A group of humans that have been shown as human for years staying human is not what I´d book under "predictable". A story can be unpredictable without pulling stuff out of its own ass.

I don't think so... I don't even see this as an ass pull.Originally Posted by MFauli
Most of all, I don't understand why you'd consider it so. After all, you say Bertholdt and Reiner are Titans too. Their story is "normal" too and they came from some random ass hometown just like everyone else. That's what they say at least.
The very fact that Eren was able to transform into a Titan made it a possibility. So, shall we complain about that then? He was shown living as a human for years too.
It's not even like people don't suspect titans among them, the scouts took away their gear for a reason, remember?

Reiner and Bertholdt were never suspected to be titans in episode 2 or 3... thats complete BS.
And what's bad story telling about there being a possibility that some characters have a special background story? I don't get it.
Is Bourne identity a bad story because people could be double agents or agents in the first place?
It's just part of the mystery that involves the titans and the "titan-walkers". It was relatively clear that Annie didn't work alone and it became even clearer now, with the appearance of the beast titan that there is more than just a mindless horde of titans that want to eat humanity.

As soon as both Rainer and the armored titan had been shown, people were speculating about it being him.
When "some" turns into "almost everybody", then it becomes bad.

Well, we are kind of assuming that Annie/Rainer, etc. were from normal villages inside the walls...but that doesn't have to be the case.
We've been TOLD that there's no humans outside the walls, but there's no reason at this point to assume that's the truth. Their simple human villages could be outside the walls.
Keep in mind that all these recruits joined after they lost the outer wall. Annie, Rainer, Ymir, etc. all could have come from outside when the wall fell, and then simply signed up for the Corps. It's not like they have background checks. If an entire city is wiped out one of the refugees from that city tells you they're from there, how do know they aren't? Especially if you don't know human titans are a thing, why would you even think to check?
Seriously. I don't remember anyone even suggesting the possibility of human titans until after Erin changed. If people were really suggesting that they were titans in episode 2, those people were manga readers.
