Why the show changed so much? In the comic, while he was always an asshole, Homelander was ultimately innocent of all the original depraved acts as it was the work of his clone who made all that to gaslight him into insanity but in the show there is not clone, Homelander was at fault of everything.

Eren. Homelander was just a sad man's strawman ready to be killed when the plot demanded it. But Eren, Eren came so out of nowhere and betrayed the character so hard that the mind just could not keep up with the absurdity and the only response was to laught.

Because there wasn't any foreshadowing of that or of his "zero approval gambit", that page is where all that is revealed. After a whole manga of him being an asshole to the girl and wanting to destroy humanity, now all that was an act? People felt tricked and exploded in fury.
>>
>>739824310
>Why is he a cuck?
Drawback of the being able to turn into a Titan is that you only have 13 more years to live. So Eren was reaching the end of his lifespan since he had the power much longer than he had known
>>
>>739824538
It was a complete tonal shift on the character who shortly before this panel had just committed mass genocide while also being called pathetic by the author's self insert.

That was something the anime adaptation added to try to calm down the hatred.

I don't get why people act like the homelander thing was a character assassination. Every time he's on the back foot he gets pissy and bargains. Of course he was going to do that on his death bed.
The Eren and Dekku stuff was literally out of nowhere. I understand the outrage there but here? I don't get it
>>
>>739825227
See the original the boys comic, how Homelander ended is extremely different.
>>
>>739823598
The entire Attack on Titan meltdown was AMAZING, even to an outsider, and will be remembered for decades to come. The Boys is already forgotten.
>>
>>739825227
It was obvious that homelander was just an insecure manchild and is nothing without his powers. His fans literally fell for the tough guy facade
>>
>>739825275
And? It's been a different continuity since the god damn start.
>>
>>739825227
chronic outrage farmers and culture war retards started pretending to identify with him out of spite as the trump parallels started get more and more blatant and now they have to pretend to care that this whiny superpowered baby being made out to be pathetic when backed against the wall was some kind of shocking twist. I think the dumbest is people trying to revisionism the comic as anything but even dumber, shittier edgy trash too.

AoT by a country mile. AoT was amazing until the last chapter, even considering the cringevengers. The Boys hasn't been good since Season 1.

>See the original the boys comic
The tv show went full fan fiction from s01e01 and the fact that nobody seemed to care about ANY of the massive changes makes me think it really didn't matter one way or another at all. It's literally the definition of slop. Just consume product then get ready for next product, which is apparently a prequel or something?

t. stopped watching middle of season 3 because it was so fucking boring
>>
>>739825585
You can compare the two but in this continuity that's totally in character for homelander
>>739825732
Yeah but then you get into the whole black noir clone shit which wasn't even addressed
>>
>>739825276
I don't think AoT's creator want his series to forever being remembered for ONLY the shitty ending. It the same fate that Cuck VS the forces of NTR and game of thrones got, only remembered for super shitty endings that ruined everything and pretty much destroyed the IP's reputation forever.
>>
>>739825732
Eric Kripke really wanted to make a show where Superman Donald Trump gets beat up and begs for mercy by offering to suck cock and eat shit. Do you have a problem with that????
>>
>>739825857
>I don't think AoT's creator want his series to forever being remembered for ONLY the shitty ending.
Of course not, but he should have written a better ending then. Turns out endings are pretty important.
>>
>>739825872
All chuds are cowards who beg for their lives.
>>
>>739825872
That's why I said is a Joker 2 situation: people loved the character the creator wanted them to hate, this pisses them off so they destroy the character in the most spiteful way possible.
>>
>>739825227
better ending would be to let him live
also crazy how the negress gets away scott free despite putting him into power and causing the deaths of a ton of people

>>739825954
says the fat fuckin passive aggressive libtard
>>
>>739823598
AoT due to the fact that so many people today are still insanely obsessed with the idea of edgEren being canon.
Who would have guessed that the retarded kid from the first 60% of the series didn't suddenly become super cool with high aura during an offscreen timeskip?
Either way the meltdown about it made me understand why normies love slop like John Wick so much.
>>
>>739826012
I wish studio executives were based and had more power over the products so they could tell Kripke to eat shit and suck dick.
>>
>>739826012
>people loved the character the creator wanted them to hate
not sure about homelander but the creator didn't want joker to be hated. my guess is it just didn't resonate in the way they wanted to
>>
>>739826012
I think you can still love a character that begging for his life. Again that's been this homelander from the start. I still like him regardless of how he went out BECAUSE he was a smug megalomaniac

You can like people who lose. Someone being pathetic in the most dire of situations doesn't undo the cool times he weaseled out and outmaneuvered

The problem is Butcher is supposed to be the backbone of the story, but for some reason they made Homelander a fucking massive character that is integral to everything, unlike the comics.
But then they shat all over Butcher too????

