I bet any editor who pulled Isayama away from 'The Mist' ending is putting a gun in his mouth right about now. Because holy shit.
Well...
...that happened.
I can't even say whether I thought that was "good" or "bad"-- frankly, my impressions are not dissimilar to one's state of mind after getting bashed in the head with a 2x4.
she is adopted and also I hate that I actually like that last panel-- it's not "metal", and it's not "weird", and it's not "titillating", and it's not even "just desserts". It's like... I wanted that... and I got it in the worst way possible-- and I think that was the point. I wouldn't even say it's like Anno using the narrative as a means to criticize his own audience-- I really think the writing staff decided to fuck with their readers for shits and giggles, and that's wild because this would actually be really sad.
It's... morbidly fascinating, honestly. The more my mind clears, the more I think this chapter was meant as a tragicomedy.
Eren goes "THIS ISN'T EVEN MY FINAL FORM", the hallucigenia randomly decides to Ragako everyone at the fort despite the fact that they blew up the Founder, Falco doesn't get to save Gabi like he was trying to do this entire time, Annie barely gets to reunite with her father and the rest of the Scouts save for the shifters and Ackermans all get Titanized because the hallucegenia decided to be a dick. For all the people who decided to tough it out to see the conclusion of the most presumed ship... you get what you want... in a dream... with a broken Eren-- oh, and you get Mikasa kissing Eren's decapitated head while Ymir Fritz watches in real life.
I should be responding to those comments of yours from weeks ago that I missed but I--I--I don't even know what to say at this point.
You should say....Secret Asshole, you were right. This is trash. But its beautiful trash.
I mean, you can't go back weeks ago. You just fucking can't, not from this. This is the defining moment. And, I'm just fucking in love with it. I love it so much. It perfectly and utterly encapsulates the entire fucking manga in a chapter. And I'm just reveling in it. I don't give a shit she's adopted. I do not care. Its like saying people jerking off to the step-sister porn are really thinking its their step-sister. They're not fucking thinking that and if they could get away with pretend incest, they would. It is so, so beautiful.
Isayma gave me exactly, EXACTLY what I wanted for the finale. Another, OH! ITS A BASEBALL. Except there's no Jojo reference. There's no ANYTHING reference. There's no way I can hate the man after this. This is what I wanted and he gave it to me. I'd be a hypocrite.
Oh, Isayama is not fucking with you. He's too autistic for that. He's not fucking with anyone. He's 100% serious about this. This isn't a 'metaphor' or 'hating on his fanbase' (since he's immensely popular), this is just him. Nakedly, just writing whatever pops into his beautiful, retarded Jap skull. Anno? Yes, Anno was depressed, hated his audience and that's why Eva is what it is. Fine. But this is not that.
You know what the funny thing is? We both got what we wanted. Except I really got what I wanted. You got 'Be careful what you wish for'.
Well those groups are melting down while it seems others in the fandom enjoy this chapter (legit while people ITT laugh at that kiss, there are massive amounts of normalfags calling it genius or touching...I’m not kidding)
Dude, it is genius. It is the genius of an autistic retard who keeps his toenails in a jar. No one on fucking planet Earth would have predicted Reiner going "NOT ON MY WATCH" to a fucking pre-historic sea creature and wrestling it, while Mikasa kills her brother and makes out with the head of his decapitated corpse while God watches angrily from the shadows.
It is genius, for all the wrong fucking reasons. Like every reason imaginable. I can't hate him, because the destruction of this story is so fucking immaculate, the destruction of ANY potential it had...fucking destroyed from orbit. Eliminated.
And I am in total awe of how much of a fucking retard Isayama is. And what can I say? I just love it. I can't believe he did it. I thought it would be a boring Thanos speech and then an epilogue. But he gave me neither derivative (Because what in the fuck is this being derived from) or boring.
He gave me pure retarded autisim. And I am basking in it right now.
I was really feeling down in the dumps, but holy shit this cheered me right up because its fucking. hilarious.
