Evangelion is, metaphorically, the story of a kid growing up with the sadbrains and having the incredible responsibility of adulthood thrust upon him that he can't escape.

EoE is when that kid snaps and becomes a school shooter.

EoE is more akin to metanoia I think : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metanoia_(psychology)

Isn't that more like that government guy in EoE who has the big pendulum and talks to the woman about nuking the gently caress out of tokyo 3?

To be honest it's been too long since I've seen EoE to remember that in much detail off of the top of my head. Do you have a screengrap or clip for comparison?

I liked the delivery of that line. The character is an example of the dispassionate actions of the subordinates of the figures of power in the hierarchical power structure.

The army guys who attack nerv, Rei, Ritsuko to an extent, Shinji to an extent, the mass production evas.

There are characters who are not that way and feel a strain against what they feel is expected of them and their own desires. This manifests itself in Ritsuko, Rei and Shinji, but it exists more commonly in Misato, Asuka, Kaji, for example.

There's a very brief and extremely easy to miss shot of one of the MP evas landing on and crushing a soldier attempting to carry another wounded soldier. This symbol of love is smashed by the symbol of obedience. The soldiers were before shown as dispassionate murderers following orders from their masters, but when they turn against that they are destroyed by others in their same place.

If the Eva pilots don't age does that mean they won't die from "old age"? That gives an interesting "literal" side to the interpretation of the 3 kids. Or uh 1 kid, an adult, and clone person with no memory but the soul has been around for a while?

Oh yeah I got really messed up on shrooms and watched 3.0 without any subs, just japanese audio speaking a moon language at me.


Made exactly as much sense as the sober subs first watch. Highly recommended.

Imma do this with EoE, but not during the simulwatch because I kind of want to be able to talk about it maybe.

The Rebuild of Rebuild of Evangelion. With Anno dying before the final movie comes out so we never get to see how it ends.

A Rebuild of Rebuild style project would probably be cool and I wouldn't be surprised if he revisits NGE again a decade or two down the line since it's such a life consuming work for Anno.
