A couple things I don't see anyone talking about...

1: The underlying reason why the mainland Eldians privately hate the Paradis Eldians: it's in the flashback where Reiner's mom is talking to Reiner as a child. Basically the Eldians aren't stupid, they hate the fact that they live in concentration camps at the mercy of the Marley and they blame the Paradisers for their sorry state of affairs because they feel abandoned and betrayed. This gives a lot of compleity to the mainland Eldians because this proves that on some level they resent the Marley but they hate the Paradisers more for a reason that is more persuasive than just they're dumb brainwashed folk.

2: Did the Marley bait and switch Reiner with the whole honorary Marley schtick? Reiner is THE Armored Titan and he is sleeping in a kid's bed. Shouldn't someone of his station be relatively privileged, at least enough that he gets his own place? I don't know, it seems bizarre that the Marley can control Eldians who could demolish their capital city on a whim if they chose.
