he didn't understand Ymir, only Mikasa did, which caused the end to the titan powers).
Oh and he also killed his mom. But did he protect them through these actions? No.
It's Armins talk no jutsu that makes the tenuous peace possible. Now his remaining friends are condemned to live in a hyper militarized, fascist society that worshippes Eren as their Messiah, surely that will go well for them.
As well as live with the lasting psychological trauma of seeing untold millions crushed like ants in their name. How will this affect people like Jean, who joined the scouts because he believed he couldn't bear the knowledge that innodents were dying while he made a cozy existence in Stohess?
Not that it matters, all their descendants get wiped out anyway in the credits.
Fuck.
@@shapeless6755 thanks for your detailed response bro. Kudos ❤️
@@abrarahmad6370 i rewatched the entire show with my gf after final chapters part 1 aired in March. It was pretty fresh in my mind, i didn’t notice anything wrong with the ending. There was DEF a lot of “plot no jutsu” but nothing bothered me that much. Again, maybe I’m smooth brain.
Ok , everyone is forgetting eren is just an edgy teen lol. When Armin showed him the book, the outside wall was just empty without people and when he discovered there's people in it he just wanted to erase them. Simple, there it is, That was Eren's goal.
Not necessarily, sure he wanted there to be no humans outside the walls so he can enjoy that freedom and I can't blame him after seeing what they have done through his father's memories, but that's not why he caused the rumbling. He still did it because he wanted his friends to live long lives that's why he didn't take away armins, Reiner's, Annie's, and falcos titan powers so they could still kill him and make them seem like heroes or so the eldians has a chance to persuade the Marlyans. Eren is just a very confusing character.
That'd be better than what we got. What we got was some nonsense about turning Armin into a hero. You know, for the 20% of humanity left that has been knocked back to the Middle Ages. I'm sure the roaming gangs of the new wasteland will be very thankful.
They pulled an Itachi for Eren and it backed fired 😊
Well at least Itachi didnt kill 80% of the population
The anime was actually slightly different that last convo between armin and Eren the slight shift in where things were said and reactions made a massive impact
Man I always had a bad feeling about the ending but the way you explain it all makes me realize just how bad it really is. WOW. what a failure to an amazing series.
Best anime ever made....yes he did have to kill 80% don't care if he didn't have the smilingly titan attack his mom then he wouldn't even be the same him...
Really mad they didn’t drop the final episode as a movie in Theaters. Would have gladly bought a Imax ticket for this
Attack on Titan took the MCU Phase 4 and Game of Thrones route. Lol
I liked the anime ending. I think Nick’s problem with it is just him wanting it to have a straightforward good vs evil ending and storyline. A big point was that the two sides were NEVER going to coexist in peace. That’s why everything restarts at the end, that’s why the sides keep fighting for centuries at the end. Everything was “pointless” But it’s more of a commentary on the conflict of man. It’s extremely telling that the author named it The Battle Between Heaven and Earth - not the battle between heaven and hell
People just don't understand the ending.
Not only that but some wanted a happy ending too
@@randomguy1928correct.
yh i completely disagreed with him on that but he was right in a lot of what he said in this video imo. A lot of it wasnt logical and didnt feel like the big aot moments of old where it was just perfectly crafted. and i watched the anime and just didnt like how it looked that much i think mappa didnt do the best job on it imo, like when zeke said the world is beautiful but it looked awful… i know wit wouldve made it look amazing.
Ending credits and post credits scene is one of my favorite aspects of the finale (and I disliked this pages initially, when they came out in the manga). The fact that wars will start again is not depressing, it's just reality of life that sooner or later will happen to us as well. This is whole point of Armin and Zeke speech. If they left things ambiguously open ended, without showing the future fans would be even more furious saying that Paradise gonna get bombed few months later. If they decided to just show Paradise prosperous and peaceful in the future - message of aot would be even more ridiculous like "Eren stopped all wars forever"
@@randomguy1928 Wrong.
The lack of clarity might be the biggest problem with AOT's ending.
I think the ending was a huge mess.
Been a while since I enjoyed one of your videos, good one dawg
I thought the anime handled the ending a lot better than the manga. Especially the scene in the paths between Eren and Armin
I watched the last episode and thought it was a good ending. Eren is a complicated character, there's layers to the truth of his actions which he justifies and rationalises with Armin. The first layer is the idea of making his friends heroes by becoming the enemy, the second layer is for Mikasa, his friends and Eldians to live long lives without being Subject of Ymir which he accomplishes, but the final layer is that he simply wanted to trample the world and commit genocide. Eren did not change, he's still the whiny, naive child, we saw before he kissed Historia's hand, he wanted to kill all who stood between him and his freedom. And what happens afterwards is the reality of human history; war, conflict and destruction repeating itself.
