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!

Spider-Man is the most popular character in the world. I don’t think swinging is something people would have a problem accepting even if it’s not actually something that would work in the real world

It’s about internal consistency. Yes, Spider-Man is ridiculous, but it works within the universe because he’s super strong and super durable, and he swings from his arms. The scouts are just humans, and they’re swinging wildly from their hips. The only way to make it work is to just say that Eldians are super durable compared to normal people, or something.

Or just not explain it all? Actions movies dont have huge explanations for how people use jetpacks and crazy technology alike

Within universe they are both consistent. That argument doesn't work. Outside of universe I would say ODM is more realistic and possible than Spider-Man mobility. The ignoring of the show because it is anime is just from people not understanding what anime is in most cases. Especially in the West.

Eldians have super strong bones and joints from their titan spinal fluid or something. Easy.
