    The question from me is: Did the titans within the walls become the wall willingly. We've got Eren-titan fighting for mankind, there's no reason others can't do the same.

    It's entirely possible that while titans were made as either:

    1) an accident
    2) a way to advance the human race
    3) a way to unite humans with a common enemy
    4) a way to cripple the human race,

    that some titans thought the last of mankind should be preserved, and used themselves to become the walls of humanity.

    Perhaps it's Annie's goal to liberate these unsung heroes as the current humanity is a piece of degraded shit anyway? The titan in the wall had that peeled look, and the only 2 peeled titans we've seen are intelligent, and to all intents and purposes - human. I really do sympathise with Annie even though we know close to nothing about her still, mainly because she feels remorse about all the lives that have been sacrificed. Whatever her goals are, she sees that it's worth it in the end. Eren just rampaged like no other in his own sense of justice. I'm not going to argue that the justice is misplaced, but he's not looking around to see where it's taking him. Perhaps it's his lack of control over his titan form. Or perhaps he's just simple-minded.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

    Eren's goal, which he forgot for the middle part of the show, is to slay all the titans after he watched one eat his mother (and kill countless others around him). It's quite a simple-minded goal compared to elaborate plans, but that's why being a rampaging berserk suits it well. What's there to see about where it's taking him? It's taking him either to a world free of titans or his own death. Quite simple.

    What happens if killing all the titans involves killing civilians?

    The problem with his goal, is that it isn't a means to benefiting humans if killing is all Eren's concerned about. What happens when it no longer coincides with the needs of humans? Will Eren become the enemy of humanity just to kill further titans?

    Both really. He IS a Titan after all. So after killing all the other titans, if he really wants to rid the world of titans once and for all, he has to kill himself too.

    It already did. In order to beat Annie he had to throw her through a bunch of inhabited buildings, killing people inside.
