Because of this, some people, even to this day, think it will be a dark ending where practically no one lives.

He has since abandoned this mindset completely due to popularity and maybe even getting attached himself as well as just maturing all-around in general, and he now wants his story to have a better and more peaceful ending more similar to "Guardians Of The Galaxy". So what do I think, I think there will ultimately still be some degree of tragedy, death, and destruction as there always has been here and there, but that it won't be anything excessive or pointless.

Something Isayama likes to do if he's going to kill off a major character is give red flags and a lot of focus to that character, much like what he did with Erwin back then and what he seems to be doing with Reiner right now. I remember when he said he changed his mind about the "EVERYONE DIES!!" ending. I heard that the manga was not suppose to go on this long... I wonder what chapter or where did he want to end it originally.. I believe he said his original goal was 20 volumes.
