I really hope we get more of an explanation about pure titans (even just titans in general) before the series is over. At the moment it seems the way pure titans work is purely for the convenience of the plot. Why are they mindless? Why are some of them not completely mindless? Why is there no human in the nape, yet the human is able to come back when they eat a titan shifter?

The Talking Titan that Ilse encountered provided more questions than answers and that's never really been addressed at all since. Why did it start ripping its own face apart and then kill her (without eating her) instead of answering her questions? Was it the titan's reasonable mind fighting against some primal instinct to eat people? Have they been 'programmed' to behave this way by the founder similar to the Fritz vow to renounce war? If so, why?

That titan presumably died offscreen when they wiped out all the titans inside the walls. Which is even more maddening if we never get a resolution to that mystery.
