    Despite it's flaws I still rather enjoyed this one since it simply brought new things to the table. I can't really judge the rebuilds story as a whole since I still haven't seen the last one yet. The 2nd rebuild is still my favorite thus far.

    Very unconventional way to continue from 2.22?
    Yes.
    It is anti-climatic and possibly disappointing?
    Yes.
    Do I still love it as what it is?
    Yes.

    I appreciate the ideas behind Rebuild more than their execution. I won’t be dismissive of the films-too much love and work was put into them-and completely respect those that like them. That said, I feel distant from the films, like I’m watching a lecture on Evangelion instead in experiencing it.

    3.33 does only work together with 3.0+1.0, they almost contain a whole new story for themselves, while 1.11 and 2.22 stand together for themselves in the same way. All in all the rebuild series and especially the finale is a true masterpiece. Also love how the ending pissed off so many people, because it was an ending for everyone, almost a fan service ending lol

    I agree about your “summer blockbuster” description of 2.0, which describes the fun I had. But I remember having just as much if not more fun during 3.0, because it didn’t just continue down the same path. That mid-series shift in tone is inherently evangelion. 3.0 takes a darker, more meditative turn, just like the show did once, but it still introduces new ideas like aging characters. In that sense, it feels familiar, but also different to anything that came before it. I think 3.0 is unique in that way.
    I’d like to see your initial thoughts after the global release of thrice upon a time. Give a month or so, then revisit all the rebuilds and maybe the franchise as a whole

      same. Admitedly i saw 1 2 and 3 all on the same day so i didnt have the waiting experience, but watching 1 and 2 i was so confused as to why shinji suddenly got a harem, why is there no tension, why do evas seem like action figures instead of the horror-like status they have in the original series. Everything seems like an evangelionless evangelion.
      And 3.0 answered those questions pretty energetically, and returned to a rawness of ideas that wasnt seen since the nge series

    Literally everything criticized about the movie is what the 3rd act of the show was like, it stopped being fun, the questions with no answers got worse and worse and it moved the story slowly. But I much prefer 3.0 to the 3rd act of the show just for Kawrou being in it more letting us have more of a connection to him and to Shinji before the “death” comes, making it more impactful than just the rushed 10 minutes the show gives it.

    @kenshin1368 3 роки тому +1

    It seems inadequate to not mention the naming of 3.0+1.0 more.
    1.0 You are (not) alone. This is the core message of the original series and Anno's desire for his fans to avoid escapism and create/experience the world. We're given hints that this is not the same series when you see Kaworu reborn.
    2.0 You can (not) advance. This is Anno giving the fans what they want: a romcom where both of the main girls suddenly start to fall in love with the protagonist. Mari Sue is the big hint that something is wrong here (a girl comes literally out of the sky, tells the protagonist the meaning of life/what he's looking for, and makes advances on him). Shinji literally goes full shonen, breaks the laws of physics to save his waifu and is left with emptiness.
    3.0 You can (not) redo. A message that you can't redo your life if you waste it in escapism. Hell, Shinji chooses escapism and is literally comatose in space for 14 years. The metaphors aren't too subtle here.
    **SPOILERS**
    3.0+1.0 Thrice upon a time. Note the exclusion of 2.0. Anno is saying this is the true form of Evangelion. The title hints at the series of loops: Manga, Anime, and Rebuilds (or you could go with Anime>Rebuilds>New world Shinji creates).
    My main problems with 3.0+1.0 (and 3.0) are
    -Mari doesn't revert to her proper age like all the other pilots
    -Her relationship with Shinji is extremely predatory if it is romantic
    -Kaji got done real dirty, no explanation
    -Misato doesn't treat Shinji like a human or ever explain anything to him
    -Gendo just giving up is a bit lame
    -Shinji saving Asuka and Rei but not Misato/Kaji seems inexplicable/lame (I think its shown he saves all the people killed/turned into headless EVAs by the N3I too)
    -Just showing the other characters in the background is pretty lame
    -The time skip in 3.0 is extremely jarring and well done but they never fill in the blanks as to what happened to Asuka/Misato/WILLE/Kaji in those 14 years to make the characters believable
    -Asuka and Kensuke just tell Shinji "other people are hurting too" without even trying to talk/listen to him when literally no one knows what its like to kill the only person who loved you and cause an apocalypse (other than sort of Gendo).

