yall literally setting yourselves up for disappointment aot part 2 is not going to have an anime original ending💀mappa animators are overworked to the bone they're certainly not going to make new storyboards from scratch in 6 months
#AOT130SPOILERS
it’s not because of the ackerbond but because of LOVE... mikasa protects eren because she loves him... levi protected erwin because he loved him excuse me for a sec-
how are we supposed to believe ymir was waiting all this time for mikasa when eren's words in 122 were the ones that moved her to tears, the only one who saw her as a free human being for once? even the chapter was named from you 2000 years ago. how do some of yall buy it💀
noé literally invented romance he wanted to tell vanitas that he likes him but he knows vanitas would be uncomfortable since he has intimacy and self-worth issues so he decided to deny it with a fond smile and say it in a way that won't scare him😭
the way yall try to make eren's perfectly legitimate emotional breakdowns over the death of his mom, hannes etc look the same as whatever the fuck this is will never sit right with me
the way mappa won't cut historia in the beginning of 122 and anime onlies will also start thinking historia will be relevant to ymir bc of all their parallels only to be proven wrong like us lmao
remember when ending defenders were doing all sorts of mental gymnastics to justify this panel and how we were all dumb and couldn't understand the nuance of this statement and then isayama himself said it was badly expressed and mappa straight up removed it
the thing is, isayama can handle the heavy themes he chose really well but for some reason he fumbled near the end and is making excuses. if he didn't have the strength to establish his own conclusion he should have stayed away from the topic of genocide and racism altogether
@iaisotria
that's bs, we KNOW he can write and can express himself well, i think this is an excuse for choosing a fanservice ending that makes no sense imho
remember when eren was conflicted bc he understood the easier solution would be for paradis to vanish but he just couldn't go along with that plan?? he didn't even mention only his friends but the island altogether. eren stopping the rumbling willingly was the biggest retcon
idk why most popular anime characters are physically strong ones that bring in cool action scenes. imo the most interesting characters are the ones with depth, complexity, mental strength and character development. who gives a shit about physical strength😭
last thing im gonna say on the interview is that while i understand having insecurities and being stressed over the ending, when you incorporate themes of genocide and racism you have a moral responsibility to end them properly and condemn these. dismissing that to give fans +
the difference is that one conversation is about genocide the other is about feelings💀
u guys need to stop embarassing yourselves with these posts and ship what u want without making shitty comparisons
the way ppl say 'eren in his last moments is presented as a teen with emotions' meanwhile whenever he was on the verge of death (shiganshina, trost, fight with warhammer titan, getting shot before paths) he never once thought about mikasa
i get wanting to satisfy ur readers but actually doing a complete fanservice ending at the expense of ur characters, themes and consistency is not something i respect, especially when u include politics and genocide in ur story
the fact that aot ended and the hot topics for most of the fans are whether mikasa is a Pure Virgin and if she and eren reunited in the afterlife show how weird the finale of a story about war and oppression is💀
isayama wanting to bring old eren back after the rumbling just goes to show he sacrificed his character development for cheap nostalgia, to unsuccessfully redeem him and to make a fanservicey ending that would appeal to the readers lol
no offense but isayama wrote the historia/ymir parallels intentionally ain't no way this was the ending he had planned for her when her pregnancy was directly linked to the plan of the rumbling. not even talking about ships, simply that she was sidelined bc he changed his mind
owari no seraph is so fucking funny bc the author has NO idea what women talk about. the only banter u can spot between women in the manga is them fighting over who has the biggest boobs. i can guarantee u absolutely NO woman has ever had such a fight
''eren didn't deserve to achieve anything'' yeah you're right his actions are reprehensible and he deserved to suffer. however we as readers have seen eren's journey, all his efforts, the blood and tears he shed. if all the hardships of the mc are for nothing, what's the point?
if yams wanted us to think em love was so strong it broke a curse then why did he show eren treating mikasa like shit half the time and had him show the bare minimum of concern over her well being? him asking her are u okay when she's hurt is not romantic it's normal
isayama didn't fucking draw chapter 108 for yall to say he meant what he said to mikasa and armin. this emotional scene was meant to show us that the present eren may be cruel, but he is merely trying to protect his friends, as always. eren haters please get a grip
yuki kaji said eremin rights
jokes aside it speaks volumes that even yuki kaji who is an em fan didn't think eren's outburst was romantic but rather selfish/possessive
#aotspoilers137
ngl I used to hate Zeke a lot but his tragic backstory along with his development is amazing. Isayama's writing is so good I cried during his death, which is something I never thought I'd do. I feel like his arc wrapped up excellently
mikasa: eats ice cream happily while eren is lost in his father's memories without participating in the one sided conversation at all
guidebook: this is how their normal lives would be like. how cute
still not over isayama's "i should have drawn a kiss because mikasa probably wanted a kiss" like what about what eren wants💀 he's practically admitting eren's been reduced to a plot device and i hate it
a closure that you think will make them happy is irresponsible on multiple levels. you can't throw out the window heavy themes with real cosequences in our world. i respect isayama's honesty but i'm still disappointed in this decision to favor fans' opinions
i think the reason why im still upset over aot every couple of weeks is that i don't understand how someone could write such a meticulous story and be okay with leaving every single character arc incomplete or making it the opposite of what it was in the last minute
what was the point of mikasa realizing she was only seeing the good parts of eren bc of her affection and idealization if in the end he turned out to be exactly who she thought he was. what happened to the original plot of the movie
thinking about how well written eren was only to be destroyed in the end of aot bc yams wanted to redeem him for fanservice now my meow meow will be remembered by everyone as a loser instead of an amazing character i cant do this anymore
i kinda hate how i used to love mikasa bc i thought she'd grow independent and stop idealizing eren and i rly thought she'd get another meaningful relationship w another character other than armin (bc their friendship is centered around eren) and this never happened
@yeagerhub
so basically the editor is throwing aot under the bus and saying that if someone thinks the ending is trash bc it justifies genocide then it will start a movement about condemning genocide? newsflash asshole genocide has been bad the entire goddamn time
no bc i want to know what isayama was thinking when he wrote eren having to stop at 80% did he think fans were gonna say oh he left 20% alive so he's still good
shitting on people for being inspired to create new things, like music, fanfics, doujin or fanmade videos kinda makes me sad people who create something harmless for no profit only because they felt creative is not something to make fun of idk
if yuki kaji as a reader is allowed to think eremin was more prevalent in 139 and eren's tantrum wasn't bc he has romantic feelings for mikasa then so am i
the bonus chapter literally feels like
dante: we dare you to kiss the next person that walks in the room
vanitas: that's bullshit idc about this stupid game-
*noé comes in*
vanitas: u know what rules are rules
''eren was always a crybaby'' im sorry i didn't know that seeing your mom die in front of your eyes, being told your dad killed a whole family, learning you ate your dad and seeing another parental figure die in front of your eyes are all perfectly normal things not to cry about
i understand why some ppl find cute a ship where someone does everything for the other and at the end the other person finally reciprocates but imo just bc someone treats u like a priority that doesn't mean u should be forced to like them back romantically
the worm is still alive because mikasa's love wasn't strong enough??? this wattpad fanfic can't have been written by the same person who wrote marley arc i just can't believe it and i will die on this hill
mikasa is not a girlboss nor a good character or even a product of feminist writing simply bc she's physically strong. everything she ever did was defined by eren's physical or metaphorical presence which was unfair and sexist as hell
the way ems are fine with the ending just because em is canon will never not be funny to me. yams wrote eren's side in the laziest way possible with the bare minimum of acknowledgement on eren's side in only 1 panel in the last chapter, saying the breakdown came to him on a whim+
aot movie for 132-139 be like
heartbreaking scenes with people getting stomped to death while clutching desperately at each other. everything is hell and it's eren's fault
10 mins later: eren is cool, he let 20% of humanity survive so he can't be THAT bad
130 convo according to the manga
eren: i'll never let them force u to have children i have alternative plans for this reason
historia: what do u think about me having a child to save myself
eren: that's fine by me bestie let me arrange it w this guy in the stables real quick
ppl studying anatomy and how long it takes for a beheaded person to lose consciousness all to prove the em kiss was reciprocal is so fucking funny to me
seriously some of yall sound like: i love 139 which means i understand the story best. if you dislike 139 you are toxic and dumb. now let me shit all over people being happy with a clearly fanon ending and spoil their fun bc that's not toxic at all
ppl who didn't like the ending: [well-thought out criticism about how certain themes didn't pay off and some last min stuff was incomprehensible]
ending defenders: u just wanted a fairytale ending. u just felt sad and this is why u hate it. u didn't understand a single thing
aot could have ended with the alliance winning and eren dying bitterly bc he lost all and it would still be better than 139 bc everyone would be staying true to their characters
the ending has really mixed messages. on one hand it shows that the rumbling was not the answer and it has an anti war message. on the other hand it implies that if eren did the full rumbling paradis wouldn't have been destroyed lol
