I'm not trying to break the rules here, I'm just increasingly disappointed in the direction the series has taken and many of the decisions made by the author. Well what high expectations you were expecting? Probably something that doesn't try to cram its own morality down my throat like Naruto would do with every villain being redeemable. Some people say Marley onward is "masterpiece" but it's no different from the kind of anti-revenge philosophies we get from most Japanese media. At least the Titans aspect made the series more original, so I was more willing to overlook some of the occasionally cheesy lines because of just how gritty the action was. And the original narrative never seemed to imply "revenge is bad" or "Nazi's aren't evil, just misunderstood". To build up the Warriors as evil nazi killers only to turn around and imply that "they were right, Eldia was bad to try and protect itself"..that REALLY rubs me the wrong way.

I won't even mention my disappointment with the basement reveal and the genre/perspective shift of Marley arc, because I've already gone into that plenty of times, and nothing about it has changed. I mean if you look at it from the Japanese perspective, like how they were punished but not entirely apologetic about its war crimes towards China and Korea to which both are still bittersweet toward Japan. Thats was the reality of it.
