User blog comment:Neetaku/A (Better) Rewrite of Attack on Titan/@comment-30473998-20181009225701

Ahh. I like this reordering of events, considering that having everybody else die in Eren's Squad at Trost ticked me off when I found out about it. I also really like the addition of Dieter, too -- having someone outside of the main cast from the 104th join Squad Levi? That would be great. Sometimes, I too do not understand why and how Connie and Sasha made it in, regardless of how much I like the former (because he reminds me of myself). Especially if we could get knowledge of other classes and the dynamic inside of those.

Because it'll fit better here, I also want to address CommonSwift's comment on your blog post talking about Sasha and Connie's characters from a year ago: agreed. Perhaps we could have Connie realize again, after the coup or another major event, that he wants to and can help out the Survey Corps and does do so. An example of this would be "Connie goes back to his village, realizes that the Marleyans are there, spys on them, and reports it to the SC". (If it's the one thing I would do as an editor for AoT, it would be constantly suggestiong bringing old characters back unless they're dead.)

Since I've always dismissed Franz and Hannah as being "only lovey dovey" and "wrapped up in their own fantasy", having both of them make a return isn't something that I'd agree with. However, if there's a moment during the Battle of Trost, we realize that... you know, maybe they have other motives other than "I love ", which would expand upon their characters more.

To wrap this up, because I have lost my train of thought: good job, but I can't agree with Franz and Hannah.
