The animators haven't been strangers to making design changes between the trailers and the actual movies. You can see a lot of that between the "Next Time" preview for 2.0 and the actual movie: different design for Unit-05, different look for the Adams, and some clips that weren't...

How come people believe that Mari's Eva will be Unit-08? I thought Eva-08 had purple markings, a horn and the "anchor-face". Mari's has green markings, no noticeable horn and a different face with mulitple eyes.

Is it just me or does the silhouette to brunette's immediate left (the blue silhouette) look a bit like Misato wearing a Russian hat and thigh-high boots? It looks like a female character and it's standing fairly close to the Eva pilots, which suggests that it's an important char...

It could be pink for all we know. It IS pink (assuming that's Unit 07 of course). This is the new official trailer released on November 1st. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqI_l5lYVQA It seems the Mari's piloting the pink Eva. More scenes of the Asuka battle. I'm not sure who sh...

I thought Provisional Unit-05 had half of its body intact but its legs were replaced with four prosthestics. Or am I wrong?

They probably researched the S² Engine with Tunniel (they reduced it to bones, so I guess they probably have a great deal of data on it) and experimented on it with Eva-04, which wasn't a success. The Second Impact-like crater explosion caused by Eva-04 heavily implies that it was an S² ...

I don't really believe the Rebuild=sequel theories, but this one does makes some sense. Personally I think that Provisional Unit 05 could correspond to the MP Eva Asuka ripped in half, as it's only half of an Eva, with the rest of its body replaced by prosthetics, suggesting that they couldn...

I always assumed she thought she was fighting humans, which was the reason she never tries to destroy the MP Evas completely (and thus doesn't manage to take out their cores). Instead she just severely damages them, which would kill or incapacitate a human pilot. If she had known she was...

I think they're roughly even, Asuka was just at a disadvantage because she didn't have a limitless battery (and took too long to reach powerless beserk). The MP Evas have the Spear replicas, so they can neutralise any AT Field they come across, have a limitless battery and no moral r...

Does Asuka caressing Shinji's cheek imply that she still has feelings for him? Even though it seems like she still has feelings for Shinji, immediately afterwards she says "I feel sick" (in "the coldest voice possible"), which seems to be directed at Shinji. It seems ...
