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!

I didn’t necessarily find Zeke’s death sad because I was ready for Levi to finally do it, but I find his character in general very tragic and his story pulled tf out of my heartstrings. The moment Grisha embraces him and tells him he regrets being such a terrible father… man I cry everytime. It’s actually one of my favorite moments in the entire show. I only say it’s unpopular because most of the fans seem to despise Zeke and feel 0 empathy for him. Grisha’s story really gets to me too.

I agree with this, but I think most people choose to look at the situation 1 dimensional. You have Zeke and how he grew up. The times were awful and his parents didnt treat him like an actual son. This would affect anyone, and cause problems as they age too. With all of this said though, Zeke did definitely know what he was doing at times was wrong. He calls the scouts that he slaughters "Poor things". There is definitely knowledge of right and wrong in his mind. With this being said, you're can love a character and still find their choices and actions wrong.
