I'll only comment on this part, but remember,Meh.
Smash up the wall (why not just do that the last time)?

What even is the Cart Titan's purpose? To carry things? Because no other Titan can carry things?
Also, I didn't know Zeke was blonde... I pretty much assumed he had white hair. Seemed like it suited his personality... where did he even get blonde hair from?
Long-distance endurance and cargo transport. And other things that they use it for later.
Manga spoilers but only because I'm replying to someone:I'm caught up on the manga, Cart Titan hasn't done anything that stands out in particular compared to any other Titan. What exactly are you referring to? Those sort of sound like generic Titan powers. None of the Titans seem to get exhausted from long-distance travel, and they are all already large enough to carry stuff.

EDIT:
I'll only comment on this part, but remember,there are titans in the walls and it would probably not be a good thing if they, as Armin said ages ago, "took a walk", lol. If Bert releases the wall titans, he and his friends would also be unable to escape them.
Thanks for reminding me that smashing walls isn't always the best strategy. However,he wouldn't have to break down all of the wall. Just a part of it, no? I guess my question is really what is Berthold good for? All he is is huge. And big guys generally are just good for smashing shit up, not any kind of swift or precise operation. Hence I was wondering if his purpose in this episode is to smash the wall up, in which case why didn't they just do it the first time they came to Shiganshina, or any time between? (You've now explained why this can't be his purpose.)
Remember when they were like 'Berthold could block Levi's group and give them no escape by throwing fiery shit over the wall'. I'm like 'mmmkay, but he could also just smash down a part of the wall to let some titans through, or climb over the wall and stomp around, or any number of things. But then Beast-Titan is also big enough to hurl things, smash things... ugh. Just the more I think about it, the less I see any particular advantage in Berthold per se. He was a nice shock factor in the early parts of the story, but the more I consider his powers/features, the less I understand why he's in this plot.
PPS That mushroom cloud imagery... Isayama pls.
Honestly, the point of the Colossal imo is that it's big and scary and puts everyone off fighting it.
All right. I'm in a place of acceptance. Colossal titan is just... colossal. Does what it says on the tin, and no more. Probably just one of those contrivances I'll have to endure while enjoying the rest of the show. In the mean time, put me down as one of those who will thoroughly enjoy Berthold's demise and eventual exit from the plot.
Manga spoilers but only because I'm replying to someone:
The guns, lol. The other titans wouldn't be able to have guns equipped to them because they stand upright, and wouldn't provide a good mount for guns.
And the others do get worn out over a long period of time. When Reiner, Bertolt and Annie breached the wall, they almost didn't make it because Annie ran out of stamina since she had to run all the way there after Marcel got eaten, and the original plan was to have Annie and Marcel take turns carrying Reiner and Bert. Also, Eren's titan stopped being able to understand Hange's commands after an hour or so during one of their experiments, but Eren's titan's a weird case to begin with.
Cart works as a transportation titan because its host is able to stay transformed for a much longer period of time than the others. If you used, say, Armour to transport cargo, it wouldn't work as well because its host would need to keep transforming back into a human, or at the very least run out of stamina.
Honestly, some of the titans seem to not have any "special" powers as such and are mostly just there because of the way they came about. Like the Female Titan, who seems to be able to draw titans to it, but the Founder can also do that. And then there's Eren's titan, who seems to only be good at punching and absolutely nothing else. Cart's abilities are pretty shit too but I think I get what Isayama's going for with it.
Beast is a grey area because it's implied it's a different animal depending on who its host is (Xaver said that his Beast was useless in the war Marley was fighting at the time, yet if it was the same as Zeke's Beast, surely Marley would've been able to use it).
The rest at least have some kind of purpose, lol.
Episode 3
My body wasn't ready to see how Marco got killed. Poor dude died because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
You could say he

went nuclear
Episode 03
They talked with Bertholdt.
That's all.
Pacing much?
(Not that I was bored).
Right? This is beginning to approach DBZ pacing... and yet, much like DBZ, it still somehow manages to make no plot progression not feel as boring as it should...
Waiting for them to say "the city will explode in 5 minutes" and then still be fighting in the city worrying about the impending explosion 5 episodes later...
AOT always had an issue with pacing from the first season. It's one of the main reasons I disliked it in the first place. The third season is the first time I'm enjoying this show so I'm not really complaining much (though rip no more kenny, he was the best part about the show). I just wish they stopped ending every episode whenever they get close to the good parts.
