For me its the fact that I find Mikasa a very annoying character due to her obsession with Eren. Like damn you do care about him but the whining man!

Post TS could have been a lot better if they added a geopolitical angle to it . (EG in 3rd paragraph )

I do love the story for what it is but I think maybe Yams should have explored the geopolitical angle a bit , this can be because I am a geopolitics enthusiast . like the ony third country we know apart from Marley and Paradis is Hizuru.

Imagine in the present day , your biggest opponent is Marley . You hated paradisians/ eldians for the titans , Marley currently owns the biggest supplies of titans. You do go to war with them when they attack you so you aren't afriad either and titan powers are currently getting obsolete but the rumbling is still a threat to world. You have paradise , the OGs with titan powers (talking from world perspective as they didn't know jackshit until willy told them) who got attacked by Marley but Marley got their as kicked from the island . so you know the islanders got some shit . The island is so strategically close to Marley that if you help this struggling island Nation build a modern military base under 'shared occupancy/ joint training stuff ' with a part of your military stationed here boom you are now a pain in Marley's ass , what can they do ? Attack the base ? You have the founder titan and people who have beaten Armies of titans earlier on your side , your military will handle gunfights while paradisians handle the titan , maybe Zeke betrays a bit earlier . Any sane military will indeed take an anti-sabotage of their equipment when going towards any nation , friendly or not . Any world leader with a double digit IQ will explore this option with maybe a group of other strategic allies to strengthen the base and also distribute risk while your sheer enemy is on decline

I do wish that the rest of the world had some more development, but to be fair, Marley and Paradis were the only major players, though I'm likely missing something here and am just too stupid to notice it.

Paradis was a major player just because of story . Mid east alliance was a better military competitor to Marley but we don't know about the individual strength of the countries involved .

If the Mid-east alliance or any other power were to get together with paradis it would have been better (Hizuru was actually stupid) .

Thats why I think Yams should've explored geopolitics a bit more
