Yeah, sure. Waste half the movies buget on one ground breaking, ass kicking, mind numbing special effect (like second impact), great idea, I'm all for it!

There can be other explosions. They can be big as well. But I want an serious ass kicking, mind numbing, opitical nerve blasting piece of CGI glory, that even if the movie is bad, will make worth the $7.50 I will have pay to to see it.

I will never understand the joy people get from seeing things explode, although Saikano had some pretty cool looking effects.

Explosions are overrated. Blood is where it's at.

How about bloody explosions?

Imagine if they do something like the scenes with Leliel and Bardiel. Oh god, gallons and gallons of blood!

I'm praying for these!!

I'm kinda so sick of the bitching going on all over that I've been driven to the point where I don't care if it is dumbed down. I don't really care what they do to it or how much it is mangled. In all honesty I just want to see something different and I want to see it live.

I've kinda learned to view movie adaptations as their own seperate entities. Look at them as films and not just film versions of something else. I think Harry Potter PoA is the best film of the three so far despite the fans that say it "raped Rowling's words." If you didn't have the books to go by (like my friend), it would probably be your favorite movie.

For me I think the question is...will I like this movie if I had never seen the series? Rather then...how close to the series will this movie be?

Preach On!

I agree! I think PoA was the best HP movie too but I believe that the creators put some real thought into it. I just hope they'll put the same amount of thought into eva.

Ah finally someone who shares my thoughts. Sorry I cut out the Harry Potter part but it was a good example but I'm not much of a Potter movie fan.

I gues I have to admit to myself that this movie(s) are going to be a hell of a lot different.
But I agree Cyanna, I always look at the movies diferent from the books.

Like Eva said though, it better do Evangelion justice.
And I do not want it dumbed down!

Although I guess it will have to be.
Pardon me, I'm going to go let my dreams of a superb Animation to Live action film shatter, and bleed to death.

And allow my expectations for something "different" but still friggin amazing be reborn.

But seriously, besides bloody explosions, what scenes, fights, etc. do we want to see?

It better be good. It better be good... :evil:

I want to see how much horror and revulsion an oceon of blood with a demon standing drenched in it can evoke within me when it isn't just a drawing.

Seconded

That and a new take on somthing we all love.

There's a difference between something being different and something being not as good. I am not loath to change, but one thing we all have to count on is the nature of that change based on precendent. Some change is good, and some change is stupid. Personally, I could pick out some points that I think really should change for the sake of not being a totally goofy movie (*cough*bothofyoudancelikeyouwanttowin*cough*), but for the most part, filmmakers (or studios; I don't know who to blame) usually end up making something that they think seems novel at the time, but ultimately loses the magic that inspired them to work on it in the first place. Whether envisioning a scene, running through a line, or especially writing a script, it's important to center yourself and bring yourself back to what made the whole thing worthwhile in the first place.
