Review of Attack on Titan: Final Season - The Final Chapters
Same as always: an unyielding desire of the author to say something very clever without any real capability behind it, resulting in an absolute mess followed up by "and now I will speak through the mouths of the characters so that you know what I, the author, actually wanted to tell you." First episode I wanted for most of the characters to shut their mouth up. Second episode I just wanted author to shut himself for just a split second and let the story flow on its own just for a mere moment, without turning everything into recital of his narration plan. Speaking of freedom, huh? Ijust hope H.I. shall get enough hype and praise from that single work, and everlasting spin-offs, and whatnot, thus they will not be producing anything to this world until necessary capabilities achieved.
Until they really have something to say instead of having a desire to say just something.
Core idea is good. Ending idea is good. Implementation is abysmal.
Thanks WIT for their best effort during S01-03. Thanks MAPPA for working their asses off during S04+.
You know, right after finishing this, I started questioning myself. I'm literally considering a Tokyo Ghoul rewatch just for the sake of checking whether the butchery called the Marvelous' adaptaion was worse or not. Wild times...
