You should be aware that this is not supposed to be a faithful adaptation, as no movie is. It's just supposed to capture the essence and some of the basic aspects of the original. But is inevitable that we'll have a lot of discussions from angered fans because "Where is Levi?!", "Armin doesn't have black hair!", "Eren and Mikasa are not a couple!", "There shouldn't be high technology!", "Where is the Coordinate, the First King and the Wall Titans?", etc, etc. This is the typical discussion between comics fans everytime a comic is adapted to the big screen, for example.

Every since the cast posters were revealed and I saw the changes I accepted that this is not going to be Attack on Titan, but a story based on it, or maybe just loosely inspired. And it is ok for me, this is what happens in the world of cinema. Isayama himself accepted that too and gave the productors freewill to do what they wanted. As long as the movie is good in the aspects in which is supposed to be (a coherent story, decent special effects, well developed characters, etc), I have no much problem with it.
