To me this is one of the most mind-blowing moment of this series

The rumbling
So Eren specifically targeted mainland continents right? So technically, could you survive by being on a remote island or isolated place like the arctic?

Why did they cut Reiner limbs?

I don't really understand their decision, he was already wounded in the stomach and his head wasn't healed yet so he couldn't transform and was quite weak already. Besides there were four of them to tie him up or hold him down if need be. I also wonder who actually cut his limbs, I can't see Connie and Jean do that to him but Hange doesn't care about him and Mikasa seem to be very cold toward him.

Also why was Jean the only one concerned for him? What about Connie and Mikasa who knew him for so long and just moments ago were sad when they thought they killed him? Why the sudden change? I'm surprised they didn't try to argue to keep him alive.

Finally why was Connie so far from the group? If he was near them maybe he could have attacked the Cart titan or taken Reiner away from her while Jean and Hange held her off. There was no reason for him and Sasha to be that far from the group, in my opinion it was even more dangerous because the cart titan could have killed them easily before the others came to help.
I hope you can answer my questions and thanks in advance.

Why Reiner wanted to take eren?
Riener didn't knew that eren had the founding Titan and their misison was to retrieve it so why was he ready to take Eren in S02 Episode 6 I believe.

theory i have
so the “source of all living matter” in attack on titan (the weird centipede/parasite thing that fuses with ymir and later eren) has always bugged me. canon never explains what it is, where it came from, or why it’s basically unkillable. i think the cleanest answer is: it’s an extraterrestrial organism that arrived on earth via panspermia (life-seeding asteroids). hear me out.
# evidence from aot canon
powers beyond natural order: glowing, regenerting, linking all titans through “paths” (a network that transcends space and time). no earthly parasite does that.
indestructibility: it tanks explosions, survives eren’s death, and persists across centuries. that’s narrative emphasis, implying something. not oversight.
titan system: it rewrites host biology to create colossal, regenerative monsters. this isn’t symbiosis, it’s invasive manipulation. feels like an implanted “weapon system.”
design choice: isayama modeled it on hallucigenia, a real cambrian fossil that looks alien even by earth standards. he didn’t pick a flea or tapeworm he picked the weirdest, most “otherworldly” fossil we have.
# real-world science parallels
panspermia: scientists (arrhenius, crick, etc.) proposed microbes or spores could ride comets/asteroids and survive space. we’ve proven spores can survive vacuum + radiation.
evolutionary stasis: in aot, the hallucigenia never “evolves” while all other life changes. that screams outsider something not tied to earth’s tree of life.
# expected skeptism
“it’s just a parasite, canon says so.”
>
“aot is myth, not sci-fi.”
>
“no spaceship, so not alien.”
>
# conclusion
the hallucigenia’s:
godlike powers,
near-indestructibility,
ability to spawn titan biology, and
parallels to panspermia and extremophiles
all make way more sense if it’s an alien parasite that seeded earth. it doesn’t erase the mythic themes, if anything, it deepens the cosmic horror.

wikipedia – hallucigenia fossil

do you think this is a stretch?
