Remember if u want to be a leader, u dont need to be strong like Levi. I know Levi is stronger, far stronger than Erwin, but Erwin is so much better when he Lead. A leader must be wise in making every decision, what is the future, and be willing to sacrifice. Same with Cannon. The people who control the Cannon is weak and not strong, but without the people who control the Cannon, the Cannon would not fire up right? Thats why Survey Corps leader is always weak like Erwin, Armin, Hange, they are not strong enough to kill 200 Titans like Levi, but their brain is what lead them to victory. Also, thats why Erwin wants to choose Hange as a new Leader when he died and not Levi. Why? She is more Senior (if u look at Season 1, when Levi joins the Survey Corps, u will see in front of the line, there is Hange. Which mean, before Levi joins Survey Corps, Hange join first) and also she is a better thinker and so much wiser in making decisions.

HOW were you happy??????????? i don't get it like HoW??????? Erwin getting that injection was the right choice but it didn't happen I am still so mad about that

[@ChibiNaruto]

I watched a bunch of reaction video recently to recap everything prior to final season, majority of the reactors love Erwin a lot, until the episode of choosing between Armin and Erwin, literally all of them forgot how great Erwin was, and keep yelling to give the injection to Armin, their reaction and facial expressions disgust me so much. Immediately after Armin ate Bertolt, none of them talks about Erwin anymore, like he never existed before I'm not trying to say that all of them should agree to choose Erwin, but at least show a bit of sympathy or pity to my man Erwin Smith

Yeah. What motivated him to do what he did in Aot was his dream that he had after that one history class with his dad. In the words of Kenny, "Everyone's a slave to something." Erwin was a slave to his dream, and dying would finally free him from that. This is reflected when Levi has to make the decision to save Armin or Erwin. While Erwin would probably be a service to humanity if he were brought back, it would not be a service to Erwin himself. I think Erwin is very well written because of this motivation, and Levi as well because he recognizes he has to let Erwin give up on his dream and die. I believe Erwin sub-consciously realizes this because he doesn't resist when the titan picks him up, but yeah.

Ngl, when I watched that for the first time, I cried. Thinking of what Erwin was feeling. Ever since he became Commander it's always been bleak. Everytime they ventured out of the walls, more soldiers died. Their families blamed Erwin for it. Always. It's not like he had a choice. Both as the Commander of Survey Corps and as a son trying to prove his father's theory right, defeating the Titans was all he could do. But even with all his determination, with his strategies, the will to throw everything away and Humanity's Greatest Soldier under his command, he couldn't make any significant progress. But in this moment, for the first time, the people who called Survey Corps a burden on Humanity cheered for them. Actually treating them like the heroes countless deceased soldiers deserved. You can see it on his face, the sheer joy and hope that if they succeed, that's the kind of Welcome they will always receive. It took countless sacrifices, years of hard work, nerves of steel and the loss of an arm for Erwin to be acknowledged by the people just once. But he didn't know it would be his last. I'm sad again now.

Erwin was the better option, but Levi made the right choice. Levi didn’t choose Armin’s life over Erwin’s, he chose Erwin’s death over Armin’s. Erwin held a lot of guilt, he was suicidal. His goal was to see the basement, to prove his father’s theory. He knew humans were the enemy back in season 1 when he asked Eren “who do you think the enemy is?” Erwin had to sacrifice soldiers to get closer to his goal. Countless soldiers died so he could get closer to the basement, he made soldiers risk their lives to protect Eren who had the key/Titan. In season 3 we see his guilt for it. He knew he was lying to the recruits by telling them to give their hearts for humanity when Erwin never had that intention. He was a true devil making people think it was for humanity when it was for his goal. When Erwin, Levi and the recruits were cornered by Zeke, Erwin had the choice to use the recruits as decoy and run away, but he made the conclusion to lead a suicide charge. This was his redemption. He was going to die infront of the others who were charging. Floch survived, and found Erwin who was still alive. He was going to kill erwin but realised it would be mercy. That’s why Levi chose Armin, Erwin’s death was mercy. The soldiers died believing Erwin, who planned the charge, died with them. If he survived he would definitely suffer from a lot of guilt because Erwin wanted to die. That’s why he thanked Levi when he told erwin to give up on his dream and die.

[@StickInTheMuds]

I still think the show possesses that vibe but it's matured in a way much like the characters. They were all so naive and believed it was them versus the titans, and it was a pretty black and white approach. The monsters vs humanity. But after Erwin dies and they reach the sea, they learn about the outside world and that there's much more complex forces at work. Yea it sucks not having his speeches and spirit, but the scouts still embody that underdog lets save the world vibe. I think the greatest example of this was when they show up to Liberio or whatever and hold their own against a much more advanced military. But yea it is much darker, but I think it's intentional, much like as we mature from children to adults, our world views grow darker (I mean look what happened to all the kids on the show)