Author wanted to write a story where the Shonen MC becomes the big bad by the end.
But said author made him to cool and so he got a massive fanbase which combined with pressure from the publisher, and his own internal feelings about the character, caused the author to pull back on his original plans by trying to make it more justified for the MC to do Super Genocide, only to pivot back to the original intention right at the end by making said MC have a pathetic incel tier crashout before dying.

Pretty much this
Your meant to be saddened that he turned out that way and should want to seek to reform the environment that caused him to be like that but the common morality puts ones care for civilization above him.
Which is an issue when nobody is buying that your civilization is worth protecting anymore.

It could be argue that Homelander saved millions that day, who knows what the truly insane Black Noir could have done if he survived with his only purpose in life fullfied.

(You) issue, I've always seen a lot of complaints that the show didn't follow the comic
>>
>>739826694
Comic Homelander was a dummy meant to mock nepobaby celebrities, while show Homelander was meant to mock Trump.
The former is treated by creative types as a personally harmless if is corrosive to society type of person while the latter is treated as an ontological evil that destroyed the Obama era dream of an continuing march forwards in regards to idpol leftist ideals.

Except people loved him for that, it's the reveal that this was a lie to get himself killed and unite everyone and the out of nowhere simping for mikasa what pissed people off. In other words people WANTED Eren to go full genocidal to save his people.

>>739826694
The comic ending was awful, like last minute evil twin twist villain sucks.

>>739824538
Did you miss the part where Armin calls him pathetic? The author is mocking Eren and making him a whiny crybaby chud.
>>
>>739827305
But anon...that wasn't the ending of the comic. The actual ending is that Butcher decided to go Eren but when was defeated by the black dude he had a changed of heart and tricked him into killing him to end it all.
>>
>>739827304
That's my point actually they should have doubled down on it and it would have been memorable

Instead the managka got cold feet and the editors fucked up too
>>
>>739824752
>QRD?
Final arc of the story starts with a time skip and perspective shift focusing partly on a new cadre of characters, while the previous protagonist who has future sight powers but reduced lifespan has turned into a genocidal villain for mystery reasons. Fans either expected the story to play it straight with him being consumed by hatred for your run of the mill war is bad message, or there to be some kind of 4D chess plan on his part where he actually tried to do the right thing. Instead it's revealed he just learned through his foresight powers that he gets cucked hard by his childhood friend after his death.

I mean, only if he redeemed himself. He didn't apologize for raping starlight and didn't try to redeem himself in the slightest. My ending would be him killing himself realizing everyone hates him and after he lost everything and being exiled from the sea

I'm lowkey gay for the actor, he's really pretty

How would the modern day anime/manga fanbase react to Death Note's ending?
I don't remember if Light's pathetic death was perceived as negatively as these characters.
>>
>>739828118
Ironically, she never did have any. All she had was omnipotence disguised as intelligence because the writers don't know how to write smart characters.
>>
>>739829160
Maybe because the death's everyone remembers Light of is his anime death, which was completely different from your pic.
>>
>>739825227
Even in Mortal Kombat when he loses he throws a hissyfit and runs away
>>
>>739829160
To be fair, most Death Note fans are anime-onlys. Additionally, the anime didn't have Light pathetically beg Ryuk to save him.
>>
>>739826694
Comics Homelander was a brittle moron.

He didn't do terrible things initially, but when he thought he did, he instantly snapped and became a monster for real.
>>
>>739829382
That is what makes his realization that he did all those terrible things for nothing even better, as Butcher put it "he became a fucking psycho BY MISTAKE".

I don't think it was a character assassination, I think the whole show was tranny dogshit and that ending was the peak of tranny dogshittery. The show was inexcusably bad, and getting to that point just highlights how truly awful it was and how creatively bankrupt its creators are.

Not him but while the comic was dumb edgy trash, it still wasn't as bad. "It's unfaithful to the source material" is just another excuse to shit on the show for those who are either afraid of calling it leftist garbage or are tired because they already called it leftist garbage the last 17 times someone brought it up.
>>
>>739823049
I’m saying this unironically, it would be pretty soulful if when Homelander is about to get a finisher he has a quick dialogue where he begs to eat shit if they spare him before he dies.

Manga light died differently from anime light to be fair.

