Though I can't remember if I really thought he's dead, there was still this confusion. And when that one titan appeared I immediately thought "Wow, did Eren take control of the titan that ate him?!", well, wasn't too far off I guess |
Well, he could've gotten prosthetic arms and legs later, if the mangaka wanted to go that route. As for being hyped up, I think the anime does a good job balancing our expectations of Eren; he has a ton of spirit and is willing to give everything to kill Titans, but he doesn't excel in any one area in terms of combat or intellect.
