Whats it all about?

Postby SS5_Majin_Bebi » Tue Nov 12, 2002 6:37 pm

I just watched The End of Evangelion and i thought it rocked but.......it.....the ending confused the crap out of me. What the hell did Shinji try and throttle Asuka for, and are they like the only two left, and WHY is Shinji still miserable, i thought he had the power to change that.

This confudion probly stems from the fact that i've only seen one episode of the serious prior to watching the EoE (the one where a big spherical angel appears over the city, and Shinji gets dragged into it, but then they find out that what they think is the angels body is actually its shadow and vice versa) so i just want someone to explain the last half hour or so...

If you re-watch it you see Shinji choking Auska during the "psycho" phase of the mind melding thingy because she rejected him. It is safe to say that the feeling was still present in Shinji after wards. Yes they are the only two left at the end of the movie, if you want to look at it in a different perspective they are like the new Adam and Eve. As far as still being miserable he will always be like that.

Actually I think all the other people can come back if they wish. I swear I heard Rei say that during the 3rd Impact while talking to Shinji. As for choking Asuka. I have no clue and I don't think anybody really knows wtf is going on. As an anime magazine said "Don't try to understand it. Just sit back and enjoy," or something like that.

http://www.evaotaku.com/ has a great faq that deals with many questions. He only goes by what has been said in the series and by the creators and doesn't idily speculate.

What's it about? It's about a director going mad and taking an excellent series and ruining it!!!! To make up for it the third eva movie should be all about Hikari making boxed lunches!

and call me crazy but she never treated him that well all the way through the series. It isn't like he had absolutely no reason to be angry at her.

Before you do a post like this, can you please say it is a spoiler.

I have spent so long trying to ignore all references to Evangelion, so no one ruins it for me.

Luckily I read End of Evngelion and quickly went back..so no harm done.

In case your wondering, I haven't watched all of it yet as its currently being shown on the Sci-fi channel in England. Upto ep 20 now....not long left....

Well, you're pretty lucky Sushi2. You get to watch it on television. I 've trying to buy it, but as of late, I've been renting the DVDs. I don't what episode I'm up to, but it's the one where Shinji will finally find out who's the 4th child (a won't say who it is. :D ). Anyways, I've bought EoE and D&R. I can find individual episodes for sale, but i just want the whole set. And I don't have much to spend. :( But I'm working on it, with my friend. :D

The proper term is worm, as it those bastards that crawl all over you driveway after it rains... Shinji just has issues, I loved the first half of EVA, but then it went straight to hell, I didn't like the ending, or the movies. They had such a great and intricate plot going and then they just threw it all aside for character developement.

BOO-URNS!

Well lets be fair, the characters were crappy from the begining, and what could have turned out to have been development, was just backstory about why they are so stupid.
