I dont really see SEELE purposefully waking the angels, and it seems to be more of a side effect than a direct choice.
Does anyone know if destroying the Angels is in any way necessary for 3I?

You are saying the suits are made up of angel material?

lol
wrong (with a 50% chance too)

A/S shipper here

guess which one I am (cause neither looks sad)

I'm pretty sure I have a post buried somewhere in here, but in celebration of my return to Evangelion after a long hiatus...
I'm a guy (as my name suggests), from Los Angeles, and I'm 19 now (one of those useless years between 18 and 21)

I would say that they didnt know that the Angels would be a problem at that point, but considering that they found Adam and the SoL, I'm guessing that they knew what was going on. Perhaps Adam was only supposed to make a set number of entities (limited by the number of souls in the Chamber o...

Heck, if you were crash landing a moon-like object into a planet, I'm sure some things would get mildly damaged, or maybe a little dented up. It also happens to be ridiculously convenient for the story

I dont know how you see it, but letting go of your ego and losing your existence as an individual is pretty damned close to suicide, and it seems Shinji was rather looking forward to the process

That is to say he sought to resurrect all the Angels through 3I? I suppose if he was the progenitor, it is possible that he does control where the souls go, so it wouldnt be surprising if he was planning such a move. At the same time, Kaworu seems sincerely motivated by love of Shinji (or whatev...

You know, this is really bizarre but I recently saw a video of a woman menstruating in a tub (this was at some art museum- the video was projected onto a tub, which was rather creepy). It took about 5 minutes for the blood to fully mix into the water of the tub, with a little moving around b...

Asuka and Rei: PEDOOOOOOOOO

I just realize that you can see the line that comes from the opening in all of the plug suits. I just wonder how it automatically seals....saying nanomachines is about as good as going "Its magic!"

Resurrection Theory? Like when EVA00 sprouts the Angel tower?

I suppose that would fit the contrast between Knowledge and Life better.
In all of these considerations, is the assumption that the ecosystem on earth was already existent?

Considering that the plug suit is made of a magical material that can shape shift to exactly the right tension, I'm guessing there is actually a heating system. Also, you can see that the plug suit has some width to it (wetsuit?) in all of the examples of characters putting them on. I...

Well, I think he expected it to happen, but he still did say "wait...this isnt adam" which seemed like surprise to me...

Well, at the end, didnt Kaworu realize that he had been tricked by SEELE? So it isnt so much that he changed his mind, more that he didnt want SEELE to pursue their own scenario?

(Tangent split out of this thread ) Still, would having Adam's soul mean that he would have knowledge of what he had created? It seems to me as though Rei understands her bond with other people (my connections, etc), but not much more. I guess if Kaworu was more self aware, he w...
