@@benvolio2528 that was the past, the eldians now are innocent and don’t know anything about it. Why do they have to suffer for the mistakes of their ancestors?
No, Eldians shouldn't be blamed, problem is... it's a biological race of titan turning humans, so yeah, there's that. I don't think it's fair since they were born that way, but it's also not fair to others born without those titan powers either. Dude, time and time again it shows Eldians, when given the time to plan shit out, can absolutely body enemy nations with shifters and Ackermans with little problem. Old Eldian Empire did this, and modem day Paradis also has done this. Paradis wanted to live in peace yes, so did Marley, and they didn't get it.... for 2,000 years. And no, the Oppressive regime of Eldia did NOT just happen 2,000 years ago, it CONTINUED to happen for 2,000 years, and only stopped a century ago. That's a HUGE misconception by so many people it's astonishing to me. What happened to Faye is unforgivable, this much is certain, but best believe Eldians will always have the advantage over the other races, and if Paradis wanted peace, yes it would get peace, but the only nation that would willingly open it's borders to them is Hizuru, which is the only confirmed Ally of the Old Eldian Empire to date. Like, think about it, Eren said it himself, without Eldians, the threat of Titans would be gone, literally everyone knows this. Even if Marley never sent the Warriors, what makes you think the world would accept the last remnant of the Old Eldian Empire? They'd be confined to the island till they decided to go wage war on the outside world, because Eren has been pushing for Freedom since day one. Had Willy made world peace and declared Paradis untouchable, but blockaded, would that have been better in your mind? Eldians don't have this bad reputation for no reason, lmao, even throughout the story we've had Eldians believe they were indeed superior to other races, the "chosen people of God, the children of Ymir". Those aren't my words, those are the words of Grisha, who has a shared sentiment with other Eldians. Yes Marley started the recent conflict, no doubt about it, but you can't make time seem like Eldian fear isn't understandable. King Fritz said that even in the afterlife, Eldians will rule this world with its titans, and as we see, nothings changed. The world is about to be annihilated in an apocalyptic manner all because a small population of Eldians didn't get their way... not fair to hate Eldians, but not fair to Non-Eldians either. It took 3 people to make and destroy the walls and activate the walls, all Subjects of Ymir. Karl Fritz made them, Zeke's Royal blood and Eren's Founding Titan brought them down, and the World is getting flattened now. All it took were 3 Eldians, 2 of which had the Founding titan, and Royal blood was in the mix. I don't know ANY 3 Marleyans who could pull a feat like this off. You could get a lot out of 3 Eldians. You could get a shifter, an Ackerman, a person of Royal blood influence, etc. With 3 Marleyans, or Hizurians, or Middle Eastern people.... you can't get any of those.
Do you really have to write this comment, there’s a lot of people who haven’t read the manga and seeing this will only spoil it for them so I suggest you take it down
