This. This is the crux of the series. Terrible & impossible choices forced onto generations & generations of children because of war & the crimes of their leaders & ancestors. Zekeโs plan is absolutely f*cked & based on his trauma . He believes he shouldnโt exist because of how heโs suffered, & by extension , he believes his entire Race should not exist.
Youโre also absolutely right. Even without Titans, horror & war would still continue. Think back to what Pyxis & Erwin said about humanity. Great Discussion! ๐ฅ
