Re: Rei's pills

Seriously? You guys forgot Unit 01 eating the angel-skittles in 2.0 and becoming the newest sales-point, even though the glowing left arm made it look a bit like an EA cover. But it also made it a bit clearer why Unit 00 doesn't have a mouth or head and why 05 had 4 "legs" (Because Mari ha...

Re: Are the Failures of Infinity alive?

For all we know Evangelion 13 can still be the Unit with the highest number if the MPE are a series like the Mark.04 (maybe Mark.12). The angels are 13 in the movies by the way. Ah okay, I thought it were 13 MPE and 18 in total to get things going. What I don't quite get is what I saw in the previe...

Re: Evangelion 3.33 FAQ

We have Asuka cooking for Shinji and sacrificing for him, being the relatable unrequited lover girl. We have Rei being both motherly with the dinner, and opening up to Shinji(first Rei at least lol). He has shown sexual desire for both, but it's Rei he is showing the most concern over(such as accid...

Re: What happen to Soryu ?

makes about as much sense as the rebuilds in general. sure, you could interpret a lot into it, but it could also just be because he wanted to show that something changed in the second rebuild from the original series.

Re: Are the Failures of Infinity alive?

We see the production line for some parts, at least, at 36'25": Okay. I thought of the Evas as being more fleshy than robots. But I guess that makes sense when you think about that there weren't any other robots with limbs used. During the actual Third Impact, which happened between films and ...

Re: Re:

It's probably a case of "humans create gods in their own image" (a classic sci-fi motif that NGE itself nods at). Genetically engineered using the FAR genome as a base. I more saw them as drones or devices by the FAR, created to spread their meaning and life. Yet they have those supposed ...

Re: Wait so how did Asuka die in EoE?

If one of the Spears would have hit the plug they would at least imply that briefly by a jet of LCL or Eva-blood or so. Plus, when did ever any mechanic or failsafe work with the Evas. A lot of the show might have been thought through, but it's still anime and logic is the least aspect in something ...

Re: Anyone else feel dislike towards EoE nowadays?

Meh, it was okay. Since the makers seem to be as much as a mental clusterfuck as the characters are it's difficult to find it better or worse, since the personal grade of any type of art comes down to someone elses liking and interpretation. And since there is no limit to interpreting anything to ev...

Re: What would Rei be like with a little more personality?

With just a little more personality she would probably just be a bit more interactive with others. Because between her shining moments she was just the robot Gendo expected her to be.

And with a lot more personality, in the sense of social behaviour, she would probably be neutral.

Re: Are the Failures of Infinity alive?

That said, I do believe the script for Eva Q refers to the FoIs as being in suspended animation, so the possibility of them being resuscitated in the next film exists. My bets are on Eva-01 waking them up to combat Gendo's mass-produced units. He had mass produced Eva's? How did I miss that? I thou...

Re: Will Anno Try To Top The "Hospital Room Scene"? Can Anything Be As Messed Up?

I don't know how the Rebuild is more mainstream than NGE, especially if you think so because of the picnic scene, when you find lighthearted stuff like that in NGE too (neither do I see what's bad about it, you need juvenile happiness if you want to show how the downward spiral later is bad). And I...

Re: The pill... a hint to the Matrix?

Seems like the remakes not just have most plot elements, but also the numerous unanswered questions in the original series in common. Anno should've better made an entire reboot-show instead of some movies, but I guess shows don't make that much money nowadays even if it's a show with a big fan-comm...

Re: Strangling!!!

The technique he used in EoE - and I guess it was in the show as well, not so sure about that, because it was all interwoven or redundant - was kind of werid. You need way too much strength and weight on the throat to strangle someone that way. Unless he surprised her out of nowhere, but she would s...

Well she drank the soup, but there is some universal speculation if soup is really food. And didn't she eat the food Shinji gave her? At least the tray was empty in her apartment.

Re: The pill... a hint to the Matrix?

Cloning a higher-order animal is very difficult, and the results are nearly always unstable. I have always presumed that Rei's pills are medication to keep that tendency to decay in check; but what any writing relating to them says I have no idea. I dont know, that seems a bit unlikely since they m...
