@proxevo "infamous manga ending"
I agree with the most of what you said, I'm just a bit confused how is that compromised ending?
Did you not considered extra pages as an ending before?
The only new addition, as far as I can think of, was in dialogue between Armin and Eren (and scenery changes for Levi and the company).
@proxevo "the "questionable" plot twist into the final season"
What do you mean?
I have seen the serie binge watch last time and I didn't notice something like you said.

The greatest anime series of a generation finally reaches its grand conclusion. 10 years of drama and controversies, especially among the fandom over the manga ending, it's truly been a ride.
This was solid, although there are still loose ends and lots of questions that remain unanswered. And all that other stuff: multiple delays, changing of animation studios before the final season even began, the "questionable" plot twist into the final season, and much more other controversial things that I best rather leave out for internet enthusiasts and adventurers to find out.
Now, for the ending. It was satisfying.Let me explain: Was it the perfect ending? No. Could it have been better? Yes. But then again, it could have gotten any worse than what it was already, from the source material. As another reviewer pointed out, it's more of a compromised ending, between the fans' expectations and the infamous manga ending.
This, honestly in my opinion, is a good example of "a show doesn't need always need a happy ending, just a perfect one"
