Anime original ending is coming, the manga ending is deliberately terrible, the extra pages confirm

multiple timelines are confirmed to exist by word of god from the official website which lists the cabin timeline as the first (that we know of) and by including the high school spinoff in Eren's memory shards (which is shown much more explicitly in the anime)
anime has a different beginning flashback, Berserk Eren in the S1 finale says "I'll destroy the world" like 8 years before anybody heard the words "rumbling", in both the manga and anime they make constant references to someone not being able to change anything without being able to give up everything, extra pages confirm manga ending does not lead to the outcome Cuckren intended, Paradis is glassed, the Titan tree comes back
Isayama said he ripped off Muvluv alternative, a VN which consciously and explicitly retcons the previous series (Muvluv Unlimited) because the MC's memories of a previous bad end leak through to an alternative timeline
some of the biggest Japanese media series have multiple timelines. Evangelion has like 38 if you include everything, but all that's important are the anime, movies, and manga. They are all different. This was just happenstance for Eva though, a consequence of it's unprecedented popularity. However, Fate Stay/Night is probably the next most popular franchise that deliberately intends multiple timelines since it's inception (or at least inside it's initial development phase) with the Fate, UBW, and Heaven's Feel routes, not to mention everything else tacked on afterwards.
Attack on Titan, since Isayama had his first meeting with anime studios, has been deliberately building towards what Fate/Muvluv started with VNs, to achieve what Evangelion did accidentally. He started with his manga, when he got the meeting with anime studios he pitched this idea, Wit bought it, but got cold feet about depicting the Rumbling. Mappa has no such scruples, so Yams took it to them. Kodansha even gets to wash their hands of depicting a full rumble now too in case it's too controversial. It will all be on Yams and Mappa.
oh, and the staff of the anime have literally teased it more than once

The original titan shifter was like 100 feet tall and had super powers from an alien or extra dimensional creature they never explain what it is. It can access the memory of any ancestor living or not and influence them from any point in the timeline. When a shifter eats another shifter they combine. He ate so many of them he convinced the original shifter to give the MC infinite revenge power. He then used it to frick with the timeline so he wins no matter what even going as far as influencing his own father by pretending he was a skitzo hallucination of his father's imagination.

well, I'd say he convinced her with his genuine compassion for her predicament (eternal interdimensional slavery, basically), but yeah
I dunno if it's a "Just as planned" win no matter what thing, I think it's literally just an extension of his dilemma he had when Annie was attacking his squad (which I think is also played differently in the manga and anime).
He can either trust his comrades or trust himself. In the manga he trusts his friends. The extra pages make it explicitly clear that doing so leads to the destruction of his race and homeland.
In the anime, he will trust himself, and Eldians will inherit the Earth.

They are basically flesh mechs. The human is literally in the spinal area around the neck. That's why slashing the area kills them.

That makes no sense lol this series is WEIRD
Ever watch Parasyte the Maxim
That was weird but cool though the anime ended really abruptly, even had a montage ending that explained nothing, disappointing, I wonder if the manga has a better overall story progression

if I told you it would spoil the series biggest twist which is honestly among the best in it's genre
i can simply hint you by saying: why do the monsters look like big humans and hmm i wonder how big the world is
EDIT: Ignore what I said before, it doesn't really answer your question
basically: because big japanese (and many western) media franchises do that, they make money off it, le capitalism
in universe, the answer is: proximity to godly power, which is a typical cop out
narratively/thematically I think the point is to show the consequences of certain actions vs others vs non-action.
"You can't change anything without being able to risk everything"
"Being born into the world is enough reason to fight for your life and your freedom"
these two huge themes that were reinforced constantly throughout the story hit a brick wall in the manga ending.
Eren does not risk everything, and ultimately changes nothing. The people he fought for with his shared birthright end up wiped off the map despite his efforts, even the friends he refused to sacrifice for them. The Titan cycle also continues.
it is very weird to harp on themes so heavily just to have them stop dead with a subversive ending... unless that's the whole point.
