Apparently he has reconsidered due to what kind of impact that would have on the fans. If so, I hope he does NOT go through with that. I am not eager to see what's left of the 104th get killed off. I think the series has dealt even too much death at times. I don't feel that way. If anything, I think the series needs to kills off more characters. Think about it, this series is about giant, virtually immortal humans who eat tinier humans. This series should be brutal. But instead, I feel at times that I'm reading the PG version of what this series is advertised as, because nothing the characters do have consequences. Sure they'll suffer (a little) but things will always work out for them and... that's not what I want to see. I want to see a series that is brutally honest. I want to see more deaths like Marco's. These characters are soldiers, and not all soldiers get to survive. And not all soldiers get to go out in a blaze of glory. Just because you are a "main" character in a story doesn't mean you should survive everything. Sometimes characters have to die in order to give a series weight, and I sincerely think that this series is being starved by Isayama's incessant plot armor.
