- Judge Holden watches another giant autistic franchise die screaming -
Gawd did I make the right choice never fucking giving this shit a chance back like 10 years ago when it started getting hype.

It was a joke. And then we got this chapter where Eren flops around in the water crying about how he doesn't want Mikasa to fuck anyone else and how she's the key to everything, which made it real. The hero of our story was an incel too autistic to make a move on a girl who spent 99% of her time salivating over him. It's dumb, but that's what Isayama wrote.If you've been reading anything I've posted since last night, you'd have realized that I haven't been shy in criticizing what I didn't like or couldn't make sense of in the ending. I also understand that what does make sense, makes sense, and I understand that even making sense doesn't automatically render something "well done", which is part of why I've been hesitant in saying whether I liked the ending (though repeat reads bring on more melancholy for some reason). Conversely, I can still like something that doesn't make sense (I'm very fond of A:TLA even though logic re: dealing with the Fire Lord breaks down at around the Day of Black Sun onward).
"Eren committed genocide because of virgin rage" is a stupid-but-funny joke. As an honest-to-God argument, it makes as much sense as "WHOOOOA EVANGELION IS SO TRIPPY AND DOESN'T MAKE SENSE" posed as an actual argument. In order to come to that conclusion you have to have actually given up any pretense of actual criticism to begin with.
Was dying also part of his master plan, Mr. Abominacion?
I don't think you can have sex after you've decided to die.
Lelouch Gambit that failed, and there is going to be more war. One more thing Eren failed even with foresight.guy explains in painstaking detail that he's making a Lelouch Gambit
And the part where he immediately gets a hold of himself after being told that he looked like a dork, or the part immediately after that where he talked about how he wanted her to be happy, or the part before that outburst when he was being tsundere?And then we got this chapter where Eren flops around in the water crying about how he doesn't want Mikasa to fuck anyone else and how she's the key to everything, which made it real.
Clearly it didn't fail if they're now peace ambassadors and still alive.Lelouch Gambit that failed

That was meant to be a quotation (paraphrased, it seems) from Eren well before this point. Thus the "maybe he was right" and also "he entrusted us with the future of this world".I like how the part where "This fight won't end until the Eldians or the Rest of the world is wiped out" implies peace.
And you are going to ignore the great buildup of Yaegerist army? The whole point is that this shit did nothing to break the cycle of revenge/hate. Just look at the fervor of the Eldians in those scenes. If you are naive and believe in the peace negotiations, then go ahead. Maybe Armin can pull a Zeke baseball leaf out of his ass again in a totally realistic fashion.That was meant to be a quotation (paraphrased, it seems) from Eren well before this point.

I mean, Eren outright said earlier in the chapter that they wouldn't be able to mount an attack against Paradis because he already killed nearly all of them.
The underlying implication of the narrative was that there is no such solution to the cycle of revenge/hate beyond continuing to work at it (see Sasha's father talking about forests and devils inside and stuff). Eren could have mowed down the entire world and there could have still been intranational conflict. Zeke could have turned them into Ken dolls and they would have slowly died out in a collapsing society.And you are going to ignore the great buildup of Yaegerist army?

How does that page, or indeed that line of dialogue, show them “continuing to work at [peace]”? It literally says “this problem will never be solved until either they’re dead, or we are”, with the Eldians all hyped up to fight. There’s literally no way to read that to mean that everyone’s learned to be nicer to each other now and are going to make good-faith efforts at negotiating a peace deal.The underlying implication of the narrative was that there is no such solution to the cycle of revenge/hate beyond continuing to work at it (see Sasha's father talking about forests and devils inside and stuff).

You're reading the page wrong, is what's happening. Or, it would be better understood if they put quotations around that line, because Armin is referring to something that Eren once said. Otherwise, what else is Armin referring to when he refers to what Eren said?How does that page, or indeed that line of dialogue, show them “continuing to work at [peace]”?

I didn't say the world was anywhere near that point. I said that that's what the gang decided to work towards.There’s literally no way to read that to mean that everyone’s learned to be nicer to each other now and are going to make good-faith efforts at negotiating a peace deal.
If Eren was already a mother killing Hitler piece of shit who was willing to kill 80% of humanity for selfish reason might as well at least kill the non Eldians to stop racism, at least there wouldn't be the genocidal hateboner against his people anymore. Literally any option would've made more sense.The underlying implication of the narrative was that there is no such solution to the cycle of revenge/hate beyond continuing to work at it (see Sasha's father talking about forests and devils inside and stuff).
