What makes Eldia so much greater than Marley? Have you forgotten that for over 1900 years Eldia has been a super power that oppressed and murdered off several different nations? What makes Eren better than Reiner and Bertolt? This whole MURDER BAD mindset you have in your head is really ignorant for the type of series this is. Did Reiner and Bertolt chose to breach Wall Maria? No. They were forced by Marley and fed lies as children. They did what they had to do in order to protect themselves and their families, believing they would be set free if their mission was complete. Eren CHOSE to massacre several thousands of civilians and you don't see anyone talking about that now do you? Make no mistake, I am NOT defending King Fritz in the slightest, that dude was a sicko and needed to be stopped. But as you said, that was over 1900 years ago...as in NOT involving the protagonists in the 104th at all. They never enslaved Marley. They never conquered the world with Titans. Hell, until a few in-universe years ago, they didn't even know humanity existed outside the Walls, let alone that they were part of a persecuted race. The Warriors, however, knew the truth. That there were humans inside the Walls. They still chose to kill hundreds of thousands of innocent people, and no tragic sob story is gonna empathize them enough to just waltz away with a slap on the wrist.
