What AoT S1-S3 did was keep you on the edge of your seat. It was very unpredictable and you had no idea what way the show was going to go. And the S4 was on a whole new level: the entire conflict was morally ambiguous and left you torn. Each side had its grievances and reasons for you to root for them. You desperately wanted there to be a good ending, but knew it couldn't be possible. You learn that there are two sides to every story no matter how distorted and evil the other side looks. They are just as human as you are and have their own reasons. That level of writing was simply fucking amazing, almost as if it were approaching something written by Dostoevsky.
Now I when I watch new TV shows, they all feel the same to me. We have a generic bad guy who is evil for the sake of being evil. Then you have a protagonist on the good guy's side. The protagonist whips some ex machnias out of his ass to defeat the bad guys. Every fight just looks the same. Just take a look at Isekai slop or Black Clover: there is no originality or depth, and it's all just a bunch of slop.
The closest thing I found to AoT was Kingdom and Demon Slayer.
