What do you think of Aot ending?

man... it was.... whatever. I wasn't having a full meltdown like r/titanfolk was having at the time, but I also wasn't pleased with it either. I'll admit that after the Rumbling was activated, I kinda stopped giving a damn about the cast. Armin, Mikasa, Connie, Jean, Levi, Hange, Annie, Reiner, Gabby, Falco, etc. etc. can't even remember who was there anymore, I just stopped caring about them. not because I was angry or something, but because by that point, my only concern and point of sympathy was Eren and Eren only. Cause he's my son. and I'm not joking. so anyways after the Rumbling Eren — as the main character in the narrative the reader is privy to — essentially disappeared (although it was already happening during the Marley arc but I digress) so I kinda stopped caring about the story as a whole. I did not agree with the philosophy and ideology of the Alliance who all kinda turned into the main protags in that final arc which is why I didn't care about following their journey to get to Eren outside of Eren himself but I'm not going to get into that currently cuz that's a whole can of worms my ass will never open, just FYI. anyways what I'm trying to say is that when we were nearing the end of the manga, the one and only character I actually cared for was Eren and Eren only. so I didn't give damn about Eremika nor did I like it, but it didn't come out of left field either. I was just hoping it'd stay ambiguous like it had always stayed. I liked the Ymir backstory, minus the execution of her soul-freeing epiphany. because the Eremika relationship is in no way or form comparable to what she and King Fritz had and her getting closure because of them is a bit.......... I mean I get what Isayama was going for.. the execution was just awful. but whatever. like I said, at this point I only cared about Eren. And I always knew Eren was going to die. there was not a single possibility in any universe that Eren was not going to die. so I always knew that something like this was going to happen. I just didn't expect it to happen like this .. kinda pathetically. I'm not calling Eren pathetic, just that Isayama's attempt at finishing his character arc was kinda pathetic in a writing sense. My main issue with this fandom was always that no one ever really understood Eren. "He's a crying bitch baby" like dawg he was 10 years old. his mind was broken by Shiganshina. then it continued to break more and more because fate had chosen him to be its infernal victim. and I loved it, I loved him and I knew it was always gonna end this way for him. too bad Isayama kinda fumbled the bag by being too wishy-washy and that by the time we got to the end I just didn't really care anymore to be mad at anything. ch. 139 was just whatever to me. it still is. I can say with my whole heart that SNK is a masterpiece and Eren is one of the best MCs of all time, just that the final stretch of chapters was mehh. it wasn't bad (unlike the age old example of Bleach whose final stretch of chapters ruined the entirety of the manga and I'm not even exaggerating), but it wasn't peak either. it was just, a logical yet meager ending that made sense within the framework the story had always been operating in AKA the ending made sense for the type of story Isayama was trying to tell. Eren's character assassination and the poorness of ch. 139 are greatly overblown by the fandom, but it is true that the ending was quite mehh. that's really all I can say about 139. mehh. whatever. made sense but I wish Eren hadn't been sidelined like this in favor of the Alliance's weak ass convictions. but that also made sense cuz of course Isayama wasn't arguing in favor of omnicide lmfao. so TLDR I thought it was mehh but I wasn't too mad about it because I always knew it was going to end this way. Eren is still my GOAT though bc I agree with his omnicide <3
