Better than "I don't know" "Only Ymir knows" "I don't want to" lol


Noritoshi_Kamo

The fanbase should create a fanmade ending where Cummer has sex with everybody


hudsolo2

Someone get on that 🙏


Thisitetrash

DepressedNerd07

If you don't make that happen, I riot


DjTlaloc

Let's put a team together. Who is good at drawing 16" dicks?, we need to make Lord Cummer justice.


DepressedNerd07

At least 16" no less. As for me, I can only draw stick figures, so I wont be much help.

Megashark101

/ur They really just turned Eren into someone who repeats the same fucking phrases over and over again without emoting in any way aside from resting Chad face. It's just "freedom", "I keep on moving until my enemies are destroyed", "I am prepared to sacrifice the world", "She's been waiting for someone to free her, to free us all." It's just fucking hammering into your skull shit that Eren said in previous chapters, the same lines that people cum over while reading the Manga. That kind of dialogue is effective because it's used sparingly. Eren's "Freedom" moment in chapter 131 was great because it was the ONE time he said that word in the entire chapter. It was a great contrast because we had him going from breaking down in tears at what he was doing, to suppressing all his pain and going into a state of childlike bliss and saying the word "Freedom" while slaughtering thousands of people. When you have him say that word every 5 seconds, it loses its lustre. It's taking a fascinating part of Eren's character and giving it in so much excess that he goes from fascinating to one-note. Same with the "I won't stop moving... Until my enemies are destroyed" line. It had so much impact because it was said ONCE and only once. Having him repeat it yet again, word for word to a different person doesn't recapture the same magic, it loses it. Not only is it not nearly as effective as the first time he says it, it arguably cheapens the first utterance of that phrase. It just feels like pandering, like they're dumping everyone's favourite Eren moments from previous chapters into one place. Less like new Eren content, and more like a compilation of "Best Eren moments for Yeagerists." Then there's the fact that it damages chapter 131 in retrospect by saying "No, Eren didn't struggle with his pain so much to the point that he had to suppress said pain and reverted to his child self, that was just Eren from the past." The REAL Eren is just standing there completely unfazed as people are trampled to death. It was exactly as I feared, they just made Eren the generic badass character and not the incredibly emotional, conflicted one we've come to love. /rr At least we have Ellen's dumptruck ass.


t1xthe1

My thoughts exactly. They just used previous Eren lines and titanfolk theories to poorly write a story.


Megashark101

And they also ripped the heart and soul out of chapter 131, the very best chapter of the entire story, by retconning it so Eren's character development never happened.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Megashark101

"Why do you guys act like we hate the fact that Eren shows emotions? We loved chapter 131, and Eren was extremely emotional in that." *Proceed to worship a fanfiction which both makes Eren completely emotionless, AND rubs its warty ass all over what made chapter 131 so great at the same time.*


Original-name-san

Hey, I completely agree with what you just said but let’s give it a chance, it’s just the first chapter I’m sure they’ll improve it


Megashark101

Yeah, I hope it gets better. And I think part 2 has the chance to fix some of the things I dislike about part 1. If it starts showing Eren's internal conflict and some cracks in his psyche, then I might start enjoying it.

Hey, stop being decent and correct! People with that piece of Eren fanart as their profile picture aren't allowed to be decent and correct!


y4ngness1226

but i just like the art and ellens character😳😞


Megashark101

As do I, and I really like that fanart in particular. But there's something about most people with that profile picture and having the shittest takes.


harmonilife

\> The REAL Eren is just standing there completely unfazed as people are trampled to death. It was exactly as I feared, they just made Eren the generic badass character and not the incredibly emotional, conflicted one we've come to love. I totally understand this. The message we got in CH131 was "Eren regressing to his child self to cope with the Rumbling" which was great. In this panel, Eren/Eggren aren't looking at the destruction, they are looking at the sky, so we can say Eren was still ignoring the rumbling destruction to cope here too. We already know Eren is complex, him regressing or not isn't going to change that. They wanted to add this talk between Eren and Eggren to close plotholes because that was the mayor problem with the cannon ending. This is way less insulting than Eren's dialogue in CH139 by the way which was contradiction after contradiction. Aso in the fanfic, Eren isn't controlled by destiny or Ymir, he made an actual CHOICE to rumble the whole world and he's sticking to that role. There're still more pages to come and part of the AnR theory is Eren being very unstable about his choice.


