That theory doesn't hold water neither, because if Shinji did came back during the time skip, then the WILLE people wouldn't had expected to have to explain to him what happened at the end of 2.0, since logically he should had been already briefed the last time he came, and yet Ritsuko did included...

Releasing it on direct to video and streaming may just be the better option. True it would set a bad precedent that would eventually kill movie theaters for good in Japan. But whats the other options at this point?

Whatever is happening with that imposter Shinji hypothesis really falls flat. People could say that 3.0 Asuka is an imposter without one eye and with angellic powers, but they don't because it doesn't make sense at all. Sorry but the foundation of this is weak. There’s also the “Shinji has amnesia”...

The GoatJesus theory seems to be suggesting that the fight with Unit 13 takes place just a few months after 2.0, which creates a contradiction. That's why I think that the fight with Unit 13 has to be taking place in the "present day" of the final movie, and that Shinji will pilot again. ...

It's likely it wasn't in space for the entire 14 years.

Huh? What does the timeskip have to do with this? Shinji was in his school uniform when 2.0 ended. Lemme clarify. I believe that part of the movie maybe even a solid 20 or thereabouts minute chunk of it, is going to be a flashback to what happened between 2.22 and 3.33, and this Shinji with glowing...

Why not? He had both of those in ha's climax (Save for the eyes being orange) One, it reminds me a bit of the glow behind Asukas eyepatch in 3.33. Also purple in terms of color theory is often a sign of contamination or corruption or demonic possession in Japanese pop culture. As opposed to the ang...

Certainly the trailers cannot show us everything that really happens in the film. On the other hand, I believe that an interaction between Misato and Shinji will be really important both to make a parallelism with Nadia and Nemo and to make us remember that moment of theirs in 1.0 in front of Lilit...

I'd say putting Shinji in the 01 plugsuit is a bigger spoiler by itself, and if Khara wanted to hide something like they did with Mari, they would have just kept him in the 13 plugsuit. Putting Shinji in the white 01 plugsuit is spoiler for them showing us at least some of what happened during the ...

I mean Shinji already tried the grandiose glamorous big gesture to fix it in Q, and it exploded in his face. There is no "fixing" or "making up". There's no rebuilding the cities or bringing back all the dead. Does he even need to "make up" for something that he's unju...

Yeah! I 100% agree with that! Maturity . This is gonna be the theme of Shinji's journey in this movie. When I said that he would be focused enough to complete his mission no matter what, I wasn't talking about coldness. I think Coldness is going to be a key part of his character n the final movie, ...

What do you personally think can he do to earn back peoples trust enough to be allowed to pilot again?

I'm sick of doomer theories calling themselves realistic. There are things called audience expectations, the catharsis of resolution, the hero's journey, etc. It reminds me of a certain Hollywood director who calls underwhelming the audience with non-resolutions "subverting expectations" ...

When the moment comes in shin evangelion, call it the call of destiny for Shinji, it will be the time for him to pilot and the souls of yui and Rei will know it’s the time and he will be able to pilot it again. Part of me feels that would just be too convenient and contrived, especially considering...

That is an ad for Lipstick right? No, this is actually a fan's work! But it is done to resemble that art style. The ad was done by Mai Yoneyama (who has a pixiv too: https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/1554775 ) I believe that people online actually thought this might be footage from the final movie for...

I think the Wille crew are mature enough to recognize Shinji is just a brat and it's more beneficial to have him on their side than the enemy, they also need to recognize their errors Errors? Misato, Sakura, Ritsuko, Asuka, and Wille were in the right. Shinji was in the wrong. He has to admit his p...

. Also now that I think about it, there's also the question of how will Shinji be able to pilot 01 since his sync-rate fell to zero for a mysterious reason. Hence why I think Anno is going to subvert expectations completely and not have Shinji pilot an Eva at all in the final film. They already est...

About Shinji escaping the Wunder to get to 01 in the Dark Wunder, I can't see it happening, because unless Shinji somehow learned how to pilot a plane during his stay in 01 during the timeskip, there's no way for him to get to the Dark Wunder on his own, unless Gendo kidnaps him again, but that wou...

Well, he can do a lot of things just like a somewhat normal person. He could help cooking, help Ritsuko get more information about the EVA pilots (this one is a big part, they did it all the time in NGE), help the crew of the Wunder, help the organization in some minor works, ]clean things off (rem...
