You know what's really sad about this ending, the fact that Eren really didn't get a happy ever after. I mean, ofc, it's debatable that he can be happy knowing that his friends and those on the island can survive and thrive in society now.
In tokyo ghoul, Kaneki went through all kinds of shit and got a happy ending, more or less. Naruto too. Naturally, that's what we want for the favored mc. But Eren sacrificed his happy ending, gave up the chance to live out the rest of his short life with Mikasa and Armin and everyone else peacefully until eventually war would break out. He gave up everything, became the hated antagonist and committed great evils just so that no one would have bear the titan curse and be able to integrate into society.
That's what makes me really sad, not the fact that he died or anything, but the fact that even though he went through all kinds of hardships, the reality of life is that not everyone gets a great ending. Though one could say after all that he did, he got a pretty decent ending. He got to make ammends and say his goodbyes.
