this is the start of cringe alliance, they tried so hard to make avengers this morally high ground people. and make eren this comically bad evil guy when we as readers SAW CHAPTER 121,122,123. and we've been with him since volume 1 so we understand and sympathise about him more than fuckin gabi or annie.
imagine if in war in paradis eren lost either in paths or not, none of this nice talking with gabi/kaya,armin trying to make gabi trust (like wtf is any of use of that) will happen. either marley take founding and kill paradisians, or zeke succeed and take their eggs, "mercy killing" lmao. eren did all of this shit to protect them and this is what they've done to him.
