No, I completely agree but at the same time, I hate to say it, but that ship has sailed a while ago for me. I mean, at the end of this "chapter" I was thinking to myself, "yeah, of course, the redshirts of 'squad levi' got exploded but looky look, the whole 'main cast' is still alive."

I hate to say it but in that way, especially since we have so much time between so little action to mull over it, the series has become sort of predictable in some ways and the only ways in which it isn't predictable is because Isayama hasn't told us all the rules yet. Really, I am bothered by these recent chapters because when Reiner's head got blown up, they should've gotten a hint from the fact that The Armored Titan wasn't dissolving. If I was Eren I would've yanked out Reiner's body without hesitation. In fact, their mistake was fleeing Reiner's body in the first place... I don't know... oh wait I got it....
