I appreciate you keeping the conversation civil, nothing better to me. If you are saying you like villians better and villians and normally considered 'evil', then you in effect agree that she is evil? I'm not even sure I agree with your statement about Reiner and Eren. Reiner is responsible for the deaths of 200 000+ people, along with Bertolt. Assumung Bertolt can't retain his Titan form in it's full for very long, and that what the merchant said about him being only able to break gates are true, then Reiner is also responsible. If Reiner had not broke the gate of Wall Maria, then it would have been difficult for Bertolt to do it, and then a much smaller number of people would have died.

While Reiner does express some regret, his sense of morality is horribly skewed. Eren does the right thing, but for the wrong reason. When asked what he wants to do, he responds with 'Killing Titans'. His motivation is not to protect the weak like most soldiers, it is to exact revenge on the Titans. He does the right thing, but that is only a coincidence. Reiner is not protecting the innocent, he destroyed a wall and allowed hundres of innocent humans to die. Perhaps he was angry at the King, not without some merit, but he went about it in such a way that people who were indisputably good died. That`s why his apology feels like hollow words to me. Eren protects weaker people who don`t deserve to be eaten, Reiner allows that to happen.
