To think that this is what Eren has become, what his desire for freedom and his rage have morphed him into, and to know he's ready to kill millions of people. I mean, Jesus Christ, what kind of protagonist has gone to this lengths?

I'm not ready to write him off just yet. He's already shown that he is very capable of compassion even towards people from outside nations. He's also shown hesitation and doubts about genocide even after the royal touch in chapter 90.

There's also that episode 25 filler scene where Eren, while fighting Annie, was acting very similar to what we see in him right now, but then he softened up at the last moment and couldn't even finish Annie off.

Plus, Grisha obviously believed in him again even after doubting him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have injected Eren and counted on him to control the power in order to save Armin and Mikasa and everyone else.

And if that final manga panel is any indicator, if that's him holding a baby, then the chances are he will probably be vindicated or at least redeemed in the end.
