I still do love Tokyo Ghoul, even after the weak second half of :re. Eto should have been part of goat, I agree. That way, she could have had the spotlight she deserves and make goat more interesting with her interactions with the other characters.

Kaneki being a kinda weak leader wasn't that much of a problem for me since he wasn't that cunning and perceptive to begin with. He is too much of a nice guy to be a able to lead such an organisation.

The villains were kinda weak, that's true. I mean Furuta was a great character at first but once he started leading the CCG he become just another ordinary cliche villain. V was a total letdown, too after all that buildup during the series. And in the end all of them just got beaten like it was nothing.

There are indeed a lot of characters who should have had a bigger role in :re instead of others. I am fine with Touka getting so much attention because she was the main heroine since the earliest of chapters but the Quinx and other CCG members shouldn't have gotten more screentime than the original cast. Tsukiyama, Yomo, Hinami, Nishiki, Amon, Akira, Ayato, Banjo, Eto, Kurona, Takizawa, Tatara... all of them just became some minor characters. And those are all characters with great personalities and much story potential. Instead we got the Quinx, the second Quinx group and some other boring CCG members over the course of the whole :re manga. Ishida totally neglected the characters that made the original TG great to begin with.

Well, my main problem with SNK is, that titans are hardly of any importance anymore. I started reading the manga because I loved the setting where some weak humans sacrificed their lives in order to survive against countless giant human devouring creatures. It was fun to see how every new titan-shifter totally changed the balance of the fights and how the humans adapted to them. Waiting for the big mystery behind the titans to be revealed was exciting, too.

Now the story turned to some historical war like scenario, where you can see humans shoot other humans with guns. The normal titans got wiped out completely and the titan shifters get rekt instantly every time they appear. The feeling of humanity desperately trying to survive against nearly unkillable monsters while seeking for the answers behind them has long been lost. Now we got politics instead

It's just not to my liking how SNK changed so much. There is hardly anything left from the original story, it could be a completely different manga now as well.

I'll keep those two in mind, my watchlist is already very long, though.