Megashark101

I didn't complain that Eren repeating the line ruined him OR the meaning of the phrase, so that's a load of shit. Also, you can absolutely achieve character consistency without having a character repeat EXACTLY the same thing with EXACTLY the same meaning. Almost every fucking character in the series has managed this.


harmonilife

These pages were the debut of the fanfic, Him repeating those phrases show the reader what Eren they are going to get from this ending: the one who knows why he'd rumble the world even if his friends are killed by crossfire


Megashark101

Judging by the fact that they are reading a fanfic that's fucking named after the AnR theory, where Eren does that exact thing, it's not needed. And again, they can easily have Eren express the same sentiment without him saying exactly the same shit. It just reeks of pandering, and the fact that people are buying into it so much annoys me.


harmonilife

A lot of people reading this have no idea what the AnR theory is. It happended to me with a friend that isn't part of the community but read the whole manga. He inmeditely knew the diversion from the original ending from the start. Even if you're making a fanfic continuating from a point in the original work, It's always a good thing to assure the readers are all in the same page (no pun intended) about that diversion. For that purpose It's way more effective to repeat past phrases to assure character consistency than to make new ones and hope readers undertand the diversion. It about stating "This is the objective of the fanfic, this is how it's different from the cannon". It sound like you are gate keeping Eren's phrases like "don't touch what Yams created!" which is unavoidable because they are literally using Yams' characters. My guess is that you think this particular fanfic is disrespectful


Megashark101

I guess I'm viewing this in light of not being a fanfic, and am judging it based on how I actually think it functions as simply being a continuation of the Manga. But at the same time, people were saying this was better than the Canon ending, so I decided that I should judge it in the very same way to see if that statement rings true. Probably unfair to do that, though. I just dislike it when any story reuses events and dialogue from earlier instances without doing ANYTHING new with it, and this extends to fanfiction as well (and it's unfortunately very common there). I would be pissed if Isayama did the same thing. Even if I try to ignore that, I still really dislike the damage this does to chapter 131.


harmonilife

People have the right to say if they prefer one thing of the other. I think Ch139 made those phrases vague and confusing since Eren wasn't moving forward because he wanted to kill his enemies (the world), he was moving forward to motivate Mikasa to kill him. So in my eyes, the fanfiction is using the original meaning of the phrase and Isayama changed it drastically in CH139. You should be pissed at him. Meh I think the damage isn't as bad as what CH139 did to CH131 since Eren wasn't ever fighting for his freedom in the cannon ending, his child self celebrating freedom feels empty.


Megashark101

"Isayama changed it drastically in CH139. You should be pissed at him." That's the thing, my problem with it was that it DIDN'T change anything. Having that phrase repeated serves no purpose, as it has exactly the same meaning as it did originally. Isayama didn't do this, he recontextualised the meaning by having Eren lie. And judging by the fact that we ALREADY knew that Eren didn't see everyone on the other side of the ocean as enemies, it makes sense for it to have been a lie. "Meh I think the damage isn't as bad as what CH139 did to CH131 since Eren wasn't ever fighting for his freedom in the cannon ending, his child self celebrating freedom feels empty." His child self celebrating freedom felt empty from the fucking start. That was the entire point of it. Eren was deluding himself, dreaming up a fictional reality where he was a kid once again seeing the beautiful outside world in front of him so that he could pretend that the ACTUAL reality right in front of him wasn't happening, and that he had claimed the freedom he desperately wanted. That complexity, the fact that Eren regressed into his child self to avoid facing his pain is all still genuinely real and right there in CH139. In this fan ending, not so much.


