Umm.. so, Im sorry, but it's not very clear from your answer (at least from me): Do you agree or not with my idea about the art that is story telling? ;) I was saying that the Rumbling taking place was pretty evident has it was introduced a long time ago, the first time with Armin after they discovered the Wall Titan in Stohess, after that with the basement revelation, and during the last arc where the Great Rumbling has been evocated sooo many times.

So yes it's part of storytelling : introducing something that'll end up being important, even if it's a long time after its introduction. This is exactly what you said about "the epic/terrifying notion we're looking forward to see", it's introduced in the story and we were all waiting for it to happen.

Yes, storytelling is an art that requires many things, like foreshadowing, introducing something that'll be important, character development having a purpose, etc... (As long as it is well executed of course x)).
