He went from one of my all time favorite anime characters to absolutely forgettable & mediocre within one season. Most of the core characters start to lose that original flare around this time. It's like GoT S8 all over again where Jon Snow went from one of the most dynamic heroes of fantasy to a total NPC with no will of his own.

Armin's character arc officially concluded with the end of S3P2.
He is basically a static character at this point, unless you count his crush on Annie, courtesy of Birthcontrol's memories. Which isn't bad on its own, however Armin was never an idealist when it came to strategies. He suddenly became one after the Rumbling was initiated.

He became partially Bertholdt after the injection.

Basically
For me,

Armin as my favourite character died then.
He just wasn't the same anymore after that.
And if that was planned by Isayama as such,
it's kind of clever to be honest.
Shows how people / characters change when they
are with the memories of other characters.

Hard to look like a genius when smart plans and brilliant deductions are rendered obsolete by the inevitable maelstrom of terror and destruction known as the Rumbling.

His freak-out at Mikasa about not having the answers is more a byproduct of the dire situation they're in now, knowing the powers they're up against can't be defeated by conventional wisdom and witty tactics alone.

Let's see.

>Attack on liberio with the use of tactical nuke / lights on the rooftops and aircraft. His idea and the only victims where Coslov and Sasha besically due to technicality. Other then that it worked just fine.

>Figured out Zachary's plan to resplace Eren with new candidate basically on the spot right after his conversation with him.

>Figured out that Eren's goal is world rumbling before the announcement as the only one of the squad.

>Saved Falco by playing on Conny's guilt and atemping suicide - worked perfectly.

>Made a plan to take the flying boat that once again succeeded. It didn't end without casualties like he wanted, but still they were able to get both the airplane and save the technicians despite massive number disadvantage.

And by the end of the manga

I think it is smart to not do things by himself as much cause it's blatantly clear everytime clossusSUSSY gets used it impacts super badly on the history, the character seems like npc now but i think after one point of life. We all are npc, even eren,tied to his fate.

The man is dealing with a best friend who is succeeding at committing genocide on a scale he wouldn't have thought possible and post-traumatic stress following being chosen over Erwin to inherit the Colossal Titan.

I'd be pretty fucked up too if that happened.

Imagine that you have 10 years left to live, and you're supposed to stop World Genocide somehow, and your best friend is the one doing it, and you killed people so that he could get his way, and you now feel guilt, terror and confusion. Yeah I'd be mentally unstable too, like Armin

If Erwin inherited the Colossal Titan he would get things done.

What really irks me about Armin so far is that he has the most OP Titan around and he never uses it, he will only use it in the ending for a bit and I'm not talking about the next episode, I'm talking about the last one which will probably be a movie.

I think that maybe it has something to do with the personality/amount of empathy the character inheriting the memories has. Since Armin is a very empathetic person he most likely saw Bertholdts memories and they effected him more personally because he’s empathic. He also may have had feelings for Annie prior to inheriting the colossal Titan that were heightened by Bertholdts memories of Annie and the way he felt about her. The reason I bring up the empathy thing because Eren didn’t seem to be effected by Grisha’s memories in the same way or even to the extent that Armin was. Maybe I’m over analyzing it but that’s just the way I thought of it.

I never understood the hype of Armin being a genius. His whole smart plan usually involved the author dumbing down everyone for him to actually be the smart one, when actually his plans are basic or simple. And his reactions to the situations currently proves he isn't any damn genius like people claim he is.

the colossal was in marley possession for 2000 years, berthold loved annie, armin's personality was shaped by that and he failed to realize. Armin died being burned by berthold, it was only a matter of time for him to wake up to marley.

I agree because Eren and Armin are exactly different because of that reason.
And believe to think the feelings for Annie appeared after seeing Bertholdt's memories. Before it was more of a comrade thing. Just to further indicate and hint towards how much Armin changed to be more like Bertholdt because he had sincere feelings for her and Armin has a lot of empathy.

Sadly Bertholdt was one of my least liked characters. So by putting my favourite character and least liked character together, well the result is someone inbetween, "meh", lol. But in sense of writing it's impressive. Even though i lost my favourite character.

It is pretty obvious that the fact he was saved at the expense of Erwin fucked him up mentally, and when his best friend turned rouge it fucked him even more. Therefore the geniues Armin is no more, and what we have left is a mentally broken-blonde-babyface dude trying to do the "right" things.

To me this is actually very logical and decent character development.