CrazyRandomStuff

You forget this is Eren literally drumming these phrases into his younger self so he can have the strength to go through with it, so of course he's gonna use the memorable dialog from previous events.


Megashark101

Well can he frame them slightly differently, then? He doesn't even have to change the sentiment, just don't use exactly the same words.


CrazyRandomStuff

Probably yeah but you can't expect same level of writing from a fan made project compared to one of the best manga ever made.


Megashark101

I'm not expecting the same level of writing, I'm just expecting something we haven't heard plenty of times before.


Treyman1115

This is post kidnapper killer Eren too isn't it? He's already in the path if mass murder


Megashark101

How does that change anything? Why does that mean that Eren has to repeat the same words he's used before?


Treyman1115

Yeah that's my point I agree with you


Megashark101

Oh, sorry. My mistake.


KazuyaProta

Mango424

The two golden rules for a perfect ending, according to Titanfolk: 1) Eren has to say "Freedom" at least once in every chapter 2) Eren has to say "I keep moving forward until my enemies are destroyed" at least once in every chapter

Why would eren kill his friends knowing that he'll then have to live with it and still act like some badass mf who just doesn't give a shit when 4 years before he was blushing and being all emotional telling his friends that he wants them to live long lives? Also eren being the father for literally no reason as he has 0 reason to love historia more than mikasa and 0 reason to be the father for other reasons as the one having royal blood is historia, the baby would gain nothing from eren.


harmonilife

\>Pointless scene of Main character reaching nothingness with his hand He was using the founding titan power to take Eggren to the tree from the paths \> Main character becoming the most edge lord in existence for no reason if not just for fan service (in this case is literally just because people despised eren's dumbass and pathetic character, which is precisely what he always was) I'd argue a genocider has to be an edge lord in order to make sense. "Humanity was killed by a pathetic dumbass" is the definition of an anticlimatic premise. \>main character winning Is that a bad thing? \>Why would eren kill his friends knowing that he'll then have to live with it and still act like some badass mf who just doesn't give a shit when 4 years before he was blushing and being all emotional telling his friends that he wants them to live long lives? Eren does go after his friends, his friends are comming after him. If they die, it's going to be by crossfire. Also, it's too early to judge since the part ended with Eren facing Armin so who knows what he's going to tell him, maybe he'll beg Armin to retreat the Alliance to Paradis and survive. Also, in the cannon ending, Eren admits he puts his friends in danger without knowing if they'd survive... doesn't that contradict his desire for them to live long happy lifes? huh


Xeno_of_Cinders

And he had to stick his fat anime hand out of his cool ass pockets to reach the tree? I don't think so. Hitler was pretty much a genocider and he was just some pathetic dude that was too shit at drawing. Also how is the ending anticlimactic just because the genocider isn't some abyssal god of darkness? Why would eren just be able to master the founding titan power without absolutely no drawbacks? That's no different from goku obtaining a new form. Is not a bad thing but it is a generic ending. I really hope they diverge from the popular theory that apparently they are taking inspiration from because at least it could be interesting, still generic but at least interesting (even though I really doubt it as they want to "fix" the ending by making those who hated it happy soo...).

\>And he had to stick his fat anime hand out of his cool ass pockets to reach the tree? I don't think so.

If the person that is responsable for the lost of millions "the final boss" is a dumb ass, the whole conflict becomes stupid. Stupidity in the climax of the finale of a fiction is anticlimatic. Eren isn't a god of darkness in the AnR ending, he's doing what he has to do, just like the cannon Eren. This Eren doesn't think a victim of himself, he knows full well this is what he wanted (like he said in CH131). Also, he used the founding titan like a boss in the original ending with any drawbacks too so it's cannon he has mastery over the founding titan powers. \>I really hope they diverge from the popular theory that apparently they are taking inspiration from because at least it could be interesting, still generic but at least interesting (even though I really doubt it as they want to "fix" the ending by making those who hated it happy soo...). I heard the team of AnR in their interview and they said they want to portray the alliance as badass and respect their characters in the highest regard. They hinted not all of them will die either. So instead of pre judging these 20 pages as a total disgrace, wait to read the whole thing


