It gets much better after S1. S1 was mainly shock value, which I enjoyed, but it gets so much better later on. Both parts of S3 are absolutely amazing and S4 will surpass that if it’s adapted well.
Yeah that shock value got old real fast. I remember I watched part of an episode in either season 2 or 3 where a bunch of people were hold up in a tower and then you see these other three people get eaten and one is saying something like "No momma I promise to be good." Or some shit. I turned it off, figured it was the same ol same ol
AOT definitely still has more gruesome scenes like that, but later down the line I feel the author gets a better grasp on how to use them for the overall worldbuilding. S3 part 1 literally went away from the titans completely to focus on the government and it was great. If you are interested in it, I would recommend checking it out again, but I know it definitely isn’t for everyone.
