Nah. I never liked how people are so forgiving and loving towards Annie and treat Reiner like a monster. While I admit I am an Armin/Annie shipper that's not why I think they should kill him. It's because the series started with the Collosal, Armored and Female Titans as the villains so it'd be poetic if the Female and Collosal Titans took down the Armored Titan, it ends where it began and all that. It's not like it'd just be "Annie kills Reiner end of story". I imagine if this happened emotions would run high and they may try to reason with each other, but ultimatley if they're on opposite sides they have to treat each other as enemies.

People are so forgiving towards Annie because she's done more to earn a chance at redemption than Reiner has. He destroyed Wall Maria killed thousands and is devoted to Marley's cause and believes the Paradis-Eldians are "earth devils". Reiner is emotionally damaged true with split-personality but his "Warrior" persona seems to outweigh his "Soldier" persona, and he doesn't appear to be remorseful for the lives he's taken but just damaged at how many he's taken. Annie has killed several dozen including Petra and Marco, but she appears more remorseful of her misdeeds and doesn't appear that devoted to Marley's cause compared to Reiner. She's also done more to indicate she became more sincere towards Paradis as she saved Connie and Jean, hesitated to kill Armin several times, trained Eren, helped Marlowe and was in tears when she left Marco to die, which Reiner forced her to do. Reiner did much more for paradis than Annie, he really believed he was a soldier, helping everyone. Annie was just an ant social who did literaly nothing for nobody. And the way Annie killed her victims in the forest were cooler, she even got to play with their bodies. Reiner is the first responsible for the death of 250000 civilians. I mean he has always been Bertholdt's leader. He was also Annie's leader during the whole Trost battle: She was waiting for his orders when RBA were waiting for the Titans to gather in Trost district (Read chapter 7) and he ordered her to help him kill Marco (Read chapter 77). Also, in chapter 94, Reiner was the most commited to his mission: He was sucking up captain Magath, always saying that he would obliterate the daemons on the island and stuff.

Also, you cannot say to people that you are both the murderer of 250000 civilans and their friends. This is doesn't make any sense. Thus Reiner's behaviour was utterly incoherent. Also, Reiner had finally some regrets in chapter 94, but it was to few, to late.

Also, no, Annie is not asocial. She was Eren's mentor. She was Armin's friend. She is Marlow and Hitch's friend. She does like a lot her father. To me, this is social behaviour.

Also, it is wrong to say that she did nothing for nobody. She saved spontaneously Connie's life, she spared Armin on the battlefield. She didn't want Armin and Connie to enlist in the Survey corps, because she was afraid of having to kill them. This is because of Annie's training that Eren could beat Reiner in "Clash of Titans arc".

Also, you seem to completely ignore the context of what happened in the forest. The Survey corps deliberately trapped her in the first place by using Ereen as a bait. Also, all the soldiers she killed tried to kill her in the first place or to disable her Titan in the first place. I mean: Annie Leonhardt has the right to defend her own  life. So you cannot call the soldiers she killed " her victims". Also, she was quite brutal, but she played only with one soldier (And she played with him only 10 seconds before killing him.).

To finish killing dozens of soldiers is not the same thing as killing 250000 civilians. If you resent Annie for killing dozens of soldiers but you don' t resent Reiner for the killing of 250000 civilians, then it is anyway useless to talk to you.