The anime light just couldn't believe he lost and spent his last moments thinking he won even in death. The Manga version was light being reminded that making a deal with a literal death has a cost

FPBP.
>>
>>739829678
They didn't do the black noir clone stuff in the show so they changed the ending
>>
>>739829678
Because they wanted to make Homelander fully guilty of his actions, in the comic he was gaslight into thinking he did terrible things, thinking himself to be a monster already, he snapped and went to do more terrible things which are completely his fault but in the end he was innocent of the original acts including raping the wife of Butcher.
>>
>>739829160
The problem with Light's death is how unearned it is. Nobody gives a shit about Near and Mello, who feel like Kira from Temu kind of characters. It's hard to root for those two to take down Light. Light and Kira rivalry was the peak of the series and it kinda became Light's solo show after Kira died. Fans would have been more satisfied if Light's death was caused by some long term keikaku dori shit pulled by Kira to eventually expose Light and take him down. Nobody likes it when this literally who Near just happen to get the W due to PLOT.
>>
>>739829797
>spent his last moments thinking he won even in death
What? this didn't happen, he tried to run away, managed to reach some stairs but fell off as ryuk wrote his name in the death note, then he spend his last moments seeing an halluzaination of L while mechancolic music played, his death was ultimately...peaceful.

Funny thing is that he got exactly what he wanted in the end. Mikasa pined after him for the rest of her life even with her presumably marrying and having a child with someone else (probably Jean) and was even fucking buried next to him, probably thought about him during sex too.
Was still a fucking bullshit character change. Mikasa would have dropped her pants for Eren literally the moment he asked but then when he’s about to die right at the end he suddenly is crying about not being able to be with her
>>
>>739830039
In case you forgot the whole point of Homelander is that he literally doesn't properly know how to use his own powers effectively, when someone knows how to deal with him he chocks
>>
>>739829780
It wasn't Near who made it, but his subordinated, Near even noted that he managed to do it in just a few hours.

>>739830129
Mikasa was sister-zoned by Eren the whole damn series when she obviously wanted his dick. And then, post final time skip, Eren grew more aloof from his friends and comrades. He was already weighed down about the action he knew he must take. It already was shown in multiple instance that he understood the moral of his action but had no choice but to take it. The ending is just some fucking bullshit character assassination.
>>
>>739829678
>Why try to change that and make something worse instead of just sticking with what was already made?
Because every single time some retard adapts something for his movie, he at best thinks he can do better and "fix" the original from parts he didn't like, and at worst never gave a shit about the original to begin with but wants the name to advertise his shitty original work that wouldn't have been greenlit otherwise
This happens in other mediums too but it's most prevalent in movies and TV shows. I blame the fact everyone involved with /tv/ adjacent hobbies, either as producer or consumer, is a mouth drooling retard

Fuck, it has been decades since I watched it so I got mixed up. I did mean L yea. L and Light was was the main course of the show. Near and Mello didn't even need to be introduced. It would be cool if the whole 2nd season involve the other already introduced characters piecing together L's cleverly placed and hidden clues and notes left behind to eventually get on Light's trail.

At least the comic book Starlight got BTFO by her boyfriend for being a cheap slut (until they got back together anyway, don't know why, I didn't find that issue of the comic).
>>
>>739830414
That is what I was referring to. Mikami is EXTREMELY autistic when it comes to the death note and used it extensively. Thus, it is highly unlikely that the subordinate would have the ability to make a copy that Mikami couldn't tell the difference from within a few hours.

>>739830737
Being fair: Game of Thrones hasn't ended (novel wise) because George is going to literally die before he even attempts it.

So he told them the proposed ending and the TV show went with it.

EVEN IF he finishes the novels, it's going to be a second wave of hating from book-only readers.
>>
>>739829160
Light was always pathetic. He's never portrayed as anything but a narcissist who severely overestimated his own intelligence. It's just contrarian neets that fanboy for him and they'd be among the first people he kills in reality.
That's a lot different than Eren's situation who has a whole thing about his homeland facing extinction. You're led to believe certain things about the story but then the author throws it all out because he was watching too much Marvel.
It does sound like it lines up with Homelander's depiction but I don't give a shit about /tv/

Nah, shipping wasn't even a problem with it. It was just a straight character assassination for Eren. Maybe Eren could have been in a relationship with Historia or w/e since many (including me) felt like it would have driven the plot and character toward a better direction but ship wasn't really the main concern.

It would've been, but then again the L vs Light era death note wasn't clever either, and I don't think whoever drew that chinese comic could've made a compelling enough multi-stage plan to expose Light. One can't write plots that are more clever than oneself.

And since that guy happened to be the actual most powerful, most insane, most murderous monster on earth that was a pretty darn heroic deed

>>739831145
Kinda, the core ideas and endpoint never changed but the mentality behind the writing did.
Its basically that Isayama wrote the thing over 11 years, going from a 19 years olds idea of "heh what if I subvert shonen hero stereotypes" to a mid 20s "ok but me and everyone else likes these guys and what if their was moral ambiguity and depth to the happenings" to a late 20s "regardless of murky morality the main characters actions are abhorrent and I feel a moral obligation to depict that as negative".
To the detriment of the stories structure and tone.

