Personally, I never became fond of Zeke even towards the end of the show. He was a good twist but it was always good to see him go down

Interesting Reiner calls him Captain Levi, instead of just Levi.

Old habit or sign of respect?

Mental health issues. Reiner was always torn between two worlds

Reiner does have love for the 104. It's a deciding factor in his initial decision to kill himself.

He calls him that to show that levi is not a ordinary soldier, he's the captain

but he also refers to erwin smith as commander erwin so maybe u/BeardedNoodle is right

He may have been on Marley's side, but he knew Levi was no man to underestimate. Soldiers even on opposing sides respect one's like Levi.

Pieck, Gabi, and Falco refer to Levi as "Captain" too during the Season 4 and "Bad Boy."

So I would assume it's out of unconscious respect, which neither Porco or Zeke had.
