Idk though... I was prepared to give Flocke a chance, but now he is openly criticising his superiors in a way that might threaten their position when all they really want to do is... I don't know? Save humanity and prevent more lives from being lost! Flocke simply doesn't understand what he is arguing... He does not even know Armin, so how on earth can he weigh his life over Erwin's? Anyway feel free to argue my points, he's entitled to feelings but his actions now are of no help to humanity.

Hi, thank you for telling me your thoughts. I’d still like to argue on Flocke’s side, though.

First I want to point out that the danger of threatening the position of superior officers had already passed…In comparison to EM, Flocke is being pretty level-headed here. I like that Flocke did all he could do for his views without resorting to insubordination.

It’s true that Flocke doesn’t know Armin. He doesn’t really know who Erwin is, either. This applies to all lives because no one knows better than the person’s close friends the value of the person. From a military perspective, however, it makes more sense to bring the experienced commander back rather than a new recruit.

Flocke has a clear view of his arguments and does so much to follow through with them—bringing Erwin’s 90kg body back, trying to talk sense into people, attempting to stop an angry Mikasa with her blades out, etc. His motto is to speak the truth. Flocke doesn’t hide that he initially wanted to kill Erwin. Sometimes honest single-perspectives speak out stronger than cold objective views (this would be just the military strategy). Flocke was revealing himself because he wanted EM to know that they weren’t the only ones feeling the pain, and that he too had to swallow up his emotions for what he thought was for the good of humanity. Although his speech in the end influenced Levi’s choice to let Erwin go, Flocke had chosen the logical path. If Levi wasn’t so devoted to Erwin, he would have looked at the facts and brought the commander back. Flocke had expected the captain to be reasonable. How could he have guessed the love Levi had for Erwin?

His assessments are definitely necessary to humanity in that he is trying to prevent the survey corps from becoming blind people who think they’re right all the time. EM obviously have eyes only for Armin and want to make it a fact that Armin is better than the Commander. Jean and Connie think that they are out of way of fire when Flocke points out that they had quietly let the insubordination happen. Flocke’s criticism on Levi is also just, and it’s what Levi had admitted himself—that he had chosen personal feelings over the good of humanity.

It’s true Flocke is also acting out of feelings—feelings of frustration that everyone is glossing over certain truths for their own comfort. Flocke’s view certainly isn’t the only truth, and he admits that. Other than when he speaks about the popular opinion of the people who read the report, Flocke labels what he says as a judgement of a single soldier. He is simply bringing in a different perspective on the characters. This is not just for the readers—Flocke is throwing (it felt more like sucker-punching haha) the comments at the faces of the characters themselves. With all the emotional clashes from the last expedition, I believe this is a required process for the characters to admit their mistakes and hopefully recover their sense of judgement.

Flocke has an eye for assessing the situation and the courage to speak his views aloud. I’m glad Flocke wasn’t simply used as an ardent defender of Levi in opposition to EM. Instead he brings forth judgments a normal soldier not in a position of power should be able to make.

He plays an important part in providing an alternative view of the audience’s favorite characters. Both EM and Levi acted out of personal attachments rather than for the good of humanity. Jean and Connie were mere spectators—they mostly avoided being criticized because they weren’t part of the serum bowl situation, but Flocke brings that out as a fault. Flocke’s motto that “somebody has to tell the truth” is making other characters uncomfortable, but it brings in an interesting dimension to how the people could be characterized, both to the audience and to the characters themselves.

It’s kind of funny how EM keeps telling Flocke to shut up because they can’t think of good rebuttals to his assessments. He’s such an interesting character...I hope he finds people who love him.