Does Hughie not exist in the comics?
>>
>>739831898
My gut answer is no
He did a lot of dumb shit including changing sides multiple times and revealing the love of his life was Stormfront but he never got a proper humiliation ritual and never stopped being a cigar chomping macho douchebag
And in the end he got shoved back in the freezer, again, to wait for the spinoff starring him

Other way around
I guess people don't post Hughie panels often because he's lame, but the comics take six entire issues to cover what the show shoehorns into five minutes in the last episode - Butcher's descent into full genocidal madness and Hughie being the only one that can stop him in spite of the fact that they love each other as brothers

I actually love their last confrontation here, that Hughie saves the world because he's an incompetent wimp. If you need context Butcher has already killed MM, Frenchie and Kimiko and was perfectly willing to kill Hughie in a fight here but instead Hughie falls out of a fucking window and Butcher's heart is faster than his brain, of course he has to grab him

I watched the movie when my kid was really into Cars back when he was 2-3. If I can remember it:

> New Racer shows up, blows McQueen the fuck out
> McQueen thinks he lost his edge, goes to a training facility and is followed around by a proud latinx assistant
> McQueen skips the new fancy training and tries getting his confidence back in destruction derbys and other "old school" tracks.
> Rematch race happens, McQueen abruptly decides proud latinx car should take his place.
> latinx car easily crushes the new car
> McQueen takes on the "Hornet" colorway like the guy from the first movie and retires to coach the proud latinx car.

Anons who were kids watching that will have to tell you how everyone felt about it since I was an adult before every watching the Cars franchise.

They even storyboarded an entire actual ending where McQueen races the bad race car in the end and wins with the VAs and everything but cancelled it at the last second for the humiliating ending.

Is there any video game or game franchise that had an ending as bad as the Boys, Game of Thrones, or Stranger Things?

GoT is considered the worst because EVERYONE was watching it. It was pretty much the last major watercooler show but with a blockbuster budget. Once the show passed the books, there were some notable BTS fumbles
>GRRM only gave the showrunners the broad strokes of the ending. They had enough to film the key scenes but everything in-between was forgettable
>Showrunners had enough material to run with another 2 or 3 seasons but they were trying to get a Star Wars gig at the time when Disney was printing money.
>The showrunners admitted that they wanted to cater to 'Mothers' and 'NFL Players' to capture every target market possible. It essentially dumbed down the show to be as accessible and neutered as possible.
Also this was peak woke era so you had a lot of girlboss moments that inevitably made no rational sense in the context of the show. I ultimately blame GRRM for being a lazy fat fuck who secretly admitted he is not finishing the books.

Attack on Titan’s ending is a masterpiece compared to The Boys. At least it followed through on its promise of mass destruction. You saw 80% of the world be laid to waste. The Boys climaxed with a fistfight inside a dinky Oval Office set. They spent all their budget on celebrity cameos and had nothing left for setpieces. Even the comic ending carried 10X more weight.

Definitely Eren. Can't even read the beginning of the story anymore after knowing how he ends up. With The Boys I can at least delude myself that the writing team changed between S2-3 and Homelander isn't the same character he was supposed to be in the beginning.

not because I wanted eren to win or the eren dove memes but it ruins literally every plot point in the story and all the characters involved except floch
an ending so bad it makes it impossible to rewatch even a single episode/season because it ruins them all retrospectively
the boys ending wasnt bad or good it was just extremely predictable and mid, its not even bad enough to meme and /tv/ tried their hardest when the finale launched
in the end its just forgettable and people wont give a fuck about it or the boys in a month which could be considered worse

Season one was written before the 2016 election. That’s why Homelander was his own character with goals and motivations. Season two onward was just “Take a Donald Trump statement and change one word to Supe”. It’s going to age horribly if it hasn’t already.

There's two major retcons from S1 of the show
>in S1, what happened between Becca and Homelander is very ambiguous- she's seen entering his office at the Christmas party, then leaving hours later, putting her shoes back on, looking conflicted and then abandoning her husband shortly after
In S2 this became "He definitely raped her"

But a bigger one
>Butcher tries to kill Stillwell's baby and Homelander rescues him - Homelander didn't even like the baby in a hilarious show of petty immaturity, but he still saved him because Butcher was going to blow up a fucking baby
In S2 this became "We forgot to mention the baby can teleport (??)"

The latter one bugs me more because it's the only flat out heroic thing Homo ever does and it also underscores from the start that Butcher is in fact a murderous psycho himself but the new writing team went in and went "Nah we don't like that"

I was certain they were setting up Homie to have a split personality. His alternate raped Becca and he has no memory of it.

The farmer shit was more of a exemplification of the problem of sidelining Historia the whole final arc and she is just there like shitty red herring. Historia was the center of the arc prior and underwent huge character development and was in the center of the story. Part of her development is her finally pushing herself to be proactive and taking action. Then, in the next final arc, Historia took like ZERO action and dialogue in present time (she only showed up in flashback or being spoken about) despite being a huge plot device and seemingly the centerpoint of the story in many factor. Then, she just get brushed off with marrying some random ass no name farmer off screen and never actually got involved in the story again? Fucking bullshit.

