She’s also straight up racist. I never watched the film but her main criticism of Disney+’s Lady and the Tramp remake was that they hired Tessa Thompson to voice Lady and now the story was ruined for being “too ethnic”. Like I’m sure the movie wasn’t good but casting a black woman to voice an anima...

Agreeing with silvermoonlight mostly, I feel the need to oppose her here: Also, if you're writing this purely for shock, then your writing it for the wrong reasons and in doing so you could trigger a real-life victim reading it even more so if it's handled insensitively. - cause being an artist, you...

Putin is a tzar-emperor de facto who will rule his state and nation 'till his last day in this world. All the democratic forms of government are more or less mock-ups in Russia, because imperial leadership is what the common Russians do expect and accept. They simply want their preciousss empire and...

Looks like someone got used to personal liberty and bellyful existence. Keep it up and Mars will become Chinese colony, with Musk's head tucked on a pike. Once ago we had such proverb here, saying roughly that " the future of the state depends on the upbringing of the youth ". Maybe that's...

Well said, especially that there's yet another scenario possible. Imagine that pandemics is already contained till July, but then the virus outbreaks again because of the Olympics . I cannot imagine how Japanese government could handle such PR disaster without losing their faces before the whole wor...

(Since we're on an Eva forum.) Imagine this was done on purpose by SEELE and ask yourself does your rant goes against their shady interests or not so. And before next rant, at least make sure you got paid.

Ehh, I'm not quite sure even Kaworu himself knows what does he want. As far as my opinion can go, he simply has no ego, so his id and superego are ying-yanging all the show long, until his deliberate harakiri. I can see his superego working as he takes the choker from Shinji, effectively atoning him...

I, for one, am still 100% on the “It doesn’t matter/The mystery is the point” camp Yeah, that's probably right; the mood of the moment is what Anno pursued, while delivering the line could destroy it. I couldn't agree more. But for the sake of chasing the rabbit - guys, you combine like a horse uph...

Okay, so let's say the Impact Portal is actually a bridge to an alternative timeline, where PenPen took over Wunder from her core and successfuly conducted Instrumentality of his kind. Upon learning the horror, NERV and WILLE could unite their forces to fight The Penguin, with Batman saving the day....

Wille is (not) made of killers. HM.

Just wanted to say that Misato couldn't kill Shinji, specifically. Gendo could make the difference, especially if Shinji's life would be at stake again. He knows this, of course; otherwise he wouldn't be Gendo. (My train of thoughts kinda derailed here; crap.)

Meme? In popular culture? I think it's a classical trope from the sci-fi genre. I know it mostly from Philip K. Dick's stories, but Stanisław Lem played with it (to get humorous effects) as well.

It's probably as old as the Einstein's work.

I am really curious is your limb off, I mean, this is Anno's creation after all, but still. In my opinion in Q you have Kaworu's motivations and intentions shoved right into your face. Look carefully at his place at NERV and employ your analytical superpowers to tell me what you can read from it. Be...

With respect to the Reichu's work, which I still can somehow swallow if it happens to be proper decyphering of Annno's idea... NO. Because then it's quite obvious that tesseract intercepted in Q is coming from the future. If so, it opens a horrendous possibilty that we have two Shinjis in the movies...

So - I've listened to those Sagisu's tracks that Joseki uploaded (thanks!) and in the Track 2, starting from 2:11, I can hear a very clear rythm of a sentence "there will be Godzilla" . Lol? Also, nice arabian tunes and a reference to, if I'm not wrong, Cameron's Battle Angel Alita. Anothe...

My guess is the whole reason for this app's behavior is to make people cooperate and socialize, what is ultimately a good thing for you. If you think automatically you will make it through your life on your own only, as a sovereign individual, because the industry will take care for you all the time...

emotionally manipulative groomer In a way. The problem is, how actually not to groom Shinji, when he is what he is and acts as he acts. If he was a 4yo child, things would be clear; however he's a goddamn 14yo teen, who should already have some psychological defensive mechanisms developed and funct...

I'd say Q Kaworu is even more of a "pure" person than his NGE self. I really don't see how he manipulated Shinji. He did it by telling Shinji truth, sheer truth and only truth, but not the whole truth. Carefully prepared set of truths can lead a naive person anywhere a skilled manipulator...

I wouldn't be much surprised if they do. Twilight anyone?

^ Ah, this fits very well. But one interesting message from AVANT is: to successfully combat those changes we need godlike powers and technologies. However, in harsh reality we have none of those and we do next to nothing to prepare for climapocalyptic events when they come. We only do much chatter....

Yeah, it's a good one.

TBH, as a paranoid I still wonder whether Anno did it on purpose or not. I never heard he had any beef with my country, but...
