Aot has a completely trash ending but what adds fuel to the flame was how pointless it was. From the manga it’s told his actions were to keep eldia safe, but this is far from the case. Causing a rumbling does anything except keep people already in Eldia from being attacked by Marleyan soldiers who were also in the city, coincidentally having the walls destroyed also ensures any Titans interested in eating the inhabitants of Eldia have absolutely no restrictions placed on them for doing so. Both of these problems come to fruition and by the time the manga ends a substantial portion of eldias already fractured population is zero due to murder and mass emigration. Those remaining survivors of Eldia at the cliff in the final chapters, they’re the last ones remaining in this gay ass story because of Eren, everyone that was stuck in Paradis is fucking dead or being eaten by the remaining pure titans before they burn themselves to death without ever becoming human. And none of this actually makes any sense given Isayamas own fucking lore. Reminder, the rumbling starts right after Erens head gets severed by a high caliber AT round directly through the neck by Gabi. Isayama wrote this ending horrendously, he somehow both managed to include the shittiest outcome for the entire planet, and fuck over the perpetrators of it when keeping them safe was the fucking point of having that damage inflicted on the planet in the first place. Oh and all of the geographical damage is just flat out retconned for the most forced and cheesy ending imaginable to say something about violence and fascism without commitment. Bad writing.

I don't see why a story can't have bad outcomes for the people involved. It neither needs to have one side getting what they want nor does it need a deep message to convey. Can't a story simply be the unfolding of events and the audience gets to experience a fictional world?

imo lots of people consume stories for escapism purposes so shitty outcomes kinda defeats the point.

AoT is a tragedy and lives up exactly to what the genre is about. If people were looking for the good guys to win then they tried to find that in the wrong series. The critique about Eldia not being saved also wrongfully assumes that the story is about Eldia being saved.

That’s fine, but you can’t say that for AOT for two reasons.

The ending we got was forced and out of synch with what would actually happen given the authors context for the worlds setup. Eren is fucking dead and the power of the founding titan is long since gone well before he has any reason to be able start a rumbling.
The fact that the rumbling occurs and how it changes the planet still fucks over any sense of consistency and manages to be a considerably less satisfying ending than if Eldia was straight up raised to the ground and the story ended off there.

The ending was shit and poorly thought out. There’s no excuse for Eren, his actions, the retconning and the plot armour it took to even create such a terrible conclusion. Hell I haven’t even touched into the fact that outside of the literal death of paradis island, basically anyone that didn’t already hate Eldia now has zero reason to not want to kill off the remaining Eldians, wether or not they’re even aware that plenty don’t support Erens actions.

there's also the fact that the story constantly cocksucks eren and lionizes his edgy retard behavior, it's not like the warning signs weren't there

Have you heard of a tragedy anon it's one of oldest genres of fiction, as the ancient Greeks invented it. And it's considered one of most popular genres of fiction, and is often considered the highest form of art.

>people haven't consumed tragedy for escapism/catharsis since fucking civilization existed

the pure titans have been wiped out during the time skip, but in theory there could be some left since eldia was sending them all the time. also in my opinions it should have ended with eren succeeding, but paradis still getting destroyed but from inside due to the fascist who took over, but Isayama is a fascist himself so he of course did nit do that and would rather create an ending which validates the kill or be killed ideology of the fascists and his newly ideologically open segment of audience.
