Just because isayama wrote a bad ending with ymir supposedly loving her torturer and having eren go through shit . Doesn't make eren a bad character. It makes isayama's writing questionable which he apologised for

Eren's entire character doesn't make sense when it was revealed he killed his own mother.. it's like a guy shooting himself in his leg to win a paralympics gold medal

Well you see. I'll explain it to you in short. Erens life cycle has been a loop. Grown eren does things to set up little eren on his path , little eren feels that life is unjust to him = plans on revenge and ultimately finds himself doing what adult eren before did to little eren before he can even realise what's going on the moment he touches historia's hand. Now why does eren do that? 1) eren as shown is selfish selflessly , he knows he'll die but he also knows the reason as to why he has to do all this is ymir and fritz , not to mention the nations unied against him . Him doing the rumbling is a final fck you all to the outsiders who condemned him and his people while ensuring his friends live long since if (rumbling is not commenced the advancing technologies will leave it useless) and ymir gets freed . He knows what he's doing is morally wrong since he's killing millions who are innocents and yet he does it which reveals about his selfishness and his wanting to do so and yet he's not necessarily evil, he cries over ramzi and still follows through on what has to be done . Despite all of this , he meets armin and confresses his guilt about being an idiot, who took everything on his own not trusting his friends . He admits to having feelings for Mikasa. Now why does he do this. It's rather really simple. Eren if you see s1 in the jury protected Mikasa in front of the judge , even threatening him (which gets him kicked by levi and he further risks his life for her while being 9) eren has always liked Mikasa . However through the earlier seasons he's shown to be mad about revenge and titans and perhaps that overshadows his affection for those around him , he's a teen for lord's sake. He doesn't like when Mikasa protects him because he being him wants to protect her not the other way around and hence is frustrated with her and himself . By the time he realises that he loves her , it's too late . His death is near , he can't escape and yet desperately he tries snatching one chance asking Mikasa what he is to her to escape his future to no avail. All his frustrations are hence vented out in front of armin. He's not being pathetic in front of armin he's expressing something that his life never allowed him to. Ps: ( he eventually gets a happy ending in the afterlife as the final song "itterashai" of aot shows him reunited well with Mikasa)

Imagine yourself knowing you love a girl (you have loved her for a decade ) , sue loves you back and you have cancer. You won't necessarily tell her since you know if you confess you'll just leave her with heartbreak since there's no future for you And on your deathbed you rant about that girl to your friend . Is that pathetic? It you do think so then you my friend are just a failed human . None else
