A cold person doesn't act like Shinji. His problems lie in the opposite direction. That's why he trashes the S-Dat in the first place, the kid's all emotion. He'll never let go of Gendo. That hole will remain, even if he fills it with bitterness or substitutes or whatever. He can only separate from things temporarily. The daddy issues will return.

After reading this entire thread, these are the sentiments I agree with the most, haha. It has to be new.
If it were to end with "Omedetō!" though, that would be amazing. Truly...
Actually, if it were done the right way, it'd be interesting if, and in stark contrast to EOTV/EOE, Shinji actually accepts Instrumentality. I think that would be cool. I'd probably find that satisfying in a weird way; as it would negate the weaboos who try to hold Rebuild over NGE as the definitive/better piece because they think "Shinji's got some balls in this version" amongst other such things.
Instrumentality would work nicely in juxtaposition to the tone of Rebuild too, IMO.
Edit: Also, I reckon having the new 'Komm, Süsser Tod' in there somewhere would rule!

I sit firmly right in the middle between having an alternate ending, and then not having one. Either way that Anno goes, theres always going to be at least one person complaining about the ending.
Further more, for me, its not really worth debating about since its Anno's decision, not mine. It just means we have more fuel to toss for the Evageeks bonfire

I would say alternate ending: it would be a fucking waste if everything he did until now, all the subtle at first then ground-breaking in Q changes were just to give us a EoE bis where Shinji is broken and do nothing, then EVA-01/Lilith/The Great Flying Spaghetti Monster arrives and gives him in a plate the switch to finish off the world that he presses with a raging feeling of revenge before realizing that how things were before weren't so bad and have an epiphany before releasing everyone.
Anno should had sticked with making remakes of the latter half of NGE then.

Seriously, that is the most fananked theory I've ever heard, more than Mari being Marty McFly travelling through time to keep her parents (Asushin) together. -- Jäeger

We were told NTE would be different. It has been different all along, to an increasing extent. How could the ending conceivably not be different now?

I'm with PW. There'd need to be an insane amount of work to make what NTE has turned into anything close to the way that either the TV series or EoE ended. A new ending at this point is practically a given-- but I do wonder if we might see some returning themes. I don't think that would be out of the question.
Shin Evangelion brought me back, five long years later.

Oh, a different way of presenting related themes is even quite likely - but there can be no sense that the former ending is being repeated.

I'm not sure what kind of ending I want for the fourth movie. On the one hand, a "bad" ending--whatever that means in the context of NTE--would certainly be disappointing. On the other hand, a totally happy ending would feel like a copout to me.
Life can seem a challenge. Life can seem impossible. It's never easy when so much is on the line.
Do you like Eva? Do you like Pokemon? Then check out Neon Genesis Evangelemon-- You Can (Not) Catch 'Em All thread/16052/Neon-Genesis-Evangelemon/

I hardly could call that a happy ending : those are not the characters we knew
That's why the ending sucks
You could see the ending with LAS googles and say "oh, fate!!!!!", but it would suck anyway.
Do american "cool" people know that in Europe only alcoholics and homeless drink wine without food by their side???
People were upset with the TV ending
People were upset with End of Eva's ending
People were upset with the manga's ending
People are gonna be upset over FINAL's ending too

Or requires you to THINK. What does THAT tell us about our audience, who prefers the wondrous classics, like Transformers 5: The search for more Money by Michael "explosion" Bay, to the thought-provoking, life-evaluating, ambiguous films by Anno?

I don't really count it as an alternate ending because there's nothing for it to an alternate to, considering it's not of the same continuity as the old stuff.
If it was the same as the old continuity, then I'd call it an alternate ending.
