I like how some users essentially described the live action movies, without actually referring to them. Sure the movies completely changed the identities of the Colossal & Armored Titans, although they were explained to take place in an apocalyptic future & the government is shown far more controlling in them. "Books being illegal" I agree with what was said about the lack of intelligence making it easier for governments to abuse people, which is sort of why America & it's democratic system are messed up these days.

As for the true enemy, it's the aliens who were watching after the credits to the 2nd Movie. As for the anime & manga there is a clear relation between the Warriors & the 1st King, maybe there are 2 tyrants on opposing sides, or we could be having something orchestrated by a single tyrant, similar to the Clone Wars in StarWars. There was this mysterious mindstate possessed by the Reiss Family, which could be interpreted as either viewing humanity as sinful & unworthy of being saved, thus implying it reset the world, or as being lazy & just wanting to see humanity struggling as a way to entertain itself. Personally I think the former is more likely for the 1st King 2000 years ago, then perhaps another king wanted the latter & rewrote memory 100 years ago.
