That's still an idiotic scene even if that's somewhat true. The entire sequence in that chapter needs bloody surgery, it's so beyond ineptly written. And unwarranted. And thanks for nothing while I'm at it Floch. I think Isayama was trying to underline the Corps overwhelming arrogance in that moment as they had just snagged a huge military victory against Marley and many of the individuals who participated in the battle were new recruits who probably joined in a patriotic fever after the succesful retaking of Wall Maria and didn't know any better when they started celebrating due to inexperience in the field, a feeling of invincibility as they had only lost 7 while Marley had lost thousands, and the fact that Marley didn't have any means of striking back as Porco and the Panzer Unit were disabled at this point + a lack of machinery like the 3DMG on Marley's side (Zeke would tell them this). I will agree with you on other points though I didn't love the death flags in that scene (Connie says something like "You guys are special" to Sasha and it felt manipulative like a countdown starting on the kill/cry now clock which is a problem I've encountered in many video games), the corps should have buddied Lobov up with at least two other soldiers as a sole sentry was a dumb move for a guy as smart as Jean, and it also was too convenient that Lobov's 3DMG was tied directly into the entrance of the blimp in a way that would allow a succesful boarding rather than another part of it. By killing Sasha. Was there not ANY other way to get the message across? Because that was the ONE thing we didn't need to see. And if I sound like I'm treating Sasha as a special case, I cannot help myself on that, sorry.
