Hot Take:The rule stating that Ackermans can't be shifters is fucking stupid because we all know that Kenny would've been the best choice to inherit the Beast Titan.
He's the only Ackerman that's not a complete retard, would've created an absolutely fucking army of master race royal/Ackerman children, and wouldn't even care if he died in the end because he got to be a king.
I don't care if the series implied he would've gone mad with power if this had happened. He could not have possibly done a worse job than Eren, and Zeke did.

Yeah like the whole backstory with Uri was actually one of the most thematic scenes in the entire series that pretty much had everything resolved peacefully which gave Kenny a better place in the world.
It also doesn't help the majority of Attack on Titan's characters are driven by their beliefs first or are child soldiers. It also doesn't help all the other smart characters pretty much get screwed over by the stupider ones (pretty much everyone with Eren, most notably his father At some point I won't be surprised if it was also revealed Eren encouraged his dad and sister to see the blimp which led to her being mauled by dogs.)
And that there are barely any adult influences on them aside from a handful of characters. The average age of people inside of the Walls is very low at least as far as the main cast is concerned. But literally all shonen manga or anime are like that. Naruto is filled with child soldiers with some of the most seasoned ninjas only being the age of an older sibling. And you can predict that the older characters will die before the young ones. Like Jiraiya before Naruto, Itachi before Sasuke, and so on. Death Note has the main FBI investigator be a teenager, the next big investigator also be a child, and the killer godlike protagonist also a teenager. Gundam Wing has teenage ace pilots instead of seasoned and hardened monsters. Fullmetal Alchemist is about two young kids as if no one of adult age would try to raise the dead.
For every Monster or Cowboy Bebop, with sophisticated and developed adult characters, you just have a myriad of battle filled or epic stories dominated by young children. Even Western stories do this with Harry Potter, Hunger Games, Game of Thrones, and whatnot. Star Wars prequels had a child version of Darth Vader that was horrendous. The author of Gundam 0080 mocked this by having the main character literally be a 10-year-old running around in a war zone and being completely useless and oblivious to the violence and then ending up deeply traumatized.
They are child soldiers in Attack on Titan but most of the time they speak and behave like adults. Only when the plot demands it do they revert to an immature form.
Yeah Light and Eren are very similar. Extreme powers. World changing even. And everything collapses due to their egos and stupidity at the end. And both AOT and Death Note looked like they were headed towards the 'evil character wins' story. But then the stories imploded in the second halves.
Now that you mentioned, both series suffered a lot when they tried to expand the series into something bigger. Light with him trying to expand his schemes beyond Japan, and Eren with....you know what. Boths used to be EXTREMELY POPULAR at the heights, but now have been largely forgotton. I mean, I don't even think Zoomers these days know what Death Note is, even if it's just the "keikaku" meme

Not really, Death Note is still talked about to some degree and is still very well liked. Hell it's literally one of the go to anime people would recommend to new people who want to get into anime.
Though it doesn't help it still has content released like that one-shot, bad Netflix projects, actually good Japanese live action films and a musical.
Oh defs Zeke wouldn't actually go along with it. Anti-natalist little cuck with daddy issues that he is. But it just seems so weird that the plan he has the Fauxasians present to the Paradisians has "Historia must have as many kids as possible in the 13 years of life she will have left." When a monthlong Zeke orgy could get the job done much better, and result in triple the amount of offspring. And no one realizes this or points it out.
It's like these people don't even realize they're in an anime.

Respectfully disagree. AOT has plenty of adult characters, way more than say Demon Slayer where even the Hashira and the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps are all inexplicably under 25.
And the adult characters aren't just mentors. You've got Levi and Hange and Erwin and Pixis and Shadis and Magath and Nile and Kenny and more, Zeke at 24 and then 29 is definitely an adult.. And you get tons of scenes that are just conversations between adults about things that aren't the younger characters.
It's like a shonen Bechdel test. Do two adult characters have a conversation about something that isn't the kids.
Pointing out that the average age behind the Walls is low is interesting and true though. Since they let all the Maria orphans in and let them stay, but basically killed their parents.
To be fair, there is set-up for it, and we do see his body so it's not as bad as what happened with her. I'm only noting it because a part of me can't help but think the reason they did it was their rampant hatred of Mikasa.
I know that seems like a stretch to say, but let's be honest here. Do you really put it past these people to not do that? Because given how obsessed, and vicious they are about her, I don't.

The cherry on top of all this madness is that the author of this shitty fanfic is also delusional enough to think it has a chance of getting recognized by the AoT producers at all in any way.