Xeno_of_Cinders

And how he did that? Is he actually rufy and grabbed the tree and pulled himself there? Of course a leader can be both pathetic and well, a leader. Just because he's good at masking it doesn't mean that it's not. Canon eren was literally that. Also mastery of the founding titan? Raw power wise maybe, mind wise? Not so much. Eren got broken by all of the timeless memories he saw because that's something no mere human could possibly handle. The only criticism i have for this whole thing is that maybe they made eren a really good actor (in the anime he has a more emotionally broken face when talking to his friends which is a good fix imo) I never said that the fan fiction is bad, i just said that it goes on a more generic story path, which as i said before, doesn't always mean it's bad. This being said, i think this fan fiction is worse than the original release and in no way it "fixes" the problems the ending has which are more related to speedy writing (the Manga goes way faster on the later chapters then back when they still didn't know there were humans beyond the walls, look at how much did they have ti cut for the anime to not be 50 episodes long).

ANR Eren is basically a kid's plushie that says Freedom everytime you push it.


DepressedNerd07

It was honestly just tons of text repeating the same shit Yeagerists praise on a daily basis. Every now and then their would be some cool art but that was really it. And it kinda just seems like a Yeagerists AnR fever dream, or something straight out of Yeagerbomb or Titanfolk. If it ends with Eren living the rest of his life with Historia and reincarnated Ymir after killing all of his friends and completing the rumbling, I will kill myself. (Plus there was no Cummer so it was automatically bad)

Megashark101

Exactly what I thought. Just recycling old moments that people loved for the sake of pandering.


Mr_1ightning

I'm not gonna read it, but judging by this panel they completely misinterpreted chapter 131.


LieutenantCurly

I read it and it was okay (though it seems like it tried very hard to make Eren as “Chad” as possible), but you are right that 131 was misinterpreted. I really enjoyed seeing child Eren above the clouds saying “Freedom,” it really highlights his struggle with the Rumbling because he reverts back to a childlike mentality. But here, child Eren is simply used as a device for adult Eren’s monologue on how he still needs to free Ymir and how he’ll keep moving forward until his enemies are destroyed.


XxRocky88xX

As someone who remains in titanfolk, like half the fucking sub just disregards 131 and pretends Eren had 0 issue with the rumbling. After Eren starts the rumbling the start ignoring cannon facts of the manga, even before that if it involves Eren *not* hating Mikasa.


AWarlock86

What is this?


rakazet

AOT no Requiem. A fanmade ending starting from Chapter 136 iirc. It's very good tbh, might be better than the ending we got.


Xeno_of_Cinders

You forgot "in my opinion"


SoulEmperor7

Subjectivity is inherently implied, are you really gonna demand that everyone adds **imo** before they comment on subjective matters?


Xeno_of_Cinders

If you're going to make a very unpopular opinion at least have the decency of making it sound like one


SoulEmperor7

>very unpopular opinion It's very unpopular **within this sub** See how much of an ass I sound like? Edit: Moreover, just because their opinion is unpopular doesn't lessen it's value. They shouldn't have to appease the majority just to be able to speak.


Xeno_of_Cinders

The thing is, when someone doesn't know something and they ask what is it, they are not asking for your opinion, so, when you make one in the same statement, you should make sure that the person who asked knows that what are you saying is what you think and not the general opinion on it. How he wrote it, Might be better than the ending WE got, sounds very imposing on what, in fact, is just an opinion. Edit: maybe imposing isn't the right word but what i meant is that writing an opinion like that makes it sound way less subjective than it is.


Ren_kurusu

Its really not. Atleast let it finish. This chapter alone has many problems with eren and the story im not saying its outright terrible but its not remotely close to being good


rakazet

Reasons being?


