Thanks...
that is interesting, and I get your point...I didn't think much about that when I first watched it (as I was sucked more into the story and the massive world building than the real world allegories, though I admit that the Jewish concentration camp's allegory was way too obvious.

like @DarthSkywalker mentioned, the ending that showed the Yaeger extremist took control of Paradise and eventually became a fascist nation was indeed not good. But I let it slide as I'm more inclined to be more focus on how the main characters' arc ended, and overall I am quite satisfied with each of their respective arcs had concluded. The ending with Mikasa, especially... imo was beautiful but sad at the same time.

But thinking it again...not to defend the author but I think Isayama-shi didn't intent to say that he is a pro-military coup or pro-fascist by any means, I think he's just inspired by what was transpired in real history... if Paradise was indeed viewed or subtly depicted as WW2 Japan, as the real history showed that a military coup was indeed happening during the war time (led by General Tojo) that eventually led Japan into a devastating result at the end (same with Paradise's fate). with that said, so I think Isayama-shi had no other intent besides he only wanted to say that that paving a path towards fascist way and wagging war with other nations, always comes with heavy and devastating price in the end.

But I get why you're thinking that way, fair points on all front.
That is why the ending is such divisive.
I get you on author's intent. But for me, intent has to be matched with knowledge and execution. And it's a story that it's own author doesn't seem to understand.
 
I am a fan of Matalas, but man, working for Marvel is such a waste of his talents.
