I wonder, if her legs were healthy, could she struggle enough to free herself before that small Titan bites chunks off her?

Ymir returned to King Fritz because she suffered from a catastrophic, terminal case of learned helplessness and trauma bonding. The canonical explanation of "love" is a gross, sanitized misnomer for severe Stockholm Syndrome. She had zero psychological framework for autonomy; she returned because a slave without a master ceases to have an identity.

Eren Yeager’s speech succeeded 2,000 years later not because it was an inspirational platitude, but because it was a surgical psychological exploit. He was the first entity in two millennia to bypass the Royal Command architecture and offer her the one emotion she was entirely denied: rage. He didn't offer her peace; he offered her a loaded gun and permission to pull the trigger.

So, it seems like either the legends made him seem way bigger than he really was to make him more legendary, or the developers just got lazy with his character model. They could've easily made him bigger, just as they did with the Ebony Warrior. Or perhaps they wanted to make the point that historical figures might not have been as impressive as their existing statues.

It made me wonder if Annie's hardened kicks would act like a giant blade against the Colossal Titan's legs, causing it to fall.

Is it a bad technique from Eren, or does he simply have more raw strength than his Titan's body can handle?
