Charlatan Eschaton posted:^nice. cool colors on the rei one I'd be down for better explanations on Mari's origins, but I don't think there is any real support for this in the fiction. The creation of Mari was discussed pretty extensively in the "Evangelion 2.0 Complete Records Collection" book. It doesn't seem like there's anything that deep going on. I also think they play fast and loose with the concepts of Lilith and Adam in the NTE because the new movies are, either partially or mostly, meant to be metanarrative about Evangelion. It might be "who is Mari really?" is not something they thought needed an answer. The most obvious element that points to the movies as metanarrative is the last scene of 3.0+1.0. It is surely meant to tell the audience that "fifth impact should be your feet on some grass outside, nerds". Will that message actually be absorbed by the (sometimes literally) deeply invested audience? Probably not.

I mean they don't straight up state who she is or where she came from in the movies but mari is pretty loaded up with symbolism from multiple ancient religions and has some visual similarities to lilith in her poses and outfits. The lilith on the cross never really does anything by itself until other characters take control of it like rei in eoe so it just seems like a cool idea that maybe this time around she's an actual person having fun doing things. Check my post history itt for some other connections, im probably wrong but i like reading about old religions and it's fun to speculate about. She appears at the beginning of 222 fighting the third angel like Lalitha/Tripura Sundari/Ashwarooda fights Bhandasura coming out of a big egg shape that looks like a Shiva Lingam, a cosmic egg that gave birth to the universe. A union of the masculine and feminine recreating all of existence, merging the micro and macrocosmos. https://santhipriya.com/2016/02/ashwarooda-devi-e.html posted:Ashwarooda Devi led the cavalier sitting on a giant white horse holding a golden rod called ‘Dandam’ in her right hand. The power of the Dandam (Golden Rod) was such that it not only to controlled the mind and senses but also was able to absorb external energies including crucial five senses of each and everyone when commanded. The Horse which she rode was called Aparajitha meaning invincible and cannot be won-over by anyone. The war commenced.    https://magikindia.com/shivalingam/ posted:This union is illustrated by a hindu myth. One day when Shiva and his consort Parvati were in their home on the peak of Mount Kailash, Parvati playfully covered Shiva's eyes. For these gods it lasted a fraction of a second, but Earth was plunged in darkness for years. Parvati had to perform many austerities to win back Shiva's trust, starting her penances in the Himalayas and finishing them on Arunachala Hill in South India. There Shiva appeared in a pillar of fire and light returned to the world. Shiva merged with Parvati to form Ardhanarishvara, a being that is half man, half woman.  Lalita in the Hindu denomination Shaktism, also known as Tripura Sundari, the beautiful lady of the three cities, expressing herself in Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva as creator, maintainer and destroyer of the universe. https://yogainternational.com/article/view/the-legend-of-lalita posted:Of the many great yogic goddess lineages, Lalita’s is preeminent. Self-willed and independent, Lalita is an exquisitely sensuous goddess also known as Kameshvari (“Empress of Desire”). At the same time, she is the completely devoted wife of the Supreme Lord Shiva, who is pure consciousness. She exists in a perpetual state of perfect harmony, ever benevolent, her eyes moist with compassion for all beings. Lalita is portrayed in the yoga tradition as a voluptuous young woman holding five arrows made of long-stemmed flowers, a bow made of sugarcane, a noose, and a goad. The arrows are our five senses and the bow with which they’re dispatched is our mind. When our senses are offered to the Goddess and our thoughts are directed to the Divine, our life becomes sweet and fragrant. But when we find ourselves pausing on the spiritual path, distracted by one thing or another, Lalita gently prods us along with her goad. If we resist her mild suggestion that it’s time to move forward in our spiritual unfoldment, she lassos us with her noose and drags us, like misbehaving children, back to her lap. From this perspective, life’s worst traumas are Lalita’s lariat; it is the fullest expression of her love for even her most wayfaring children. THE GLORY OF LALITA The deep inner significance of Lalita’s play with her devotees (her name means “she who plays”) Devī Bālā Tripura Sundarī, also known as Bālambikā, is the daughter and/or younger aspect of the Hindu Goddess Lalita https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bala_Tripurasundari posted:Within the Brahmāņḍa Purāņa, Bālā Tripura Sundarī is mentioned in chapter 26 of the Lalitā Māhātmya, where she joins the battle against the forces of the arch-demon Bhaņḍa:[1] On hearing that the sons of Daitya Bhaņḑa the chief of whom was Caturbāhu had come for the purpose of fighting, Bālā (the daughter of Lalitā) showed interest in it. She was the daughter of Lalitā Devi. She came from the golden kavasa of lalita. She always stayed near the goddess. She was worthy of being worshipped by all Śaktis. She was adept in martial feats and exploits. Her form and features were like those of Lalitā. She was always like a nine-year-old girl, yet she was a great mine of all lore. Her body was like the rising sun. Her creeper-like slender body was [missing text] in complexion. She was perpetually present near the footrest of the great queen. She was as it were the vital breath of the goddess moving externally. She was her fourth eye. She became furious and thought thus : "I shall immediately kill those sons of Bhanda who have come here". After making up her mind thus, Bālāmbā submitted to the great queen. "Mother, the sons of Bhaņḑa, the great Daitya, have come to fight. I wish to fight with them. I am interested in this because I am a young girl. My arms throb with an itching sensation for war. This is my playful activity. It should not be curbed by your orders for prohibition. Indeed I am a girl loving toys and playful pastimes. By this play of fighting for a moment, I shall become delighted mentally." "Dear child, your limbs are very tender and soft. You are only nine years old. This is your first step and performance. Your training in warfare is fresh and recent. You are my only daughter. Without you, my breathing activity does not go on even for a moment. You are my very vital breath. Do not go in for the great war. We have Daņḑinī, Mantriņī and crores of other great Śaktis for fighting. Dear child, why do you commit this blunder?" Although prevented thus by Śri Lalitādevī, the girl was overcome by curiosity. She requested once again for permission to fight. On observing her steadfast decision, Srīlalitā, the mother, granted her permission after closely clasping her in her arms. She took off one of her armors and gave it to her. From her weapons, she gave her the requisite weapons and sent her off. Kūmārikā got into the covered palanquin that had been extracted by the great queen from the staff of her bow and to which hundreds of swans were yoked for drawing. She killed all 30 sons of the daemon Bhandasura which was extremely difficult to do.

