I can deal with Zeke and Reiner ~blasting off agaaaiiin~ but I can't get over Levi's lapse in objectivity. It's OOC, even given his rage kill from No Regrets. Once it started devolving into a game of who deserves the injection because *dreams* I was about ready to check out. Honestly, I had been SO convinced that either of the following would happen: 1. Erwin would show up to the rooftop still conscious, just after Armin received the injection. He would be fatally injured, but not so badly that he couldn't at least make it to the basement, carried on someone's back/horse. Or... 2. Erwin would be fatally injured, still conscious, and use his dying breath to protest Levi's decision and convince him to save Armin. (He had already put Armin in charge on a few occasions and was likely aware that Armin was always a step ahead, even compared to him.)  Ugh I just don't buy Levi going back on his word and letting his emotions cloud his judgment when he literally just chastised Eren and Mikasa for doing the same. And it didn't even need to happen that way for Armin to be chosen! Like I said there were other ways for that to play out! But a mercy kill? Since when does that come before the collective fate of humanity, at least when it comes to the Scouts' decision making?

Last but not least what in the hell has been going on with the pacing and general awkwardness lately?

(Just wanna make it clear that I'm thrilled Armin was saved but still sad that we lost Erwin. God help the few scouts that are going back home without the commander...or the rest of the new recruits. If they weren't a popular regiment in the past they're really in the shitter now.) Finally someone who gets it!! Wanna add some points tho: Im still upset about Levi's choice. That whole "freeing him from his obsession and shackles" phrase just discredits his sacrifices and dreams/goals. He had one weak moment when he sat down with levi before charging to the beast titan but that's the most human reaction when being cornered. Oh and the saying that" Levi didn't want erwin become a demon" is such an misinterpretation because Floch referred to Levi as the demon and Erwin as the one who has control over him thus being more valuable than Armin. What cracked Levi and led to his choice was his memory of eavesdropping Armin when he talked with sparkling eyes about the sea and that's what disappoints me the most about the credibility in Levi's character. I mean come on, he finally gets the choice to actually save a loved one and now suddenly he becomes all selfless and wants to commit the same selfless deed as his uncle did?
