It's very clear that my worldview differs greatly from that of some people here.

No. To me, Eren saved Armin through an act of sheer willpower. He had lost a leg and was bleeding out. Yet, he managed to summon enough strength to save his friend. That is commendable. Getting his squad killed by acting before thinking, that was reckless. Not at all commendable.

Spoilers
Spoiler for response to Eren's decision in Ep6
Sorry; dynamic content not loaded. Reload?

To be fair, the anime doesn't portray it as something good. But viewers being viewers, they'd gloss it over in favour of the GAR-ness of it all, while forgetting that we're talking about nine-year-olds here. Is their loss of innocence really something to be happy about?