Yesterday, I watched all four movies back to back. It was my first time seeing them. I haven't watched the TV show since like 2005 or something. Its been a real long time. Anywho, I really liked the movies. They are flawed films, but something this ambitious and big, is going to have its issues with the narrative. For me, the big thing I really liked was the world and the lore. It was really good. And maybe because I had just recently finished Xenogears, the massive exposition dumps didn't bother me.

Keep in mind in the time between Movie 3 and Movie 4, Hideki Anno 1) had another full-on mental break down, 2) made one complete modern tokusatsu movie and got knee-deep into the planning phase of a second one, 3) oversaw the production of one of the most visually complex 2D/3D hybrid animation projects in if not cinematic history, then at least Japanese cinematic history, and 4) had to get it across the finish line during a global pandemic that t-boned the entire entertainment industry particularly hard. The man had a couple of things on his plate between here and there. That's not to say Final Fantasy had it easy either. Apparently making the jump to the full HD era of gaming was like trying to clear a shoulder-high hurdle for them because the engine they built to try and make games on the PlayStation 3 with didn't actually work, and the PS3's cell processor architecture was a black box contraption that not even loving SONY understood how it worked until studios like Naughty Dog, Santa Monica Studio, Guerilla Games, Insomniac and Kojima Productions each figured out little niches of it and then shared notes with each other that then combined into a complete picture that said "HOW TO MAKE ACTUALLY GOOD PS3 GAMES". Square was largely not privy to those secrets. They then gave the game that eventually became FFXV to a guy who went and frolicked in the wilderness for 8 and a half years before they ripped it out of his hands and gave it to a dude who they then crunched so bad to make the other 99.5% of the game that he left the company a broken shell of a man a two years after the game finally saw the light of day. Basically, the technology to accomplish truly extraordinary things has improved by leaps and bounds in the past 20 years. It's the human factor that hasn't kept pace. nine-gear crow fucked around with this message at 06:54 on Dec 1, 2021 |

FilthyImp posted:In addition to what the poster above said, you also have to figure that (next to pre-rendered CGI) the largest space on the PS1 era FFs was audio. Yeah, the move to HD explains some things, and the mess that was FFXIII and FFXIV's launch explains most of the rest, but there being an explanation for something and it being funny and/or disappointing aren't mutually exclusive. Of course, for Eva the gap felt even longer because of where it fell. 3.0 was a daring choice, and it worked out in hindsight, but it basically threw out the playbook, and was intentionally a rough, confusing watch. Being left with it as the last word in the series for the better part of a decade made for interesting conversations.

