TV shows and animes have impacted our daily life in a really big way. And each has its absolute bests, while Game of Thrones has had some really high-rated episodes in the past as a TV show, Attack On Titan broke all records in terms of rating and viewership, especially with its penultimate season. Both of them have become major pop culture icons. Attack On Titan is in its final season now, and its storyline looks like a major throwback to Game of Thrones Season 8.

While the final season of Game of Thrones was met with a lot of criticism, Attack On Titan has managed to steer clear of that folly by carefully orchestrating the environment, mood, and enough of a backstory to make the transformation of a hero to villain somewhat more digestible. At the end of Attack on Titan’s 80th episode, “From You, 2,000 Years Ago,” and nine years since the show’s debut, the so-called savior Eren Yeager snaps and now plans to exterminate the vast majority of the human race by causing the great “rumbling”.

Sounds familiar, right? But unlike Game of Thrones, Attack On Titan goes into the past to explain why one of the show’s biggest heroes turned into one of the biggest villains. While we won’t spoil the story for you, we can tell you this for sure, it is equally as tragic as it is horrifying, and makes you sympathize with Eren Yeager, similar to how many fans do with Daenerys Targaryen (or would have if the show was more creative in sketching her downfall).
