Before the Rebuilds, Maya Ibuki's character pulled the topic of laid-back yuri as the admiration of his mentor Ritsuko. IMO, after Kaworu was introduced into the plot, it would have been possible not to hide it too much, but as usual it happens in Eva, it's impossible to catch anyone on anything in particular. Therefore, when in 3.0 hardened Maya reprimanded the subordinates guys and complained aside that it was impossible to rely on men -- we all looked at each other slyly and understandingly :shifty:

However, when a similar scene with her was duplicated at the beginning of 4.0, like "the guys are always problematic", it became even a little sad that her presence was so easily nailed to the already worked out line. And when in the finale, for the third time, having cursed at the subordinates who did not want to leave the ship, -- who said "no, boss, this is our duty" -- I was sincerely glad, as, without any disdain, she again complains that it's always the same with young people.

A good joke from the creators, who, apparently, love Maya no less than the others.

Yes, I too found the Mexican stand-off to be preposterous (do we really need two people pointing guns at Shinji?). There were certain dialogue pieces that also felt unintentionally funny or cringy:

"the only thing a son can do for his father is pat him on the shoulder...or kill him" - Misato
"Could it be that Shinji's true synchronization rate wasn't zero, but the closest value to zero?" "Yes, his synch rate is infinite." - Ritsuko+Midori :facepalm:
"YUI! YUI! YUI! EVERYONE IS Rei!??!!" - Gendo
"I'm just like you, you're just like my father." - Shinji to Kaworu (make up your mind bud)
"Unit 1 is hope, unit 13 is despair" - kaleidoscope Gendo

The scene where the two Evas fight in Misato's apartment before crashing into a film studio was when I almost lost hope in this franchise.

I'm pretty sure you're mixing dialogues in this case.

That said, the movie makes the point that Shinji, Kaworu and Gendo are similar.

The moment that probably made me laugh loudest is in Rei's Instrumentality scene. The subbed version wasn't particularly funny, but in the English dub, when Shinji tells Rei not to worry, AWL's delivery of "OK, I won't" is perfectly hilarious.

I remember wanting to post this a year ago, but I forgot to do it XD

Asuka powering up just to be outsmarted by Gendo is so funny! Seriously, Gendo and Fuyutsuki made the WILLE crew look like a bunch of idiots with some guns. Two guys, all by themselves, were able to play with an entire army and this scene right here is the culmination of it all.
Shikinami is all like: "Yeah, now I'm going to show you my true powerrrr (*insert annoying teenage screens here*)!!!" And Gendo casually responds with: "You're fucked. haha"

Sakura slapping Shinji as soon as he woke up in the Wunder, because I have two mental images and I don't know which is the funnier: that she patiently waited just beside him for him to wake up in order to slap him, or that she continued her job, still conflicted about how she feels toward him, only to lose it and slap him the second he awoke.

The "best" is that this scene had an insane build-up and hype about it, with Asuka grimly deciding to play her trump card, the immense pain as she removes the mini-pillar in her eye and power-up, Unit 02 glowing in pure power and increasing in size in a display even more impressive than 01 at the end of 2.0 while Mari grimly states that Asuka decided to "sacrifice her humanity" (implying that nothing will be left of her after that)... and then 13 goes "nope", eye-beam it and knock it out without super Unit 02 even having the time to do anything at all!

To make a comparison, it would be as if the first time Goku goes Super Saiyan in DBZ, Freeza just go "cute" and one-shot him.

Technically this didn't happen in the movie itself and is more of just a product of the way scenes are cut together, but the way it immediately cuts from Ritsuko calling Maya to bring Shinji's old Unit 01 plugsuit to Shinji putting on the plugsuit made me wonder if, due to being short on time, Shinji had to get naked in front of everyone to put it on.

Also another one that doesn't actually happen in the movie itself...and that I didn't actually come up with...and might not be as funny if english isn't your primary language...

Ritsuko looking for Eva-13 on Wunder digital monitor using binoculars. I expected no less from Wunder tech :tongue: quoting her again, we can assume that monitor has "the closest value to 0" pixels :shifty:

It's a fun little detail, yeah. Although hypothetically, one could devise a screen that actually has a high enough resolution that this could be viable; the only problem would be the point of focus, for which I am decidedly not enough of a physicist to tell you how that would work :tongue:

All of the things I finished hating at the end
Angel blood injection from the tanks (????)
Eva Imaginary
To me 3.0+1.0 is a wonderful spectacle but with no sauce
besides the meta commentary which is touching
All of the other “deus ex machina/out of the blue stuff” made me giggle at first
Now I simply can’t rewatch the movie without finding those things absolutely dumb

That one makes perfect sense actually! Asuka has been speculated to be connected to the 9th Angel for a long time (in no small part because of an unused cut where the angel talks to her with her own disembodied face), but now between Shiki prime and the entire sequence in much of the same colorcoding as the 9th, Asuka talking about her own ATF (in contrast to 02's) and a couple of other visual hints towards it, the idea seems rather likely that what happens in that scene is not so much Asuka using the angel blood as an external source of powerup so much as rejoining a part of herself (or rather, herselves, what was made of the discarded Shiki clones) that has been elevated to a higher state

He's such a good-looking mad lad, he probably pays child support for the whole village, honestly.

When the Erlosung appears Misato orders Wunder's two starboard guns to fire on it, but the crew fires all four port and starboard guns. They are so sick of Fuyutsuki's bullshit.
