I know this will sound like spasm, but. Have you ever wondered why these things disturb you so? Is it something subliminal or do these actions, images, and events just not acquiesce with our everyday lives or our narrow perceptives.
Why do some images upset you and have no effect on others. I know why the first image of lilith was so troubling. It was do to all the archaic symbols the scene involved. The symbols of mystery, sacrifice, torture, sorrow, purity all represented in one image. :?
And the scene when Asuka and Unit 2 were torn apart. It was so inhuman, and so human at the same time. Beasts who bore the appearance of angels, demons, and humans. Butchering her, raping her, devouring her. She was nothing more then a piece of meat to those beasts.
So why do u find the images that disturb you ... :? disturbing?

Farwell happy fields, where joy forever dwells. Hail, Herrors, Hail abominations, and thy most profoundest hell, welcome your new ruler. One who's made is not changed by place or time. For the mind is it's own place, and can make a hell of heaven a heaven of hell. What matter where if I am eternally the same. Thus, for me, it is better to rule in hell then serve in heaven.

I think there's something just generally and morally wrong with seeing/hearing a 14 year old boy masturbating over the body of a catatonic 14 year old girl.
Sexually perverse sorts of acts can make a lot of people uncomfortable.
Other than that, everyone has their own personal views about what disturbs them.
Some find Asuka's maggot ridden corpse disturbing, while I, myself, am not really bothered by it.

Abaddon : Is it strange that I didn't find that all too disturbing?
Yea and God said to Abraham, "You will kill your son Issac." And Abraham said, "I can't hear you, you'll have to speak into the microphone." And God said, "Oh I'm sorry, Is this better? Check, check, check... Jerry, pull the high end out, I'm still getting some hiss back here."

I also kind of thought the ending of the movie was kind of psychologically disturbing.
I found the scene with the Eva series and Unit 02/Asuka disturbing because I really thought she was going to save the day. It distressed me to see her easily taken advantage by the Eva series... that and the fact that cannibalism disturbs me to no end.

I can only take so much retarded.
For some reason the one scene that gave me the creeps was at the end of eva when Shinji turns his head and sees Rei floating above the LCL. And then it cuts back to him just staring not even blinking, and then it goes back to where Rei was, only shes dissapeared. That made me go cold for some reason. It looks like she has no eyes. The rest of the movie didnt disturb me all that much.

On that same note you'll notice that she appears for a split second in the first episode as well. Shinji does a double take but she's gone when he looks again.

No...not really...hm. You see, the reason I created this topic was because I was interested in learning what other eva fans found unsettling and why.
We are all different, and we all have had different experiences, and different ways of discerning the world around us.
Some people allow such images to really get to them. While others detach themselves from the images (experiences, etc) they are witnessing. I guess I am somewhere in the middle. And ,of course, some people are more distressed about certain images, and less disturbed by others.

Okay, just read Manga Volume 8, when Shinji is inside Unit-01 The thing that looks like Rei just kinda melts and turns into Unit-01 without it's armor. That freaked me out to no end *shudders*
The demon returns after a long slumber....
