    The fact that Jean is leading the scouts in that odm scene is a follow up of Marco’s words that Jean is a great leader on top of that Keith is now no longer a bystander now that he’s fighting with the scouts, he is becoming someone who is truely special.

    Fun fact: the scene when the scouts let the titans gather around them to then shoot them with thunder spears is a direct parallel to season 1 when the guys of the 104th let titans gather around them so that they would be killed by Mikasa and others to strike their napes. This is supported by the fact that Jean screams "FIRE!" when they came close enough just like Marco did in season 1

    this episode made me think a lot about when Pyxis was quoting someone else's phrase on Episode 11 of season 1:
    - "If a power external threat were to appear, humanity would cease its wars and unite.” What do you think of that?
    Maybe we had some foreshadowing there and just didn't think much of it. But now it's clear that this is exactly what's going on here. Eren became the biggest threat, the most powerful enemy of all times, and we're starting to see Marley and Paradis working together to try and stop him.

      Eren is fucked up bc of the Attack Titan power, him desiring to destroy the whole world may be strongly influenced by Ymir, plus the power of exploring past and future memories fucked up his sense of time and space, as a human being it was too much for him to handle. I think he didn't truly want to kill all innocent people, children who have nothing to do with the conflict and the hatred etc but he did it bc Ymir convinced him that there is no other option, that the future is all set in stone. Last pages of the manga suggest that the titan power may reappear in the world again, which will lead to another conflict with no doubt. This is something Eren didn't know about bc he couldn't. There is no Attack Titan coming after him. So he thought all of this, this whole genocide will make Paradis free but it's not true either bc Paradis lost later anyway. Eren was emotionally manipulated by Ymir just like Grisha was manipulated by Eren. And I know it wasn't said directly in the manga but this is what I get from Eren's last explanations. It was Ymir, the ultimate slave, who hated the whole world and wanted to destroy all enemies and finally become free. Eren was full of similar feelings and that's why he got easily influenced by Ymir. He said "you were waiting for me this whole time, 2000 years", so she waited specifically for him bc she knew he'll manage to fulfill her desires. Without her, he wouldn't be so determined to destroy all humanity behind walls, he would just listen to Armin. He was always, from the very beginning of his life, seeing his future self even If it seemed to him like just a dream, a hallucination or whatever. And future Eren was doing all of this bc of Ymir's will. So at the end, we don't even know how Eren would be really like bc he was always in some way affected by the titan power.

    As for why Eren didn't do anything with the Pure Titans - at this point, as ever, he's looking and moving forward, not back. The mess he's leaving behind is, perhaps ironically given the reasoning for his actions, not a concern. At least, that's my take on it.

    I hated Gabi when they first introduce her in the manga, specially after killing Sasha, but now I kind of like her, mainly because they've made such a good job with her character in the anime and her growing arc has been great. Plus every important scene where's she's been has been perfectly adapted.

    As to your question about Reiner, I think it's revealed in the first or second episode of this latest season when he's fighting with Eren. What he says to him is mistranslated as "why did I ever think we were the same?" but it should have said "what about us is the same?" as if Reiner was never convinced that Eren's words to him in the basement of Liberio were true. Before the declaration of war, Eren told Reiner "we're probably the same, you and I. I think we were born this way." Now with the context of Eren's time loop stuff, it seems that part of Eren's character is that he's been fucked in the head since he was a little kid. He has severe psychopathic tendencies, and Reiner knew that from watching him while they were soldiers. For Reiner, the things he's done have haunted him so much that it's given him a personality disorder. He was always a normal kid that never got love from his father and was always inadequate in everything he tried to do. He's actually a good person who's been corrupted by circumstance. Eren, on the other hand, had a wonderfully normal childhood with two loving parents, and even during such a normal childhood, he still murdered 2 people and never felt a shred of emotion over it even years later. Even if he was justified in self defense, that kind of thing will affect you mentally, especially if you're a child. Then the way Eren looks at Reiner and Bertholdt in the treetops as he tells them he's going to work hard to torture them to death some day, it proved to Reiner that he was not dealing with someone who'd "only" seen his mom eaten in front of him and was a little angry about it. That's why when he realizes Eren had the coordinate, he said "the absolute worst person on the planet to hold that power is you, Eren." Reiner is extremely in touch with his own humanity, and the things he's had to do have deeply wounded his conscience, so he sees through Eren right away. He sees that something is fucking wrong with that kid, and he knows how dangerous he is because of it. Levi saw the same thing back in the forest of giant trees when he told the rest of his squad "this kid's a real monster, and not because of his titan ability." That's pretty rich coming from Levi who had spent most of his life before that point robbing and fighting people, so what claim on "humanity" does he have? Well somehow or another, Levi never let his circumstances corrupt his nature, and that's because somehow he actually HAD a good nature to begin with. He's another person who has to to struggle to maintain their own humanity when the world has been trying to take it away. Both Levi and Reiner are unlike Eren, who despite being given every chance to be a good person has chosen at every opportunity to throw it away for the sake of his own bloodlust.
    That's why Reiner was so desperate to stop Eren and it's why he's so upset and convinced that no one can stop him now. Everyone may have a devil inside of them, but as far as many people can tell, Eren might just BE the devil himself.

    Armor titan doesnt have the ability to see the memory of their future inheritors like the attack titan, so reiner can't see what's gonna happen in the future. The reason why Reiner knows what Eren will do, is because he knows Eren well. As Eren said in seasons 2 and 4 when he met Reiner "I will continue to move forward, until I exterminate all my enemies". And when Eren tells all subject ymir in the path, I think it's very clear that Eren's purpose is to destroy the world so he can protect all the subject of ymir in Paradise

Gabi and Eren are the same yet opposites, and to have her have a whole, pretty fast in the scale of things and satisfying redemption arc makes me glad. (I am a manga reader, but the anime just takes it up a whole notch with AoT recently), but Gabi it’s sad what happened but from her perspective it makes perfect sense, brainwashed against her own race. People don’t hate Eren deep down even though he decided he would massacre billions; I don’t hate Gabi for killing Sasha, when for both of them it makes sense from their perspective.

    Good job picking up on Reiner's attitude towards Eren. Do you remember during their conversation underneath the stage during the proclamation of war? Eren told Reiner that they were the same. Reiner was hardcore determined to destroy the world within the walls to 'save the world' and nothing, not even the realization that they were normal people just like him, was going to stop him from smashing down the gates and getting hundreds of thousands of people eaten by titans. Then Eren shows up and tells Reiner to his face that they're the same. Reiner knows exactly how dangerous and driven Eren is.
