Overall, though, much better chapter than most of the Marley arc itself, looks like we're building up for quite the explosive final conflict. Do you think Isayama is a terrible writer? I think he's done much better in the past than what we've been getting this arc. I've made no secret how much I loathe the Marley arc, it was the worst one yet; poorly written and a cheap attempt at Isayama trying to force us to empathize with what is essentially AoT's Nazi Germany. If he wanted us to empathize with the villains, he would have planted those seeds much earlier in the series. Doing it at this point, after showing the crimes Marley has committed against Paridis, it fruitless.

Barring the Warriors from before the time-skip (Reiner, Annie, etc.) the only one I like is Falco. Gabi I despise and want to suffer as gruesomely as possible. The others I am meh about. I'm probably one of the only ones who actually enjoyed watching Marleyans die, so needless to say, I'm a fan of Floch and would like to see Paradis resume its rightful place as the heroes of the story.

But yes, long story short, I think Isayama is slipping as far as his writing nice, but thats mostly the case with a lot of fiction that makes it as far as it has.
