I wonder if this has to do with the long wait for this last episode, it just felt like it came out of nowhere as in I just happened to see every YT channel talking about and I just thought "wait I didn't know this was suppose to come out now". We just get thrown into it right where it left off

I just don't know what to think or feel over it, I do believe this was horribly mishandled which is leading to how I feel about the ending

There were a ton of trailers and AoT-adjacent videos coming out for this finale. I don't seek out AoT news and I still felt like I couldn't escape its release

A LONG DREAM

A torment of hell, an endless night, a meaningless existence...

Life is fill with horrors that freeze the soul, and yet even if the world is cruel it is still beautiful full of wonders.

Let us appreciate the small things in between, and let us neither dwell on the past nor worrying about the future.

But to be free to enjoy the present, the little things that bring joy into the life.

The boy who moved forward to seek the desired freedom was laid to rest by the girl who loved him and refused to throw away that memento that she got from the boy, in spite of the boy telling her to do so.

The tough decisions demand a toll from us, and if we are ready to pay the price then let us have the least regret.

As we march, walk, and run on the path of life the cycle of violence and killing won't come to a complete end, but it can be slowed down, at least, if we take things with eyes unclouded by hatred.

Everything that started comes back to the beginning in order to end, and a long dream it was for both Eren and Mikasa.

Good bye, Eren and see you soon.

TOWARD THE TREE ON THAT HILL

The journey has finished for the boy enslaved to freedom and so his torment ended. He left an uncertain future to chance so that may his friends, his home island, and the woman he finally admitted to love were to have long and fulfilling lives. Nevertheless, the cost of erasing the life outside the walls had no precedent, and he knew after trying and trying that the results came down to the bleak conclusion.

Spoiler:

Yet, Armin assured Eren he would take the role as savior of the surviving humanity to tell his and his comrades story to Humanity across the sea and Humanity in Paradis, and let it be known how mortal enemies eventually found common ground to work together towards survival.

As we noted and Historia knew well, conflict had never ended, but Eren slowed it down in order to level the field so that Paradis and the rest of the world would grow again from tragedy to a fair level.

One hell ended and there are no more titans, but the other hell always remained since the dawn of history, the hell of men killing each other.

Nonetheless, Armin and the Scout regiment made choice to step into that hell and to look forward to tell the entire world their story as Paradis and the Outside would be going once again into a deadly arms race.

This story started with birds soaring into the sky, and it poetically ended with a bird consoling a grieving Mikasa reminded of fond memories of the distant past when she and Eren enjoyed taking naps at the side of the leafy tree.
She dragged the regret, but poetically Eren inspired her from beyond the grave for her to move forward once again.

Seasons come and go, time flows and passes by, friends come to visit and pay respects to the grave of their departed friend, but time and nature remain unfixed and relentless.

At a blink of an eye, Mikasa has found a man and became a mother.

More time passed by, and she became an ailing grandmother mustering her last breath to visit his beloved Eren's grave.

Time is relentless, and Mikasa passes away, and the audience were left what would become of Paradis.

Time continues to move forward, and civilization in Paradis keeps fluorishing like a river bed unstoppable.

Time blinks in an eye, and Paradis has become in a distant future into an advance civilization, however....

Human nature never forgets and is relentless, as Paradis is laid to a scorching inferno and turned into rubble by the forces of the rest of the world. Eren's prediction was inevitable, because the cycle of hatred and violence never stopped. A saving grace was likely that Erens' friends, at least, lived long, fulfilling lives, and passed away years or decades before the apocalypse came raining down on Paradis so that they neither witnessed nor lived through that retribution.

Indeed, the living were jealous of the dead.

On forward to the distant future, that in spite of human's cycle of violence and hatred, nature moved forward and reclaimed the remnants of Paradis civilization.

In that distant future, a lone boy and his trusting dog wander off searching whatever they can scavenge at sight. Little do they know that the next moment they spot the humonguous, towering figure of the tree that once housed Erens' remains.

The boy stopped pondering his options, but, as Grisha Jäger once said, human imagination and curiosity cannot be stopped. So the boy following his gut chose to keep moving forward into the tree, as if he was being beckoned by forces beyond his comprehension, or, perhaps, he was being extended an invitation...

.... to marvel at what this Beautiful Cruel World has to offer.

THE END
