I’m one of those who thinks that Hange was the correct leadership choice for the majority of the time skip. Innovation and development is exactly where Hange shines. I credit the port, railroad and any technological advancements made during that time to Hange.

Where Hange was limited, their main failing I guess, was their inability to foresee and ferret out the plots and schemes of Zeke, Yelena and the Jaegerists. I see not having an alternative to Eren’s genocide plan as a shared failing of all the top military leaders, and well as people like Hange and Armin.

But fast forward to now and Hange is once again exactly the right person to lead. Rather than approach problems with brute force and guns blazing, we know from Uprising how they can unite and bring people together. The bloodless revolution that happened in chapters 51-70 might have been Erwin’s idea, but with him imprisoned the pressure of swaying a terrified public into standing up and taking action fell to entirely Hange.

When it was all over, Hange took no credit for the success. Hange gave it all to the people who stood beside her. But this meta writer very much believes Hange was the real hero of the Uprising arc and that the skills they used bak then are exactly what’s needed now.

Thanks for the ask!!