The funniest part about this discourse is reactionaries getting so upset that they’ve gaslit themselves into defending the comic. No, even with this dogshit ending, the comic is not better. It’s a fucking abysmally bad comic. Homelander is not a more interesting or a more badass character in the comic. His death isn’t any less retarded in the comic. You bet on the wrong horse in both cases. Cope.

Garth Ennis is a leftist.
Unfortunately his particular form of edgy Gen X fedora iconoclasm is forbidden today, because our new High Priests are more sensitive and censorious than the evangelicals were.

Never read this, I feel like I dodged a bullet there. Berserk was already too frustrating for me when Miura took us on a stupid boat ride for a decade, and he ends up dying right after the most boring part of the manga. That boat ride turned me off completely from reading manga in general. How many of these artists are lonely bastards? Such a brutal profession to the mind.

Nolan is like the opposite of what people bitch about ITT because they spend so much time revealing that he was perfectly rational and benevolent while doing the most shocking edgy Space Hitler shit

The guy that pops in my head when you say this is Toriyama, who was happily married with multiple kids for his entire career
And the most bizarre offputting thing about his work to me, I don't really give a shit about the plot holes or power wank scaling or whatever, but he genuinely doesn't seem to comprehend what a "husband" or "father" are

Or maybe it's just the truth

Most shonen shit the best with their endings.

It's true. I'm trying to think of shonen with good endings. There's like, Full Metal Alchemist? And er, I liked the end to HxH. Not sure what other shonen I'd say had a good ending. Kenshin has multiple endings I suppose, with one of them being markedly fucked up.

You can feel it in parts because in the comics he was losing it. The funny thing is that Ennis called out this sort of shallow 1D writing the show did to Homelander in one of the comics when Homelander is staring into a mirror and then makes fun of himself being retarded. Which the tv show turned into a shattered mirror with multiple Homelanders. Also the fact that Homelander is not even that bad and literally has an evil twin that is used to manipulate him into thinking he was doing all the insane stuff that is caught on photos doesn't help either.

Light got robbed by a total asspull, so I imagine most readers forgave him for losing his composure. He was simply too smart for the author to punish him in a satisfying way, which is typical for this series. Pic related, Minoru from the spinoff outsmarted everyone and would have gotten away with everything a million bucks richer if the Shinigami King hadn't gotten butthurt and changed the rules for handling the death note ex post facto to kill him in petty revenge.

Either way, his behavior is typical and accurate of a father. The nuclear family is a cute thought experiment, but without social cohesion, and religious dogma binding people properly to the institution, it doesn't typically work that way for the overwhelming majority of people. Dads tend to fuck off for one reason or another. For better or worse. In many species of the animal kingdom, the female is biologically and instinctively compelled to run the male off after childbirth. Even to the point of his death. This behavior is present in humans as well (and probably Saiyans too). Natural pair bondings exist, obviously. The unique thing about people in this regard is our adaptability, and tendency to employ alternate mating strategies.

Comic is better, Hughie trying and failing is funny and Butcher getting himself killed through his pathological need to protect the stand in for his brother is a very fitting fatal flaw. Him hesitating is a choice, but the comic has him instinctually protect the person he ostensibly should be killing. Its a much stronger more emotional death.

At least somebody gets it.
I feel like if Hughie had been slightly less of a moron, if he had managed to swing at Butcher, Butcher would have actually beaten him to death. He would have cursed and wept and done it, and then walked away from his corpse, pushed the button and caused armageddon.

But that split second of the glass breaking, he can't think. What his instinct tells him to do is the exact opposite of the atrocity he's steeled himself to commit.

MM almost made it easier for him, played it out the way he wanted it to. I don't mind that the show cut out all of the humiliation rituals about MM's wife and mom and daughter, but they also really cut out how cool he is, and for that matter how he was also inseparable to Butcher.
The shit they went through together, even before Hughie joined the team, makes this whole sequence shocking, underlines the exact second Butcher goes from the main hero to the main villain without actually seeming like an asspull or dramatic character change for him.

Eren.
Homelander was such an obvious Joker 2 Part Two. No idea how anyone expected that character to end up as anything other than a raped and gaped bitch to humiliate timmies, considering that scene followed hours and hours of literal gay sex and other woke trash. With Eren on the other hand, you had literal /pol/ threads sucking off the writer claiming that Attack on Titan was some sort of unironic white supremacist dogwhistle. It affected the entire board for months and people still seethe about it to this day, hence this thread. Meanwhile it’s been like a month and people barely even talk about Homelander outside of /tv/

Homelander as a Trump analogy makes more sense than /pol/ cares to admit when you really look at the parallels.

