I would like to see, once there is a release date set, is perhaps a series of short films set in the Rebuild world a la the short films made for the upcoming Blade Runner sequel.

I second this. The post 3I world feels like too big a place not to explore it. So much potential for Anno to hand it off to others to flesh out the world dare I say Eva Cinematic Universe (o ho ho).
Leave Shinji alone

I just had a showerthought: if the movie doesn't contain at least one "anta baka?!" or "baka-Shinji" I'll be extremely sad. Gaki doesn't have the same ring as baka, and I need one more "baka" by Asuka in my life.

The fun part?

"Gaki" could be tranlated as "brat"... But also as "ghoul". And how does Shinji look at the end of Q?

I wonder which "gaki" will be more prevalent in FINAL...

Shinjis face falls into The Uncanny Valley all the time in this movie.

Also. Well not in the movie itself I really hope FUNimation can put the " until you come to me" short on the American DVD when final is eventually released.

I just want Shinji to come back from the brink if he can. This point I don't even care how.

Just rewatched 2.22 and 3.33 this morning-afternoon.... From the 3.0 trailer I think I’m more curious now about Kaji (and possibly it could relate to who killed him in the tv series).

Even if they show the assassination of Kaji (and even if they show the identity of his killer) I don't think this would really say anything about his death in NGE. Also, it is assumed that it was just some killer working for Seele, nobody who had screen time on the show.

I want dat sweet Anno cinematography, and I know I'm getting that. Same with Shiro Sagisu's music.

As to the story, I also would like Asuka's backstory. The film will probably be a character study, so that should be easy to naturally fit in. And just in general I feel like this movie should just make clear what the Rebuild is about and how everything ties together.
I care less about exposition about the 14 years and stuff like that. If it's used for the characters and themes of the movie go ahead though.
But some mysteries in Eva is always fun.

I hope they visit the South Pole. :w00t:
Some flashbacks (from the timeskip between 2.22 and 3.33 or a more detailed view about Second Impact) would be nice.

An explanation for the SDAT side plot, Rei Q further developing a personality (I'm personally hoping she becomes more like her Angelic Days incarnation), Mari (or any of the characters) having any sort of backstory or real character development, redesigned and updated Eva Series Units, Kaji, Misato's reaction to learning Shinji is still alive, Gendo breaking into WILLE and piloting Unit 01, causing it to burst out of the WUNDER, Kaworu returning and being a badass, Mari having any sort of personality at all, more Sakura (it's like she was introduced just because people were excited for the new character Mari, OH WAIT, SHE WAS), Anno shitting all over fans of the Rebuilds and ruining everything. New Theatrical is just a clusterfuck at this point, there's no way Anno can successfully salvage it and explain everything, and tell explicitly what happened during the 14 year time-skip, AND give at least Shinji, Asuka, Misato, Rei, and Rei Q happy endings within two hours.

TOP 10 SCARIEST ANIME THEORIES Shinji WAS DEAD THE WHOLE TIME OOOOOO

(To be honest, I do think it's perfectly possible (at least in Neon Genesis) that everything that went down was Shinji in purgatory. As seen during End of Evangelion, Rei appears split seconds before death, and in the very first episode, after Shinji hangs up the phone, he turns his head and sees a Rei, then shit hits the fan. It could be that everything that happened was Shinji learning to love and accept himself after an untimely death just before going to meet and work with his father, so that his soul could move on and either go to an afterlife, or be reincarnated.)

Do it like what Sonic Mania did when they referenced that disastrous 25th anniversary stream, put the release dates of Q and 3.0+1.0 on a headstone or something, "here lies everything Neon Genesis stood for".

It's not like he needs to do this.
The reason Rebuild is a "clusterfuck" is that it works symolically. Of course it's weird. That doesn't mean there isn't a cohesive logic to it.
The 14 year events should be portrayed if Anno feels they are relevant in some way, otherwise I don't mind.

Also, why do all characters, for example Misato, need a happy ending in the last film?
Remember her End of Eva happy ending?
I think people are forgetting what Eva is like.
The characters are examples of personality issues.
In the end what matters is that through Shinji we see a beam of light so to speak.

I'd like to experience the same feelings of fear, depression, and wonder that I felt the first time I saw the fight-less mid-part of Q, and also that sense of anything-is-possible-at-this-point present in EoE.

and after that, a 12 episode show on the events of the time skip asd

There's an enormous difference in tone between Neon Genesis and New Theatrical. Even though New Theatrical begins getting pretty dark around the point Bardiel shows up, it's still very optimistic compared to Neon Genesis. The darkest it gets is at the end of Q, when everything Shinji has ever fought for and his hope for restoring the world is completely gone, which is about on the level of End of Evangelion, but I highly doubt Anno is going to kill everyone again.

I agree it seems to be more optimistic, but that doesn't mean we'll see these happy endings on-screen. They might be implied, but I'm sure the characters will mostly go through a rough time.
The one character that will probably have a proper conclusion is Shinji.
Shinji: "Sooner or later I'll be betrayed... And they'll leave me. Still... I want to meet them again, because I believe my feelings at that time were real."
Ryuko: "I'm gonna knock ya on your asses!"

Do all those characters(especially the members of WILLE) really deserve a happy ending?

I know Shinji could use one, not sure about the others though.

Here's my wishlist :
- Some Asuka background, we don't have much for now,
- Rei 3 becoming a completely different person than Rei 2,
- Some closure for Rei 2 (I don't believe we're entirely done with her... hey, maybe her merging with Yui-sama has given her god powers and she's now Quantum Rei! DA DA DUN! :w00t: ) Although tey're probably thousands of background elements that prevent this theory from being true...
- Seeing what happened to Kaji, Pen Pen and Shinji's classmates,
- Mark 06 returns in some way. I refuse to accept that this awesome design was waisted for a post-credit scene, Angelic possession and decapitation! :angry:
- If we have Insrumentality, I'd want something different than EoE. After all, it's the point of Rebuild : making different things.
- Shinji reconciling with his friends,
- A happy ending. Not care bears, unicorns and Nyan Cat, but at least not some bleak and nihilistic ending,
- Shinji and Yui-sama kicking Neo-Nerv's ass with "A cruel Angel's thesis" as the background music. This is unquestionable.

But what will probably happen will be a mindrape sequence with live action, CGI and storyboards as visuals, and an extremally deep psychological meaning. :pwnd:

Asuka's past is something that is strangely missing from the movies so far, my theory is that she's either gonna talk about it in the desert now that she's dragging Shinji around or Shinji may see it during instrumentality and it will be a way to connect with her.

I've thought of those two things specificay as well ^
Shinji: "Sooner or later I'll be betrayed... And they'll leave me. Still... I want to meet them again, because I believe my feelings at that time were real."
Ryuko: "I'm gonna knock ya on your asses!"
