Code geass executed it much better.
Tbf Lelouch was portrayed as a political/strategic genius, and Eren as a suicidal idiot, so it makes sense Lelouch’d pull it off better
It’s not about the characters pulling it off better but the story. Justifying all the plot holes by calling Eren an idiot doesn’t mean the plot holes weren’t there.
Best example of a pathetic breakdown from protagonist done well is actually the Death Note manga. They foreshadowed it from the get go and the story was fairly logical.
Yeah, fair enough. I personally am just happy that we got an ending that works and sticks to its themes. Could it have been better? Absolutely, but after Game of Thrones, I’m happy AoT was able to give us an ending that works as a bow tie. On the foreshadowing bit though, Eren was always shown to be prone to hatred and violence, so I dont feel like any of his decisions ever seemed out of character
Does it? Does the AoT ending work? It left massive gaps and stuff that made little sense.
It wrapped enough of the story threads up to be a complete story, and it made its statement on the cycle of war and hatred. Not all loose ends need to be tied up for a story to reach a satisfying conclusion
Let’s agree to disagree. I don’t think it’s a satisfying conclusion at all.
Fair enough!
