yeah i think the signs were there for a long time, the first red flag for me was zeke getting saved "because paths", but at least it was kinda working when we thought the "predetermined" result was actually just what eren wanted. but with 139's reveal that it was all according to loli plot device's desire, where eren himself turns out to have been a plot device with no agency all along and thus be absolved of moral consequence for committing mass genocide, it blows up all those questionable storytelling choices. what i thought were interesting themes of cyclical violence forcing characters to make morally ambiguous choices as a reflection of real world atrocities that were blatantly ripped from, turned out to be nothing but a backdrop to tired themes of "love transcends all" and "enslaved to fate"

there is some debate as to whether eren actually had agency or not too i think, i choose to believe that he didnt, otherwise his choices go from tragic to just idiotic real quick

He gonna say "haha f\*\*\* you losers Mikasa x Eren forever" in the letter

LETS GOOOO, new pages so the chapter can be fixed

Ending was so mid i would honestly take a dogshit ending over this. Rather get something absolutely garbage and memorable instead of this mediocre ass ending

i hate that ive become such a doomer but to me with the core themes and plot points that 139 has now, aint no amount of pages that can save this ending on a fundamental level, the whole thing would need to be reimagined from the ground up, and possibly chapters going back to 131 as well

but as far as memorability goes though, "thank you for becoming a mass murderer for our sake" will always be funny as f\*\*\* LMAO

wow this is interesting

can't say i'm personally expecting too much, besides maybe a letter to the fans or something. though what do i know

It for sure won’t be saved but i think most definitely we can get a more satisfying ending

nah i think that last chapter did too much damage, theres no recovery

45 EXTRA PAGES HOPERS RISE UP

when does this drop?

What if it’s a pump fake and the real chapter is about to drop

Copium

Felt he was always very open in his feelings. He wasnt an introverted shy person or so. Would expect s*** like that from Armin but not from Eren

True he didnt seem too good in it. The Niccolo Sasha one for example, although i feel that was better written already

Would’ve preferred to see Mikasa get with Jean & have a baby boy that they named Eren. Would’ve been lovely. She deserves to be happy

This

Cant see Jean call him Eren for some reason lmao

Let me cope

Chapter starts with eren and armin talking like usual

But eren tells armin he’s gotta go through with this, kills everyone except for the alliance, eren stops the rumbling once he’s wiped out everyone, we get an explanation for why the titans exist and what the hallucigenia really is. Eren explains why he had to commit genocide

Eren daps up all his homies and goes away to live in exile

Ayo spoiler that s*** bruh^ @Nero fwwy bro??

I thoughh this was manga thread

I feel like it was intentional of the author to make both ymir and eren back to „normal“ people who would rather just marry and live with their friends. Fans were hyping up Eren‘s motivation but tbh he was never all that smart throughout the whole series. The only thing that hits me the wrong way is how it can be interpreted that he is saying you can commit mass murder if it is to protect your friends lol.

If someone wants to remove you from earth what would you do? Just let them? Genocide is bac but eren was fighting against genocide by commiting genocide