E: For the record, a big budget musical mainline Final Fantasy would be amazing. Final Fantasy XV was not the game to do it in. Or if it was, it should have been from the start rather than some lightbulb clicking on in Nomura's head after staring at an empty work file for seven and a half years and going "Hmmmm". nine-gear crow fucked around with this message at 09:23 on Dec 2, 2021 |

For the record, I found FFXV to be a very satisfying (if somewhat uneven and, in later stages, confusing) work. It really becomes about that group of guys doing One Last Trip before their worlds go haywire and the relationships really make the game enjoyable. There's a campfire scene towards the very end where Noctis kind of breaks down and admits he's accepted his fate, but doesn't want to leave everyone that was really effective. nine-gear crow posted:E: For the record, a big budget musical mainline Final Fantasy would be amazing.

I just marathoned the Rebuild films into my first watch of 3.0+1.01, and my initial impression is that the last movie was pretty garbage up until the last twenty minutes. I appreciate what Anno was trying to do. But the execution all the way through 3.33 and 4.01 was terrible. The only reprieves being the slice of life stuff in the village and the conclusion starting with Ikari finally realize how much being a self-isolating loner is bad for you. That part hit a little close to home. I still consider the climax of 2.22 to be the pinnacle of the franchise.

AlternateNu posted:I just marathoned the Rebuild films into my first watch of 3.0+1.01, and my initial impression is that the last movie was pretty garbage up until the last twenty minutes. I definitely agree that the pacing in 3.33 and 3.0+1.0 was uneven at best. The plot of 3.33 is just so far removed from your expectations after the original series and 2.22, and doesn't make much of an effort to address that problem. I think it is probably a mistake to try to ride from 3.33 directly into viewing 3.0+1.0 given that there was originally 9 years in between that set expectations and anticipation they could lean on. 3.0+1.0 was starting to take on a Duke Nukem Forever vibe there for a while, and really playing into any superstitions they may have had about the number 4 being bad luck. Perhaps they did it to themselves by having Unit 04 play to those ideas in the original series as well. I started to read the James P. Hogan book Thrice Upon a Time, but I don't think I'm going to finish it. I know this book went through a bunch of reprints back in the day, but it is bad. It's not even funny-bad like God Emperor of Dune. I'm only a third of the way through but it is just punishingly boring and the characters are uninteresting. I haven't noticed any possible connection to 3.0+1.0 yet other than maybe something tangential about parallel timelines.

Maybe it is just because it has been forever since I watched the series, but Anno seemed to have jumped even more of the shark with the nonsensical religious easter eggs. Give the Spear of Longinus an opposite with the Spear of Cassius (the other name Longinus goes by in some Christian traditions)? Makes perfect sense. Give Mari the (debatably apocryphal) surname of Judas? Sure, why not? So, random other bits I noticed and random rants which people can slap me around on if I misinterpreted them. (In no particular order:) - All the Eva pilots except Shinji are clones? That was the whole implication with Mari and Asuka not aging while also seeing Mari in Gendo's flashbacks and the two version of Asuka remaining in that shot of the wall of Asukas, right? - It's been forever. But this Asuka has a different Japanese surname than the one in EoE, right? - Was there another 3rd Impact after Shinji's N3I at the end of 2.22? Because the timeline on when/why Kaji would sacrifice himself in response is...unclear to say the least. He stole the Wunder in the confusion? - And Wille still had enough tech/resources available after the land got blighted AND splitting with NERV to be able to design anti-blighting pillars? Like, what? - And after the state we see NERV in after 3.33, SURPRISE. They have enough mass produced Evas to turn the last major battle into a mix of Gurren Lagann and Macross.  - Was there really a purpose to have Mari's Unit 8(?) each 9 through 12 just so they could complete the cycle up to Unit 13?  - I'm kind of mad we won't get a timeline where Kaworu is director of NERV with Ryoji as his handler. - I'm also mad we didn't get more of long hair Rei. That's my favorite design I've seen of her. Also, her not having a billion kids in the reset timeline is some bullshit considering how Rei 9 bonded with Touji's kid. - They really had to make Mari Shinji's reboot beau? Like, she still had basically no characterization after the last movie. She was straight Mary Sue all the way. AlternateNu fucked around with this message at 05:30 on Dec 10, 2021 |

Mari was apparently the first person to pick up the condition from early LCL experiments, back when she was a teen prodigy researching metabiology with Yui and company. (Thus her talk with the Prof like they knew each other for a long time.)

The value of shared experience vs individual drive. It seemed like a cheap trick but I like that it informed their characterizations. Asuka hates that she's 'programmed' for certain things, Rei accepts it.

My feelings on 3.0+1.0 are that it's a very mixed film with some great moments. As others have said, the village segment is very strong and then it descends into a very uneven experience. I think my ultimate thought on the film is that it doesn't work very well as an end to a narrative spanning years and four movies, but it does function superbly as an end to Neon Genesis Evangelion as a franchise and cultural phenomenon.

