What went wrong?

everything

Everyone turning into a titan.
Bullshit NWO/Big Brother government plot.

It became too popular

Utgarde arc > Annie arc > Wall Maria arc > current arc/basement retaking arc > shit > government coup arc

It was always really bad

The manga was shit and I dropped it before the anime was even announced

I guess he is sort of right in the way that the authors said hes going to change the ending because he was scared of the potential backlash.

But this being /a/, it was to be contrarian.

They made Eren a Titan.

The manga was insanely fucking hype. It was actually tense at first and people were dying, and shit was grim and real. Then he became special anime shounen snowflake faggot #1243290843 and it all went to shit.

For a brief moment I thought Eren was actually fucking dead and that Armin was the new MC and that the mangaka had huge fucking balls. His art was pure shit, so I figured he was famous just for being so out of the box.

How wrong I was.

That's a lesson to learn. Even if you build a wall, sooner or later the mexicans will grow tall enough to pass anyways

The focus on Titan shifters alone didn't kill it.

The problem was the plot just zigzagged between NOTHING FUCKING HAPPENING and when something big actually did happen it felt really dumb. Reiner and Bert's reveal about their nature was so sloppily handled it reads like a farce.
