Re: Godzilla & Kaiju General!

Not the biggest fan of this Rodan design, reminds me a lot of fan designs of monsterverse Rodan. Which were basically a giant pterosaur. However with all that being said.

  • Baby Rodan
  • Steampunky JetJaguar
Yes to all of that! :devil:

Re: Minor Nitpicks

The 360 degree vision the new entry plugs have. Like how in the hell is that suppose to work? Humans are visual creatures so when we interact with things we also need to know the position of our bodies relative to w/e the object being interacted with. It'd be like trying to walk around with your eye...

Re: How Can Shinji Help Wille Without Piloting An Eva?

And besides all that, it would also be a complete contradiction of the rules of storytelling. If you give a character a crushing revelation, one that weighs down on their psyche and motivates their actions, you can't just have that revelation revealed to be false without it feeling like a cop-out. ...

Re: NTE characters and their relationships

Sadly it seems that Asuka is bound to Shinji. 3.0 was the perfect opportunity to reintroduce her with her own arc, but it was not meant to be. So w/e her backstory and role is in final, i get the feeling it will involve Shinji in some way.

Re: Godzilla & Kaiju General!

Well i'm sold! This is something i'm willing to go to theaters to see. Luckily my local cinemas remain open, albeit with vastly reduced showtimes (1 or showtimes per movie during the middle of the day) so fingers crossed they remain open till the movie drops. Also i must say this trailer was done mu...

Re: Shin Eva - New Trailer (12-24-20)

The first one is the one that truly threatened the plan, as the others Gendo could've overruled Misato and taken certain steps to guarantee that outcome. Shinjis banishment post 9th was Gendo pulling a Shinji, he let his emotions make a rash and impulsive decision that could've easily cost him every...

Re: Shin Eva - New Trailer (12-24-20)

^ That's an interesting idea, if Shinji and Asuka (maybe Mari too) were bffs as kids, that'd certainly jeopardize Gendos plan, but then Asukas memory would have to been tempered with as well. Although she does appeared to have been groomed to be a pilot for some time so it's not out of the question....

Re: Shin Eva's Indefinite Delay Support Group

May sound weird but i can't help but feel a perverse sort of amusement from the whole situation, like these movies have put its characters through the ringer and having them make lemonade of shit lemons. Then comes reality with a 'hold my beer' moment and it's just delicious irony! :devil: We're all...

Re: Shin Eva - Official Social Media: 2.22 You Can (Not) Release

I only mention Demon Slayer cause that was the first one to come to mind, though there's others that have had announcements long before their Japanese release. @Gendo As far as i know the rebuilds were licensed individually and without knowing when the rights expire for each it's a long shot to expe...

Re: Shinji - not actually Yui Ayanami's son this time? [No Shipping discussions please!]

And I know that the Shinji - Rei relationship in NTE is different than it was in NGE. Why should a relationship that was maternal in NGE be portrayed so differently in NTE. Hmm that might be the crux of the issue. I don't have the best recollection of NGE so correct me if i am wrong, but from what ...

Re: Shin Eva - Official Social Media: 2.22 You Can (Not) Release

I'm surprised at the lack of a western release announcement. We're basically 2 weeks out and none of the usual western anime distributors have landed the rights for it. I mean the Demon Slayer movie western release was announced months before it was set to even open in Japan. Makes the silence aroun...

Re: Loop Theory (I Really was born to meet you)

I've viewed NTE as a journey where Shinji has to deal with his and everyone elses decisions and dealing with the consequences of said decisions. So him getting a redo button when things go wrong cheapens the entire journey, it'd be no different than playing a game and going 'well i've fucked up' and...

Re: Shin Eva - New Trailer (12-24-20)

NTE Kaworu is a perfect example of the road to hell being paved with good intentions. He may not have outright lied to Shinji but he definitely didn't tell him the whole truth, just parts of it that would facilitate Shinjis cooperation. What i'm wondering is if that ship battle is taking place insid...

Re: Shinji - not actually Yui Ayanami's son this time?

I believe the answer to the question in the second sentence I quoted invalidates the first statement. Both the Rei clones we've seen, Rei-02 ("Poka Rei") and Rei Q, have demonstrated tendencies to act as individuals. Poka Rei wanted to bring Gendo, Shinji and a few others together as a fa...

Re: Shinji - not actually Yui Ayanami's son this time?

The very fact that they have several characters parse & describe it that way is one of the best examples of how that was an intended perception or at least not a far fetched one. It could also be a red herring, it's not as black and white. You could argue that they're just friends, but "mo...

I hope not, NTE being a self contained loop sounds boring, right up there with "it was all a dream" type thing.

Re: Shinji - not actually Yui Ayanami's son this time?

@Ghostly Honestly i'd forgotten that Rei invited a bunch of people, however the point still stands (unless i'm forgetting more people) that Rei was expecting Shinji and Gendo and the 4th bowl is a mystery. It's not so much as sibling per se as it's an odd one, closer to motherly but not quite there ...

Re: Is Midori a NERV spy?

I wouldn't give a rats ass if some rando character that was just introduced whose only quality is pink hair and whiny attitude ended up being a nerv spy. Now if it was Ritsuko, then we're talking cause then not only you'd have the betrayal of at least 14 years of trust between Misato and Ritsuko. it...

Re: Shinji - not actually Yui Ayanami's son this time?

As it has already been mentioned, Shinji already has, at least in a subconscious level, already associated Rei with unit-1 and his mom. So having a M. Night Shyamalan twist in Shinji being a clone of Gendo would totally change the ending of 2.0. No longer about Shinji running away to mommy but a cha...
