lol all the weabu nerds queefing out the nose about plot armor and "muh deuz eks" when every shingeki reader knows there are 2 requirements to have plot armor in this series:
1. have a vagina
2. be named Gabi or Mikasa
Everyone else, and I mean *EVERYONE* is fair game. Either Eren will die, or everyone else except the aforementioned, die. Hell, why not both. I don't understand what the grief is about team being able to not instantly die to the husk titans, which are obviously intelligent because Eren / Zeke / Ymir are controlling them. They are also controlling the rumbling titans. They're also maintaining a connection between all Eldians that didn't exist before Eren reopened it. We don't know the extent of how much this is affecting their ability to control the detailed movement of the husks. None of these things are asspulls. Isayama is more of a subtle retconner, and that is evident throught the series. Look at the Cart titan's evolution since its inception. Look at royal family's arc. Some of these things went through subtle changes that he chose to leave vague when introduced only to greatly expand (and change) them when presented in full.
Also all the people just skimming the panel where it's obvious the previous cart titan had lizard-like features, and the previous "warhammer" titan was wielding a spear. Did everyone else miss the fact that pieck if f*cked? She's still in there, she's not on Falco's back.
ergh, f*ck. yeah i care too much
