I don't pretend the people outside the Walls don't exist. I just don't care about them. We started the series with the Paradis Eldians before we even knew what an Eldian or a Paradis was. It's only fair that we support their wellbeing, and the Rumbling is the only way to do that.

Maybe you're new here, but I give zero shits about [and have zero empathy for] the Warriors or anyone outside the Walls. They've done too much to be forgiven or even remotely likable. And that was true even before the basement reveal; I was glad when Bertolt died. Hell, I CHEERED when he got what he deserved, and I've been hoping to Ymir that Reiner and Annie (and as of 105, Gabi) will get the same. Wait, but we also started this series with Bertolt, Annie and Reiner. By your logic, doesn't that mean that it's only fair that we support their wellbeing? Technically you're right in that we started with them as well. But then they were revealed to be the Titans behind all the tragedy and chaos that ruined  Eren's life. Whatever love and respect I had for them turned into pure hatred. And that hasn't changed with their "tragic" backstories revealed. So what if they were 'brainwashed' and 'child soldiers'? Boo hoo, the SC had tragic backstories too, didn't make them evil little shits.

Ironically, though, I like Zeke as a villain. I just wish they stuck with the psychopathic conductor of chaos who just wanted to watch the world burn, a la Joker, rather than make him into yet another misunderstood victim.
