Also they often behave dumb, so why not make them look like that too.

Also it catches the readers (and probably quite a few of the in-story characters too in their first mission) off guard. The Titans look like idiots who can barely move and all of a sudden they grab a fast moving, well trained soldier right out of mid-air without ever giving them a chance.

That is scary in it's own way.
