Nah. The fic will still be posted on Paul’s website until he decides otherwise, so the advisal is still good. Only difference is that any potential updates will go both here and there.

Re: Was it a mistake to put Asuka in the same class as Shinji?

@Lavinius: You are right, Asuka needed to be actually engaged at her level, but still, having contact with adolescents her age is valuable for her. If she hadn't gone to school, she also wouldn't have met Hikari, the only true friend she has in Japan (who isn't also a pilot or otherwise related to ...

Re: Death String Quartet, Quantum Rei, and Misconceptions (split from General)

Hmm, mayhaps. I don't know much about avatars, but aren't they traditionally more like the incarnations of deities than well, whatever Rei's and Lilith's relationship is? Well, if we're gonna get technical: Avatar literally means "descent, alight, to make one's appearance",[3] and refers ...

Re: Your favorite scene in Evangelion?

Easy choice for me: Asuka’s final fight. It remains a triumph of animation in a technical sense, and it has so much going on thematically that I can’t help but love it. That final scene, of a fourteen-year-old kid grasping the sun and vowing to kill her immortal enemy right before he cuts her down ....

Re: Was it a mistake to put Asuka in the same class as Shinji?

I don’t think so? I mean, school is about socialization as much as it is about learning, and Asuka arguably needs even more of that than a typical girl her age. Also, school gives her something to do during the day, as well as a venue for interacting with/relating to her fellow pilots. Take her away...

Re: That picture again...

I've always rorschached that as being a picture of Adam being excavated & experimented on- the white sphere in the center, beneath the crane, is his head, and you can see his shoulders to either side. That also would explain the snow, and the weird structures all over. I don't have much if any ...

Re: Stuff that you would like to see in 3+1

Well, Shinji already went for that, and missed... So I think it will be done very differently. I don't think it will be done via an Impact event, or at least not one involving Shinji. I think it will be a different sort of event that gives the world a chance going forward. One way of looking at thi...

Re: Stuff that you would like to see in 3+1

I will be astonished if Anno revisits the Instrumentality well for Final. He's already done it twice, and the theme of the ENT series is less the perils of miscommunication than it is the journey of Shinji Ikari. Would an Instrumentality sequence really help illustrate that at this point? I don't th...

Stewart is supposed to be the ex-marine who's seen too much and is Jaded and bitter, while Jordan is the young punk kid who's still learning the ropes. Ah, no. Your assessmen...

My biggest issue with Covenant thus far: The David reveal invalidates not only the rest of the Alien franchise, but Alien and Prometheus as well. If David created the xenomorphs how did they wind up in the Engineer mural seen in Prometheus? Moreover, if David killed off the Engineers before he creat...

^ even Asuka is looking at the script going "WTF Anno?". Nah, that's Rei. Asuka's just trying to ignore the fact that Mari's molesting her even when the cameras aren't rolling. I like the fact that Shinji and Kaworu are chatting like they haven't a care in the world while Gendo digs in to...

Re: [Film] Prometheus + Sequels

I can't see how it fails to create the consequential actions of a trillion dollar expedition when everyone in the film save for two die and their mission was a complete disaster. The movie didn't fail at anything, it did exactly what it was supposed to do. It fails to establish why these characters...

160 people disappeared. Colonial Marines didn't believe the Xenomorph story. In a realistic scenario the possibilities of a viral infection is the number one probability. It was dumb to not use breathing gear in Aliens but everyone's okay with that because there is zero infection in the film. If ch...
