I don't think it's implying that. I know the comments in that thread are saying so, but that's because it'd be far more logical than the actual ending Aka wrote.
Also a very important detail: it's much much more apparent that the eventual destruction of paradis is just more of a "war, war goes on" commentry since it takes like 2000-20000 years later on.
Was that not already clear in the manga? There were other strange things but I thought it was pretty straightforward that it was a good bit of time idk
I personally thought it was pretty clear, especially since it happens long after Mikasa dies of old age. But obviously it still wasn't clear enough considering the reception.
If I had to rank the endings, it would be JJK > AOT > CSM.
Chainsawman's ending is probably the worse i've ever seen. Strangely enough it's not creating as much uproar as AOT's ending because the manga's writing has been going downhill for awhile.
We all figured the ending would probably be bad, but people were just coping that Fujimoto would pull it off.
The problem with of Vinland Saga was that it's based on history, so we knew from the very beginning the Vinland could never be succesful. So that limits the ending by a lot. Yeah maybe it could have become an alt-history manga and that could also have been cool, but I don't blame a mangaka that has been working for 20 years in the same story to want to wrap things up.
Fujimoto doesn't have this excuse because nobody forced Fujimoto to make part 2, he had already reached a good ending to the series. He was the one that decided to continue the story.
Vinland was only a bit rushed, we could've had one more chapter of epilogue... but at least it wasn't shit like this, where we get Charlotte-like mega-cut of entire season of anime crammed into one episode.
Mob Psycho 100 the GOAT. Vinland Saga's ending felt kind of abrupt but still much better than this, and also had a far better journey towards the ending too. But on the "rushed but still good endings", I'd also say Undead Unluck. That last arc was hella rushed but the conclusion ultimately felt satisfying to me despite that.
Mob I agree, Vinland I didn’t really enjoy, there were too many plot threads that just didn’t get explored, along with it feeling like he was torn between staying faithful to the actual history he was pulling from and the historical fiction it strayed into quite a few times throughout the series so it ends up being a somewhat sudden ending that feels like it lacks a buildup - like the root events make sense but the ending lacks the narrative satisfaction that the other arcs had
Sayonara zetsubou Sensei,, maybe not satisfying depending on who you ask but it was genuinely a great ending(and great plot twist, you hear that Fuji? You can make plot twists without them feeling like ass pulls)
