Attack on Titan and The Promised Neverland are both examples of stories that had an awesome premise but went off the rails after their big moment.

For Attack on Titan, I only ever watched the anime. I don't know if the manga was any better. But I feel like once we got past the big reveal at the end of the third season, it was just like "okay what now?". And then it was like Final Season, Final Season Part 1, Final Season For Realsies This Time... like they had no sense of direction.

With The Promised Neverland, I'm only talking about the manga. They screwed up the anime, the less said about that, the better. So the manga had this awesome premise of the kids having to escape the orphanage. But after that? It just got weird. Some of it was good (Goldy Pond, and Lewis/Luvis/whatever... the main demon singer from KPop Demon Hunters (of the Saja Boys, I mean) reminds me of him) but some of it was just weird.

I believe the multiple AoT final seasons was a product of covid, and that probably messed up the final product alot.
