I played an Evangelion game for the Wonderswan that was like a POkemon clone. If you want to fit that into your canon.

I'm not convinced there are any time loops or anything like that. Doesn't mean that it couldn't be a twist or whatever in the last Rebuild movie, but I don't find the theories convincing in the slightest bit as of now.

Rebuild very strongly suggests a cyclical pattern but there's nothing to suggest that it's even in continuity with the TV show, let alone with anything else. Don't think of them as a single narrative; think of them as a conversation. (and the manga is Sadamoto piping up from the kids' table lol)

Don't think of them as a single narrative; think of them as a conversation. Its really weird how it's all shown. AFAIK isn't the Manga the only other time we see Mari besides the movies? And the movies have some weird hints like the red ocean, kawou knowing shinji already and the blood on the moon? I think people explained everything except kawou.

Yeah the Manga copies too much stuff from the TV show. They could have tried harder to be different.

There's obviously no diegetic time loop short of a wizard doing it, but Rebuild is not just a repeat performance. Of course they're different.

It is definitely in that awkward spot of not being different enough to stand on its own without being compared to the series, but with many of the differences are uninteresting on their own. Character differences mainly serving to make them feel more generic for the most part. To say nothing of that ending, yeesh.

Because if all the media interpretations are interlinked, it can mean Evangelion is sort of a saga that's been going on for decades in various media formats.

Heh, I'd known Eva had imitated the styles of a whole bunch of other things with its music (e.g. old Bond music, Thunderbirds, etc.), but I hadn't caught what a direct ripoff some of it was. EDIT: ^Eh, it's only really in the outro that they start to sound really similar. The rest of it seems more like when pop songs end up sounding reminiscent of one another when they use similar BPM and chord transitions and stuff. smenj fucked around with this message at 19:31 on Sep 3, 2017 |

The Bond music thing is new to me. Eva being such a mishmash of very different things is one of the cooler parts about it IMO.

It's funny for me because I'd listened to the Bond soundtracks so much before I saw Evangelion is was literally the first thing I noticed it had borrowed.

I don't have too much experience with the Bond movies. I like the ones I've seen but any time I think about marathoning through the ones I haven't I remember that they're all like two and a half hours long and then just watch something else instead.

There's more bad Bond movies than good ones so. I watched most of them as a kid and didn't notice though.

Sort of reminds me of when I lost some respect for Yoko Kanno after seeing a compilation video of a lot of songs she ripped off. I still can certainly enjoy her music ("great artists steal" and all that), but there's a lot of unattributed taking of melodies or direct sampling going on.

hey so there's this old rear end Eva parody video I'm trying to find it was contemporary with, like, AMV Hell and poo poo and kind of in that vein, not like an abridged series, and I remember it being passed around a lot/constantly mentioned on EvaGeeks back in the day. I don't really remember much about it past that because I pretty much completely forgot this existed until a tiny bundle of synapses reconnected and I remembered it was a thing. does anyone know what the hell I might be thinking of?

Mentioning AMV's threw me off and had me thinking of that Evangelion's Opus AMV which is the only one other than the Windows98 one worth watching.

Last time I watched the video for Baby Got Back was before I saw Evangelion; after rewatching it today, I get the feeling it may have been an inspiration for the opening animation. RUMP THICK REAR ABSOLUTE TERROR FIELD ANGELS TOKYO-3

Those are the goggles X-wing pilots wear. E: way earlier in the thread, I think linked in the OP, is something about Eva ripping off UFO and Stingray and stuff. The retracting buildings from Stingray were especially neat. Safety Biscuits fucked around with this message at 12:26 on Nov 30, 2017 |
