I wasn't too thrilled about this chapter or the previous one.

The invasion of Marley and Liberio felt closer to war. Here, less so. Nile was a little too understanding considering he's a soldier in the middle of an invasion. Colt in this chapter doesn't have the brainwashed resolve that some of the other Marleyans have, which is weird. It seems like none of the Marley believes in the cause. Magath doesn't want to destroy Eldia, he wants to end the cycle of violence. Colt doesn't care about Marley or Eldia, he says Zeke can let them kill each other. I would be nice to see some of these characters actually believe in what their nationalist cause, which would make the conflict that much more interesting.

-And I still don't see Armin coming to that conclusion about Eren. Yeah, he figured out that Eren would be against Zeke's plan. But how can he truly rule out that Zeke is NOT controlling Eren? That the founding Titan has not found a way to corrupt him into let the Eldian race die out? It doens't seem realistic that the 104th would back up Eren after everything that has transpired.

-Eren's titan gets another shot to the head and still keeps moving like it's nothing? At least have him shown to need some time to regenerate.

-And Porco couldn't regenerate anymore? What the hell? Since when is that a thing? I know Piek took a while that one time, but it seemed too convenient here. It's like Porco had no choice anyways, whereas had they excluded that line, it woudl have gave his sacrifice some more significance. I think that scene could have been done much better.

-Falco's titan just looked stupid. I know, most titans do look stupid and silly, but they look stupid in a creepy way. His looked too much like Pac-Man or a bird.

-I'm really getting tired of Reiner wanting to die. I get that he wants to die, but it's becoming a stupid meme within the series that he's always thinking, "Ahh, yes, sweet death..." and then he's denied. It's like some Wile E. Coyote or Charlie Brown and the football gag.

-Yeah, Piek getting the harness back on so quick was way too convenient as well. At least show her trying to attack without it, or trying to get it back on.

-Of course Gabi is the one to shoot Eren. I would have liked it had it been a random Marley soldier, rather than Gabi. Too much coincidences.

-The anti-titan guns seem pretty advanced. They can pierce through titan skin and kill/destroy them, but they can be strapped across your back and fired with little recoil? Piek needed an entire cannon on her back to pierce the Advancing Titan and the Beast Titan.
