Tr: "Realistically giving the Titan spinal fluid to Armin was so reckless from Levi"

Tbh the topic of who should have got the serum is purely the matter of opinion since we can think all we want about the directions this could have taken.

Like I said, plot wise it was pretty obvious that Armin was the one who was going to live and Erwin was the one who would die.

Looking at the motivations and dreams doesn’t matter logically speaking, but it fits with the themes of the story. Like Hange explained, Erwin was the right choice in her mind, and Levi says himself Armin is nothing like Erwin, because it’s true.

But nonetheless, he chose him because he decided that right then and there to let Erwin die on that roof as he had already sacrificed his life for humanity.
