Review of Attack on Titan: Final Season - The Final Chapters

Like everyone else, I will use this review to express all my feelings about the entire anime. Firstly, I have never been a big fan of AoT, I always found it confusing how every season it seemingly felt like another show, again and again and again. Which was pretty spot on when season 4 started. So season 1 is pretty incredible, a solid foundation of an innovative and creative idea, a civilization surrounded by giant walls. Incredible fights, with incredible animation, with spot on music on the best moments. The problem is that all the promises the show had were piggybagged into the basement for 3straight seasons, 58 episodes with the basement being the promise thing to explain it all, the death of erwin and everything that happened up to that point all rested on the basement, and the only answer the basement gave was the following "You probably already know there is another civilization out there but yeah there is a civilization out there that think you are demnos, kinda makes sense because we can be converted into titans lol"

This is not what they told us directly, but it is what it felt like, atleast to me, so much time and when we are finally given the answer, we basically have already gotten it, and it was something that simple anyone could have guessed on season 1.

To me the show tried to do too many things, is it a show that prioritizes the attacks and defenses of certain wars, or why are we in the middle of their recruitment training, what are we even doing trying to rescue eren. Why are we having an internal conflict about the queen right after that? This is not really an attack on the logic of what happened, but the themes were confusing.

But oh well we got the pop off that was season 3 part 2, so right now, 60 episodes in and we got a couple of good fights in season 1 and season 3 part 2, why? Thats why I hated AoT, it felt like such slop.

Here comes season 4, and wow, it is cool, time skip so we are going to see a grown up eren more powerful than ever, armin must have gotten a lot smarter considering he already was on a young age, they must have improved a lot their technology, and we got a global conflict.

Lets see what they have planned
The plan: Nothing.

It turns out Eren just went by himself to do stuff, no one really know what was the point of it, was it so they would leave the paradise island alone, nope cause they came right after. Was it to make contact with zeke? Nop cause they already made contact, they could have simply parted ways without the war, they could have smuggled zeke out, or even activate the power at that moment.

So yeah season 4 didnt have a lot of merit, meanwhile we have to watch gabi like two thirds of the part 1.

When I saw S4 part 2 I wasnt that interested in it, but it surprised me positively, I really enjoyed episode 4, everything started to make sense, he had to manipulate everyone in certain ways to make sure to achieve his goal.

Lets see Eren true plan
The plan: Still nothing

I get his goal, I really do, destroy every advanced nation so no one can go after paradise island, but wouldnt that just make paradise island the next tirany country?

This review is way more random that I usually make them, I am just confused, it is a lot of content, and it is not that easily to digest, there are a lot of good things, on episode 4 S4 part 2 I really thought they would bring it home, but it just sucks, I am sorry, everything just sucks, all the promises, all the results, all the relationships, everything just sucks.

The morale of the story for mikasa is to never forget your first love? The morale for armin is that genocide is good? The morale for zeke is maybe I should have thought the plan more? What even is happening.
