Attack on Titan: Shingeki no Kyojin

[Buffalobiian]

1.) Way too few of those big titans to destroy the whole planet in a reasonable time. These titans made the walls of some small territory. Every step forward widens the gap between the next titan. Eventually, you won't be able to see the next titan from the one you're standing next to.. Basically, the planet is vast. Now, if Eren just wants to have a world where the surviving non-Eldians are in permanent terror because they never know when one of the titans crosses their paths, that's an option I guess.

It's not "divide and conquer", it's a stampede. Like a locust swarm.

2.) If I were one of the leaders of any of the countries in the world and word got around that gian titans are unstoppably destroying everything ... I'd send my entire airship fleet towards Paradis. If not to save the world, just to pull them to hell with everyone else. What is Eren's plan against such a counterattack? If a massive airship fleet comes bombing Paradis, nothing can save his precious Eldians.

The island still has soldiers. If you send troops to the enemy you need a supply line. As for saving Eldians, it's called bunkers.

As far as Eren is concerned, the world sending troops to his hometown doesn't change anything. The world wants Paradise Island dead anyway. He's going on a genocide mission to fuck them up. It the world nukes his home, that's an outcome that was going to happen if he turtled up anyway. The world is advancing on anti-titan weaponry as time goes by. The only defense is offense. So no, the nations launching attacks on Paradise Island in an "attack of mutual destruction" changes nothing.

Oh well. We'll see. One thing I hope to see is Mikasa warming up to Eren again. They did a little of that with Jean telling them how Eren did everything for their sake. And that's true. Really, Zeke's plan to castrate an entire ethnicity just to give peace to a lot of assholes' minds ... how is that just? They could have taken precautions. They could have segregated all Eldians to Paradis and left them alone there where no titans can harm anyone in the world. And their technology was already letting them keep titans in check, surely with more technological progress, titans would lose all fear at all. So many alternatives. What Eren is doing is simply what happens when the Jews suddelny gain the power to fight back the nazis. When the Uighurs gain the power to fight back China. It is what happens when the oppressed minority suddenly obtains a power to turn the tables. And you cannot blame, you simply cannot.

There is no blame. If the goal is to save Paradise Island, this is the way.

Zeke's castration plan isn't bad really. It's just about choosing which side wins. If you want Eldians to win then you kill everyone else. If you want everyone else to win then you kill Eldians. Zeke's castration plan is the most peaceful way to achieve the latter. Eren's massacre is the only way to achieve the former.
