Re: One recurring complaint about EVA I've heard a lot.

People don't suddenly stop caring about their own peoblems because other people have much bigger problems. This applies to both Shinji and the audience. I can't quote on my phone, but someone brought up Episode 24 earlier. By that point in the series, we've spent enough time with Shinji that his pro...

Bullshoot

So, uh, ADV re-recorded a line in the dub of Episode 5 to have Shinji drop a BS bomb. This was years after the original release.

Why would they do that? Shinji saying "bullshit" to two adults/his superiors feels OOC, and it lessens the shock of his F bomb drop in EoE.

Re: Why was Shinji strangling Asuka at the end of EoE?

She gave him, as TV Tropes would call it, a Reason You Suck speech. No one had ever struck him to his core like that before. The fact that he probably agrees with what she said should maje it even worse. I mean, he tried it earlier, after she first gave the speech. So then, when she appeared again, ...

Re: Why didn't Shinji finish Asuka off in EOE?

Because she reminded him why he chose to abort Instrumentality. This is very much up for debate, though. She already addressed him whacking off to her earlier in the film, so I'm inclined to believe that her final line focuses on something different. In my opinion, I think she's referencing the enti...

Re: How many people in this forum would support an Instrumentality for mankind?

I would definitely choose Instrumentality for myself, but for others? Nah. I'm not fit to make that decision. No one man should make a decision that impacts all of humanity.

Re: Not Liking Eva and its Emotional Connection

I'm fine with someone not liking Evangelion , but what really irritates me is when people say they don't like it because the main character isn't some kind of Luke Skywalker, Indiana Jones, Hollywood badass. I did feel that way for the first few episodes, but once I got it, I got it. Bennett the Sag...

Evangelion as Tokusatsu

Sometime recently, I thought to myself "a live-action Evangelion should be done with rubber suits." I don't know how much of Shin Godzilla's titular monster was CG and how much was real, but I know it was a combination of both, and that would definitely work for some of the more humanoid a...

So, uh, who do the Evas fight if the angels are gone? I can tell there are Evas in the story from the pictures I've seen while looking ANIMA up. Also, though this might not have a definitive answer, why is manga more often translated into/licensed in English than light novels? There have been two En...

Re: Whitewashing And Diversity In Hollywood?

Rather, GitS 2017 is a half-decent flick that compares to other mediocre film adaptations. (Think of the film adaptation of The Watchmen, but it's Ghost in the Shell instead.) It's got enough visual call-backs to convince fans that the filmmakers have seen the original(s) and "know what it's a...

I double featured this with Beauty and the Beast , since they're both live-action remakes of animated classics. I wouldn't describe either of them as good, but this one actually had a reason to exist: photorealistically rendering the beautiful imagery from the original. B&TB didn't have much tha...

So about that final shot I think Godzilla was getting ready to evolve into a bunch of tiny lizard people, but of course, he was frozen mid-evolution. If there's a sequel, he's going to be thawed out, and we're gonna deal with some lizard people. The movie wasn't exactly.. positive about ...

Re: Does Shinji ever get the truth about Rei?

Shinji is told the most about Rei's backstory towards the end of Episode 23 when Ritsuko exposition-bombs him and Misato. That, coupled with his experiences with Rei in the previous episodes, is all he really learns about Rei, and it scares him. Everything he sees Rei do in EoE comes almost entirel...

Re: Theoretically, would a Western re-release of Eva be better before or after 4.0?

I would love to see a full blu ray release of the original series dub with it being completely digitally remastered along with EOE before they bring out 4.0 personally rather than re dub of the original series because I don't think it will be the same or feel the same. It not being the same or feel...
