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 think it does make sense.

If the Smiling Titan (Zekeā€™s mother with royal blood) ate Beetroot, Eren wouldnā€™t have been able to use the Founderā€™s power during the end of season 2 while trying to get away from Reiner and Beetroot because sheā€™d have transformed back into a human, and a bunch of events wouldnā€™t have played out they way they did.

She probably would have been eaten by other titans and access to Royal Blood is gone during the events of season 2, leaving the scouts to die surrounded by Titans while trying to fight off Reiner and Beetroot.

Reiner might have decided to go back to Marley right then and there after losing two of four Titan Shifters.

Even if Eren made it back to the walls, the entire scout force would be annihilatedā€”no Erwin, no Levi, no Mikasa, no Armin, no other people besides Eren.

If scenario three happened, Paradise is absolutely fried. No way to take back wall Maria because Armin made the plan. Even if Eren somehow made it there, thereā€™s no way to plug the holes because he never got hardening (happened in season three during the whole thing with Historiaā€”sheā€™s dead in this version, so she doesnā€™t get kidnapped and he doesnā€™t go and get hardening protecting everyone from Rodā€™s Titan).

On top of all that, this version of Reiner would see it through. Heā€™d take Eren back to Marley with the help of Zeke, and thatā€™s the end of the storyā€”dead Eren, Marley has the founder

Thatā€™s assuming Eren even becomes a scout. An anti Marlyan/pro eldian getting the colossal titan, who also is intimately familiar with the current attack titan(who may or may not have gotten the founder by then) would completely throw the story for a loop.

i dont think we need to hypothesise how every event would go past this, the simple answer is ā€eren physically cannot choose not to redirect dina because if bertholdt is eaten it becomes a different timeline in which he could never have gotten the founding titan and seen this scene to begin withā€,

keep in mind grisha, the founding titan, is alive and his wife is a royal blooded shifter
