Beware of the TV Tropes because it's has great knowledge but also a cesspool of just never ending tropes and meanings. That's not what I take from it. Isayama never gave a damn about Sasha, he couldn't resist his earlier attempt to axe her, he just delayed it and reduced her to nothing but a plot device to motivate the currently most hated character from the Marley side of the story. He gives nothing to the others either. It's just about death, there's no time for anyone who isn't a Warrior, Shifter or an Ackerman. There's virtually no balance. And while he continues branching things off into fifteen new directions, he's abandoning others completely, Ymir being a perfect example. And I'm sure there's others I'm failing to mention. And as I've said before, the actual Titan killing took a back seat very early to the war against the Homelanders. I hate a story where the characters just don't have any value other than being death cards.

And what kind of resolution should I expect? Unless you're talking about some sort of resurrection, I am betting you it is just gonna be exactly what most of us expect it to be. Depressing, bloody, and almost no one of the core cast left standing, win or lose. Who wants that?

I couldn't find a trope that more accurately described my feelings after reading Crapter 105, so that's the one I'm content to cite here. Sorry.
