Trailer Breakdown
The trailer shows multiple scenes of fights on the giant titan form of Eren, which indicates that the final part of the story is guaranteed to be animated. Team Save Humanity will fight off against the Titans which will take on appearances of the previous Titans that they had to face. All of this on Eren’s back, a whole new way of getting backstrokes. Ahem, back to the point.
We will get to see our favorite characters, Levi, Mikasa, and Armin, have their final showdown against the Titans. Falco will also make his appearance with his new-found titan powers. Although we did not see Gabi in the trailer, Gabi will make her appearance with Falco. This duo will be a tremendous aid against Eren. Our former villains, Reiner and Annie, will also be fighting against Eren’s summons.
Ymir has also made an appearance in the trailer, signifying that this is truly the end of the story.
Expectations
There are a lot of expectations for this upcoming movie. Mostly fans want it to be the last installment of the franchise and for the story to not be stretched any further. There are also hopes that the ending will be changed, considering the negative reception the manga ending received. The fans want an ending that does not make everything that has happened to this point meaningless. Spoilers ahead.
To have Eren die on Mikasa because she asked him to stop, is umm simply cliche? We all can agree that Eren’s motivation to protect his friends was stronger than that. Also, everyone expects the cast to be there together at the end, including Eren. However, not only does the original ending kill off Eren, but it also inherently changes how we see the other characters.
Reiner was heavily depressed and traumatized by his actions, to the point that he wanted to kill himself. After the war, he simply turned into a happy-go-lucky guy who fusses over Historia like a pervert. That is not how things turn out to be. The actions that he was a part of have been ingrained so deep in his mind that it is nigh impossible to forget them. A man of such vigor and depth will not turn into a fool who lives off sensual motivation.
Conclusion
All in all, the upcoming movie is a highly anticipated release by fans. This will make or break the entire franchise, and hopefully will be executed properly. Fans hope that the ending changes and the characters receive the just treatment they deserve.
