The idea was that King Fritz made the story up the story/lore of AOT's begining, with the whole apocalypse things. The only reason he would hide secrets and make people think that the whole world is already at it's end is because they wouldn't think of the opposite. That the world never had an apocalypse. That it was all a big fat lie. The only meaning for someone to lie that the whole world is in a post apocalyptic world is to hide the fact that it isn't. The beginning story served it's purpose as a lie. That's how a twist can perfectly work. I do agree that the beginning of a story ending up as a lie can be a good twist. Just not for AoT. It just didn't do it for me, World War Whatever just has no appeal or value to me compared to what it seemed like we were going to get.
