Except I'm still trying to enjoy the series, it started out great, but the author isn't exactly throwing bones at us when it comes to chapters that are truly enjoyable without obvious flaws. It just really went downhill after the basement reveal, that was probably the most disappointing moment ever. I just...didn't like the whole concept of Marley and global politics and whatnot. Look I know I despise Gabi, but honestly, aside from Falco, none of the new Marley characters are what I would call crowning achievements, and I was actually quite pleased with what Eren did.

I'm a bit more old school with the whole concept of "eye for an eye", so when I read fiction I am a HUGE proponent of revenge and retaliation. I thought AoT would have been the embodiment of that, now it just seems like the same brand of "everyone is redeemable" soup that Naruto gave us. Even though we all know very well that NOT everyone is redeemable. Some characters are complicated and complex, some are just monsters. Well if you want a manga about revenge then read Revenge Classroom it might be your cup of tea or "wine". However be warned it may end up being the your next big bluster. I admit you are right the Marely characters are not exactly up to snuff compare to the cast we are used to on Paradis. I guess this is because they are the endgame villains of this series therefore may not be given much development. But I have hope they may be explained or explored a bit more in the future. But you not say the basement reveal was disappointing, that was the thing driving up the series and moving it forward. I thought it was very fitting & explained a lot of what it did. Do you think it could have been done better? You are trying to enjoy the series but it seems like you are struggling.
