Well, as far as I am concerned, I am used to do that kind of jungian analysis on other mythes, and it always was fruitful is term of meaning and insights. So why not? Once you accept there could me more truths in something than what was in the author's conscious mind, the possibilities are limi...

I think he demonstrated a sensivity to the beauty of the relation between K and S, that can not be taken otherwise. That is too much for a straight guy. This just in: Humans incapable of putting themselves in the shoes of other humans and thinking of things from their perspectives. Gays cannot writ...

Most of what Shinji did was basically an accident, so he can't really be held morally accountable due to being an ignorant pawn. He can basically only be held accountable for what he consciously and intentionally did in the heat of the moment of fighting Zeruel.

Didn't the Adam Embryo have an S2 Engine? Isn't that support for the idea that a Lilin body can support one?

I mean, that's what I meant to say, sorry.

Inserting Shinji!Leliel right after Yui makes contact with Shinji!Shinji seems like way too much of a non sequitur for that to be what they were actually going for... On one level, it's probably supposed to be a fuzzily remembered memory on Shinji's part. He's showing a marble to his mo...

Life involves souls leaving Lilith's vagina and taking form.

Instrumentality involves souls losing form and entering Lilith's vagina.

Somehow I don't think Instrumentality can be considered 'life' or 'something the FAR would be cool with.'

The idea of Leliel offering it's life to Yui does appeal to me a lot, to be honest. Leliel did seem significantly bro-level in it's mental contact compared to Arael and Armisael.

And how do you know Seele's ultimate goal isn't the fruition of the FAR's plan? It's impossible to know what the FAR intended for this particular branch of Humanity. Hell, we don't know that they intended anything! For all we know they might have just been hedging their bets and...

God forbid the characters be reimagined and reinterpretted for an entirely new work of fiction telling an entirely new story with entirely new themes.

It's not like the Eva series hasn't done this with spin-offs for over 20 years at this point.

"Hey, Asuka, sorry, you'll need to make your own lunch today, I have to head out."
"Oh yea, what for?"
"Visiting my mother's...grave. With my father."

I kind of have to second the idea of Asuka and Mari getting it on while Shinji masturbates in the closet.

I thought it was pretty obvious that Rei, despite the gaps in her memory, was able to make the connection that of the two Ikaris, only one of them actually cared about her well-being and showed her any genuine human decency, and it wasn't the dude copping her tit like he owned it.

Maybe Lilith can sync with all lilin souls the way Adam can sync with all of his clone bodies?

. Instrumentality happened in EoTV and continued on into 2016, EoE instrumentality seemed like it happened within a day or two. Uh...it begins in 2016 in both versions. . In EoTV Gendo initiated third impact but in EoE Shinji initiated third impact. Again, in both versions Gendo sort of starts it u...

In Neon Genesis, Asuka was the one who forced Shinji to cause 3I during Pre-Instrumentality while Rei just gave him as much control as possible over this event as long as he is able to do so. In Rebuild it might end different this time while the key people are the same. So what you're saying is...

Because I blatantly and openly admit that it's an 'impossible headcanon' and didn't notice you make the same concession.

Not the point. Given the extent to which the Kaji-Kaworu parallelism is enforced (documented extensively by me in that old Kaworu-Katsuragi thread), I think it deserves to be given a bit more thought than what you're providing here. If you think "idealized dream hubbies" is th...

Yea and like...Almost none of that is genetic? Mannerisms, expressions, pose, and clothing style are all behavioral traits that aren't really hereditary except for maybe mannerisms and expression, but even then if there's any intended parallel it's because they're both idealized drea...

I know Kaji and Misato's father probably didn't look THAT similar, but the insistence on comparing Kaji and Kaworu kind of bugs me because they have clearly different facial structure. Their chins and cheeks are different and their ears have different shapes. Kaworu's nose is also more p...
