I don't think it's underground; between the ship dive, the evas freefall and the size of the black moon, this place could be anywhere between 100 and 300 km deep. It's so deep that it couldn't reasonably be locatel in normal space. Also it's right at the center of the vortex (the gate of hell?) that...

The Calvary Base /Nazca Lines / Gates of Hell are on the ground. I think the gates of hell and the door of guf are two separate things and Calvary Base can't be on the ground, it's far too deep. It'd go like this from top to bottom: - Gate of Hell in Antarctica ("Border of the Underworld /Ache...

Another thing I never really paid attention to, but it's referred to as "the Underworld / Acheron". Acheron is the river leading to hell, sometimes called the underworld. And well, the vortex on top of it is called the gate of hell. So I don't know if it helps, but final impact happens in ...

I still don't understand where that golden barrier and the characters/ships are located exactly during the additional impact. The hole leading to the minus space (from which Lilith emerges) is located in an "underworld" beyond the gates of Hell. Both gates seem to be constantly open. The g...

I agree, I couldn't have said it better myself.

This is a general problem with Q and Shin, they don't have enough screentime to worldbuild and they don't have the previously established world of Eva to lean on that 1.0 and 2.0 did. But the issue here is that they didn't need to introduce all these new elements and could have focused on the exist...

It's not that I don't like it, but why making it overly complicated and obscure with this original Asuka or whatever it was?

What the point of introducing tons of new elements if they aren't even going to bother explaining most of it.

This is supported by Misato's flashback in 2.0, where we see her hurried into an emergency capsule by Dr. Katsuragi just before he's vaporized. This establishes that the Impact is fatal to exposed people but survivable by capsules, ships, etc. The more I think about it, the more I think that the un...

Why does Mari call the ships Adams? And what's the point of units 9-12? In the movie they don't seem related at all. Every time I try to figure out why there are so many Adams and what the point behind them is I feel :facepalm: :???: I wish we had a proper flashback explaining second impact, but it ...

Same, and I have no idea how it can contain facilities to produce various models of eva units and house thousands of Mark.07.

It would remove the problematic relationship with her mother that defines her.

Also in the manga she was a test tube baby, it may have been the same in the show, just not explicitly stated. In a way she may have always been engineered to be a pilot.

Rei clones managing the Nerv HQ makes a lot of sense. Also Gendo is holding the key while looking at Lilith’s giant head and after that he has his movie look with the visor, implying he may have used the key I guess.

In the imageboards, Kaworu drives Shinji and Rei to a picnic. And Kaji shows Shinji the state of the world while piloting a VTOL. But he doesn't seem to appear again after that. It's a bit hard to see what happens at the end of this version. Eva 13 impales itself much earlier in the finale, and Mar...

I watched only 5 minutes out of the 20 minutes of the imageboards video yet, but it's fascinating. Gendo looks old, decrepit and half biomechanical. Also there seem to be like hundreds of evas roaming around in the nerv HQ and there's something happening outside with eva infinities (?) crashing brut...

Received it today! In 4k the quality is fantastic. Other than that, it was totally pointless, it's just a collector item.

I don't know if it's already been talked about, but the train leaving the train station at the end of the movie seems to be the instrumentality train. It's a brown old train with a single cart. If it is, it would probably mean this scene happens right after instrumentality is over and Shinji has reb...

I'm not sure it's really turning into a giant Rei, maybe it's just Shinji (the viewer)'s perception.

I wonder what/who Gendo saw as the eva imaginary. Maybe Yui?

At the beginning I though it could be related to the loops, but maybe it's just a different calendar.

But the purification of souls seems to begin only when he starts his additional impact with the eva imaginary. His impact doesn't seem to complement the 4th.

So opening the gate isn't the beginning of an impact? If you just open the gate and don't use the spears, what happens? Gendo had access to the Golgotha object in Q, I don't understand why he couldn't just go there again and use the spears. The only thing stopping him in Q was that he wasn't in cont...
