And for that matter, could Reiner and Zeke, when they're talking about their plans, you know, maybe harmlessly slip in a few more details about, you know, actual history, and the actual nature of the world? You know, when they're talking about other stuff.

Like, they could perhaps, remind themselves, perhaps, out loud why they feel so strongly motivated to do the things that they are doing. Just a thought.

But yeah, fuck Reiner, I really hope he dies just in part to prove some of the people who think he must continue living wrong. I don't want the world to be filled with stories where characters don't die except after they have neatly resolved all of their plot lines, like, life and reality don't work like that and I would be heartbroken if plot armor became too abundant because the presence of actual danger is what has made AOT so compelling and suspenseful for me in the first place. Like, the Female Titan would be a much less interesting story arc for me if I knew from the get-go, "ok, none of the characters from the training day episodes will die during this, all the recently introduced Survey Corps characters are throwaways though, but none of the main cast."

I hate that, I hate 'superficial danger'.
