So.. does that make RoE a deconstruction of a deconstruction or is the word deconstruction just done to death now? ;) I think I said somewhere it's kind of like a reversal on the deconstruction but Paracletus has illustrated it so well I don't really have anything to add. Hell, i'm a...

It's told almost entirely from one perspective and as a result comes across as confusing, contradictory and is a massive break from prior movies. That's why it's so polarizing. I'm not commenting on whether it's good or bad in this case. It's just really different. Where the ...

But still it doesn't change the fact that if Q!Kaworu isn't the same that in Jo and Ha(meaning a clone without the originals' soul transfered into it, like Rei Q who is not Rei III) but a copy with fake memories implanted into it, that would completely destroy the power of Kawor...

I don't think too that the Kaworu from Q is another than the one in Jo and Ha, if only for the reason I also posted in the topic "Filling the gap" : it would completely destroy the power of Shinji's and Kaworu's friendship in Q since the Kaworu in there would be a fake one cre...

New gap filling theory inspired by the Kaworu theory thread currently on page 1. Mark 06, when it launched at the end of 2.22, was piloted by Kaworu. Mari and Asuka had briefly met this pilot, because at some point the 11th Angel came and went and one would think they fought and defeated it together...

Is there any evidence for that which couldn't be explained as little more than a change in art style? 14 years sitting around a ruined NERV base didn't drive him absolutely bonkers? But seriously... that's the alternative. If Kaworu in 3.33 is the same Kaworu we saw at the end of 2.22, ...

This. All he's telling the EVA is "pwn Angel and check if anything remains of Rei." The EVA is responding to that, but I don't think Shinji was aware of the specifics. It's not even that complicated. To start with he's thinking "that thing ate Rei, she's in there&...

We don't know that, a still shot of Lilith during N3I doesn't prove or even hint at anything. If anything the complete lack of any sort of reaction or movement from Lilith suggests non-involvement. Lilith in 3.33 isn't wearing her (?) mask anymore. The shot in 2.22 shows the mas...

It makes a lot more sense if you ignore the final bit after the credits. I did that on a recent re-watch with friends (it was their first time seeing 3.33, not mine). We rewatched 2.22 as a refresher - they'd seen all of it - before diving into 3.33, and I deliberately stopped playback ...

But if Kaji knew that Shinji was goaded into triggering N3I(which he was !), then why did he said nothing to the rest of WILLE? Because they weren't treating him like an unwitting pawn, more like a willing collaborator or some nihilistic madman.(in short, his EoE pre-Instrumentality...

I think there's an excellent point buried up there about the relative calmness of Kaji (and Gendo + Fuyutsuki) relative to, say, Ritsuko. Ritsuko is going on about the end of the world. Gendo and Fuyutuski are watching and congratulating themselves. Kaji is watching and speculating on Se...

Shinji actually has a great deal of fortitude for refusing the order. In a similar situation, most people will what the authority figure tells them, especially if that authority figure absolves them of responsibility. Actually his refusal is kind of exceptional, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mi...

The cyclic aspect was hinted at from the first film, but I highly doubt Khara had a solid idea of the 3.0 plot before 2.0 was completed. No, probably not, but by the sounds of it Anno had some sort of a drastic "narrative break" idea from pretty early along. Maybe the timeskip, but not mu...

The interview with the Kaworu VA alludes to "cycles" of Evangelion, not the sequel theory mind you. And according to his interview he got taken aside pretty early by Anno and knew a lot of what was coming while others were kept in the dark. Maybe 3.33 wasn't just pulled out of a back p...
