I'd doubt you, but let's be honest. Mari would be into it.

Mari would definitely be into metaphorically making GBS threads on Asuka by helping Shinji work out his hatefuck fantasies about her.

I mean, on one hand, she and Asuka were clearly friends in 3.0, and she was going out of her way to help Asuka work out her Shinji related issues.

On the other, it's the kind of friendship primarily expressed through nonstop making GBS threads on each other, and if Asuka's not going to go for it...

The True Evangelion Experience is empathizing with Shinji when you're 16, and then empathizing with Mistato when you're 32.

everything about these spoilers sounds like a perfect mix of bizarre spectacle + satisfying conclusion except the ending pairings which just sound baffling but i guess being baffling is part of evangelion

It would not be Eva if there wasn't a weird fly in the ointment somewhere that keeps people from being completely happy with it, but hey at least it actually ends on an unambiguous happy note this time, so gently caress it, well done Anno :toot: now you can rest.

I mean "rest" is an odd choice of words when he's got another movie he wrote the screenplay for coming out this year, but yeah.

This really sounds like a happy ending for the main cast after all these years. Maybe even for Gendo, if some of these summaries are true.

Also, Shinji hooking up with an older woman just proves again that he's more like Amuro Ray than Kira Yamato ever was.

I just got done seeing it and I liked it a lot! If you enjoyed 3 I think you'll probably like this too. If you hated 3 you're in for a wild ride.

Super spoiler: Shinji finally grows up and uses the anti-universe to rewrite the regular universe to remove Evas then he bones Mari.

Minor spoiler: It wouldn't be an Evangelion finale without rough sketches and meta for the sake of meta and this one doesn't disappoint.

One thing they didn't quite catch: Underneath Asuka's eye patch is mini version of the restoration obelisks implanted in her eye/brain because she is still infected with Bardiel and removing it allows her to unlock her angel powers including the extra shoulder arms.

My only complaints above the movie:
- Minor spoiler: There's a lot of "oh no that was Gendo's plan all along" again.
- Minor complaint, big spoiler: The ending doesn't make it quite clear whether they're in the same version of the universe with the world rebuilt, or whether it's a version where the Angel stuff never happened. I'm assuming it's the first one because the latter kind of negates all the sacrifices made by the Wille crew.

My favorite moment though was definitely seeing Toji alive and well. The movie could have spent a lot more time in that refugee village and I wouldn't have minded, it was really nice to see some chill stuff in Eva. Subsequently I felt really sorry for new Rei when her clock ran out because she was doing so well living a normal person life. :smith:

I don't even care if the source is most likely trolling, I so want this to be true. :allears:
