What in the fuck was that animation of her chewing and swallowing, it reminded me of the editing on an abridged series edit of AOT rather than the actual thing lolThe Annie Pie Scene got animated, and MAPPA somehow found a way to make it better/worse.

I really miss the days when Attack on Titan didn't get reduced to the "genocide good" story where autistic fanboys project their sense of patriotism onto fictional characters. Fuck Isayama for making possibly one of the worst timeskips ever conceived.
I still think the timeskip could have been at least okay. The focus just went onto the wrong things and made the wrong steps.
Yeah like a timeskip could work, the issue is that it had a lot of rushed development and the only thing Isayama seemed dedicated to doing was the Rumbling and making an MCU type of climax (given he was inspired by Guardians of the Galaxy in where his story would go). He wasn't really committed to anything else which is prevalent in how he can't decide between making Eren a soft-spoken psycho who understands his enemies, some angry edgelord screaming about "FREEDOM", or a sympathetic martyr.
The problem is that it only sort of makes sense. It isn't outside the realm of his character, but it is completely outside the realm of his actions, the context for the story. Eren is not a subtle person, and if his end goal was total annihilation, I don't think he would have hidden it. It would have also made for interesting conflict inside of the story, but since its revealed so late and pretty much out of left field, it comes off as lazy and stupid.
People literally worship Eren only because they project their own sense of patriotism onto him and think he's some hero fighting against a world that wants to exterminate his country (ignoring the fact Eren actively provoked it) and combined with edgelords who think murder and genocide are super cool and mature. Like they seriously talk about the characters as though they were real people who actually betrayed their own (as in the reader's) country.
See, I don't even think Eren would've had to have hidden it if he just randomly snapped one day, and just did it on the spur of the moment.
Letting a character be defined by their actions and then their exposited feelings and goals is something a lot of writers and nearly every single fanbase forgets. In many ways what they say about themselves is just a measuring stick against which their actions are judged. Sometimes they did something because of provocation and it isn’t what they’d normally do, sometimes they lose sight of their real interests.
You know, that's a good point. There's been a lot of discussion about how Eren's plan being genocide isn't necessarily a bad idea from a writing perspective, but that comes with the assumption that it was explicitly planned and built up towards. That doesn't take into account the idea that it might've literally been the only thing Iseyama could think of after writing himself into a corner.
Like the ending is trash but people who spend every waking hour hating are just pathetic and haven't moved on. Like these niggas are desperate for anime only fans to hate the same shit as they do, that they have actually tried to pretend to be anime only's as a way to get everyone to hate the same shit. Like there are people that definitely do, but they should be allowed to make those conclusions on their own.You know, I have a confession to make.
I actually want the anime-onlies to like this ending.
I know I've spent the majority of this thread saying how they were all going to hate it, and shit, but over the past year, I've noticed something.
Most of the people who hate this ending have gone completely insane and have made AoT and hating it their entire lives. They can't accept that their favorite comic had a bad ending and move on. They are effectively stuck in their fucking hatred, stupidity, delusions, and wounded pride, and just cannot get over it.
Funnily enough, they have done the opposite of what their Chad husbando said and have not kept moving forward.
But you know who I don't see exhibiting this behavior? People who liked the ending.
Sure, there's probably some of them out there who've made it their life's goal to defend the ending at all costs, but for the most part, they're a lot less angry, and saner about things, and have moved on.
I want more people like that instead of faggots telling me that genocide is a good thing, and that Eren feeling bad is more than a punishment for doing it, and that if I don't think that I'm spoiled, and ableist, and a bad person.
The ending's not actually good, but I'd rather deal with the people who say it is than people screeching about how moms bring life, and dads bring death and destruction, how Mikasa is a worthless, retarded, spineless bitch who only lives to serve Eren and how Historia is not that despite them constantly turning her into that exact same thing, how racism, and genocide is a good thing, and perfectly justifiable, and that a miscolored scarf, and three random birds is total proof of an AOE.
I would honestly rather deal with chill people who just like the ending and have moved on rather than the frothing mad autists who haven't, probably never will, and unironically believe in all of that terrible shit listed above.
Also, watching ending haters chimp out about anime-onlies liking shit is just really, really funny. I mean, look at this shit.

It must be hard being perpetually miserable.
And now the doujin circles go nuts.
Don't forget all the Eren/Levi and Erwin/Levi works.
FY for reminding me, had been trying to forget about those.
What is it about all the popular yaoi ships being of characters who hate each other or people who have no reason to be together in the slightest?FY for reminding me, had been trying to forget about those.