Trump never got any affection from his mother or father who used him largely as a tool. Homelander was raised in a lab to be a product of a corporation.

Trump has never had to face any consequences for anything he's done. There's a reason "Teflon Don" is his nickname. Homelander is the same way, he's the biggest, the strongest, the most valuable, and nothing can touch him.

So what happens to these two when they get everything they could possibly want?

They're fucking miserable. They can't stop bitching about how picked on they are, despite being able to crush anyone they want and do anything.

They're both bottomless voids because they were never told no and never had to make themselves feel good about themselves. They're constantly hungry pits fot external validation.

Hell, if anything, Trump may be a bit better than Homelander. Trump had a surprisingly human moment in an interview where he admitted he wasn't going to heaven. I think that's more humanity than Homelander ever showed.

But I only watched the first two seasons, so

It's really not that much of a stretch on paper. Homelander was always the embodiment of ignorant, boisterous American exceptionalism and imperialism, and Trump has absolutely been the poster boy of that culture since 2016. The only reason it's annoying is because every single leftist has already spent the last 10 years doing their own Trump parody, so having Homelander do it is just eye-rolling at this point

see the main thing is homelander is that he's essentially a kid given all the powers in the world, and he acts like it, so when he loses his powers you expect him to start acting like a kid and crying over losing his toys and whatnot, right?
well he does that for a few seconds, but THEN he jumps to talking about sucking dick and eating shit and suddenly all the nuance is gone and it's right back to edgy sexual comedy with a pinch of wish fulfillment over kripke's whole obsession with making homelander supertrump

They stopped him because it is fundamentally wrong to kill millions of innocents, which most of the mainland people were, which is something even Eren acknowledged, mourning in particular the deaths of two children he'd met and, who we (and possibly even Eren himself, through his Titan powers) watch be crushed to death.
If he hadn't been stopped, instead of the Titan power going away, he would have depopulated the world of everything (not just people, but all land-based animal and plant life) but an island of people with a chip on their shoulder and the power to turn themselves into hulking monsters that eat everyone that isn't also a hulking monster.

>They stopped him because it is fundamentally wrong to kill millions of innocents, which most of the mainland people were
Of course it's wrong, do you think I agree with him starting it in the first place instead of going the eugenics route that Monkey Trouble was wanting him to go with? The fact of the matter is he's already committed to it and stopping him means they're going to immediately go and nuke you anyway the instant they have the capability to because now you've confirmed you're untrustworthy, they were right about being fearful of Titans, and they were already terrified of your capabilities to begin with. He's added fuel to the fire and half-assed his genocide so now no one has to care about him or his people anymore and have no reason to listen to any ambassadors or people trying to save the people of Paradis and Titans since a new Rumbling could happen in the future. All he's done by stopping the genocide is make them even more hated, insular, and guaranteed they will be genocided if a drop of Titan blood is found in them whereas if he killed all of the people of Marley then it's just insular Paradis civil wars over land instead.
>he would have depopulated the world of everything (not just people, but all land-based animal and plant life)
Paradis still had all of that and could have easily worked to fix it. It wouldn't be the same but it still could have recovered since he basically just flattened everything. Anything in the ground would still be fine, it's primarily the land-based animals and plants. Didn't his dad also bring seeds from the mainland or am I remembering wrong?
>well after the deaths of the main cast, who all happily live to old age in a state of peace.
This doesn't change the fact that he killed all of those people for nothing and his entire homeland is now depopulated because of his actions.

Genocide is bad, but Eren had already committed to it and was nearly done with it. There's a reason why everyone hated Armin's group

Problem really is that, unlike the comics where the boys were just Ennis donut steel OCs that just needed to be badass, and Homie was just Supes but he's a demented pervert, the show needed to have subtramas and stuff that would make us enjoy the characters, the problem is that is also up to the actors job. Butcher does great and as in the comics, he's number 1 in both, but Homie got a huge improvement because Starr was good at the role and everyone liked it
Problem is that the rest were just going on circles with their characters (even both Butcher and Homie) for like 3 seaons, ofc the one actor that had all the charisma made people like him more which ruined the whole point of the show in the first place.

I think this era was great but they started to lose the plot with a lot of the political stuff, bare in mind, both comic and show do that, problem is Ennis clearly had more issues with the comic book industry and the commercialization of it, than Kirke to the movie/show industry, so all of the plots about it are just cheap jokes and he focuses more in the political aspect. Even the whole point of companies and commercialization gets lost in translation because it became so politically charged no one paid attention to it, which by the end Ennis does touch on it (the whole Vought is still around but their latest group, Pure, is a failed product)