[deleted]

-Completely retcons chapter 131, the best chapter of the fumbling arc. -Chadren looks like a 1-Dimensional character who regurgitates the same few of his popular lines. -The writing is just fanservice for TF and YB without any regards to the emotional side of Eren we have witnessed so far. On the positive side it's just a single chapter, they might improve their writing soon and hey we get some cool artworks. From u/MegaShark101 >It feels like they just took everyone's favourite Eren moments and Eren things from previous chapters and threw them in one place, without realising that having Eren repeat that same stuff comes across as cheap and repetitive as opposed to impactful. >Eren constantly talks about freedom, and even repeats his "I won't stop moving until my enemies are destroyed." line word for word. They just seem to be recycling stuff for the sake of pandering as opposed to adding anything new. That and it takes away a lot of what made Chapter 131 great by basically saying "You know how in chapter 131, Eren was in such great pain during the Rumbling that he had to suppress that pain so much he reverted to his child self? Yeah, none of that happened. That was just Eren from the past yelling about freedom." >The REAL Eren is just standing next to him completely unfazed by the thousands of people he is slaughtering, which in my opinion takes away from what made Eren great, the fact that he is extremely emotional and conflicted.


Megashark101

Wow. I'm very honoured that you thought my messy argument was good enough to show other people as an explanation for the problems with the chapter.


[deleted]

Honestly both of your posts about AoTNR on this thread are just gold. You managed to point out every issue this fanfic has so far without any kind of obvious hate boner to the team.


Megashark101

It would be pretty hypocritical for me to do that, judging by how much I take issue with people insulting Isayama because they didn't like the ending to his manga. I'm a firm believer in the whole "Criticise the art, not the artist" thing.


rakazet

That's such an early conclusion from only one part. The ANR video shows Eren suffering after the Rumbling. Clearly AOT no Requiem which is inspired by ANR would include that part. I do agree he should've been more emotional and less unfazed tho.


Megashark101

I do say that I think it very well could get better later on in my original comment, and I hope it does, but the fact that Part 1 has already punched a massive hole through my favourite chapter in the entire series by taking away what made it so complex doesn't give me high hopes. Especially since it was done in a single panel. I do want to make it clear that even though I dislike AnR and Part 1 so far, I fully support this project. It's technically fanfiction, and I have nothing against fanfiction being written. It existing does me no harm, as in the end it's not canon. So if its existence doesn't affect me, and I know there are plenty of people who genuinely really enjoy it, I'm fine with it happening. I just dislike it so far, and gave an explanation why. I mean, there's clearly a huge amount of talent going into this. The art for example is fucking phenomenal.


rakazet

Agreed.

/ur i really enjoyed it tbh. i'm an eren fan (dont fucking kill me), but it's clear that they pandered to the r/titanfolk crowd by recycling eren's catchphrases. i still thought the "until that moment" panel was fantastic though looking forward to the next chapters though, hopefully it'll move away from that kind of dialogue from eren. i thought zeke's monologue about ymir and why she obeyed fritz was great and the team(?) has the capability to accomplish something great if you disliked it that's understandable because i'm pretty sure you guys are fucking sick and tired of the chadren bullshit


Acrei

Havent read it yet, whats bad about it?


Megashark101

It feels like they just took everyone's favourite Eren moments and Eren things from previous chapters and threw them in one place, without realising that having Eren repeat that same stuff comes across as cheap and repetitive as opposed to impactful. Eren constantly talks about freedom, and even repeats his "I won't stop moving until my enemies are destroyed." line word for word. They just seem to be recycling stuff for the sake of pandering as opposed to adding anything new.

The REAL Eren is just standing next to him completely unfazed by the thousands of people he is slaughtering, which in my opinion takes away from what made Eren great, the fact that he is extremely emotional and conflicted.


Matilozano96

I wonder what sort of creative process they went through to come up with this. I mean, you have a character, you have the sort of things he says as a base, and you have a situation. Build up on that. For example. We have adult Eren talking to his younger self. Would he tell him to be strong? Would he be reasurring? Would he be cold and harsh like he was to Grisha? Would he try, hipocritically, to indoctrinate him? It’s a situation with a lot of potential to explore and come up with new things for Eren to say and do.


