The only Titan shifters who I believe deserve to die are Reiner and Zeke. Zeke for obvious reasons, but Reiner because he became past saving. Plus, I think he was ready to die when Hange started torturing him. Actually, you do bring up a good point. For whatever reason I felt more of a personal connection with Bertholdt than with Reiner. I always thought that Bertholdt had the "weakest will" of the Warriors (he, Reiner, Annie), that deep down he had qualms about having to kill people. In short, there was something about him with which people could empathize. Personally, this is where my reaction to his death is just "Goodbye, Bertholdt," a statement that doesn't harbor joy, but his death was inevitable. Though I have to admit that I didn't expect his death to be by being eaten, let alone by Armin.
