^Because of Shinji. Can't blame them. Also, since even Shinji accepts the choker at the end of the movie, it's safe to say that Anno thinks that WILLE is for the most part justified in their treatment of the pilots. Motto is "mission over human life" after all and the pilots just have to a...

Where does "This is the dream, beyond belief..." play in the movie?

In that same elevator scene you have Rei mentioning that you can find happiness even without the Eva, foreshadowing Shinji's Neon Genesis in 3.0+1.0.

It seems to me that this scene is all about symbolism and metalanguage. It uses imagery to convey ideas and concepts that goes beyond what's literal. The same thing goes to Shinji and Asuka's farewell. That beach meant nothing to these "new characters". That said, the audience has an emot...

I think ElMariachi means what their relationship could have become without the events at the end of Ha. In Ha, their relationship wasn't so close, but it was good enough and Misato supports Asuka at some level. However, after the Near Third Impact and the Third Impact, their relationship must have ...

The fact their relationship is strictly professional is in itself a sign that things soured between them, since before she was on the way to become a surrogate daughter like Shinji was. 3.0+1.0 (and the entire movie series) only draws surrogate mother and child pararells between Shinji and Misato (...

Honestly that makes me wish that we got some scenes between Asuka and Misato in Shin, because there's obviously a lot of emotional baggage between those two. Based on the script, Asuka seems to not be bothered about Wille/Misato distrusting her and there doesn't seem to be anything between the two ...

Honestly I don't know where the ressources come from, they were complaining about the repair costs of unit 01/00 during the first movie and the tv show. In the original series, they end up building 7 eva series by combining ressources from multiple rich countries. Here, they build like hundreds, if...

Also I still don't understand how it's possible so many infinities were in terminal dogma... why would so many people be in there? Or maybe they spontaneously popped up there during third impact? Also none of them seem to be in Paris. I think the movie mentions that infinities were wandering to cer...

I have to see the movie first before I make my mind about that scene, but I like the idea of the scene since it seems to pararell Toji punching Shinji in 1.0 for piloting the Eva and hurting his sister (In Sakura's case it's Shinji piloting an Eva and killing her dad). It also seems to showcase how ...

Every episode, even episodes 7 and 10 contain at least one or more plot or character crucial information so no, don't skip any. However, in an ideal world I would definitely prefer if Action arc was similar in structure to Prologue arc and Descent arc which had constant character and plot/lore progr...

I would had really loved to see a scene of her and Shinji talking to know each others more (especially since Sakura seems to be his assigned medic and the only person besides Asuka and Mari in the mood to talk to him), to have Shinji apologize for not listening to her and the suffering he brought t...

Since Gendo is trying to recreate the conditions from the second impact I think the original Adams plus 4 spears, just like Opfer (sacrifice) units 9-12 plus 2 spears and 2(?) spears of the black moon were sacrificed to achieve the impact, minus unit-13 which seems to be one of the Adams that surviv...

They were scrapped for a reason, most weren't what the directors were looking for.

I think those coffins/Kaworu appear on the moon when 2nd impact/instrumentality happened in this current loop.
In other timelines they probably appear in different locations.

If you ask me, I think that Unit-01 and Mark.06 were never Adams, but Lilith's clones. But I think that the Key is still related to them, just like Evangelion 13 is. In the epicenter of the 2nd Impact, there are 4 identical crosses and a fifth one bigger than the others. Evangelion 13 and the Key m...

Greetings everyone! I’m back with another summary of an eye’s only youtube video that explains how deicide/ the power to kill a god is used in Shin Eva. This topic also answers some questions about the Adams, Eva Opfer Types, Nerv Battleships etc which grew out of this topic by EGF user Cookie H Wi...

But he didn't really cause it. At least, I don't think he did? I mean, Kaworu throws that spear to disable Unit 1, and then the next thing we see of Third Impact is Unit 6 and Lilith combined, in a way that makes it clear at least a few months have passed. Since these two movies seems to hammer the...

Is there explanation or implication for why Shinji has purple eyes in the movie?

We know that Eva 13 is "one of the surviving Adams", so it could be the fifth central Adam. No clue why it needs two pilots. Maybe it requires the soul of Kaworu (the soul of Adam) to work properly and another pilot to effectively pilot it. Nothing in these movies have implied that it nee...
