I fully agree and it is one of the weaker aspects of the story. I detested the "Somehow She is an Unbeatable Warrior Princess" trophe in both the manga and anime. Unrealistic and stupid. At least with Levi we get a "back story" that shows how he became "t3h aw3s0m3." Even with Hanje you sort of figure if she/he/it/not-sure-but-refuses-to-be-confined-by-your-stereotypes survived this long he/she/it/not-sure [Get on with it!--Ed.] must have learned a few moves! Mikasa reminded me of Gasai Yuno, but at least with that manga/anime you find out why she is what she is. Mikasa?

Still. . . I think Jean has long let it go. Eren is the stereotypical Harem Dude who does not know girls are throwing themselves at his feet. As much as I do not like the trophe, the aforementioned Attack High School is hilarious about the whole thing and actually rehabilitated my estimation of Mikasa. It sort of makes clear what we all freaking know: Mikasa has the hots for Eren, Eren is too self-absorbed to firgure it out, and Annie's motivation is cheeseburgers.
