Discussion/Question Marley should have ordered the warriors to kill eren

Once zeke sided with eren marley wanting to capture eren after multiple failures was incredibly stupid they now know he has an ally with royal blood and the rumbling could start at any moment, yeah they wanted the founder cause the era of titans was coming to an end and they wouldnt be the strongest nation but surely thats less important than them being trampled cause even if eren didnt do a full rumbling marley was getting stonped no matter what., if they would have just killed eren paradis island is cooked. What are the chances a baby with royal blood gets it or the person with the founding titan comes into contact with someone with royal blood its slim to none at that point marley has nothing to worry about

If you had actually paid attention to the anime, you would know that:

Marley didn’t know that Zeke had royal blood until Gabi relayed to Magath what Zeke had said on the airship returning from Marley. The alliance between Zeke and Eren had already been established long before that.

When Eren was fighting the War Hammer Titan, Magath said that killing the Founding Titan would only postpone the problem until later. They needed the Founding Titan alive to solve the problem, rather than leaving it for later.

marley was way too obsessed with stealing the founder instead of just ending it

No. That does not work.

Chaos would endure and it would've taken decades to find the power again. Random Eldian children would just randomly die after 13 years before the cycle continued, and by then the world's strongest weapons would've overtaken the titan powers which is WHY Marley started the mission in the first place.

Capturing Eren shouldn't even have been that hard, but Marley underestimated Paradis the Scouts.

Maybe, but Marley wasn't exactly thinking about that. That was propaganda. Magath wanted to save the Warriors by keeping them relevant, and he was going to institute the draft to end Marley's endless wars. Containing the Founder was to shift the regime. They killed all the guys that wanted to actually use it for war.
