I think if I have learned anything from the discussions surrounding the Evangelion movies, it's that the idea of quality writing in film is a mostly subjective and pretty divisive element of media consumption. Everybody seems to have more or less drawn their lines in the sand on how they feel about ...

I disagree that it's self-evident I don't understand how you can disagree that it's self-evident. Part of what I am saying is in the script. Asuka: This might be the last chance, so I'm gonna ask... Did you figure out why I tried to punch you? Shinji: Asuka, it's because... when you were in Eva-03,...

I can give valid reasons why NTE is a hot mess and why poorly written aspects of it drag down the experience far more than anything we saw in Episode 24'. So can I, and I have; I think it is worth asking though the extent to which these flaws take away from the overall experience and also the ways ...

tl;dr, I'm not sure exactly what NTE is driving at by removing our ability as an audience to understand the most readily happy, enthusiastic character. She ends up seeming more fictional and more like a fantasy or conceit than any other character, and I have trouble squaring that with the way the n...

A place like EvaGeeks is a whole lot more difficult to create than a Discord server. This is oldschool, good old forums with moderators who aren't complete halfwits. Yes, this is so true. Although I don't always find myself agreeing with peoples' opinions here, Evageeks commands respect among the f...

Some thoughts I wanted to share, relevant more to this thread than the "Rank the Movies" thread which was where I was originally going to post this. I think a lot of the problems with current discussions surrounding Evangelion 3.0+1.0 stem from what I would call the " Avengers: Endgam...

I don't see your point whatsoever. If anything, NTE Shinji also just changes out of nowhere. This is simply inaccurate. Shinji's character development in NTE came in waves, with highs and lows. In Q, Shinji was rather lost at the beginning of the film, and had to re-discover joy through piano. In S...

Maybe I'm alone in thinking this way, but the more I reflect upon how I feel about Shin Evangelion and all of the other endings including the manga, the more I hate the NGE Episode 25 and 26 TV ending. Episode 25 and 26 endlessly browbeat the audience over the head with the idea that "you can't...

Yeh, I am personally a little annoyed about how long it is taking for us to even get a general idea when a physical version will be available. I know the Amazon Prime release is out there, but still.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCJYi0G5Wys Here's a video uploaded by yours truly. It's a collection of scenes I shot across Japan between March 2020 and December 2021. I wanted to capture the feel of these locations, and show what Japan looks like in the Quarantine/2020 Olympics era. The video wa...

In summation, the hold ups others have on this film I simply don't share. At the end of the day, the only thing that holds NTE back is the fact that my brain has to compare it NGE/EOE. NGE is my favorite anime, Eoe is one of my favorite movies period, 3.0+1.0 was never going to surpass them. So I d...

If I am being totally honest, 1) Ha / You can (not) advance 2) Shin / Thrice Upon a Time 3) Jo / You are (not) alone 4) Q / You can (not) redo In my opinion, the worst movie is definitely Q. The problem with Q was, everything was working plotwise until the Terminal Dogma sequence. Why did we need tw...

He probably won't bother with Evangelion ever again. At best we'll have a manga or a book... Hence why I said "them" :wink: Although, personally, I do not entirely take Anno at his word about being 100% done, "never going to touch it again" with Evangelion. Anno has historically...

It's all too juicy for them to not make another film.

Also, Shinji's inner psychological monologues while stuck in Unit-01 would make for a great addition. This was severely lacking in NTE, and it's disappointing because this is a cornerstone of Evangelion.

Just saw 3.0+1.01 in what may be my final Eva theater viewing ever, that is unless of course there is some future opportunity in which I can see EoE. So as far as significant visual changes from the original version, I literally only noticed one: When Yui "saves" Shinji from the Gaius spea...

If you want an emotional reaction, I'm fucking pissed that Shinji, of all people, absolves his father of his sins and hands him a happy ending on a silver platter. Shinji isn't in the position to do that, since he didn't even suffer most of the horrible shit Gendo did to people. And I don't even wa...

I feel like this place is appropriate enough for me to mention some substantial complaints about Shin I have, so in spite of me defending things I liked about Rebuild, here goes: I do NOT like the CGI in Thrice Upon a Time at all. Specifically, Evangelion Imaginary. I'm really not sure what they wer...

But how is that individuality? It's a collective effort. The difference here is that she chooses to allow herself to become a tool for them because she cares for them, instead of being used without consent as with Nerv. But that's not individualism, it's collectivism and altruism. How is it not ind...

How is cooking bentos, going to aquariums, fishing etc. nonconforming? Those are by all appearances regular things. How is Rei taking up farming a noncomforming task? It's an incredibly essential thing for their community. I don't think anything in Shin is demonstrating nonconformism, in fact it se...

This needs to be answered by those lucky folks that have wathced the movie (especially those who watched more than once) I gotchu (three time viewer here) Shin has drastically improved how I personally view New Theater Edition as a whole. Now, I would even go as far as to say, had they not ended Re...
