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.

Both use a heavy amount of Judeo Christian Aesthetics Symbolism, and names. both have very flawed complex tortured main characters, both deal with heavy topics like fate vs free will, family, alienation and guilt, both have epic OSTs. . . and that's just the tip of the iceberg!

That is horribly dark. . .

When you put it like THAT, I guess we should be glad we at least get 4.0.

That is either the dumbest, or most badass thing I have ever heard.

Anyway worst case scenario, take your pick or create your own.

Just think of it as an interesting writing exercise. A world that could've been. . . like the photo.

So your worst case scenario ending would be the EOE rehash ending? How would you have the movies end? I hope Anno has a plan (though I doubt it) because I honestly cannot see a satisfactory ending. Maybe this article will make the ending we do get seem good when compared when what we could h...

First and foremost. I am truly happy that even after the controversy that 3.0 dregged up and spilled all over the fanbase that there are still Eva fans who hope for Shinji to get a happy ending. I am truly glad that there are some people who choose to be optimistic, even in the face of Human Instrum...

This is the happiest thing. . .ever! http://i.imgur.com/wWa4HFm.jpg Hey, I might look like Rei but my name is Ray, hows it hanging? Anyway recently I've been reading a lot about gender bending fanfics, but most of them tend to fall flat since they fail to take into account the changes the charac...

Just a thought. . . anyway some of us would prefer Shinji get Catharsis of some kind.

I imagine the discussion goes something like this. Misato: Listen you brat! Shinji: No! You listen! Damn you Misato! Damn you to hell! Damn you and everyone else! You and your stupid collar killed Kaworu! You killed Kaworu! YOU KILLED KAWORU! (Cracks glass) . . It should have been me! It sho...

@ Pen-Pen If Shinji does survive. He's never going to be normal again, much less find love. I can see him becoming a very bitter, jaded person give him a few years. Even if he doesn't become evil he's still going to be a very Gendo like character. Wouldn't it be ironic if he said Gen...

Someone on another thread said that what to do with Kaworu's remains could be a source of strain between Misato and Shinji in 4.0. If she showed "callousness or even relief over his death", Shinji would likely lose it and try to throttle Misato. Course he would likely either stop befor...

Hello, my name is Ray. Been an Eva fan for a long time but only joined the site recently. Sup? Anyway, there is one flaw in the entire plot of Evangelion that I have a hard time thinking up a solution to. The issue is, if Aliens really were invading, like the Angels in the series were with intent on...

I imagine in 4.0 Shinji comes within inches of killing Gendo, but relents at the last second. Shinji does it for all the right reasons but something in the plot makes letting Gendo live a worse punishment than death. That's how I would write it anyway. Death is too good an ending for Gendo, afte...

Not in the eyes of Shinji perhaps, but in the eyes of the audience. I still think the bomb collar was going too far. But again I'll wait until 4.0 to judge completely. To keep this thread from going completely off track. I dont like the fact that Anno pretty much broke every shippers heart with ...

I've been enjoying it so far. . . The Time loop theory being played for horror. That has a whole host of possibilities I'd love to see.

I hope you get around to translating the rest. I can't wait.

Nothing can replace the Impact in the original series. That was horrifying on so many levels. 3rd Impact in 2.0? Meh, pretty but it lacks the apocalyptic horror and nihilistic existential terror that made the original 3rd impact such a memorable thing.

Bioshock is to videogames what Eva is to Anime.
