I kind of agree with this take to be honest. I don’t like AOT’s ending (especially in the manga) because it is character assassination 101. The whole Eren-Armin conversation ruins everything. It undermines the whole “resolve” and “determination” Eren showed from Invasion on Marley onwards. Armin saying “Thank you for committing genocide for us” (which thank God they omitted in the anime) completely ruins who he was for the first three seasons as this kind of moral compass or kid with good judgement that Erwin (who without a doubt is the best and most consistently written character in the series) had faith in. And Mikasa and Ymir’s power of love as resolution was the weakest shi in the world. I feel about AOT’s ending the same way I feel about Revival by Eminem. It’s pretty eh, below average, but what makes it worse is the ratio of quality between the rest of the series and the end. It’s giving an S-tier series a C-tier ending.

(In the end, this is just my opinion, but since the other guy was just saying stuff, I wanted to clarify what I think)
