If yes, does he really want to involve the persecuted Eldians and refugees whom he witnessed their condition in Marley and everywhere in the world?What happened exactly in the meeting between him and Yelena two years ago when he started to show this side? Why did he launch the raid on Liberio while he fully knows that he would involve civilians and childrens in his inacceptable attack? Why did he hurt Armin and Mikasa while it's obvious that he care for them more than anyone in the world? The Attack Titan isn't supposed to represent the hope,freedom and pride of Eldia,instead of the dark and the evil side of them?Where the hell is Queen Historia in all of this? Who was the person who Annie saw in the window? With the wall titans reaching the mainland led by the power of the founding,it's definitely too soon to assume that Eren will carry his proclamed goal to the very end,he can change his orders in any moment,and without discussion,i'm against his goal to destroy humanity,because it's impossible right now for the self-proclamed "new eldian empire" to colonize the whole word,that's why i choose to believe to the very end that eren is bluffing and acting as the vilain in order to make the world accept Paradise-the same maybe for Floch and the Yeagerists-. Half of the questions you asked i can answer them right here and now and i won't be far off the mark. So let's see. Eren really wants to destroy all life outside of the island, Eldians included. Eren's allegiance is to Paradis and Paradis alone. That much has been made clear.

In the meeting with Yelena (we will see it in his POV chapter), which took place 10 months ago, not 2 years as you say, Yelena told Eren Zeke's real goal and told him to infiltrate Marley on his own during SC's trip there shown in chapter 123, to force the hands of the military. He went through with the plan to raid Liberio, because it was necessary. It was Zeke's plan and Eren had to make Zeke trust him. It was the only way to get Zeke out of Marley. The Attack Titan fights for freedom. His own freedom. Eren's freedom and the freedom of everyone else he loves are not compatible, as shown and foreshadowed in chapter 112. The person Annie saw was Keith Shadis. It's obvious in the official release. Eren doesn't care about colonizing the world. Eren wants to kill them all and be done with it.

Now when it comes to Historia's role to all this, she simply agreed to get pregnant. She did that to save herself from the fate of being turned into a titan and in order to keep Zeke alive. Eren convinced her that this was important and vital for her survival and the survival of the people of Paradis and she agreed. This is speculation on my part, but i guess we'll see.

As for why he hurt Mikasa and Armin, it's exactly because he loves them more than anyone else. He needs to move away from them in order to be able to come to terms with what he is about to do and possibly because he knows that they deserve better than being stuck with the man who killed the world. He doesn't want them involved, in order to spare them from the pain of having helped him murder the entire human population. He probably doesn't intend to go back to them at all. Still speculation on my part, but i'm sure i'll be right in the end.

Eren portraying himself as the villain, is the dumbest plan he could have thought. It's stupid and unrealistic. Eren declaring that he will murder the entire world doesn't paint just him as evil. It makes the entire world be afraid of Paradis even more. The Paradisians murdered Marleyans and people from around the world. In the eyes of the world, this is a collective sin, not just Eren's.

Even if the world were to recognize the bravery of Mikasa, Armin etc and their efforts to battle Eren, the rest of the island supported Eren. Even the ones who disapproved of his actions only did that because he killed some of them as well, not because they like the outside world. And to top it all, Historia supports Eren. With the militaty junta gone, Historia is the hightest authority in the island and she supports Eren. If Eren wants to die a bad guy, he will save the rest of the world, but he will doom Paradis. This theory is as bad as it gets and so far off the mark considering Eren's character that i'm shocked to see people believing it.
