Talk:Titans/@comment-189.169.74.239-20130506054637

My theory for titans is that, they are a human creation that went horribly wrong or is being orchestrated, as Eren's father gave hints to know everything about them, and Eren's hypothesis that what was injected to him by his father was responsible of letting him summon his titan body.

We know that, at first, Eren was unable to control his titan body and that he claimed to be in some sort of "dream state", this provides a bedrock of sorts, for evidence that, other titans which are, in all reallity, humans, are suspended in the same sort of consciusness, unable to attain full awareness. Why is that? And why are there titans that do retain intelligence? My hypothesis is that the early experiments were possibly all too imperfect to allow individuals to fully control their new bodies, their hunger for humans maybe being a sort of byproduct of this early failures. Or perhaps only certain individuals are capable of adapting to the "infusion". If this is to be true or sufficiently precise, I incline myself for the 1st possiblity, Eren's father would have never attempted to inject his son with a still unstable, expermiental infusion. Although that requires Eren's hypothesis to be true, and, well his father not being an immoral jerk (which, well, could be as far i know, knowing the extreme twists this story has taken).

Lastly, the Wall Titans might be (again if my theory approaches reality), willing or unwilling human subjects transformed for the sole purpose of the wall construction. If they had the knowledge to create such colossal titans, why weren't they used against the existing titans instead? Most probably because they were also early, uncontrollable test subjects as well, or in any case, too dangerous to be allowed freedom. Nevertheless, that has the slight problem of the full knowledge of titan creation existing within, let's say, research teams inside the walls (which somewhat relates to the Wall Cult dudes). What happened to this knowledge? What happened to these individuals? If their descendants understand exactly what they knew, what are they doing? Or what are/were they attempting to accomplish by not doing anything?

In this respect, their likely response would be: "You can't handle the truth" (just like the real world). Catastrophic civil unrest is what most probably the Wall Cult is trying to deter. You know, there just seems no way of saying: "Hey guys, they/we sort of fucked up a century ago, sorry for any inconvenience we've might caused. Your friends the scientists". At least until they fix, or feel confident enough to, the shit they're so deep in.

Hope this alleviates some of the painful ignorance, the story writers keep us under.