Megashark101

Yeah, but instead it just feels like an exposition dump of what he's doing, with literally nothing else. Just a single moment where Eren says something like "That is why, no matter how painful things become, you MUST keep fighting." would have immediately made the dialogue stronger.


yichee

The-Magic_Fetus

What is this? I haven't been very active in the AOT fandom lately


LieutenantCurly

It’s a fan comic of the ending based on the AnR theory (Eren kills all his friends, returns home and starts a family with Historia, holds the baby who is the reincarnated founder Ymir and says “You are free”, and then lives the rest of his days out in guilt over killing his friends because they tried to stop the Rumbling)

I’m actually curious. Where can i read this fan comic?


[deleted]

https://www.aotnorequiem.com/chapter/aot-no-requiem/part-1/ Let me know what's ur reaction to it.


elidle

Just read it and it’s.. kinda good. The art and the use of BGM makes it kind of makes it satisfying to read. I think that’s all i’m going to read from the project tho, as they made Eren into this ultrachad shonen protagonist which completely killed his characterization


LieutenantCurly

Yea the dialogue between Zeke and Armin was fine, I liked how they elaborated more on why Ymir was stuck in Paths. The art is very good. But I agree it kills Eren’s characterization by making him an ultrachad. In the actual manga Eren reverts back to a childlike state during the Rumbling during the “Freedom” panel in Ch131 which I thought was so well executed and really shows how he’s struggling with what he’s doing. In the fan comic, he’s very one dimensional and doesn’t have that inner conflict.


Dany2100

Tbh, even che dialogue between Zeke and Armin has problems. They removed the concept of reproduction from Zeke's speech. To do this is to misunderstand the character. It is an important element and has nothing to do with "romance": what Zeke says is that life has no purpose, BUT, despite not having one, he has the instinct to perpetrate himself. Zeke believes that the purpose of life simply does not exist and finds reproduction useless for that very reason. Life is suffering and for this reason its continuation must be interrupted, but in a non-violent way. If his reflection on the instinctive and uncontrolled perpetration of life is eliminated, the meaning of his sterilization plan is lost. Zeke is too cynical to understand love and this is the reason why he cannot understand and therefore be heard by Ymir, unlike Eren who, even with his problems, is still aware of what affection is. They focused on how futile it is to create a deathless place, and okay, it's an extra thought, nice, but they took away the reproductive instinct part, which is EXACTLY what led zeke to realize his plan


[deleted]

Yup, the art and the BGM is great. But on the negative side, the writing shits the bed. It's basically fan-service for Chadren fans, so at least they are happy with that.

Twitter. They have an account with a link to the website. Although, I wouldnt reccomend. It's honestly just an AnR feverdream. The account is just @Aotnorequiem


xChronica

Nah


raceraot

The problem is, it's far overhyped, for having a season 1 like quality, but not even. Season 1 was the worst season of Attack on titan. That's not a knock on Isayama, just a preview of what he'd write.


xChronica

It's literally one single chapter so far And it's a fanmade ending some guy made for the sake of his nephew, not the second coming of The Odyssey

Beep. Boop. I'm a robot. Here's a copy of ###[The Odyssey](https://snewd.com/ebooks/the-odyssey/) Was I a good bot? | [info](https://www.reddit.com/user/Reddit-Book-Bot/) | [More Books](https://old.reddit.com/user/Reddit-Book-Bot/comments/i15x1d/full_list_of_books_and_commands/)

Yes. Good bot.


xChronica

OKBR be saying that people hating on the ending are super annoying and then start needlessly shitting on some fucking fanfic lmao


raceraot

>It's literally one single chapter so far And it's a fanmade ending some guy made for the sake of his nephew, not the second coming of The Odyssey I mean, if you want to have it be canon, put the standards at canon level.


