Most of those parallels have been fully elaborated on. And I don't see them serving purpose if most of the ones named are deliberate. Instead of trying to find the alleged "cleverness" of a story that borders on incomprehensible, I'd just like to know what the state of affairs is now and where this is going.

The Grim Reminder, it means nothing. Simply a case of what goes around comes around, karma. Eren's the only monster when it comes to the Paradis Eldians because he's now killing innocents without a second thought to achieve his goals, what he did will not change the Marley minds at all about them or make them see the irony of it all. They're too ingrained in their prejudices and fears of the island. For them it's simply a fresh excuse to resume their campaign. For Paradis it's always been self-defense for survival's sake unless you're the murderer Eren Yeager. There's nothing poetic in any of this, Paradis is the victim, victims of Marleyan war crimes and the sins of their long dead ancestors. Marley is the villain. That's it.
