What would you cut?

Postby master0rolando » Wed Aug 23, 2006 2:01 am

now i assume they will take out the last two eps and use the EoE ending for this...

so that leaves 24 eps and a movie

24 eps = 720 minutes = 240 min per movie (not counting EoE)

now take out the Recap episode where al they do is review on everthing thats happened...690 minutes total...minus commercials, opening sequence and our Engrish "Fry me to moon"...(thats about 8 minutes per episode...23 X 8 = 184) so thats 506 min total...

NOW add EoE...wich is 94 min...so were up to 600 minutes....

200 minutes per movie...

thats 3 hours and 20 minutes per movie...which you may be able to get away with...

now honestly id cut the whole Jet Alone thing...because its not really important...i dont think anyway... so now its 576 mins...and id cut out the EoE Live Action sequences....i thought they were dumb and i couldnt see the point...thats about 6 mins...

so now 570 mins total...190 mins per movie...3 hours ten minutes...they can get away with that

...theres all kindsa little scenes and unimportant stuff they can cut or downsize...

so i think thats how itd go down...

and if i absolutely HAD to cut any Angel...it would be the computer virus one...seriously that one wasnt important...

personally, i hate that episode with passion, but it did have a certain importence: it showed that SEELE/ NERV (somebody) didn't want other companies and organisations moving in on their are of expertise and so sabotaged jet alone to show everyone that NERV is the way to go and private companies are......shit.

i'd be fine with the three films exactly as you put them, but with an extremely edited jet alone-ish part. i think everything that needed to be cut has been in your post.

Apart from a select few scenes, they can easily cut out most of episodes 7 and 9-14. But they'll probably cut waaaaaaaaay more than that.

I made this very same statement a while ago.

http://evageeks.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=463

While episodes like "A Human Work", may seem completely devoid of activity, they do illustrate a few things. In this case, the outside pressure on NERV. Many of these details can be gleaned from the episodes and be worked into other parts of the script. These episodes aren't exactly overflowing with character or plot development.

I do hope they cut Jet Alone. I never did like that ugly robot.

Agreed.

While the Jet Alone episode served a purpose, the robot itself deserves to be shipped off to China Lake without a second glance.

Yes, like everyone else..There is only those few scenes in the Jet Alone episode that are slightly important...

the majority of the action arc "can" be minimized since as you said Aaron, it is devoid of plot. All of the important scenes from those episdoes can be kept of course, and incorporated somewhere along one of the movies to have everything "flow" (like incorporating a quote into a sentance in an essay..same principle i suppose.)

Hmm... I've seen the series about 12 times now. I think it's time I go through and mark down my opinions on which scenes are important/unimportant (relatively speaking, of course).

The main bulk of cutting should come from episodes 8 to 14. Most of those angels should only get brief screen time, padded with the character development around it. God forbid they use a shot that shows time passing quickly where they dispatch those 6 angels in rapid succession. God, that would be terrible. Heh.)

But seriously. I'm going to do that. I have a lot of free time.

Oh that'd be so awful.

Montage!

I doubt they'll be cutting specific episodes, just like they didn't really cut specific chapters from Lord of the Rings for the most part. They're probably going to be looking at the series as a whole, and then picking and choosing which things they do and don't want. A good example is the episode "Both of you, dance like you want to win!" That particular angel battle will probably not see the light of day in the movies, but there were a lot of good moments in it that could still make their way into the movie in some form or another.

Think of it kind of like how it was in the mangas; there were a lot of things Sadamoto omitted, but he still managed to work a lot of stuff into the story through other means.

Youtube annihilated the ultimate montage Evangelion thing.

Was called Obligatory Eva Parody. But of course, they wipe out everything awesome. They took out Elfen Lied - Iris. Asses.

They should cut out all the angel fights because it'll be a bad influence on kids.

NOT.


But seriously, if they do EoE, then Shinji choking his chicken might scare some viewers off. Shinji being near Asuka's bed it okay, but they should cut out Shinji playing with himself and him turning over the sheet revealing Asuka's boobs because the masturbation and the revealing of the breasts don't make sense without eachother.

I highly doubt that scene will make it in the movie.
In my case, I refuse to go easy on the ignorant, regardless of degree. Hitler was ignorant. Joshua C. Whatshisface is ignorant. To me, they're in the same category of ignorant and stupid people who should have been left in some isolated corner of the world where they couldn't bother anyone. --The Eva Monkey

that scene NEEDS be be kept in ; _ ; there's so many fucked up things you get from there....yeah, it'll probably be illegal to do, but they could get around it......but alas, i doubt they will.

It shouldn't be too hard to make what he's doing apparent without showing the result.
