what would've been your ideal ending for snk like

hii, you might want to check my pinned post 😉

So you dropped EreRiren too?

You don't will say nothing about the CD drama Dungeon?

wait, is it out yet? i’d love to listen to it!

my relationship with ereriren has been rather complicated for the past 1+ year, but i don’t hate it.

Hi, will you review the last snk chapter?

Hi!! 

I somehow doubt it. The problem(s x100) of this chapter runs way deeper than just these final 45 pages, and it’s stuff I saw and analyzed way earlier, made so many posts about it all, so I don’t feel like repeating myself. All in all, I feel like I can finally move on.

In fact, I just rated it and set it as complete in my AniList account and I got the feeling it’s in the past for me already. A closed chapter.

I guess if you want to know my opinion on specific parts, I can pitch in, but it won’t be anywhere near my well-worded and sourced meta analyses of the past. And I’m feeling pretty apathetic to it, so I’m not sure I’d reply immediately.

But a full-blown review of the chapter, which, as I was saying, would have to touch on the whole arc + previous characterization and themes, is too big of a thing, and I don’t care enough about the series to do it anymore. I’ll leave it to someone else, and read and reblog in case I agree.

Hi! It's KS here, I don't know if I am even doing the right thing by telling you or if warning you it's actually worse, it's about SNK. I hope I'm actually giving you a good advice. All I have to say is: stay clear of the last chapter of SNK, run very far away and never look back, never ever. Just forget about it all, I hope you never read it. For real, just forget that it even existed. I'm speechless.

I just read it 😂 i was warned by some friends already, but thanks for the thoughts!

https://toukatan.tumblr.com/post/188975625047/thinking-about-that-one-interview-where-q-your do you mind translating this? I’ve seen another version where the person said that the answer is more of him saying that’s the answer people want to hear from him or something along the lines

i didn’t even need to open the link because i know exactly what this is about XD iirc someone had already pointed this out last year and they were shut down because in this fandom it be like that.

but yes, that’s a gross mistranslation:

“I guess you want to make me say ’Mikasa’, but I wonder (lol).”

*it’s implied he isn’t on board.

I'm not sure if you've answered something like this before but since i enjoy reading your theories i'm curious if you were Isayama how would you end the manga? What would you make Eren do?

You’re right, I have answered the same question exactly a year ago and written a lot of stuff on this topic, though I’ve been so bored and annoyed with the manga that I haven’t talked about it in a while, so that’s probably why you didn’t know, nbd. You can visit my #Eren’s plan tag.

In particular, I suggest you read these posts:

March 2020, I predicted basically the latest chapter and chapter 130-131, kinda.

January 2020, a couple of must-read before anyone reading this wants to come to complain in my posts/askbox about this.

November 2019, Eren making himself out to be the enemy with Grisha’s approval and entrusting everything to Armin. Plus, Eren’s willingness to sacrifice himself.

In my tag, however, there is so much more, because there are also theories written by other people with which I agree. I don’t think I’ve ever written down a proper theory because such other people already put all my thoughts on paper (well, pixels), so there was no need for a comprehensive post on my part.

Besides that, I’ve been of the idea since chapter 66, released and read all the way back in February 2015, thanks to this panel, that Eren would get immense powers akin to a God and sacrifice himself a martyr since the imagery is clearly that of a crucified Jesus (although it could be a crucified/restrained God that has become a devil, it still goes along with my theory).

And by the way, I think I am still right and it’s the only thing that makes the most sense, in light of all the things that have yet to be explained. This, or Eren is controlled/abandoned-lost his will. These are the only two theories that make sense to me and could work together.

It remains to be seen if Isayama has scrapped this heavily implied idea, and is going down the shonen-route with Eren as a simple evil villain.

[yaboylevi]

You read new chapter? You don't like it? I don't think Eren will die, the worm will be destroyed but Eren will survive because we still didn't have EMA talk.

Isn’t that quite obvious? There are still 2 chapters left, after all.

[yaboylevi]

Forgive me if I spoil you but I saw you post some leaks so this is bothering me a lot, as to why the Warhammers are still on Eren’s side? If it’s that Armin and Zeke woke those they know, then Kruger shouldn’t be there unless it’s due to Grisha as well, fine even then it is known that Lara Tybur is against Eren so leaving it to the way that they could have gotten a massive ally on their side it makes no sense for them not to, at this point is this bad writing or something else?

The answer is simple: Isayama never cared about Lara Tybur. She didn’t even have a name until Mappa probably asked him. Her memories were irrelevant, so probably her will and wishes, too. She was literally only just a flashy tool Isayama used for a fight, and he made it a woman for brownie points.

Lots of stuff that happened here makes no fucking sense, so you’re free to interpret it as bad writing, Isayama is tired of this, Isayama is dumb, whatever.

I personally don’t care about analyzing the reasonings behind someone who also doesn’t care in the first place, not anymore.
