God's Message is a fantastic track, yes YouTube also does not like sharing "3EM01_Em20_Master" (Decisive battle, but they throw bongos and an electric guitar into the mix), as it's hidden on every playlist, but the longer version Bataille d'Espace is free to roam the airwaves

The opening segments of 4.0 are my choice for the absolute best moments in the entire movies but 3.33 has strong contenders.

Rebuild 1 and 2 are a weird mish-mash of old and new, but Rebuild 3 feels like it really could've been the spark to launch an entire new series. There's just so much going on and clearly a massive amount of stuff that happened/is happening in the world at large that impacts the whole Eva experience. Also, is my math right? Is the gap between the series airing, and Rebuild 1 actually shorter then the gap between Rebuild 1 and 4?

Rebuild 3 was one of the most frustrating movies I had ever seen when it originally came out, but I think 4 really helped contextualize it. The only thing I'm not crazy about is how it ends with yet another impact scene, because it just felt a little redundant from a pacing standpoint. But it made sense thematically and narratively so I can't fault it too much. I think 3 has some of the most breathtaking apocalyptic imagery I've seen anywhere. That valley full of giant human teeth is something else. Although I think the apocalyptic imagery in 4, with the village in the bubble, is just really cool. Everything surrounding the village act of the fourth movie is pure magic.

I've heard the story that the whole thing was originally some tax scheme by the production company and they didn't care if the show tanked and failed, but once it took off it resulted in them getting caught on the tax evasion.

Now he does. Khara picked up the rights to Evangelion during the course of the Rebuilds.

I thought the tax evasion was because Eva was a smash hit well beyond anything they had hoped - they were thinking it might be as impactful as Nadia or something. So they started evading taxes. One guy said he was just trying to put something away for the future because who could say that Gainax would ever make something as successful again?

pentyne posted:It definitely drops a ton of stuff that seems borderline unnecessary, like a Vatican treaty allowing each country 3 Evas max while only 5 to this point exist, and then you get all the random non Tokyo-3 stuff like another Nerv base getting nuked, the moon bases, US and Russia's Eva stuff etc. I don't clearly understand the start of the movie, like where it's located and how exactly they expected to imprison an angel. These two points are clearly related. Misato's flashback demonstrates there were four giant, glowing beings at Second Impact. These beings were similar to, or the same thing as, Unit 01 at the climax of the film. The Vatican Treaty demonstrates that the governments of the world are aware that the circumstances of Second Impact involved four Evangelion-like things and hope to forbid it happening again. The logo of the agency even resembles the three-eyed Eva-01. Milkfred E. Moore fucked around with this message at 10:18 on Jul 4, 2022 |

Really, the big problem people have with the Rebuilds is that they swapped out the exposition of the original series with inferences and allusions. There's a lot of really cool writing and worldbuilding in the first three, such as the whole of Near Third Impact being told in those details. But then the final film came out and swerved, leading to Gendo's awkward 'here is the mystery' monologue, retcons of motivation and purpose (SEELE), and things that raise far more questions than answers (Mari.) As a meta franchise capstone, it works well but it's not great as a sequel to Rebuild 3.

Ah remember when people tried to decipher their designs and figure out what it could mean... and then it turned out it was just an Ultraman reference and had no bearing on anything else in Rebuild

I had a hosed up realisation years ago where the audio sting that accompanies the Khara logo is actually literally just 100% the Ultraman transformation sound.

Rebuild 4 I had a lot of stuff I was keeping notes on as I watched it, but it's kind of entirely saved by the last 30 minutes managing to land what felt like it would've been impossible before I saw it, something that felt like the definitive final end to Evangelion as a continuing story and franchise. I keep thinking on how a lot of long running shows/series/media etc. can be retroactively diminished by their endings. Recently Attack on Titan and Game of Thrones come to mind as two things that ended so poorly it caused people to re-evaluate the entire series Just some quick observations - Where the gently caress is the infrastructure/cash for the insane amount of mechs being built? WILLE is basically using repurposed navy ships while NERV is apparently fielding literal armies of EVAs. - The whole Paris thing is them struggling to find spare parts? Where the gently caress is NERV getting all theirs? - This 100% feels like it could’ve been a 13 episode series, the pacing is wicked fast and significant moments have almost 0 time to let anything land - Animation gets weird as hell when Asuka starts shoving food down Shinji’s throat, almost jarring because its so different from the rest of the movie - The whole "Kaji stopped 3rd impact" seems like there's an entire movie missing between 2.0 and 3.0 they wrote and scripted before chucking it to just do the timeskip - Asuka has an almost throw away line that pilots are ‘designed’ like Rei - Anti-universe? What? - 25 years of character shipping and the movie ends with the Shinji and Mari like a massive finger to the fan community for obsessing so much over who loves who It's honestly a ton of stuff that just feels like "gently caress it, just go with it" for the entire movie and somehow manages to work. Like, nothing is really explained and again the Vatican treaty is mentioned like lol the world is dyed red who cares about treaty violations? It almost seems like necessity that the movie just pushes along presenting the plot and actions it needs to in whatever context works to serve the point of the scenes, and that's really enough by the end. The ending conversation with Gendo and Ikari is basically 25 years worth of "loving communicate you dweebs" finally happening and clearing the air since the very first "get in the robot" scene. There's so much going on, so much personal stuff that I can't tell if Anno was injecting his own words into the script, getting out his decades of emotional and mental struggle of dealing with life via the massive success and push to continue with Evangelion. Honestly shocking that something like this franchise could really end on such a final note and feel like it is a good thing.

pentyne posted:Rebuild 4 By my understanding, that's more or less correct. Khara started on a version of 3.0 that followed directly after 2.0 (basically what was described in the preview at the end of 2.0), but scrapped it because, among other things, they decided not to make a movie where Shinji didn't appear.

When Shinji isn't on screen, people should be asking "where's Shinji?"

I think he even mentioned that gap as being something that he doesn't want to do anything with (because no Shinji) but that someone else could do something with if they had good ideas.
