I totally agree with you, it seems like Reiner and Bertholt could have wiped out humanity long ago, why didn't they do so? I really hope there will be an explanation and that it's not simply a plot device to give a chance to humans.

But when you say the original sin is just something their ancestors did and they're blamed for it, no, the page of chapter 78 I included in my first post clearly refutes that. It was the most popular theory till now and Bertholt clearly says that's not the reason. __________________________________________________________________________

Aggression25 responds: I didn't really pay attention to the older post until you mentioned it. But now that you have, it's only my opinion that Eren's hatred towards the Titans is because of Bertolt and Reiner breaking Wall Maria down. If they hadn't allowed for the Titans to get in, then Eren's mother wouldn't have been killed by the Smiling Titan, and Eren wouldn't have sworn to kill the Titans in response to this personal loss. So, in a way, his desire for revenge and freedom from the rule of the Titans is Bertolt and Reiner's fault when you look at it that way.
