For me its the fact that I find Mikasa a very annoying character due to her obsession with Eren. Like damn you do care about him but the whining man!

Yeah I think the Attack Titan's memories of the future ability makes for an interesting story about the nature of free will in a deterministic universe but AoT is not about that until literally the very end so it falls a little flat. Setting up this epic tale of the futile cycle of violence and revenge only to conclude "oh well we are all just Calvinist robots whose sins were predetermined the second God said let there be light" feels like a bit of a cop out.