      @@LadCorazon the problem is, that there original NGE landed on completely different airport, then expected. What should have been story about escapism, was completely misunderstood and twister by the otaku scene. And since Anno wasn't satisfied with that outcome, he started working on Rebuild series, and the 3.0 really drive the point home. And the people, who are unsatisfied with not getting what they wanted (the same old NGE, just more) are really just showing, that they missed the point entirely and haven't moved forward in more then over quarter of a century...

      @@Srandista I just wonder why Anno couldn't move forward? I, as well as many people, enjoy NGE & EOE because they are so poignant and are pieces of media that helped us to grow into a better people. Otaku may have missed the point, sure, but so what? Are we to dismiss those who did grow from it? Anno himself can't move on, and I think started to hate himself half way through when he realized that. It shows in his shift from "I'm going to save anime" to "I'm getting rid of Evangelion". It's just absurd to me that he'd pander to those otaku he pretentiously claims to have failed, dragging everyone else along for the ride. He didn't even have a plan going in. Personally, I can't understand why he didn't just make something new that said something new. Not these lame movies made out of obligation.

    I can't beileve they managed to replicate that feeling of discovering a new movie just from experiencing it a second time. Everything falls into place so much better, you appreciate the action sequences so much more and you begin to see just how much there really is for you to take in at any given moment.

    @amanofnoreputation2164 3 роки тому

    The biggest "issue" (I hesitate to frame it as a problem) is that enough passed between 2.0 and 3.0 for a fifth rebuild movie to have been made.
    It isn't that the narrative is incoherent -- there are plenty of signs that the writers have a good picture of what happened in those 14 years and, more importantly, what happened immidiatly proceeding near third impact and everything that was going on in the background with Kaworu, mark 06 and the Adams. For one thing, we got a finishes preview of what feels like a completely different movie. There's just a very deliberate hole in it. You're supposed to be confused. There are supposed to be mysteries. You're supposed to want to return to everything that's familiar. But you can't. You can't redo.
    I don't suggest that that's what we should get, but I fully anticipate some fresh media will bring these things to light.
    Even if it all remains a mystery, I really enjoyed what this film did. It feels right to me that everything should be torn out from under us when entering into a world that is fundamentally different from the post second impact one we all know by now.

    3.0 is simultiously the closest and most further to the original show. With it´s redefinied world beyond recognition and action which lack realistic feel of original show/EoE but with heavily retrospective attitude of coresponding episodes (which to some extend lack previous movie).
    I personaly thing this movie when you already seen Thrice Upon a Time.

I found it to be a good integration of the themes from the last few episodes of the television series into a bigger budget and higher effort project, character utilisation was intrigueing, if a bit baffling, and visuals were stunning with great mix of 2d and 3d..
    In other words, it's Evangelion to the core (pun intended).

    I would have been fine with 3.0 being the final rebuild movie. 3.0+1.0 decided to shit the bed and roll around in its own mess laughing only to stop and smile saying “wasn’t that fun?” 4 is not a technically and objectively bad product it just isn’t Evangelion anymore. It is a different series wearing Eva skin and after 3 full plus 1 skimming through views in total…😏 Yes, that’s how much I’ve watched it exactly…I can easily say as a major Evangelion fan that I’m ok with it existing but it never should have came out.
    I wish the series had kept the message of “life sucks and that’s ok” instead of changing to “life sucks and you deserve to be rewarded for living.” That’s not how life works for the vast majority of people. Just because we suffer doesn’t mean we deserve to all have happy endings. Because we suffer through life we need to understand that sometimes it just sucks and unjust and that in itself, is ok.

  • @goodforu2
    @goodforu2 3 роки тому +1

    My take is the whole film is meant to be chaotic. As you're almost supposed to be as lost as Shinji. From his mental breakdown and mental health issues. To making decisions that have consequences with either not enough information, or the maturity and skills to tackle them. How those with trauma or mental health see those close to them either lose patience and move on or close themselves off, or sacrifice much of their own life so you may progress. Some people make no progress in 15 years and continue an endless loop. More character development would be convenient but hinder the chaos that makes the movie so great and sometimes we're not supposed to really understand the actions of individuals however the responsibility of those actions or consequences may impact everyone. Side note action sequences are fire and really parallel a lot of what is going on.

    To be real, I hate the rebuilds deeply. NGE never needed to be retold, and from how long it's taken Anno to pull it together and finish the final movie, I think he feels the same. He's been dragging his feet for so long, and dragged us and his crew along for the ride. The poor quality of the storytelling also makes it clear that the people working with Anno on NGE are no longer there or being out right ignored. The "fluff piece" documentary on Thrice upon a time's behind the scenes makes that pretty clear.
    The new movie is out soon and I want to see it so I never have to think about the rebuilds again.