I hate how this entire story is trying to add stakes despite the fact it heavily advertises itself as the “EREN WILL WIN” story, like why should I give a shit about any of the characters if I know they’re going to die while Eren feels vaguely sad about them later.
Also Zeke may have not had an amazing sendoff in the final chapters, but holy fuck he is better there compared to here where he just acts like some generic doomer saying how Eren will win and it’s pointless to fight back, and given the inevitable conclusion it makes it worse.
I will give some credit that the art is of high quality but they really are still sticking to the worst parts of the original manga’s final arc especially with the stupidity of Eren’s OP Titan abilities.
Also the art is still pretty stupid at times like this panel looks so retarded

To be fair to them, IIRC a vast majority of them love Jean and think he's one of the best written characters in the series. I'm no longer in the discord, but I see their posts from time to time on twitter, and a surprising bunch are Mikasa stans and Levi stans.
The big haters of everything alliance, especially Mikasa, or at least what I've seen, was that Operation Ursurper cringe who thought they could get on the fansite that hosts the AOT manga, also this weird shill who kept promoing their long ass AOT: Love and Freedom which traced real humans and looked uncanny as fuck with an author who's ego was massive.
This chapter was a lot better than the second chapter though, the action scenes were really well done, and the dialogue felt less clunky. I liked Zeke's mocking call back to Ride To Shiganshina, Keeping Zeke smug even though he's dooming is pretty good rather than the switch up to him suddenly being optimistic. 137 always bugged me how a stubborn man like Zeke changed just because "o the little things are life in precious"
Neither way is particularly amazing, but maybe they'll bring Zeke back again because even if I think him being more set in his ways is more agreeable, sending him off like this is just as weak as his other conclusion. If not weaker because Levi doesn't have his character moment.
But then again, I think Isayama wrote himself into a stonewall when it came to Zeke, having a character so convicted of his own actions who is willing to betray everyone to get what he wants, how on Earth do you change a character like that?
It's a problem with a few of the AOT Characters to be fair, it's just a bit more prevalent in Zeke because he's a main character.
Maybe it'll be better when the fourth chapter comes out in three years, maybe not. Maybe it'll be worse.
Still more solid than the second chapter though, and the memes that have come out of it are pretty better than the last batch.
In Japan, maybe. The artist drawing Dragon Ball Super used to make Dragon Ball Doujinshi (self-publishing, doesn't necessarily mean hentai) manga before being picked up to work on Super. The duo for the Ultraman manga used to made very popular Kamen Rider Doujinshi series before Toei sent their ninja on them, but Tsuburaya like their works enough for them to work on the same thing with the Ultraman IP
Other authors were also known to work on the Doujinshi scene before going pro, it's like a place for them to learn and test their skill, and also attracting the attention of the publishers. Of course, that's just one of the method going pro in the industry
That said, I don't think there's any way something like AnR being recognized by the producers. It's not even a pipe dream, it's so improbable it's almost impossible

And for lack of a better word, stupidly creative-at least in regard to what happens to Eren.
Aside from having good art, AnR is boring, predictable because they've already given away what's going to happen, and to be frank, an edgy shipping wankfest that doesn't actually solve any of the ending's actual problems.
If I had to pick one, I'm going to choose the ending where Eren turns out to be a crying incel who turns into a tree on the simple fact that it's just more entertaining than the alternate one where he just fucks off to go live his spawn, and tradwife on some farm.

Yeah not to mention the original ending could be salvaged more with a few changes that wouldn't ultimately fix everything since there was a lot of retarded shit that'd require the "Final Season" era to be re-written entirely. That said, some aspects of the original ending and extra pages were actually pretty good even if it wasn't the best executed.
AnR however is overly pretentious and run by people who think that heroes losing equates to a more mature ending. Eren winning could work if he doesn't get any reward but the fact there is a romance here and Eren will be treated like some patriotic hero because of dumbass MCU logic that justifies his actions (since reminder they literally ripped off that one Doctor Strange scene from Infinity War).
This is a bit of sperging but since AOT fans like to attack other manga to prop up AOT, one of which is Jojo, which while it is silly at times has done a better job at doing many endings that involve the main character's death and better at doing a bittersweet ending that AnR is trying to go for.
Honestly AnR Eren is even dumber in the own story's logic since he prattles on about freedom yet just takes away everyone else's to get to this point, he could've just deadass taken away everyone else's titan powers if Eren was serious about winning. This also applies to the original manga before it was outright confirmed that the founding titan can literally do anything.
