@Stillborn So choosing to give humanity a sliver of hope after all they've done is hate and reject you is cowardice? So choosing to not hurt another human being instead of committing murder is undignified? How to give Gendo an undignified death. . . have him be killed mid word while giving his b...

@Elmariachi The one thing that was lacking in EOE (for me at least) was the lack of a final face to face confrontation between Gendo and Shinji. I'm not asking for Shinji to try and stab him like he did in the Manga, or Shinji to give a long rant about how he ruined his life, but I would...

Why does every supernatural romance have to be compared to . . . That? There ought to be a Godwin's law about referring to Twilight. No Asuka? Aw man. . . If Kaworu knocked her up, Seele would probably use their baby to create the Eva-Verses equivalent of the Anti-Christ or some other crazy mess...

My idea for Gendos end. . .is that Shinji lets him live for all the right reasons. But letting him live is a worse punishment than death.

I wish Aki Chan was canon so much right now. 3.0 Shinji needs comfort . . .

Loving it! Looking forward to seeing Misato confront Kaji about the baby.

Someone, please make this Fanfic a reality. If it exists already please give me a link. Figures, Canon Shinji doesn't get any happiness not even a fleeting glimpse. At least Fem Shin got a kiss. How would female Shinji react to his inevitable betrayal however? Hell hath no fury like a woman scor...

This is a sign from God! LIKE THE BURNING BUSH! Except it's a giant robot and Shinji's not Moses.

All I want is a happy ending for Shinji. I think all the fanbase in general wants for Shinji is a happy ending. An absolute, Iron Clad, Non-Esoteric, happy ending. God knows the kids earned it. Here in the states, Dark Horse released a comic book based upon George Lucas original script for Star Wars...

In the sense that he always rewrites things 1000 times. Compare proposal to finished product, or earlier 2.0 scripts to later ones. He could probably give Asuka lessons in perfectionism... This fills me with both horror and hope. I think I feel better now. . . at least it will be a decent film, eve...

My guess? Kaworu Thought he was being honest. But was deceived and tricked, just like Shinji.

Gendo is one magnificent bastard. Tricking a deity. The devil is clapping in applause at his achievement.

If it was only Shinji getting gender bent (as in an AU where he was born a she). How would that effect her relationship with Kaworu? Would she be distant from him, infatuated, genuinely in love?

Did you click the link to the fanart? It's in the OP. Big Macho body Builder robot for the Yui/Gendo Switch? Okay. . . maybe something a touch more in canon then. If Rei or Shinji got contaminated in the Bardiel incident instead of Asuka. Or if Rei or Asuka set off N3I and Shinji was the one liv...

@Mariachi I bet Anno's consistently refreshing the page and taking notes right now. Okay I' adding THAT to the list of worst case scenarios When you make it THAT depressing, Shinji pulling a Booker Dewitt is the least terrible out of all the options I've listed. Maybe that's how 4.0 ...

@Kendrix I didn't mean it like that. . . I've personally had issues with suicidal thoughts. but I managed to overcome it. I found a reason for living, and I choose to continue. I call it despicable, because I don't want anyone to have to go through that. the isolation, the loneliness, th...

That's the opposite of the Brazil ending. in Brazil, the character gets exactly what he wants, just in the realm of his mind, and not in the Real world.

That's overtly pessimistic. . . but this is the worst case scenario thread.

A fanfic based upon this artwork:

Think of it as one of the AU's Shinji dreamed up during instrumentality.

Role Reversal

@Nem Z That's the Time Loop variant of the Dieu Ex Machina ending. I wouldn't mind a Dieu ex machina ending if it was handled well enough, or used as a metaphor for a religious experience or something along those lines. @CJD He's an artist, and as such it's hard to predict what will ...

Just flip the roles of a few characters if you must, not everyone has to be changed. Also if this theoretical AU was like the original artwork indicates, Shinji and Yui would still be son and mother, and likely have major conflicts over Misato (outside of a workplace scenario mind you). Just...

Ever see Terry Gilliam's Brazil? Theres an ending in that film where the main character has an ending like that, but its also kind of a happy ending. It's kind've like the last two episodes of NGE in that respect. Basically, after being pushed past a breaking point. With his GF being tak...

You madman! You've jinxed us all!

Seriously though, if that happens. . .I'd cry.

I recommend keeping all discussions In verse.
