Yeah ruining the mystery behind the monsters is nothing new. They did it with Prometheus and Alien Covenant in the Alien mythology. Lucas went insane with midichlorians and child Darth Vader in the prequels killing a huge amount of the mystique of Star Wars. The Thing had a prequel that not only disrespected the writing and plot of the first film but laid waste to the artistic legacy of the original with the CGI mess instead of practical monsters. Even the Hannibal Lecter films got a prequel that complete changed the characterization of the villain and tarnished his imagery.

But at the same time in Game of Thrones they built up the Others to be this huge mystery with ice demons, giant spiders, rituals involving babies, symbols and satanic shapes of severed body parts in the snow. And it all was left mostly unexplained to the huge disappointment of the viewership. All that hype and build up and it amounted to nothing. No huge battle just a small pitch black skirmish that ended in a few hours. No explanations for the spiral shapes that the Others kept leaving. What was up with them and Craster turning children into Others? Long night? Lord of Light versus the Great Other?

I at least give Attack on Titan credit for going for an explanation to its mystery boxes. Yes the explanations were all awful for the most part. But I am not sure that leaving out things like 'where the titans came from?' or 'what is beyond the island that they are on?' being left unexplained would have been satisfactory at all. Like if the end of the story is them wiping out all of the giants, crumbling the walls and killing the wall titans, then Eren killing himself as the last titan....would people actually like that at all? If there was nothing more than just that?

I think this thread would say that “at least the series wouldn’t go to a point where it’s pants on head stupid”. But, one thing users here learn quickly, is that the Farms is a VERY small part of the wider Internet.

Yeah, for what it's worth, it at least didn't pull a SAO, and not give an answer as to why all this shit happened in the first place. Mind you, I think not actually explaining things would've been better given the answers we got, but still.

I think AoT is a prime example of how some mysteries should just never being solved. I think the ending you propose would've been much, much better.

All the titans are gone for none, but the possibility of them coming back is still up in the air because it was never figured out where they actually came from. That's a nice, bittersweet ending befitting a series like AoT.

In some amount of fairness to the Thing prequel, they did originally have practicals. It’s just the studio execs allegedly came in and told them to do it all in CGI late in production, because it “looked dated”.

Probably the amount of shit they have to animate like there are so many models they'd have to make.

There is a reason that no other anime studio wanted to do Attack on Titan

That, and that the Japanese are still sore about getting nuked. So, this is pretty much the quiet part out loud.
