But Hange and Armin are both under the delusion that just talking to their enemies is going to end a war with a world that wants nothing more than to wipe Paradis out of existence, even before Eren's rampage in Liberio. Add the fact that she actively suppressed support for Eren and is against the people of her island despite their overwhelming support of having Eren lead them tells me she is unfit to lead. So yeah, little more respect for the Levi thing but overall haven't liked her in a long time.

-From a certain standpoint, many deaths in the series have all been cheap and lazy, particularly when some characters could have had much more use in the story. With Sasha specifically, she only died because Isayama didn't like her (his editor made him spare her, for which makes me glad the editors/powers-that-be have some control over what Isayama does with the story) and would rather focus on a 12 year old psycho war criminal that is literally just a copy and paste of the MC. Sasha aside, however, if a character death/story element causes enough people to literally drop the series, the author is doing something wrong (look no further than Levi fangirls ragequitting even after the leaked spoilers), because no matter how you want to tell your story, keeping your audience should be a writer's top priority.

-PATHS probably will have a role in the final battle, but if it does connect to Ymir being able to revive Titan shifters, why'd she pick Zeke over other candidates? Just cause overwhelming public support leans towards a person doesn't mean it is at all right to let that person run amuck. Eren has done absolutely no favors to gain the trust of anybody other than the mindless masses who've been spreading thoughtless propganda. This chapters kind of prooves why characters like Hange would be more than suspicious of him, never once did they get a sign that Eren's interests actually aligned with the interests of them and the island, as shown he had the completely potential to be on Zeke's plan to euthenize Eldians and nobody would've known if they just put blind faith in him.

The people who "drop" the series over a mere character death are the loud obnoxious minority. Hardly worth considering in the grand scheme of things. Why should you bend over backwards for them? They're the same people that would send you death threats just cause you didn't do exactly what they wanted you to do, because they feel entitled. Misguided fools.

As for you last point. Easy, Zeke is important and has a role to play. The end. Plus this is the first time we've ever seen a shifter die to a cause other than that of another shifter.
