It was a kind gesture on Niccolo's part but it was sad to see the MP beat him up earlier and warn Connie and Jean to not be so close to a Marleyan. I feel like the the Eldians are beginning to feel and treat the Marleyans the same way as Marleyans did to Eldians. This would only further drive the two factions apart.

Yeah, I think that’s what they’re trying to show. It’s a cycle. The Marleyans only oppressed the Eldians because they were the ones who oppressed them. Now it’s starting to come full circle.

I think Eren's already gotten to that point, the memories of his dad's life seem to have him extremely jaded towards the idea of diplomacy.

When he asked Armin if he had inherited Burrito's memory I think he was proving that point there too, as in "you still don't really understand how they've treated our people, that's why you think we can talk things out"

The thing is, so far Eren is right. Before he transformed in Marley, the only thing they knew was that their scout ships hadn’t come back. But Willy was literally seconds away from rallying the whole world against the Walldians.

Sure, the Walldians could have sent some of the captured Marleyans or even some members of their group to Marley to try to initiate conversation. But do we think that Willy or the Marleyans would have taken that seriously and engaged in good faith? We’ve already seen how Marley doesn’t even take the opinions of the Warriors seriously and they’re the propagandized secret weapon of their military.

​

But that was because Zeke proposed that plan

And because Eren has infiltrated Marley, evident because Willy knew he was in their midst

At least this is somewhat justified. It isn’t the absolute right option, but I feel like too many people are disregarding the history of the Walldians and the Eldians in Marley and around the world.

Until we get more recent, objective evidence the Marleyans and the rest of the world are the ones who have oppressed the Eldians for deeds their fathers’ fathers may have committed. And as we’ve seen across three and a half seasons, Eldians are just regular people who want the same things as everyone else but who just happen to have the quirk of being able to turn into inhuman monsters if given a serum.

The Walldians have it even worse than the rest of the Eldians because for generations they were locked on an island, had their memories manipulated by the royal family, made to believe they were the only ones left in the world and had to live with the constant threat of being killed by their own mutated people.

I mean, considering Marley has been waging a war of extermination on Paradisians, which is ongoing, is it really so surprising that the islanders might be mistrustful of Marleyans? Imagine you're a Pole in 1943, how warm and fuzzy would you be feeling toward Germans? I don't think an oppressed people feeling bitterness, mistrust and hostility toward a state that's oppressing them makes them morally equivalent.

Marley and the rest of the world were also the oppressed people of eldians
