-Did I mention the increase in action and the step-away from the political mumbo jumbo that's just preachy as hell?

-Zeke's arrival. Eren actually looked relieved to see Zeke arrive and I have no doubt we will get Yeagerbros action/desolation next chapter. Of course, 90% is certain one will stab the other in the back once they activate the Rumbling.

-If Pieck getting her hand cut off and nearly dying before transforming isn't proof that Isayama will potentially kill somewhat decent characters (Pieck) just to keep garbage Mary Sues running around (Gabi), I don't know what is. Um people drop off the roof and transform all the time because Eren seem to have done it like at least half a dozen times. Do you even know what a Mary Sue is, because I keep hearing that a lot in other media in Movies & TV shows, frankly its overused.

-I guess Magath is somewhat less bad than the other Marleyans, but suddenly seeing him shown any kind of compassion for Eldians (namely Gabi) doesn't fit him. Actually, I should be saying mini-Marleyans because Liberio Eldians really aren't true Eldians. Liberio Eldians, Paradis Eldians, does it matter who is the true Eldian? Well last I checked, Liberio Eldians, namely the Warriors, actively fight for their oppressors, most are arguably brainwashed, but people like Reiner and Bertolt who know the truth about Paradis and still choose to help Marley wipe them out? Yeah, they kind of revoke the right to be considered Eldians, let alone human.

In complete and total honesty, I could live with literally everyone outside the Walls NOT surviving the Rumbling. After everything the Walldians have been through, I think they deserve to completely annihilate the outside world and them some (even if watching them get long-overdue payback in Liberio was satisfying as hell).

As for your Mary Sue question, I basically see it as Karma Houdini for overly perfect characters without challenges, no positive development (or bad development in Gabi's case), and basically just a self-insert character for the author to satisfy whatever fantasies they have at the cost of other great characters (think Jaune Arc from RWBY getting most of the attention when the focus should really be on the show's titular protagonists, or Rey from the Star Wars sequels literally mastering everything and "having no weaknesses").
