Wasn't there a scene in the series where they show an alternate reality where everyone is just a normal? I barely remember but my guess is that might've just been in Shinji's head.

Yeah I remember that scene. Everything went over my head though because, you know, Evangelion.

Saying 1.0 is boring because it repeats the first episodes is kinda odd. After seeing 2 and 3 it's clear that the rebuild series deviates completely from the original show, so it's cool that the first movie is nearly a shot for shot remake of the first six episodes, because they're basically perfect. I remember reading a interview where Anno said they had the storyboards for 1 to 6 planned out completely and then they just winged it for a while. I love that they just made the animation better and left the entire Rei arc basically completely untouched

I have not actually seen the Eva movies.

Is glasses girl a new character for the movies? I don't remember anyone like that.

I don't think Rebuild really exists to replace the original. It's its own thing.
I'm hoping so.

I've got a lot of respect for the way Eva and End of Eva did a lot of things, but I know Anno and crew got a lot of flak for them. My worry when they first announced Rebuild was they might be trying to smooth things over, you know, "I know you didn't like that bit so here's something new to make up for it." At the time I'd also had a lot of Lucas and Spielberg on the brain, two directors who are different people now than when they first started out - and not in ways that were entirely beneficial to the creative process. The Anno behind Rebuild is in a different place than the Anno who spearheaded the original series

Then you factor in merchandising and "Hey, enough about Rei and Asuka, here's a new girl with glasses," and your worries grow deeper.

I'm probably just being paranoid and overly protective, but I think Eva is a pretty important thing to exist as far as Japanese animation is concerned so here's my carepost.

Yeah, her name is Mari and she's movie original. Her purpose isn't clear yet, and she has probably 10 minutes of screen time across 3 films but people have gone ape poo poo over her for some reason.

Rebuild 3 is extremely radical and Rebuild 4 will likely be more bold than End of Eva, so don't worry about it. He's never going to actually finish it, but Rebuild 4 will be the best movie of the decade of whatever decade it actually comes out in.

Is Mari a giant troll on Anno's audience? Iv'e heard she's like a shonen protagonist straight out of a different show

I haven't watched any of the rebuilds

Yeah. I think the Shinji Ikari Raising Project is that scene expanded out into a super long manga series.

She's a complete wild card, everything about her clashes with the aesthetic and design of the show. It's cool and I'm really looking forward to the payoff. When she first appears she literally falls out of the sky and then harasses Shinji.

I think so too, which will be interesting considering every angel was met by the end of 3, meaning her existence will be a complete surprise to everyone involved

Nah it was the true ending of the manga after Shinji managed to fix things. Not that anyone really cares.

You could write him out of the show and almost nothing would be different.

At least they dropped his dumb two pieces of information gimmick.

there were a couple of live action sequences meant to go in EoE where Shinji never existed and Misato and Asuka are just living their normal everyday lives, but they got cut for whatever reason
