Or ideas for more spinoffs, e.g. Girlfriend of Steel 3 and an Ayanami Raising Project reboot with a new Mari route.

Not only will there be an alternate ending, they will also produce a lower-animated quality, TV ending that shows everything going inside one of the characters minds. (Here's hoping it's Kaji, if he doesn't die again... but It'll probably be Mari.)

If that happens then hurray!!!

But then would history repeat itself & we'd get EVANGELION 5.0: YOU DID (NOT) SEE AN ENDING?

Misato's life before Nerv could be explored further, Second Impact and afterwards.

That thought has popped into my mind. If the UN (or the UN under SEELE's orders) have put NERV HQ on lockdown, maybe Misato could reminisce about the moments after Second Impact while undergoing interrogation.

Ever since 1.XX was originally released I've been anticipated a complete alternate ending. At this point I'm expecting it.

I wouldn't want the NME movie series to end with somehow explaining the ending to EoE. EoE's end is better off just being open to interpretation and fans ripping each other apart trying to figure it out.

I think it's going to be a different ending, and yes, I want a different one.

Shinji ends up being in a final fight with Kaworu in the ruins of Arka, with Kaworu asking Shinji to free him from his angel instincts imbued into him him, Shinji fires a laser and the scene cuts to a city where Nanoha is sitting down, watching a park, Ichigo ice skating, Alto piloting his mecha, Yomi Isayama taking Kagura to an Ice Cream parlor and finding Kampfer Shizuku Sango, the whole Index crew, the Kampfer team and the Naruto cast, then we cut to an hotel where the Nasu crew stays, a highschool with HDxd and Code Geass cast that is side by side with the HOTD crew acting like normal teens. Then we cut to the Toaru, strike witches and Skirei crew fighting and the ff fnc crew sight seeing, the Mew cast running, and after that, we see the Vocaloids and Radiant Mythology 1 2 3 relaxing. Afterwards, Shinji wakes up and sits up on the chair and laughs before the camera cuts to this.

And Kaworu smiling at the end saying, you did it Shinji, the dream of the FAR, came finally true.
SO THERE I WAS BEING KUBO, WHEN THE EDITORS CAME IN AND WERE LIKE "YOU NEED TO DO MORE THAN PANELS OF WHITE PILLARS AND BLACKGROUNDS!" AND I WAS LIKE "FUCK YOU, I'M KUBO!" SO THEY WERE LIKE "WELL HOW ABOUT SOMEBODY DYING?" AND I WAS LIKE "FUCK YOU, I'M KUBO!" AND I MADE LOTS AND LOTS OF MONEY. I LOVE MY LIFE.

While I do want a different ending, I still want it all to come TUMBLING DOWN TUMBLING DOWN TUMBLING DOOOWWWWWN.

No matter what happens, Komm Susser Todd needs to play at least once. Even if it's just playing from Shinji's cassette player at some point.

They really should do some homage or usage of this song. Now I need to play it on repeat for awhile.

THANKS SCOTTASHER.

I listen to it at least once a day anymore, as weird as it sounds.

Let's just hope they don't use the 2012 version.

Why do people want an open ending? It leaves questions unanswered. And I think Rebuild should end the series, no sense in continuing something that has already ended.
Please just call me Ian, "TheFrisky" is more of a title.

I think that's out of the question - IIRC, Rei had Shinji's S-DAT with her when EVA-00 was eaten.

She still had it in her hand when Shinji saved her. No one knows if it still works or not.

It broke after Mari crashed into Shinji during her roof entrance. Not that it matters because Rei holds the same symbolic significance of the S-Dat. Shinji isolating himself from everybody except Rei to avoid pain of the outside world.

It just skipped to track 27. It still plays music, just not the same songs.

EDIT: Maybe Apple pays some money and he ends up replacing it with a FABULOUS NEW IPOD TOUCH BUY TODAY

You never know, I mean lays chips are everywhere in the first (and maybe second, not sure) movie.

I'm pretty sure Near Second Impact would fuck it up a bit...

Perhaps Shinji/Rei could wish it back into existence, like last time when Shinji materialized his [s:m7l3jbqq]continuity error[/s:m7l3jbqq] plug suit.

Possibly, but why would Shinji want it for that matter? He's shown himself to be a cold contemptible person, and he's given up all attempts at understanding his father which is partially what the S-Dat represented, a futile attempt at reconcilliation. And, he's transplanted the love and affection he wanted from Gendo onto Rei.
