Abbysfun, the important thing to consider about Chapter 78 is that whatever happens now, this is the first time we're going to see Eren in his titan form go up against the Colossal in most likely a straightforward fair fight. We haven't seen that before and I expect it will be interesting because the Colossal's steam won't affect Eren but Eren might be too big to be able to avoid Bertolt's giant heavy arms as easily as ODMG soldiers are able to.

Also, I don't think a lot of people will get squashed, Armin spotted the plot with enough time for everyone to ODMG out of there.

And yeah, Annie is the only one I sort of have sympathy for just because out of all three of them, she most seems like an unwilling participant. If I'm gonna offer a bit of sympathy for the devil, the most responsible one here is Zeke, he's apparently the commander in chief of the homelanders and by contrast apparently Bertolt, Reiner, Annie, and Marcel all appear to have been conscripted when very young, child soldiers essentially. It does add some moral ambiguity because if the homelanders' mission is so important then why couldn't they have convinced some adults to do it? We'll see...
