So, over the span of 6 years all the Titans that were outside the wall moved in towards the humans and have slowly but surely been eradicated and now there are almost no Titans outside of the wall which i can somewhat understand. But have the Marlayans been dropping of more Titans over those 6 years? I got the sense that they didn't, and why didn't they? Why did they stop dropping in Titans?

Why is Eren so scared about telling the Truth about being able to control the Titans when touching Royal blood? Afraid of what the military might do? Do what? Have Eren touch her? So what? And why isn't anyone questioning Eren about that Ability? This has bothered me since the start of the season tbh… But they never explored it or tried to figure out how he did it.. They just mentioned he did it and that's it... It was shown he trained Crystal powers but not the power to control titans.. Which seems million times more vital? Why isn't Hange for example helping him try to learn it? Seems like a plothole to me.

Last question that has bothered me since it's introduction… The Titan killing wooden log traps… They mentioned Eren's crysal powers were vital in developing this tool... And now it killed all Titans. Uuuh… It's just a wooden log that drops down and then just gets hoisted back up... A log, some wood, some rope and that's it. How is the Crystalisation vital to make this thing work? I imagine Marley did continue dropping Eldians, but after the several failed restorationist movements and the introduction of the Warrior program, the number probably declined significantly.

The reason Eren is scared is because the power doesn't work by touching someone of royal blood, but a Titan of royal blood. He's afraid Historia would be turned into one against her will. Heck, even if she'd given her consent, he was unwilling to accept it.

I think the military did try to figure out how Eren used the Founder, but since they don't know that Dina was the Titan Eren touched that day, there's no lead for them to use.

The log can only be used with Eren's help becuase it's installed INTO the wall, the same wall made of hardened Titan skin, which is incredibly durable. Plus, they'd have to make it on the outside part of the wall, which would be incredibly dangerous with Titans coming at them, not to mention the time it woud take. How does Eren even know that it only works with a TITAN of royal blood, and not a person of Royal blood… There is no way he could know that for sure… There is no reason that he couldn't tell her in private and test it... And How would they turn Historia in to a titan? They have 0 Titan fluid...

But they could also just install it UNTOP of the wall and hoist it back up, Titans would never reach it... It doesn't make any sense. Because he has touched Historia multiple times, and, while he did awaken memories, he never felt the sensation of "everything feeling connected" as he described it.

It's not that simple. The log has to fall STRAIGHT down with business end aimed for the Titan at the bottom. That means making sure it doesn't swing to the side or falls awakwardly (as in, hit the Titan with the edge instead of the flat end), reducing the damage. For that, they need to have a mechanism or construct on the outside of the wall to ensure it falls completely vertically down a very certain and defined path.