Nobody claims that Eren didn't love Mikasa. Eren always had cared for Mikasa and would kill anyone to protect her (and he actually did multiple times). It's just that Eren had always had treated her like a sister and family rather than love interest even if Mikasa felt differently. That was their dynamic the whole series. In the last arc, he distanced himself from her, which he also did to all of his friends because he foresee his own doom, but it was obvious that he didn't actually hate Mikasa despite being cold to her. Then suddenly, in the finale, he actually had deep romantic feeling for Mikasa all along and felt jealous that Mikasa will marry someone in the future after he died? That's a fucking recon and destruction of his character. We never saw the shift of Eren stop treating Mikasa like a sister and develop real romantic feeling for her. Eren never expressed jealously for Mikasa in any way in the whole series (Mikasa is usually more possessive and jealous of Eren in fact).
>>739856335
We already understand that Eren didn't make the moral choice and even Eren understood that. However, it was still executed poorly. The option was still in the morally gray area because after all, the Eldian just want to protect themselves, their family, and their future and only the rumbling seems to be the absolute solution. Basically all relevant character just kinds agree with Armin right away and go with the flow and mobilize against Eren. The only real character who was against it is Floch, and minor character, yet he shined because of it. The story became a one man show for Armin and other characters don't feel like they have agency, feelings, and histories in the final arc. Hanges' death really exemplified this by just having some vague flashback to the scout regiment and literally went "it's what Levi would have wanted". Like how does the scout regiment and Levi's will even relevant to the current conflict???

>>739857802
The Titans up until that point were working with Marley's government to try and find a solution to the issue of people being able to turn into Titans. The problem was that Marley's government's option was just kill them all while using Titans on their side to do so which is why they were trying to advance their weaponry as fast as possible since they were paranoid about an attack from the Paradis Titans. The Titans' option was magical eugenics that would remove the ability for people to ever become Titans, but it required the Attack Titan and I think Historia's permission to do so and I forgot if there was another stipulation as to why Eren didn't like that.

The humans are presented as being gung-ho, paranoid, and hypocrites while the Eldians are presented as people who don't even know why they've got an entire government thinking of ways to kill them and didn't even know there was a world outside of their island due to all the Titans that would kill them if they left their walls.

It wasn't until Eren realized how the people of Marley weren't acting in good faith due to the weapon advancements, sending Titans to Paradis, and his own selfish wants that he decided to press the genocide button.

Ok but I, as a human, only care about non-humans in as much as they do not interfere with humans or can benefit us.
The Eldians sound like an existential threat waiting to happen, which was proven, to which their was no real solution than to destroy them.
So as a human, why wouldn't I celebrate a story where those who try and kill humanity for their own ends are stopped and eventually destroyed, why would I consider that bad?
If anything the point where the story telling turned sour should be considered the point where it was revealed that the main cast were all titans.

>The Eldians sound like an existential threat waiting to happen, which was proven, to which their was no real solution than to destroy them.
The thing was they were fine with them for several hundred years with zero issues. It wasn't until they started sending in their spec ops Titans and trying to infiltrate Paradis from within that everything started going topsy-turvy. The people weren't even initially paranoid because of the Titan powers, the politicians just used that to rally people from what I recall which is why Monkey Trouble, Armin, and the rest of the group arrived to try and act as a bridge between the two groups.
>So as a human, why wouldn't I celebrate a story where those who try and kill humanity for their own ends are stopped and eventually destroyed, why would I consider that bad?
Because the story is presented from their viewpoint, not Marley's. It's been several years since I read it but from what I remember the loredump surrounding the whole situation hundreds of years ago was that the Marley king was super jealous of the Titan powers which is why he wanted it for himself but instead the Eldians chose to exile themselves to Paradis and their king was pissed off ever since so they kept having constant wars over territory in Marley while the Eldians lived inside their walls.

They agree right away because they didn't have time to waffle. Either they committed to stopping the worst case of mass murder the world had ever seen, or let it happen. Those are the only choices, no in-between, and you get on the plane/boat now or you don't reach Eren in time.

That's not how that works. Finishing the Rumbling ends life on Earth. Ecology is delicate, and they would have literally steamrolled vast swathes of the Earth.
>This doesn't change the fact that he killed all of those people for nothing and his entire homeland is now depopulated because of his actions.
Apparently it did, because, again, the final reckoning for Paradis didn't come for many, many years after the events of the series. It's not that they didn't effect the Paradis' ultimate end, but it's likely more complex than how you're putting it. There had to have been other chances that the future Eldians squandered.

The most ironic part of these arguments is the people who don't realize that the Rumbling is just a fantasy version of The Samson Option. Isayama is wrestling via allegory a very real and dangerous and potentially tragic dynamic and coming out of it with a several roadmaps for preventing catastrophe, if anyone would listen.

