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

Some issues i see with that is that Kaworu is an angel, and in NTE angel =/= adams and another is that that comes perilously close to the whole destiny trope that, as a filthy shonen weeb, i'd hate for eva to go down that road. Kaworu is too single mindedly obssessed with Shinji for it to not be som...

Re: Q sucks and Anno hates you [split]

Do you want Evangelion, or do you want some ADR director's unnecessary reinterpretation of Evangelion? Completely changing the meaning of that line and committing character assassination is not a valid dubbing choice and saying you "prefer" it is basically saying "I don't care about ...

Re: Piano-Facilitated Homoeroticism at an Altitude of 10km: A Field Study

One of the ideas i've had in regards to Kaworus obsession with Shinji was that he lived with the Ikaris when Shinji was a toddler. Gendo had his 14 year plan and Seele had plans upon plans, one which included Shinji as a backup. So what if Seele sort of "imprinted" Kaworu unto Shinji, then...

Re: Q sucks and Anno hates you [split]

^ I prefer the dubs take on this one, to me Misato vocalizing her frustration at Shinji at that time when the shit was hitting the fan makes more sense that concern would.

Re: Why didn't Misato (or anyone) tell Shinji anything in 3.0?

^ Been a while since i last saw 3.0 but i'm fairly sure there's a shot of unit-1 in its radiant giant stage when they're explaining the choker to Shinji. Also pretty odd to put an anti-piloting device on someone they had 0 intention of letting pilot again.

Re: Why didn't Misato (or anyone) tell Shinji anything in 3.0?

And the argument about time is not solid either, because it ignores the sheer amount of things going on and needing to be attended to in the running of a large ship being brought into service. The film doesn't spend time on those because they are not relevant in detail. I would say that that reinfo...

Re: The Mystery of the Second Cross in 3.0

Settie: The spears get longer when they're impaling Lilith and 06, but they retain the same girth. So the Spear does indeed provide a proper scale for Lilith in Jo and Ha: Lilith's own hands would comfortably wrap around the shaft, therefore she is about Eva-sized. That's actually incorrect, just d...

Re: The Mystery of the Second Cross in 3.0

I'm not sure how this is a mystery. If memory serves we don't actually know the "size" of lillith and its cross. As the few shots of lillith don't have good reference to asses size. Plus even if lillith was eva size, there's still the fact that the spears don't actually have set size, sinc...

Re: You Can Start Again

That was a good chapter, it didn't get confusing considering written battle scenes can turn to a culestercuss quickly but you managed to avoid that and keep things easy to follow. Still these endings remind of of the early Jojo episodes (a good thing), that "to be continued" leaving you wa...

Re: "EVANGELION:3.0+1.0 AVANT 1 (from beginning to 10:40) Version 0706" discussion and prediction thread

I'd like to think those bigass antennas are for communicating with a moon base or some sort of geosynchronous station/s. In 2.0 they already had fairly developed space faring tech, now with all that went down, i think it'd be likely that humanity would look to space as a backup plan in case WILLIE f...

Re: Netflix English Dub Discussion

So just watched the EoE dub and i honestly found it somewhat disappointing, while the secondary characters were good some of the main ones were just not that good. Shinji and Asuka being the main ones. Shinji straight up sounds like a woman and it became so distracting hearing that kind of voice com...

Re: Mari's vow to Shinji

^ I've always found it odd just how prevalent the mindset of "Shinji destroyed the world" is amongst the general eva fandom. I mean it's not like the movie was subtle about it, it's one of the few things the movie hits you with head on. From the dialog to the visuals, "something big&q...

Re: Trailer 2 discussion thread

An odd thought occurred to me, what if "overlap" isn't about fusion but rather take over. as in the Mark9 taking over the Wunder. What if Unit 8 will be used to "take over" another eva, even if only temporarily?

Re: Rei #6 and the Programmable Human

@Reichu : To be fair Lilliths body is a bloated decaying mess by the time of 3.0 and without knowing the sequence of events, i tend to go for the simplest explanation. The 12th angel core "spawns" a bunch of images of Rei heads before being swallowed and the only eva we know for sure it i...

Re: Mari's vow to Shinji

Bit off topic but i didn't think Mari is responsible for what Shinji did. I think it shows two ways Shinji reacts to things happening in his life. N3I is related back to the 9th angel incident, In that one Shinji refused to do anything and so he lost any and all agency in the outcome. In N3I he did ...

Re: Mari's vow to Shinji

I think it just means that Mari is able to look at Shinji in an objective fashion. The way i see it Misato sees him as a reminder of the mistakes of the past, Asuka is a bundle of conflicting emotions regarding Shinji, the rest of Willie at large distrust him. Mari on the other hand is able to see h...

Re: Rei #6 and the Programmable Human

- When Seele's program took control of Mark.09, it started to operate without the pilot's inputs, autonomously. Just a few minutes earlier, we're also made aware of an Eva unit which too was turned autonomous: Mark.06. Could it be that Seele's program was behind it too? I think that's what literall...

Re: Analysis: Um, Kaworu Is Good Actually

While i wouldn't say Kaworu is a bad guy he isn't good either. NTE Kaworu is far more grey than his NGEtv counterpart. His infatuation with Shinji is so all consuming and based on his idea of who and what Shinji is rather then who he actually is, that it completely blinds him to Shinjis nature. He h...

Re: Trailer 2 discussion thread

I wonder if 2 of those Shinji scenes take place in a "train" sequence type thing. Like he's having them while on the journey to w/e Asuka is taking them. Kaworu is one dead giveaway but even in the scene with the SDAT he looks to have his shirt from the school uniform.

Re: "EVANGELION:3.0+1.0 AVANT 1 (from beginning to 10:40) Version 0706" discussion and prediction thread

So after watching this preview the best word i could say to surmise my feelings about it is, underwhelming. There really wasn't anything that made me hype for it, and in some aspects it was kinda the opposite. For the first time i found myself thinking an actions sequence was, for the lack of a bett...
