I just read it and, I need to rant . I defended this manga to my friends and coworkers and now I have to tell them in the end they were right. Like it just bugs me so much that they tried to end this manga on some weird ass theme of love. I feel like I'm missing something aot has never been about love. I thought it was more about freedom than love.

Eren has not only killed billions of people but he's trampled on all the forests and all the land. How the fuck are they preparing for war if there's barely any food and barely any people. Eren killed everyone, most of the world is probably trying to just get back on it's feet.Theres no infrastructure left. The eldians are probably the only people in the world who went largely unaffected who would be strong enough to fight a war with them I really do not understand.

The author did a shitty version of the code geass ending. And an even shittier version of the watchmen ending. When Ozymandias killed people to start world peace it was known that he was the villain. He wasn't noble he was a monster. And when he asked dr.manhatten if it would work blue man tells him "lol maybe dude Idk." That shit was poignant it worked cause it showed that for all of the scheming Ozymandias went through his plan was still stupid as hell and would probably not lead to world peace. In AOT they try to make it look like this was the only way forward for eren. Fuck that.

The worst part about all this is all the eldians acting like eren was a hero and led a noble sacrifice. Like what the fuck are you talking about! You already knew what his plan was why did you try to stop him if you just agreed with his point all along. Stupid motherfuckers on reddit are talking about how much they sympathize with eren, and I've never hated reddit more. They'll say "well I understand he did it for the people he loves I'd do the same." What!! You would kill billions of people without even trying anything else first for the people you love? You guys were right reddit is filled with fascist cause I have no idea how you could possibly see eren in any positive light. He fucked up earth more than thanos did! If you think about it he's worse than most manga villains. Hell even griffith didn't kill 80 fucking % of the population.

Eren doesn't get to be redeemed cause he has sad boy feelings about killing billions of people. Didn't he have the ability to affect events in the past? You stupid asshole do something then!! Why do you feel trapped when you could do literally anything else and it would be better than this. What's funny is I don't even hate this ending because eren killed everyone. I hate how the author tried to make it seem as if eren was somehow a tragic hero for doing what he did. Same reason I hate tokyo ghouls ending. Authors just let your monsters be monsters, you don't need to make them sympathetic. The whole reason for showing them grow up throughout the series is to show their path towards darkness. It feels like such a cop out to show how much of an enemy of the world eren is then back pedal and try to make him the tragic hero. And don't even get me started on ymir. The author really tried to say her love for the king is what kept her in bondage for so long. Shit makes me throw up.

You all were right Aot was fascist as hell, and I don't feel like I've wasted my time, but I definitely feel like I should listen when smart leftists state their feelings on stuff. If anyone has any recs of GOOD manga let me know.
