when aot was just abt to end, there were leaks ofc as there always are lol abt eren not really achieving any of his plans. and so much of the aot fandom, who have never lived through war, were genuinely upset over this. eren literally commits global genocide, he and his plan doesn’t deserve to achieve anything. especially not anything that would benefit him.
eren wasn’t one of my favorites until season 4 because of how utterly fucked up he is. he was a tragic MC who started off as a hero and as the story progressed, became a monster. even though we know what leads to his corruption, genocide is still wrong actually and having a characters worst fear come to life due to their own actions is the sort of tragic irony isayama loves. we’ve already seen isayama do this with reiner, zeke and grisha. it’s satisfying yet devastating at the same time how harsh the story is on them.
and the story should’ve been a lot more harsher to eren instead of the positive reaffirmation he got in 139 and from most of the fandom. eren claims the rumbling was for paradis, like thst shit didn’t kill off most of paradis’ population, and than he claims that it was for his friends (like pieck, who he has never even had a conversation with) but than he admits it was for himself - and it wasn’t satisfying at all because isayama wanted us to feel bad for eren and it worked. never mind the fact that eren killed his own mom, that he manipulated his own father for taking the FT for his own gain, that he annihilated 80% of the world - he did it for his friends 😊 so it’s okay! friendship >>>> genocide 😝
aot taking a very strong stance against eren’s actions and plan, denouncing them as wrong (bc they are) and showing them that nothing good comes out of them is wayyyyyy better the woobification and the mini redemption arc we got from him in the last chapter.
this is why i hate it when aot fans talk abt aot like it’s the greatest anti-war anime ever made. i think majority of aot fans are westerners or come from developed countries. it’s easier to understand war when ur watching cartoons of it instead of actually living through it. a huge part of the fandom justifies eren’s genocide, even with characters explicitly condemning him. do you really think it’s clear with its anti-war message when all we got was a few sad faces and a huge thank you from the main cast? one of the main themes in aot is the moral grayness of the world. the warriors did what they did because they were child soldiers trying to protect their families, EMA would’ve done the same. the scouts raided liberio (and were heavily against it). and masses of innocent people died in the name of other groups interests. there were literally no winners in this at all.
but why have characters that should’ve narratively and thematically been against eren suddenly forgive and praise him?
why break all the characterization, break all those different point of views, for the warriors specifically, if not for the final woobification of eren?
eren could’ve had one of the most extraordinary corruption arcs in all of anime just for that to be ruined and i will forever be mad abt it
What did that Attack on Titan ending turn into?? The Mikasa panels have been discussed a lot, so let's take a loot at a couple of other things that caught out eye from the leaks!
There are hints to the tree under which Eren is buried being the same tree through which Ymir fell through. Did the time loop get confirmed out of nowhere? This could be wrong info though you know...
And King Fritz surprisingly ended up dead with Ymir continuing to live? Are we being retconned? If you are able to understand these leaks, comment your thoughts and let us know!!
Edited images or real spoilers?? what do you think.....
I have a little theories for the news leaks- i was hoping too they where fake still are to be honest.
But i was talking about it with a friend and only one thing made sens to me, what if it was what could happens if timeline 138 existed ? But like- not as the ending but alternative ? 🤔 Because i have an hard time to believe Isayama change the ending (also since he was happy with it) and the quality picture really look like it was sort of flashback thing- i don't know maybe i'm wrong but it's the only thing that would sound logical with the ending and the leaks-
I don't know if it's make sens but i wanted to share it with someone ;_;
oooh yes the theory of an alternative ending makes sense but he did say in an interview there wouldn’t be major changes that’s the only reason i was confused 🤔 what you said could be right tho !!!

Since its anime debut in 2013, “Attack on Titan” has been a phenomenon on its own as well as in pop culture. Despite the fact that there was a break of about four years between its first season and the short. Its popularity never waned, given the lack of a second season to air in 2017.
For those who somehow haven’t heard at…
I used to think that Daenerys' character assassination was the worst thing ever, but after seeing this I almost want to say D&D you dropped this 👑 kings, you really weren't that bad lmfaooo
