So you hate Attack on Titan because of that one chapter of that one arc? Is this the part where you make a YouTube video about Attack on Titan and why it sucks? All because the author went in a storytelling direction of no return?

Hey I've put up with a lot of complete nonsense from this story, this is simply the breaking point and the one crossed line I was never willing to forgive. Like why? I'm more than just indignant about it.
The emotional exploitation continues, and continues to be mistaken for something poignant when no, it's just another knife to the soul. Or in this case, a bullet to the chest. And it ain't about to let up. The one swerve the story did NOT need. Some compensation for four years wasted on this would be appreciated.

Look not every writer is going to be perfect, it's like a rarity here & there that a author makes a story on the level of JKK Tolkien or GRR Martin or even a Yoshihiro Togashi that makes a great story from head to toe. But writers write what they want to write, obviously not every written piece of work is going to be great automatically, some may end up either really bad, but some end up good but not without putting up some effort into it. Hajime Isayama is not a great writer and he wasn't even a good mangaka at the beginning but he grew & learn some experience on the way, if he does make a new manga he may do the story a bit better.

Hello, Fern.
So when is it time to move on to the next manga? Because man, this one's terrible. While they've been heaping adoration upon the mains, be they the villains or the heroes, including ones who do not deserve it (Gabi Braun), the supporting cast which more than deserves better treatment and is almost as compelling is treated like such crap throughout, and I'm sorry this is how they found their beginnings with this manga. And a writer who can't give two of his mains (Annie and Ymir) any purpose to serve over such a staggering length of the series........I prefer something more character-driven, not death-driven. At this point whatever payoff there is is gonna ring pretty hollow.
I certainly think the insult of 105 is dragging itself out too aggressively and it brings up the insult of previous such instances in the series.
You can probably tell I'm no Game of Thrones fan.
Well there is some series that does the good vs evil thing better but this series as well as others are more on the grey area than black and white but I get it.
Well it's throwing me for a loop and without spoiling anything, I'm right back to asking myself "What the hell is going on?" in this story. I can't stand how it's been executed, it's more frustrating than it is fascinating at this point. I get the emphasis on grey morality, but this is taken to such an extreme here that I cannot enjoy this grey morality tale. Especially not after recent events. I'm still not convinced whatever ending we get will be worth it. It's not exactly up there with Breaking Bad, which also was pretty grey, was it not?
You ever heard of the trope Eight Deadly Words? Post-105, that's my attitude towards this.

Didn't know you watch Breaking Bad? Well never heard of that trope though. What are the "eight deadly words"? You got that from TV Tropes?

Not much, but I know enough. I plan on watching the whole thing later. There's a grey morality tale that clearly did something right.
Yes I did. I cared a lot about the characters and really wanted to see more of my favorites come out on top. After 105, this trope is firmly in effect. What it boils down to is this:
"I don't care what happens to these people".
I think this series still cares about it's characters. And if anything else even if you think this is train wreck already, I am sticking through to the end to see how it all resolved. It might be the resolution you may least expect it to be.
Beware of the TV Tropes because it's has great knowledge but also a cesspool of just never ending tropes and meanings.

That's not what I take from it. Isayama never gave a damn about Sasha, he couldn't resist his earlier attempt to axe her, he just delayed it and reduced her to nothing but a plot device to motivate the currently most hated character from the Marley side of the story. He gives nothing to the others either. It's just about death, there's no time for anyone who isn't a Warrior, Shifter or an Ackerman. There's virtually no balance. And while he continues branching things off into fifteen new directions, he's abandoning others completely, Ymir being a perfect example. And I'm sure there's others I'm failing to mention. And as I've said before, the actual Titan killing took a back seat very early to the war against the Homelanders. I hate a story where the characters just don't have any value other than being death cards.
And what kind of resolution should I expect? Unless you're talking about some sort of resurrection, I am betting you it is just gonna be exactly what most of us expect it to be. Depressing, bloody, and almost no one of the core cast left standing, win or lose. Who wants that?
I couldn't find a trope that more accurately described my feelings after reading Crapter 105, so that's the one I'm content to cite here. Sorry.
