Primarily about eren, armin, mikasa, ymir, the final scene, and general themes in the story This is very long so i provided headings for my key points and a tl;dr at the end I highly implore you to read the whole thing though. I wanted to share my perspective on eren’s motives and why i believe the ending of the series is the way it is Unfortunately, this is going to be a rather long retrospective, with a word count in the thousands, so i hope you will be patient and keep an open mind I’ve approached this from a psychological perspective, as that's what i've studied
I use some psychology terms i am familiar. Eren was the one who forced grisha to kill despite all the crazy stuff that grisha has been through The average person in that world isn't any more ruthless than the ones in this world, eren himself is just brutal Grisha was shocked that eren killed those guys as well It wasn't normal actions even from grisha'a perspective. Eren would just probably harden the area around his nape and utilize the warhammer's abilities, levi would have to be careful just to evade him, let alone cause serious damage.
This influence led to the death of his mother, carla While nature of this twist was largely disliked or deemed inconsequential by a significant percentage of both ending defenders and ending haters, i feel that the. Eren’s genocidal rumbling was ultimately the most surefire way to keep paradis safe for as long as possible, while simultaneously creating a scenario where his friends would have the chance to no longer be viewed as devils by the rest of humanity and instead be considered heroes. Eren cannot see the whole future The notion that the attack titan can see the future is somewhat misleading and insufficient in explaining the full scope of what it can actually do The misunderstanding mostly comes from the way grisha explains it.
He was what he hated the most, a slave A slave to the idea of freedom, when in the end, ymir used his (+mikasas) existance to set herself free and end the curse, at least until the cycle starts again It's important to remember that eren's actions came from his own humanity The same humanity that leads itself into conflict, and destroys civilizations I'm really glad that my first time experiencing the ending was via the anime. There's lots eren doesn't know post time skip, zeke points this out in paths
But after he frees ymir and takes the founder, he definitely knows everything everything Prior to that, he only had flashes that grisha received from (founder) eren
