Ya I think all these theories are forgetting to much of the story. The Reiss family has the power over all titans. Meaning they created the walls to keep everyone in. Why then not make all the Titans outside the wall leave them alone. One it keeps the people from questioning leaving? I dont think so. This power can alter memories and control peoples minds so that's not necessary. It seems the titans outside are left to do whatever because alone they pose no threat to the interior and last I think they keep the outside world away. Next we have to ask ourselves why are outsiders trying to break in and take that power? They said it was theirs and it belonged to them. So the titan powers origonated outside the wall. Now this picture says life is great for humans outside the wall. Last we see the ape titan, possibly a relative or Erins father Grishna can create titans. He has the ability to control them even more so than Erin could. But likely much less than someone truly endowed with the coordinates full power. It seems that Titans were designed to have specific functions. Specific Jobs. Given that prior Reiss's went mad from the memories of the past and say that humanity should pay for it's evil. I think the titans were likely created for war. I believe that people take a job and fill it by probably eating a dying predicessor. It is likely a society where the president contains the coordinate and the history of the world. All though I think over time using the titan abilites probably benefited the world. However, I think someone from the Reiss family betrayed society, probably a family member who wanted the world to be different took his syrum and ate his family member/societies leader. With the new knowledge and whatever ambition he was able to use the coordinate fully controll any titan or person, and could take an city/army with him. Where he then created walls from hardening all of the massive titans and wiped the minds of those he made follow him to this new isolated world. The outside world wouldn't have absolute control over titans anymore so they likely used the beast titans who were like military leaders to control the mindless ranks of conquered nations and stay off attacks. But loss of absolute control probably created chaos and trouble in lots of ways and now the outside world is trying to get that power back. One thing we can also say is we do not know how old the walls really are, or how much history/ time in the minds of those in the walls has been altered. Last I think the beast titan is a relatively new creation in response to the loss of the Coordinate. It was probably refined so titans created by the beast titan are loyal to it, and intelligent to control the advancing mindless conquered nations from moving toward society. The fact that Reiner and Bertolt fought him, and didn't listen to him made me believe he is newer in the ranks than they are.
