Time to tick off the predictable character beats

[x] Major cast comes together in order to stop Eren
[ ] Mikasa and Eren have a final emotional moment
[ ] Armin finally does something useful with his powers
[ ] Reiner finds some sort of redemption
[ ] Gabi learns the greatest lesson of Not Everyone is Bad (This one is kind of done already?)
[ ] Zeke realizes mass impotency magic was perhaps going too far
[ ] Levi does something extremely badass despite being crippled

What else am I missing?

I can only assume the soundtrack for the final season is going to be :krad: as hell.

He also got huge back when Marley tried to crash up on Paradis's shores. I think when Yelena turned on everyone? He thought it was fun then at least. :smith: Less so at Marley. No one was having a good time there

I may be forgetting details, but I think that Titans do not have buttholes, thus rendering such an idea moot.

Correct. Titan's have no actual digestive system. Their stomach is basically just a sac filled with slime and the people they eat. When their stomachs get full, they vomit up the corpses.

What if Eren used the Attack Titan to go back in time and ensure the titans wouldn't have buttholes Armin could use to explode him from the inside out.

Also even if he can't fight (yet), I'm glad Levi's around to complain people are being too noisy. :3:

Whelp, there's the "Truth Is In The Middle, We're All Bad" into "Hey, we're not so different, so yeah lets work together!"-beat so this is all tracking more or less how I expected. Equating things that happened in the distant past generations ago to the very current genocide on the island, and also to the lashing out against those genociding by those being actively genocided. Totally the same thing.

I still dearly hope this doesn't end with "Now that we've stopped Eren, we're friends, so lets call it a draw on the whole genocide thing and let bygones be bygones. Also our (Marleyan) culpability will never be brought up going forwards." but wow if it doesn't feel like that's where it's going. Who knows, maybe it'll swerve from a facile ending like that. That'd be nice.

I feel like Hange torpedo'd the "and then everything was okay forever" ending by acknowleding that stopping Eren buys Paradis maybe a few years of peace before the world exterminates them. Same thing with Annie pointing out that talking Eren down is not going to happen if he was willing to commit genocide in the first place.

I see it as a possibility, that's all, one I really hope doesn't happen. Mostly because I have a hard time believing this manga will end on an open-ended "but the world refused to change" beat. The shift since the Marley collaborators/camp-kapos got PoV status seems like set up for it to me. :shrug: If I'm wrong on this, great, like really really great. I'll be 100% on board for anything but that.
