no word about 2013 anymore.


I'm starting to think that it was the plans for the next movie they were talking about when they said destroying Eva. It seems like they chucked the plan of following the Original between 1.0 and 2.0. Pretty much nothing from the 3.0 trailer was actually in the movie. So honestly I wouldn't be surprised they are going to change plans compleatly again.

Alternitivly, the really didn't expect the reaction they got, and are now scrambeling around trying to decide what to do next.
I'm not sure what I feel about Eva anymore, but I'm pretty sure I don't actually enjoy the series anymore.

Apparently 3.0 is so far the most successful Eva movie yet, so probably not that.

[SPOILER} The 4.0 trailer....

Postby TheDrmcvey » Sun Nov 18, 2012 11:55 pm

Someone had brought this up earlier, but I'm now starting to think that the preview at the end of 2.0 was actually intended for the fourth movie. The fourth movie might start off by repeating the previous events that happened before the timeskip, such as Kaji's situation with the gun, Gendo and Fuyutsuki traveling to an unknown area, Misato's expression of despair, and Mari being confronted by someone. I think that they might show us these events at the beginning of the film before they fastforward to the current situation with Shinji in the desert. Anno and his staff probably thought about using these events in the third one, but then decided to hold them off for the finale.

What do you all think?

I think this needs a spoiler tag.

Interesting. Heard an early report that said the oppisate, but really until I see the actual reports and figures, I can't be sure.

The question is how will it wrap up. Not sure if this is true, may just be a net rumor, but I heard an intersting thing about The Empire Strikes Back. When it first came out the movie was not as well liked as the first Star Wars. This was due to negative reaction to the ending. Of course now it's the best regareded of the Star Wars movies. It's felt to have the best ending. But would it be regarded so well without Return Of The Jedi following it, building from it's ending? Would it have been satisfactory if that was how the story ended, no followup?

Course the opening for 4.0 could be Shinji waking up in a hospital room. 3.0 was a dream. Then we get all the stuff from the original 3.0 trailer. It would be the ultimate troll by Anno.

It's still sound only though. and lower-quality sound at that

As anticipated, it appears to be the choral version of 'Next Episode' that appeared in one of the TV spots prior to the 17th.

Did we receive explicit confirmation that Kaji had died prior to the events of 3.0?

Unless we were outright told he's dead, I remain very suspicious that he and Rei-II still have a role to play in the story in 4.0. A prominent character whose absence is not addressed is likely absent for a reason.

Eva 4.0 should be a sitcom where Shinji is a fat schlub married to a hot redhead, and keeps accidentally causing the apocalypse. He could have a catchphrase. Laughtrack.

4.0 should just be an iphone recording of Anno watching family guy and waving aorund little paperboard cutouts of robots over the screen once in a while.

4.0 should just be a mislabeled reel from terror of mecha-godzilla that smells like basil and foot-gunk.

4.0 is actually going to be MacOS 11

FINAL's 2013 release date is off the website so I'm gonna pull a Shinji and take a 14 year nap. When I wake 4.0 should be a month from release.

Well, I for one will not be surprised one bit at another three-year plus wait til the next movie. Seems par for the course.

Hmmmm so:

- EVA Unit 8+2 is actually pronounced "8 plus 2"
- The double barline does not get pronounced...

Uh-oh. I was really hoping they actually meant it when they announced 2012 & 2013 for Q & Final.
