You want something even more hilarious? There are several lines of dialogue in Shin that informs that she never talked with Shinji about what happened to him at neo-NERV: why did he decided to pilot again, who was the person who took the DSS Choker and died instead of him... or anything about EVA-13.
Then comes the final battle, and Asuka manages to trust the Entry Plug Shutdown thingy to EVA-13, which tanks it and still moves, at which point she exclaim surprised "Wasn't it single-entry?"... their plan was based on EVA-13 being a single entry plug Eva, their
entire operation to do the final battle to protect humanity hinged on an information that what false, while they had the pilot of said Eva with them all along who could had told them in 5 seconds had they bothered to interrogate him.
hey plan failed before it even began because they couldn't be hassled to ask the only guy who came back from the inside of neo-NERV HQ and piloted the evil Eva that they need to stop.
Genius, simply genius.
Wow, just wow. It's clear that if Anno wrote that he did not give a single shit about the plot making sense. It's clear to me that if anything mattered to him, it was the themes - and I am not entirely sure about that. Also, in 3.0, remember Takao said on the Wunder that Kaji told him Misato was crazy? That makes no sense in the context of 3.0+1.0:
1. Royji Jr. does not know his mother so it could not have been him Takao was referring to.
2. We know Kaji is dead, so why is Takao remembering a conversion from at least 14 years ago, especially when he had all that time to see for himself?
I have a theory, given the way in which the entire script writing of rebuilds was done (heck, they had no idea who was Mari up until the final film), that Kaji Sr. was supposed to appear alive and well in 3.0+1.0 instead of his son with Misato. Also, remember the preview for 3.0 at the end of 2.0? That was supposed to be film when they started writing it. I also think WILLE's grudge against Shinji was done in an half-assed way all along: their extreme paranoia of him in 3.0 was at least in part that, at the time, the writers wanted to go with the direction that, at least ostensibly, Shinji was in fact responsible for A3I (because Unit-01 turned to the catalyst and was used by SEELE to initiate it) after N3I. Now they resent him for N3I, which many of them themselves (Misato, Ritsuko, the bridge bunnies) were at least as responsible as Shinji if not more so for either being his commanding officer, building the damn Evangelion in such a way as to being able to initiate an impact (remember Ritsuko was narrating exactly what was going) place and finally, failing to inform both command officers (Misato) and the pilots (Shinji, Asuka, Rei).