There's a point where Gendo explictly mentions Shinji refusing Instrumentality which was never a thing he did in Rebuild at any point, but told me "oh okay, this movie is definitely meant to follow up and conclude the series too." and I was just along for the ride at that point.

He stole the Wunder in the confusion? Wille rebelled against NERV around the point of proper 3rd Impact, which is different from Near 3rd Impact that Shinji caused at the end of 2.22 despite the fact that so many seem to conflate the two and blame Shinji for 3rd Impact proper. The anti-blight pillars are based on the research Kaji was so invested in (part of?) at that water reclamation plant in 2.0 that he takes the kids to, apparently you can see something or other that looks like one there. So presumably the pillars were already being designed and put into production at that point since there was one in the middle of Paris and it wasn't under WILLE's control. I think Anno said that he might yet circle back around and do the original 3.0, which would have shown Kaji and Kaworu running NERV like the bits we see of it at the end of 3.0+1.0. WILLE had to salvage components from Euro NERV's Paris branch to rebuild Unit 8 and used the Jet Alone components to rebuild Unit 02, which you'd think would be reversed given they were spare parts for Unit 02 in the first place but, well, Anno has a god drat fetish and Eva 02 has to suffer for it. NERV meanwhile was absurdly automated by that point and just cranking out Evas from various facilities just fine on its own apparently. With most of them being automated they were probably using them to gather the resources to build more in the first place. I suspect that original-3.0-idea movie we might get would shed light on just how the hell that was happening.

The end of 2.0 where Unit 01 starts going ham, and the event where Kaji chose to somehow sacrifice himself to stop the destruction of the world are different events. It's possible the latter was a necessary or inevitable reaction to the former. However, many of the characters do not appear to be aware of this, even though they should be, and continually refer to both events as the same thing and treat Shinji as though he is the party most responsible for the event where Kaji died and most of the world was blighted.

gimme the GOD drat candy posted:most of them weren't present for either. then there's misato, who cheered on the first and was fully aware that shinji had nothing to do with the second. Is the idea that Misato just lied to everyone for 15 years, falsely blaming Shinji for everything, and Ritsuko and Mari and Asuka and any other NERV people who witnesses the end of 2.0 went along with it? Kaji let this happen before he died, or else Misato fooled him too? And she lied so well that people who have never met Shinji or weren't even born when he disappeared the last time are viscerally repulsed by his presence? Why on earth would this happen? Why wouldn't she just blame Gendo or Fuyutski or the people who ran SEELE exclusively? As far as she knows Shinji is dead or in some kind of hell inside Evangelion Unit 01, why was he the top of the list in blame? The only reasonable explanation is that the Impact that killed Kaji really is primarily Shinji's fault somehow, in a very direct way, but this doesn't make any sense either. E: In 3, Misato asks if it's really Shinji, and Ritsuko replies that his dental records and other data match "Near Third Impact." The implication in that film is that she means "your records from before you disappeared into Unit 01", meaning that N3i means the end of the 2nd film. However in 4 it is made clear this term refers to the later event that destroyed the world. Y fucked around with this message at 10:10 on Dec 13, 2021 |

Fiyutsuki has been playing both sides, trying to do what Yui would want, which means advancing plans for both Gendo and Mari, his two brightest remaining students, who both claim to be acting for what Yui would want. With one hand, he moves Gendo's son towards his destiny. And with the other, he sets up Mari's emergency backup option, so she can go in and save the day if it turns out Gendo was wrong. Mari's straightforward and direct, unlike most of the cast, saying what she means and meaning what she says. But that doesn't mean she says everything.

So has anyone here received their collectors edition/ultimate editions yet? I won't get mine until January but am curious to see what people think of it. Will be nice to have a physical HD copy of the ADV dub again. As much as I prefer the ADV/manga dub due to nostalgia the upscale makes it hard to go back to the old dvds (particularly the movies). On a side note, does anyone know if the dub for the platinum collection was a redub? I never got hold of that so can't be sure.

I have both the Platinum and Perfect ADV dub DVDs, so I can confirm the dubs are somewhat different. I think they mostly rerecorded secondary and ancillary character dialogue. The only thing I really remember is that the voice for Hyuga is radically different. They may have brought Spike, Grant, Lee, and Keith to rerecord lines, but the performances are mostly the same. That's just my memory though. I'm sure there are folks around here nerdier than me to keep the record straight.

My understanding is that there is some kind of in-joke for english Eva dubs where Hyuga is always performed by the ADR director, which is why he always changes significantly between productions.

I watched the series End Of movie, and four rebuild movies, all for the first time, over the month. It was very interesting. Still taking it in. What was Mari's personal issue or mental struggle? All the other characters have obvious trauma or emotional issues.
