Hahah, "We would like the audience to accept that mass genocide and murdering all of your friends as the ending." Are you fucking joking? Nobody is going to accept that shit and it will be remembered as terrible. The mass genocide shit was fucktarded enough, but him killing everyone he knows and loves for the sake of wanton murder is even fucking dumber. Holy shit this series is trash. The ending is literally the equivalent of 'rocks fall, everyone dies'. Its bad enough Eren is a retard who has the powers of space and time, with a God at his beck and call and can't figure out anything more complex than 'murder everyone'. But for him to kill the entire cast for his idiotic 'murder' plan is so stupid its hilarious.
You have to accept the mass genocide plan first as being the only legitimate way to solve the problem (which I don't, I think Isayama is a shit writer) to accept this ending, which a lot of other people like myself, do not. Then to just murder the entire cast? I mean, its dumbfounding in its stupidity. I mean, to be fair, its not like any of the characters have had decent development in years or are actually still characters who aren't just hollow shells of their former selves, so its basically the equivalent of squashing cardboard cut-outs.
I mean, I laughed when Eren's secret plan for YEARS just turned out to be 'Kill Everyone'. This is even more hysterical. They go to try and stop him with the power of friendship and Eren's like 'naw dawg' and just fucking merks all of them.
Or they're like "To stop you, you'll have to go through us!" And he's like, "lol, ok" and just kills them. Its just hysterical to think about. Also, if you're going to go with this ending, you have to make him truly unrepentant. He should be completely insane at this point and the concept of 'friends' doesn't even apply. He's happy to kill them all and then go live out eternity in PATHS as the master of time and space forever. An insane, mad God that the entire world fears, effectively becoming the Devil himself.
