Re: Evangelion: 3.0 (-46h)

We already kinda do know who Mari is: it can be inferred with pretty high certainty that she was a scientist pretty high up in the NERV hierarchy who was directly involved with the development of the Evangelions. What is unclear is how Mari ended up in her current state. Something like that though ...

Re: Evangelion: 3.0 (-46h)

You think we'll ever get something like this explaining who or what Mari is? A short film like this would be perfect for something like that. Give us just enough information, but not too much.

Since when? This is the first time I'm hearing about this. What's the logic and evidence behind this theory?

Re: Mari’s “first time piloting Eva”

Is this line the ONLY mention of it being the first time of anything? If I remember, there was also a line later (I think after she ejects) where she says something along the lines of "nobody told me it would be this rough", also implying that she has never experienced piloting an EVA bef...

Re: Is Mari a clone?

If adults can pilot Evas that just opens up a whole bunch more questions than we started with, but "who can be a pilot" is already a confusing question in the Rebuilds. Not to mention that also kind of presents a huge plot hole for the entire Rebuild series, because if they could just hav...

Re: Is Mari a clone?

Could she perhaps be both? A clone body with the memories and personality of the original Mari implanted into her.

Re: Sooooo....no Blu-ray release?

Maybe Anno and Khara is tinkering with a bit and adding some extra stuff and minor corrections or changes, similar to the 2.22 and 3.33 versions of 2.0 and 3.0, and that's why it's taking so long for the Blu-Ray to come out.

Re: The Last Train Station Scene

There is nothing implied in any material that she is not the same or that she is not the one from Gendo’s memories. Mari calls Gendo “Gendo-Kun” and in her dialogue with fuyutsuki it is clearly implied she is the same. She might be or not a clone, but even if she is, she is the same person we see i...

Re: The Last Train Station Scene

Mari is implied to be the new guardian in a visual and in a plot-wise way. She had some kind of role that way with Asuka and it is extended to Shinji at the end after Misato’s sacrifice. Besides, Mari does not have the same age as Shinji. We see Mari in previous scenes of Gendo’s life, and she is e...

Re: Do I just not understand Mari's point?

What I wonder is when did Khara decided to make her from Gendo's generation and a much more important player in the behind-the-curtain stuff: was it just after Ha, or somewhere between Q and Thice? Something tells me that idea probably came from Sadamoto. In his manga, Mari is also revealed to be p...

Re: Why EVA Mark.06 name Mark.06 instead Unit-06

Maybe Mark refers to Evas that are autonomous and don't have pilots? Mark.06 originally had a pilot, but the final intent of Seele could have been for it to eventually become fully autonomous. Kaworu piloting it at the end of 2.0 could have just been due to the fact that it was an emergency and they...

Re: Do I just not understand Mari's point?

It would parallel the themes of the other two Rebuild clones though. Rei, a clone that eventually discovers her own purpose and a place to belong. Asuka, a clone that eventually discovers her own purpose and a place to belong. And now Mari, a clone that eventually discovers her own purpose and a pla...

Re: Do I just not understand Mari's point?

I have my own theory regarding what Mari is. I suspect that the Mari we see in the current time might actually a clone, just like Rei and Asuka. Rei, Asuka, and Mari all have last names ending in "nami" which could be to denote them as clones. Asuka's last name in the original was Soryu, b...

Re: How do you feel about Shinji ending up with Mari?

Why do you assume it's for good? shin made kind of a big deal out of "'goodbye' is a phrase you say so you can meet again" Not only that, there's also what Kaworu said to Shinji in 3.0 before he died. That they'll meet again. For all we know, after leaving the Anti-Universe, Shinji and Ma...

Re: How do you feel about Shinji ending up with Mari?

After recently binging all four Rebuild films, I noticed a few things I never did before, particularly in regards to Shinji and Mari and how there might actually be more to build up to their relationship than we thought. If you watch all four movies in succession like I did, you'll notice some subtl...

Re: How do you feel about Shinji ending up with Mari?

If we think about the epilogue romantically, Shinji is pretty much the damsel in distress of the story. The only reason we are given as viewers for him to fall for Mari is her being nice to him and her saving him. If the genders were reversed we'd be talking a lot more about this. Reminds me of Mar...

PLESE, EVERYBODY, DO NOT USE FULL QUOTES ALL THE TIME. - Derantor After thinking about it for a while, it seems that the relationship between the two is similar to Misato and Kaji. Shinji in this case is Misato and Mari in this case is Kaji. the parallels are quite strong, Misato the only survivor ...

Could be Gendo talking about Yui (probably the likeliest), or Shinji either of the three OG love interests. (all of whom he does eventually meet again & get some closure with) Mari hasn't really been separated from anyone that she cares about. It could have fit for Mari if the theory of Shinji ...

You know, I can picture Shinji and Mari going on a world tour after Shin to discover (or rediscover in Mari's case) the repaired world, I can also picture Mari dumping trivias on all the places they visit (that she read about in books), sometimes even in the local language just to flex her knowledg...

Re: How do you feel about Shinji ending up with Mari?

Maybe Asuka doesn't consider herself a Lilin because she is a clone? Mari too I guess if she is indeed a clone like Asuka.