>Except they didn't.
Because they just had the vast majority of their technological capabilities sent back to the stone age and only a handful of locations were even left standing. Then they immediately went to work on finishing said project because of how quickly the turnover was to fire them again.
>Finishing the Rumbling ends life on Earth. Ecology is delicate, and they would have literally steamrolled vast swathes of the Earth.
It ends land life on Marley, not Paradis. It also completely ignores seeds that fell to the ground and simply got compressed, birds in the sky, worms, fish, anything that latches onto these, and so on. Would it have harmed the ecology? Absolutely, but Paradis itself still has a lot of the basics to keep life going in the long term. It still has horses, wolves, squirrels, and I'm sure many other basic animals that could be sent there over time.
>Apparently it did, because, again, the final reckoning for Paradis didn't come for many, many years after the events of the series.
The bare minimum was something like 13 years after the fact which would be when every original person living on the island would die from being Titans and only their descendants would be living on it.
>There had to have been other chances that the future Eldians squandered.
Based on what merit? Because Armin and Mikasa wanted to be civil? Because their group stopped Eren, someone who is their own? Something like 70% or 80% of the entire planet's humans had just been wiped out in an instant and they were already deeply against the Eldians up until that point. The Marleyans had already heavily invested into R&D into tanks and fighter jets to specifically counter Titans while they were working with Monkey Trouble. There is no reason to believe this was a Nazi Germany situation where everyone worked to let bygones be bygones especially when those situations are not even a twinkle in the eye of how bad of a situation the Rumbling was.

You now realize that manga is a pump content mediun. You serialize and pump cotent, the more popular it is, thevmore you need to pumo, this create extremely bad plot cohesion and most of the time artist simply go with the flow, and then the ending feels rushed or imcomolete mostly becausr the author lost interest, publisher axed him/her or simply the author die (more common than you think in Japan). That's the reason why novels are the superior medium, you have enough time to make a good story with a proper ending and plot, if it has traction you can keep going or let it rest. Sadly, light novels and web novels turned novels into manga, having now the same pumping content like manga does. Volume is not bad, pulp fiction was a thing and it was weekly, but those writers were something else, most of them chronic alcoholic and drug addicts.

If the only way to stop your kind from being killed by them then it's not fundamentally wrong. The ending proved this. Eren didn't kill enough to prevent it, the island was still bombed and invaded later. It is impossible to coexist, they will always try to genocide you, therefore preemptive genocide is completely morally justifiable. You have no moral obligation to choose death for your entire people just because the people that won't stop until you are dead outnumber you.

In fanbase meltdown? Attack on Titan for sure.

Homelander's death was hyper safe and really boring, but everyone knew he was going to lose his powers and act like the crybaby he always was in his last moments.
Eren's death was character assassination. He did a complete 180 at the last minute because Isayama wrote himself into a corner.

The creators in both cases just wanted it to be over and dropped the ball, but AoT was worse in missed potential.
The Boys had a noticeable drop in quality as early as Season 3, so I don't think people had as high expectations going into the last season.

No one actually cared about Homelander. It was all just a handful of /pol/ fags who never watched the show and self inserted as Homelander when watching a few Youtube clips trying to force a meme.
Meanwhile, people actually cared about Eren and AoT.

>Main plot basically ends with Kenshiro leaving with Yuria to peacefully live out the rest of his days
>Years pass
>Yuria died cause of radiation disease, Kenshiro is a broken man now
>Shit happens, Raoh's horse shows up, someone dies, Kenshiro decides to fight again
>Bat and what's her name are also around doing shit
>Eventually meet a new cast of people gives the impression that they'll be the new supporting characters
>One of the new people literally dies to I shit you not, some mook with no name on battle island across the ocean
>Raoh had a kid apparently
>Kenshiro fights the evil side of his martial arts or some shit

You mean like a hundred years or more, for probably entirely unrelated reasons?

As far as I recall wasn't it not specified at all? The only thing we have to see a passage of time is the tree, and Mikasa's scarf is on it. Since she'll live a human life that could mean up to 80ish years or as little as 13 since everyone but her would theoretically be dead.

The money never came back the way it did in 2019
50% of Marvel movies and 90% of DC movies just outright flop now, that was unimaginable a decade ago

If another force has such overwhelming military superiority to you that it poses an existential threat, but has thus far not demonstrated any willingness or desire to use force against you, it is outrageously stupid to treat them belligerently, especially if what you want to do is eliminate them entirely. Imagine if the Amish identified (correctly) that the overwhelming superiority of the U.S. military meant that the U.S.A. could, at any point it wanted, crush the Amish and their way of life. Is the correct course of action for the Amish here to launch a preliminary strike against the Pentagon?

Why can't we can't have villain humiliation anymore? Not my fault that you self-inserted with the obviously evil, mentally ill psychopath.

honestly and this is not me trying to defend the asspull because that ending was really shit, but after everything that happened during the original story the king never bothered to either punish ryuk or make some rules to avoid something like that to ever happen again, and its not like he wasn't aware, its right hand was pretty much following the story very close by and even knew ryuk stole a death note.