At the 22 min mark right now and i need to write this: Eren is stuck in a grandpa paradox. If Eren makes it so the Smiling Titan dosent eat his mom, the show as we know it dosent happen and Eren dosent get to the point where he can influence the Smiling Titan. In the whole show, Eren dosent have free will. He is trapped by his own future memories. For him, there is no "alternate timeline". This will happen, because they aren't premonitions, they are memories. He has to do what he does, because he has already done it. There is no way for him to not enact the memories exactly they are.
Let's be honest. Sasha dying was the real downfall of Attack on Titan.
The fall down started
No her death led into alot of great moments with everyone but I would've been fine if I got a slide show of everyone's lives up untill they died
Who's Sasha?
What i hate about this ending is how eren killing his own mother essentially removes any limitations on his time powers
What made it cool to me at first is that he apparently was only able to control past attack titans, but now it is revealed that he can control ANY pure titan across time, which just introduces countless plot holes to the series which could have been easily avoided.
Wow my dude, tell me you didn't understand the story without telling me you didn't understand the story. It is made very clear at the end that Eren himself doesn't even know how the coordinate powers work. Only Ymir knows and she doesn't speak. And Eren only gained the power to control titans across timelines AFTER he got in the coordinate. It is never definitely stated that the future is fixed and you can't begin to comprehend what it feels like to be able to see causes and effects across multiple timelines. Maybe Carla just died in ever single one of them, think about it, if Eren had not started the rumbling, Marley would have nuked Paradis anyway
Eren was being influenced by Ymir. I speculate one or both of them knew that his head would grow into a new Tree. Starting the cycle over again BUT with the possibility for it to be different 🤞🏼
Thinking about him killing his mom, i like to think its one of those butterfly effects of well dina couldnt kill bertolt for plot sake but in consequence it went to carla. Like in decision games where even if you didn’t directly choose to kill a character, your past decision influenced the next which did kill the character.
Not pure titans, Diana, A royal blood
You… you do realize Eren was able to control pure titans… after gaining the ability to fully use the founding titans powers… right?
it was ok but the kiss was vile af. felt like some fan fiction, i am not against the kiss but they coulda done it in the cabin paths scene which actually felt romantic. not with his lifeless decapitated head 💀
23:25 eren was in the head of the founding titan not the neck.
The centipede died when Ymir was broken out of her heartbreak I’m guessing
Season 3 PEAK aot
Season 3 was like "Oh here's this big climactic, cool cliffhanger and so many questions are finally answered."
Then Season 4 was like "Lol, I'm a political drama with two annoying ass kids that I'm forcing down your throat. Oh, your favourite main character? He's just evil now. Why? I dunno. Thought it would be funny. Also let me waste over 2 hours of your time with episodes that add literally nothing to the story and just further some extremely nonsensical mystical god bullshit and entirely destroy the mystery of everything."
What a dogshit last season. God I'm fuming from it ffs.
@@BushBumperBakeri agree with everything you said except the political part. aot was always a political anime, since the very beginning political themes were integral to the story. the problem is that those political themes would naturally have led up to paradis eldians fighting against the oppressors aka the rest of the world for their freedom and winning. and ig isayama didnt have the spine to go through with that. honestly, aot was actually a seinen and should have stayed one. but nope, isayama and his editors wanted to make cash so they turned it into another cringe shounen in the last season
@@BushBumperBaker this comment is so funny because this was exactly what the audience was saying during season one, with Eren and Armin being the annoying kids. Also, what do you expect you are watching a fantasy anime a good like bigger is too crazy for you?
Aot is the code geass your mom says you have at home
I feel like people are taking subjective matters of the story too technical, then taking technical aspects of the story a little too relative.
People just don’t know what’s a good story.
No cap… the ending was 🔥. Goated Series. Goated Ending.
In the end, Reiner never got to marry Historia.
What happened to her?
@@the_chronic_sneezer she got dicked by farmerkun a faceless nobody and mikasa got dicked by jean while eren was watching as a bird
I just appreciated the story for what it was. I kinda growed up watching AOT and I felt a kind of satisfaction when it came to an end, even if wasn't a proper one or one that other's didn't like.
nah, "most" (not all) of the hate on aot ending I feel is imo is a comprehension issue.
And since the manga was being released monthly back then, people came up with different types of theories for the conclusion with and people buying in to those theory for like a month (like "is there a multiverse" etc. etc.). Since it is a fact that the manga did put in the table with stuff that can mislead people especially since they are introduced then people had to wait for another month for the story to actually clarify what that stuff meant. And the ending not actually swaying towards anything this stuff people theorized mostly ended up disappointing people regardless of whether those theories are in essence "good" or objectively better than the actual ending. Add that to the factor that people do in fact have this "want for more or want that the series should go more for a few chaopters) which makes people to overly eager to find every reason to claim the ending was being rushed in some way or another.
But since the anime made this last few chapters be released as a whole package, (with the content mostly the same with revisions on particular dialogues but is still paced basically the same as the manga) and people don't really have much of the feeling that the ending was "being rushed" proves that even the actual manga did not really pace the ending so severely fast that it is controversially rushed or anything.
i agree
