Reply to comment by DoIrllyneeda_usrname in Has there ever been a continuity heavy show that constantly shook things up? by opiate_lifer

Oh yea this is a good example! Like from the pilot we know:

There is some kind of human settlement outside the wall.

These humans appear to be able to transform into intelligent titans, and are attacking the wall for some reason.

So from episode 1 its obvious where the plot is going, but the depth of it was certainly unexpected!

Did we actually know that there were humans outside the wall? For me I just knew that there were "intelligent" titans and that intelligence wanted to wipe out the people inside the wall. That said its possible the dad revealed some information that I forgot.

Eren's dad had never hidden the fact he came from outside the wall, he just claimed in public he had amnesia. Eren and other characters that knew him knew he was discovered wandering outside the wall, so this combined with the wall attack and Eren being able to transform you can infer from the first few episodes there are humans outside the wall who have the ability to turn into titans.

What you said about Erens dad was not common knowledge and even if it was it’s not revealed to the audience until season 3.

We don't know what is in the basement until season 3, I am sure as early as when Eren is put on trial it is known his dad came from outside the wall.

AOT addict lol. You have to pay very close attention to Season 3. Example: Oceania is referenced often by commanders (not by that name of course). Meaning this is taking place at the prime of human and industrial evolution and just as eras ago, people are forced to acknowledge humanity expands beyond their current place of residence.
