How do people like this ending. Eren gave little to no explanation to the reason for the rumbling, became a Mikasa simp overnight with no foreshadowing to his true feelings, paths worm wasn’t explained at all, Ymir vanishes completely, and Ymir was apparently in love with her abuser for 2000 years? Why is this ok? How can anyone be ok with this? I love AOT with all my heart but this ending left much to be desired. How to destroy one of the best main characters in fiction 101. Eren completely changed personality in this chapter with no foreshadowing or explanation given.
Edit: not only that, how can you have Eren accept that Paradis will only be at peace if the rest of the world is killed off, but then now he’s ok with only 20% of the population left? And now the small island of Paradis, the 1% of the world, has no Titan powers and only their primitive technology to protect them from the rest of the 19% left? How does that make any sense? The rest of the world can’t just be like “even though they killed off everyone we love we won’t go to war with Paradis” that is a foolish assumption, and a huge plot hole that hasn’t been addressed. How is everyone so happy and ok with it? Why would Eren be ok with not accomplishing his goal in the first place? Did his search for “freedom” not mean anything? And killing Carla wasn’t essential to the plot.. like why was that plot twist even included...
If I get any hate, let me just say this: AOT is my favorite series of all time. I absolutely love this story. But the way these characters were handled in the end.. it breaks my heart. How can it be ok to send a message that being in love with your abuser was ok. What was the point of Eren being in love with Mikasa even though he treated her like s$&t the entire series. What was the point of him wanting freedom... his personality change was completely out of left field... Historia’s pregnancy was teased so much, her POV was never given, and it ends up having no significance to the story whatsoever... I love this story, I do. But what a mess and disappointment this chapter was. At least Eren is dead and at peace, which is the only good thing I found about this ending.
