Savagery

Isayama has proven to the world how much of a genius architect he is, how thoughtful and clinical he is, in worldbuilding, as in the big picture, as well as in the details; the characters' thoughts and emotional motivations and desires. The table scene has one of the best character complexion portrayals I've ever seen, if not the best. It is not on the surface whether someone is being 'forced' to obey certain orders, or if someone is being emotionally manipulated. We can never be sure. Each one of us interprets this in his ways. Whether Eren meant what he was saying, whether he changed, or altered his views and opinions, whether he cares or doesn't care; this is something we can never be sure of and this is exactly the point.
