Gonna compare Eren's method vs. Zeke's to give my own interpretation. With Zeke's euthanization, Eldians and the people of Paradis will still be persecuted and probably even more so should the knowledge that they no longer have titan abilities come out. Eren's method is a bit two-fold: Taking out 4/5ths of humanity while having an Eldian in "Armin" land the final blow gives them credibility in the eyes of the remaining survivors. Should that not suffice, then they are at least now on a more level playing field should they have to continue to go to war. You could tell from his talk with Armin as well as with Ramzi at the internment camp that he was fighting against it, but he also admitted that a part of him feels like he would've went through with it regardless of Ymir (or Grisha's) influence.

Strong Jesus to Eren parallels with the dreams sequence with how Eren explained the sins he did and why

damn i just googled the meaning of 139 and 140 and this hit me hard

Yeah fr a lot of shows have difficulties landing the ending

I've been reading everywhere about mfers saying Eren plans and action were for nothing like bro, did you not read the chapter? He literally got what he wanted, the man literally explained everything and you still miss it

Happens usually during the leak stage or when a chapter is freshly released. People don't pay attention to everything and want to look at things very isolated.

At least for me, I’ve seen parallels from the two since last year before we knew when it was over. I think sweeping comparisons between the two is definitely lazy, but there’s minor comparisons to be made

GoT is a literary epic, so it’d make sense if some other writers wanted to take elements from it

So glad Bertholdt got a panel in the last chp the series mascot!

I thought it was really horrible after the first read but after painstakingly read through other communities right after, some of my critiques had explanations

I think it’s important to understand your personal weaknesses as a reader. I don’t re-read anything so there’s integral minor pieces I won’t remember

I would've prefered a more bittersweet ending. But I still enjoyed it. What a ride, I'm thankful I got to experience it.

This is what you all gave your hearts for...

Ooouuuu we still defending bad writing and lame endings because we enjoyed the majority of the story until then

Thought we learned our lesson through GoT, Evangelion, and Death Note but I guess some people skipped class

okay, one question i have is, when did eren learn about his future? after he ate his pops? or after historia touched him?

It def is a bad ending. Especially for Eren, not feeling how he was handled in this final chapter.

When he touched Historia.

Tbh that fan theory someone posted a while back was a way better ending.

Plot holes ≠ unanswered questions

Precisely. Eren put Armin in a position to significantly bolster race relations for Eldians. And that has to work, because with Paradis as the current world superpower, there's nothing stopping them from going and finishing what Eren started. Which is why Reiner, Jean, and the rest of the alliance are on their way to Paradis at the end of the chapter.

can tell you're no fun

Evangelion and Death Note do not have bad endings

they really had a fan edit of 139 on readsnk lmaoo mfs are pressed

they're too upset