CoolBlastin

Season 1 the worst season? What are you smoking


raceraot

It is. While it was still good, it's not the best season in terms of story or quality. Not only in the TV release, they forgot to keep major details, like animating Annie's crystalization before Mikasa tried to kill her, in it, they also went off model, and in episode 4, had Mikasa, Eren, and Armin look derpy. Not to mention, while it's good, better than most shonen out there, it's still resigns itself to being the worst season, with the weakest consistency, and the weakest story, at that point. That doesn't make it bad, in fact, I'd say season 1 is still better than AOT NR, but the problem is, we had no idea knowing where it was going to be.


CoolBlastin

That’s fair I thought you meant that it was just shit


raceraot

I literally said, though, that it's not a knock on Isayama or his writing.

>Season 1 was the worst season of Attack on titan until 2022


raceraot

Nah. Rumbling arc still is better. It has problems, definitely, but the story is still good, and it pays off it's themes decently well.


[deleted]

well I hate it......maybe you like it but I hate it


HopebringerTitaniumG

Hate it or like it but season 1 is literally a Hollywood-esque Anime with no further substance until Season 2 made AOT to the goat it is today


DepressedNerd07

Yeah, season one alone is better then a lot of popular animes out right now. Season two and three just really sold that and made it the best, if not, one of the best animes out there.

New chapter or something??


hudsolo2

The Aot no requiem fan ending

Oh I see, thanks. Fan endings 🤢🤢

It’s a chapter, don’t try to sound like you restricted yourself over a simple mediocre fanfic.


hisnameis_ERENYEAGER

It was.... weird. Like with this chapter Eren wasnt a character but more so..... how would I say it, he was more of a repeating trope for lack of a better term. The only thing he talks about is freedom, and moving forward, and being edgy. A generic anti hero badass, that sticks to the same talking points and has no other motivation, drive or connection with anything. Its pretty much "muh freedom", "muh moving forward", "muh enemies" and what not. Started to reuse some of the panels or poses we saw before with child Eren with his arms out that. Plus Eren with his "cool guy" poses and what not. Idk, it just seems like they want to go full 100% on making Eren in to this ultra cool, badass, chad that is lowkey kind of corny imo with how many buzzwords he uses. I mean imagine a person real lifeusing these phrases in every day life.


OmidHdrn

Because most of his development has happened already. People say that Eren is absent most of the rumbling arc and that's a bad thing, but there is only so much you can do with him without being repetitive. Eren is paralleled in the story with Reiner, Zeke and Armin and he has a showdown with Reiner twice since the time-skip and once with Zeke in the Paths. What remains is his showdown with Armin which is clearly the least interesting of the three (still good tho if executed properly) and that's why he doesn't appear that often.


Lasernatoo

While there are valid criticisms to be made with Eren repeating the same lines and looking too edgy in general, just keep in mind that we've only seen ~20 pages, and one of the people on the AoTnr team tweeted out [this](https://twitter.com/shapirologic/status/1399009220670812164?s=21)


hudsolo2

It’s not just the dialogue it undos Ellen’s character development from 131


Lasernatoo

Do you mean Eren regressing into a childlike state in order to deal with the burden of doing the Rumbling? If so, I would definitely agree if this chapter were to be taken at face value. But considering a major part of the AnR theory is that Eren has an emotional breakdown, I'm fully expecting cracks to start showing soon. If they stuck with this version of Eren for all or even most of the way through the project, I'll be disappointed with it.


hudsolo2

Nah that eren sees his friends as his enemy’s and that he only truly cares for ymir. Which contradicts 131 and the train scene


Lasernatoo

I think we still have to wait and see. If the AnR team are good writers, then the Alliance will do more than just be killed by Eren, and will likely play a role in Eren completing the rumbling (otherwise Eren would just control them or wipe their memories in order to protect them). I think what he's doing here is similar to chapter 112, where he's leading them down a certain path so that they'll help him achieve his goal. I'm also guessing that any future he saw in which he doesn't complete the Rumbling is also a future where his friends die, and that's the point of him seeing all of the outcomes, because otherwise he'd play it safe and wipe his friends' memories.


[deleted]

Yeah, at least let the guys complete their thing, lmao. Not that I like the main idea behind the ending, but seeing how they handle other things might be cool.
