Nah. He was a lame crybaby since season 1.
It runs in the family. Look at his dad and brother.
:camby:
All he had to do was follow through :unimpressed:

Top 5 anime twists and you know it. The fact that he had his dad taking the heat for being gully when it was him all along :wow:

Then it's just character assassinations all across the board.
Somehow, Armin was the only solid character at the end:unimpressed:

Had Reiner still sniffin letters and shyt :unimpressed:

Armin's whole existence after he gets the Colossus Titan and has to deal with Bertholt's bytch ass existence/personality is :scust:

Isayama made him a victim for having to be the one that kept Erwin dead and then show everyone he was not as smart as everyone thought and having zero leadership qualities. It's not as bad a Tyrion's character assassination by D&D in GOT but it's a character that goes from compelling potential to a traumatized cheerleader.

Turned him into a bytch. WOAT ending.
How?
Eren was a bytch from the start.
:camby:
The same bytch that was slicing and dicing adults as a kid, this Eren?

He was somewhat likable early on but in that last part they seemed to change his character and his behavior was irrational in the end.
It is almost like you did not watch the show when he already said he saw his future (and we know what that was) and that the Founding Titan makes the owner see the past, present and future at the same time, to the point he ensured things would play out like he saw it in his head. That and knowing you killed your mother to keep the timeline as he knew it can warp your emotions too.

Armin was and is a bytch. He deserved to stay dead :pacspit: . If Ereh wasn't his mans, he probably would have to be locked up. I know yall aint forget what he was doing in front of Annie's Crystal while she was sleep :merchant:


Dont ever speak ill of the Depression Gawd Reiner :ufdup:

Still doesn't make his a likable character. Introducing time shenanigans into a story typically doesn't work out well. He fought with the crew for the sake of fighting with them instead of rebelling against what he saw. He cried and apologized to his friends then still attempted to destroy him because the plot turned to mush and he became the antagonist because of shock value with no deeper meaning or conviction. When LeLouch in Code Geass turned the world against him to unite it that made sense and was from his own convictions. When Eren did his genocidal maniac thing it was him doing what he was supposed to do because of it needed to be that way?

I understand his mental state was cracked as hell.

Two issues I had.

One issue is the...flashback? FlashPresent? The conversation with Armin within his memories is what drove me up a wall. Had the man crying and wailing to the point that even Armin was looking at him like :francis:


Second, the author did the "He was actually good the entire time" trope, instead of truly making it a heel turn for Eren. Making it an "endless cycle of war" story instead of letting Eren complete the mission with a bittersweet ending just didn't work with me.

Instead we got everything wrapped up in a neat bow. And Eren got NO cheeks :mjlol:

EDIT: My third issue is during said wailing, he swore up and down he tried to change the future but we just need to take his word for it at that point. We never saw him try anything, just hints like his demeanor after Sasha's death.

Like he told them, he is dong what he wants and he will not stop them from doing what they want, which is stopping him. He could of after capturing Zeke done a million different things from stopping them, but he did not. You have to remember again that with the founding titan he said time and what becomes before, what is now and what is after is all the same to him so he already knew the "end".

He ensured that his friends were safe for now given what he has seen, given that the world was set back dramatically in regards to population and technology. For Eren at least, it is not while his friends are still around and like he said, the fight will not end until Eldia or the world disappears, but we know that Paradis is still destroyed in the future.

It was the present, before they had the final fight. He spoke to him and others through the founding titan then erased their memories, he even told Armin he may remember them again once it was "over".

Nah, he was fukked up for what he did but even he admits it only buys them time: Eldia ends up getting destroyed in the future anyways, just not then.
