I mean, she saw a giant being of light show up and destroy half the planet with a front row seat while she was attending a mission from NERV where they were fucking about with a giant alien for a few weeks. How could she not connect the dots?

It's not just "Adam-being touching Lilith-being." The resulting fusion needs to have enough power to effect everything on a planet-wide scale, whichrequires a member of the contact to be a fully realized Seed of Life; Adam, Lilith, or both. In Gendo's case, for example, Adam is an embryo u...

Maybe Lilith is just misrepresenting what happened because she's a melodramatic bitch like that.

It's called End of Evangelion.

AT Fields are the product of the soul, which NERV can't artificially produce in any way. And both Rei and Kaworu were top secrets of their respective handlers for their own personal ambitions. If SEELE knew about Rei, for example, they'd probably have her and Gendo killed.

Why not just create an artifical third seed of life and stop third impact, i think i'll call it Allah Beyond the fact that mankind can't really do this, since the Evangelions are effectively the closest they can make to one? Having more than one Seed of Life on the planet is what makes Third Impact...

Does it matter? NERV has an infinite budget.

...? That's a non-sequitor.

Better to have a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not have it.

Probably not. Lilith cells don't seem to give you crazy bullshit powers.

Right, and I'm trying to explain that it simultaneously makes them next to useless against the Angels and makes them apocalyptically dangerous. They effectively would be Angels and would be capable of ending the entire world just by going down a particular elevator shaft.

Why not just create man sized evas, ones that are controled by AI, hell, they could replace human soldiers all together! AT Fields are proportional to the size of the vessel projecting them, which is why the Evas had to be so big in the first place. Rei and Kaworu are the only exceptions because of...

When S2 Engines malfunction, they vaporize entire cities.

A popular headcanon is that they look like Lilin-sized Evangelions.

Yes, but so would a lot of other perfectly effective, more ethical, less expensive, and more easily controllable types of weapons and soldiers. Creating an army of super men each of whom is individually capable of ending the world is excessive overkill for a human enemy.

Think about it, instead of wasting time cloning new beings from adams cells, why not just insert them into human soldiers, it would be less expensive, and you wouldn't have to worry about moody brats! I'm sure there's several reasons why NERV/SEELE don't want effectively a whole army of Tabris ange...

Shinji was eye witness to his mother being absorbed by Unit 01, and thought she died.

Also, Misato was at Ground Zero for Second Impact, where her father and everyone else died horribly.

Yui doesn't want Third Impact at all; all her schemes are based around rejecting and reversing it should it be inevitably invoked by one of the other factions.

And yea, it's not so much whether she needs Shinji so much as he's her son, and she wants him to be A) safe, and B) happy.

Rei's true nature is a well-kept secret from SEELE because Gendo plans to use her to betray them and seize Third Impact for himself. Kaworu, being an Angel and also Adam, was loyal to the Angels until the last moments of his life, and if he was the last Angel standing there'd be no way to kill him, ...

Color me convinced.
