User blog comment:Xxkiiroxx/"Marco is Alive" Theory/@comment-25533325-20141019060816

No offense to all the Freckled Jesus fans out there, but you all seriously need to shut up about these theories and solemnly accept that Marco is indeed dead and will not be coming back... Ever.

First and foremost; no one could survive having half of their head, or at least face, torn off. A little science lesson: the brain controls the whole body. If you're missing a third of it then it's "goodbye cruel world" for you.

Also, even if he miraculously survived that, there's no way he could survive being cremated along with the hundreds of other fallen soldiers.

I have plenty of other reasons but I don't want to make myself look as if I'm trying to upset anyone.

But seriously guys, just let Marco rest in peace. All you are doing by making up these theories is giving yourself a false sense of security. Besides, it's quite obvious that Isayama is just fucking with us at this point.
