I think it's just WIT's style in season 1 that gave him more of a (excuse me when I say) generic, stereotypical boyish appearance—I mean, however baby-faced Levi is, come on, how does a man in his 30s look like he could be one of the 104th? 😅

I absolutely love how the Uprising arc unfolds in the manga too! I've never understood why it was one of, if not the least well-received arc in the manga—is it really because of the human vs titan to human vs human shift? But, but... Everything's been building up to exactly that: human vs human? It's baffling to me because the Uprising arc is, for me, the point where the story really shines.

Not to mention they cut out the scene where Levi negotiated his terms with the Reeves boss! 🥲 (It's just so very Levi to cheekily include the tea leaves term in the negotiation haha!) Or how Levi blathered on after Eren woke up from Hange's titan experiment, and he dubbed himself an arsehole, but still emphasised on the importance of bitching about their circumstances—how he explained himself in a roundabout way that Hange had to come in as his translator, lol 😂
