Here’s a better translation of the interview

>SnK has a lot of derived fanworks, especially female targeted ones - how does Isayama-sensei think of this? Sensei says that he focus on working on his creation and would not like express opinions on other people’s works. (In a Q&A session he says he doesn’t mind)

>When asked about his favourite character in SnK, sensei said it’s Ymir since he doesn’t need to think that much to make it work and express her potentials. However, the goddess Christa is the one giving him the most headache: it’s a character who’s difficult to control since herself doesn’t even know what to think and what to do.

The rest is about the car commercial

So his favorite is Ymir because she’s easy to write and she has a lot of potential. So Ymir won’t be dying anytime soon.

Marco was a minor character, his death was meant to push the wheel of the plot ( Jean's devlopment, Annie's as weel) Ymir ? We still know nothing about her. Isayama doesn't out right tell us things, he show us little by little, and from what has already been revealed about Ymir, he is telling us that she is REALLY IMPORTANT. I don't expect her to smash into the scene, all battle ready, But I also really DONT EXPECT TO SUDDENLY SEE HER FLASHBACK DEATH SCENE. It's so pointless..
