BUT, I could see Reiner doing something to jeopardize the operation. He's in way too deep to be able to switch sides, but I can see him doing something sacrificial to atone for his sins (in his mind). I find this to be the most likely path for him. Reiner is neck deep in his mission and after all the fighting he has done - as much against himself as the Paradis Eldians - I don't see him just switching sides and fighting against Marley. Especially since Marley will be doing the job with the hands of its own Eldians and they are, after all, Reiner's people, his countrymen, his kin etc. He would have to fight against them. Further more, I can't see him being trusted by anyone on Paradis anymore and I'm sure he doesn't consider that as an option either.

However, all this conflict he has, and the fact that his time is running out and he will have to give his burden to the next generation somewhat soon, still makes me think that he will do something against Marley. Some last minute act of betrayal, inaction where the fate of the conflict depended on him or something like that seems very likely.

You know what will be interesting? Him going back to Paradis and becoming aware that it's ruled by Historia/Krista. And I know he is aware that it's Eren who has the power of the Founding Titan, but it also can't be fully realized if it's not possessed by someone of Royal blood, which means if Marley loses Zieg - and we have two Ackermanns to deal with him - it will be trying to get both Historia and Eren, and I'd like to know what Reiner does when/if it comes to that.
