Can't believe after all the character development, Reiner did nothing but sniff on histori...

I dont think that it had anything to do with his amazing character development he never stopped being a historia simp

agreed. he was such a good compelling character, and was reduced to a sniffer, i think he was used to for comedic relief but was handled badly, just like that annie pie scene, lol. I just can’t connect with it anymore

To tell you the truth, I felt so bad for him ever since I got to know how much he was suffering. All this time, i was praying for him to stay alive. But then the last chapter happened and one of the really well-written characters was reduced to a sniffer, and all the things I felt for this character died. Now I feel absolutely nothing for him. Why can historia move on with her life and get pregnant just to save herself, not mentioning Ymir(freckles) even once. And Reiner who doesn't even talk about historia after he went back to his warrrier self, suddenly became a simp in the last chapter even tho 3 years have passed. Was that scene really important? This was the worst way to show that reiner isn't depressed anymore. The last chapter suddenly changed the tone of manga from tragic, serious to a badly written comedy.
Though Isayama sensei wrote so many amazing characters, he couldn't conclude them properly. There are some exceptions like Erwin, Floch and Ymir(freckles), even porco. Other than that he managed to fuck up almost all beautifully written characters like Armin, zeke, Eren, Annie, reiner, jean, hanji. Isn't it funny how a comic relief character like Connie is the only person who is serious in the last chapter and serious character like Jean and reiner were reduced to a comic relief. Sorry for the rant

no problem. in fact Im glad i found you here, rant all the way, this is your thread after all. Yam’s can definitely build a good setting, but got overwhelmed at making the ending. what I also didnt like is how he handled the female characters. the ending seriously killed ymir’s (not the freckled) character, as well as mikasa.

I think with the leaks, the story has changed drastically. this is my speculation alright, but I think kodansha wants to the milk aot dry, with the new ending, a sequel will be made if the leaks were said to be true

I dont know how many times should i preach it but men hardky ever create a realistic fenale character. The only ones ive seen doing it right was in books...only modern books. The only ones that can make both good female and male characters are women period.

I agree with you so much. I think for mikasa, chapter 138 was a good conclusion to her character. She seemed so realstic to me to the point , i coudnt stop my tears. 139 just ruined it by making her look pathetic. Where is breaking free from eren?Just how much her character is going to be about just eren and the scarf? Her character was once again reduced to just "Ereh", in other words, the "wit studio mikasa". I love manga mikasa, she doesn't seem as obsessed as anime mikasa I always wanted her to be separated from eren and choose her own path and know that she deserves to be loved too.
And about ymir, I think eren saying she was in " love" with a rapist, pedo, who cut her tongue and whatnot, really upset me. Instead, the wording should've been "she wanted to be loved".
And what's with 'volume 34 extra pages', the leaks are worrying me.

You know, just when I was having so much hope for the female characters in snk, always wondering why can't other guys make strong, independent female characters like this? And as snk came to an end, I was disappointed with the conclusion of female characters.
A character like hanji died for no big reason. She died so that Armin can become the commander of survey corps and become the hero of the story. In the end mikasa is just about eren and her scarf. Annie got reduced to the armin's girlfriend. Freckled ymir just died and historia conceives a child with an no-name, no-face character just to save herself, she didn't even marry that guy at that time, and now she's living a happy life with him, even married him. Just what was the point of her pregnancy? Why was it treated like such a mystery like it was something important to the plot. Everyone is included in the final chapter except Yelena. And eren said that founder ymir was in "love" with king Fritz. The same guy who raped her and made a slave of her. How can you call this fucked up thing love? And pieck wants to kill eren even goes ahead to blow his head saying" vanish, you nightmare" and in last chapter shed says," I wish I could talk to him more", Like eren didn't kill her comrades and children in liberio. What's with this imao.
In the end, men really suck at writing female characters they just use them for fucked up romance. No matter how badly a guy treated her, she wouldn't stop obsessing over that guy.I agree with you, not all but most women can write both good male and female characters.
