(Warning: Wall of Text) I've been running into a few people that have often complained about the abundance of characters whose motivations are basically "my childhood sucked so I want to end the world!". There's various permutations of this (rape's become more commo...

Well, gee, thanks. I've never choked on air before.

True, but the combined angst of the Eva cast would either supercharge Silent Hill or short it out from an overload.

Plus it'd be a fun ride.

I've mentioned this before, but I'd love to see Tokyo-3 hit with a zombie apocalypse. I just wanna see how they'd survive.

I'd like to see a video game (WITH SOME EFFORT PUT IN) following the narrative that adapted the various other spinoff materials (Girlfriend of Steel, the various Manga, Rebuild, etc.) along with the original show to give us a distillation of the story in a new form. The game shou...

It's actually flat out saying that there is no user named CyberXIII when I try to recover my password. Is there a way it got deleted not by you guys but by something else?

It's probably because of my extended absence, but could I get my profile reinstated? It seems to have withered and died while I was gone.

Being designed to do something and actually pulling it off are two different things entirely. Nerv had clearly no idea how powerful the Angels really were, so they just went for a general anti-giant monster route that failed horribly. The Angels have been proven to be adaptive and intelligent. Sachi...

The cast would probably band together and proceed to savagely butcher Anno for more or less ruining their lives and their backstories.

Huh. I figured there was a logical reason for it, but the only reason I brought it up in the first place is because of what she pulls in EoE after ostensibly saving everyone.

This is something that occurred to me a little while ago during a fanfic binge. The scene was more or less an analysis of how crazy Rit-chan was after the Armisael debacle and when she finally snapped. The fallout of this was, of course, her destroying the Rei copies before breaking down sobbing. No...

@BC Baron
I agree wholeheartedly.

The only caveat I have with that is that Yui and Gendo can't take all the blame for the mess the world's in right now. There's a bunch of old men who should have been shot years ago that deserve it more.

I'm going to jump back in here now. Anywho, it's not so much that Gendo's a monster as it is he's a callous, ruthless bastard. Touji lived, yes, but he's crippled and he may as well be dead considering we never see him again. The problem for me wasn't so much that Touji almos...

@Reichu ...Which other thread, Queenie? @FreakyFilmFan4ever You do realize that somebody watched the Gendo/Rei scene and probably discovered a new fetish. Rule34 and all that. @AuraTwilight No, during the Bardiel fight Shinji was only aware of what the NERV superiors told him, which was frighteningl...

...But isn't all that what I just said?

I said he was innocent in Episode 1, not later, When the hell was he ready to doom the entire human race for his own sake? What, you mean when he was willing to die rather than kill someone else? On top of that, he doesn't know that the Angels will destroy everything if they reach NERV. He never...

He didn't do anything to the human race during Third Impact. Rei did all of that Third Impact stuff for Shinji, and Gendo became a victim of Rei's version of Third Impact. The series never suggests what Gendo's Third Impact would be like for the rest of the human race. It only states th...

@FreakyFilmfan4ever The Bardiel fight wasn't the worst thing he's done. The worst thing he's done is a tossup between what he did to Shinji, what he did to Rei, or what he did in EoE to the entire human race. He had help from a lot of sources but he was the one that instigated Third Impa...

Hi, OP here. Well, first I probably shouldn't have been so lazy with my first post. Let me be frank. I can't stand Gendo Ikari. He's a deadbeat father, and a ruthless old bastard who should have been shot years ago. Actually I take that back. He just needs an asskicking. SEELE needs to b...

Classifying people based on D&D alignments doesn't really work because 99% would fall into neutral evil.

Only if you're a cynic or a misanthrope.

The title says it all. Without a doubt, Gendo's one of the most conflicted, misunderstood, complicated characters in the whole franchise. Some say he's a horrible monster who should have been put down a long time ago (I used to be in this category), others say he's a sympathetic ...
