Not enough of best girl Mari!

Mari is really hot I want to hug her

Because Eva was a product of the 90s from the beginning to the end. It feels out-of-place now. Everything changed

Eva without Eva. It's fanfiction.

Mari character is the problem.

The idea of a new character was brought up to Anno by two animators, he gave the go ahead on creating the character.

But instead of creating a new character, they just rehashed elements of other characters into her.
piloting Asuka's unit 2,
Rei's injuries,
Misato's mother-figureness,
Kaji's spy element,
Kaworu's impact/betrayal,
Yui's knowledge of Eva

Thing is, after creating this character in early production, before the story was written, Anno made the script similar to what we have now.
Mari's Frankenstein elements from the other characters was dropped, but they did not bother reintegrating the elements back to the respective characters,(its why they all feel soo shallow)

So we got 2.0

Because they're movies and thus don't have the length to develop the characters as much as the anime does.

And before anybody points out End of Evangelion, i consider that to be a long episode of the anime to ... well, end the show, hence the name.

I liked rebuild 1.0 though. It was more in depth version of episodes 5 and 6 and if you look at it that way, its a good movie.

2.0s flaws was as this anon mentioned
>>151767587
they made mari using parts of the other characters and thus made people more hollow in that movie. Best part about it was rei coming with the rocket to help mari. Even though she failed, it was the most emotional part and thus my favorite of the movie. Which isn't saying much desu.

3.0 was alright imo but seemed rushed in the plot. Like some things were left too unexplained to enjoy properly. I understood the movie, but it needed more "fleshing out" if that makes sense.

>>151768341
> it was the most emotional part
you were easily emotionally invested in the movie.
were you a fan of NGE and had your investment spilled over to your rebuild experience?

>>151768466
>were you a fan of NGE and had your investment spilled over to your rebuild experience?

I guess you could say that. Im not the most extreme sperg when it comes to canon so the faluts in the rebuilds were not an absolute put off for me so I could enjoy the films.

>>151767587
Mari is the symptom rather than the disease. Mari is not important enough to be the disease, she's the symbol of the real problem, Anno trying to make his personal work into a multi-entry franchise what means erasing all the elements the audience never cared or openly hate in favor of the stuff they love like big explosions and waifus

Do you know about the original story for 2.0?

Originally Mari was going to be introduced by piloting Eva-2 at sea fighting an angel on battleships, Mari/Kaji are both introduced to the cast while Asuka arrives later by plane, both Mari and Asuka pilot Unit-2 with Asuka being its designated pilot , referring to Mari as her "support fire"(later used in 3.0)
Eventually Mari with a higher sync ratio with Unit-2 than Asuka becomes its main pilot during the 9th angel attack, leaving Asuka devastated not piloting Eva (NGE style) Asuka then jumps at the chance to pilot unit-3.(o_o)
Mari talks with all the pilots, goes to the school, Convinces Shinji (face to face) to pilot Unit-1 during the 10th angel attack at the watermelon field; kissing him...

The script was later remade (again) to what we have now.
it is also worth mentioning that Asuka was originally in unit-2 during the 10th angel attack. (In the first or second draft for 2.0.)
It explains why during the Zeruel battle (when it hits unit-2 a second time) the camera zoom's towards Mari's left eye (implying it getting hit), yet later we see that it's the right side of her face that's injured.---Originally Asuka was in Mari's

People NEED something new, Eva was such a different beast compared to other anime, that people were drawn to it.

Every new concept or idea in the anime industry, from video game-themed mmo anime, Giant human eating monsters, people love novelty.

the story and characters take the most important element for any story and eva portrayed itself perfectly.

>>151768993
Why did they NOT go with one of those earlier drafts, and why do we still have fucking artifacts from them in 3.0?

Honestly? Screen time.

NGE gave us a lot of time to get used to the characters and establish the nuance they became famous for. Jet Alone (despite accusations of being a filler episode) is a great example of an episode that used its time wisely to flesh out the characters to an unusual degree. We spent a lot of time with these characters and got to see their quirks and insecurities and problems, and that's the foundation that EoTV and EoE are based off of. That's the only reason they were so cathartic and hard hitting and memorable in the first place. EoE without NGE to back it up would just be a pretentious arthouse film no one would like except contrarian "film buffs" so they could jack off their egos.

RoE has none of that. There's no time to do it. You can't flesh out a cast of characters in 6 hours like you can in 13. And even considering that, RoE does not use its economy of time well at all. I'm not going to pretend NGE Kaworu was some sort of deep masterwork of a character, but it is fairly striking that a guy who was in one episode for all of 15 minutes left a deep impression on the audience for decades. Meanwhile, Eva 3.33 gives the guy a whole movie to himself but somehow he ends up being bland and uninteresting. At least NGE Kaworu had hints of conflicting motivations and complex emotions. 3.33 Kaworu is just a bishie homo acting like he walked right out of a doujin all the way up until he explodes like a watermelon.

3.33 lays bare weaknesses of RoE that were there all along. It's not just inefficient use of very limited screen time, but also that there's no emotional foundation to build catharsis of. 3.33 is all of the cryptic and frustrating elements of NGE removed from any reason for the audience to care. And it's disappointing how 11 years ago when it became clear the movies were finally going to happen the question everyone had was "how are they going to pull this off in just 4 movies?" We have our answer now. They couldn't.

>>151775152
it kinda reminds me of star wars prequels, Soo many ideas packed into a movie, that were better off as episodic cartoon episodes.

diff anon,
on that note, why would Anno restrict eva's story to 4 movis

>>151771548
>Is Anno going to pull some crazy shit in 3.0 + 1.0 or are we all going to be let down?

Depends on if you think Anno knows what he's doing or not.

Some say that 2.0 was a sarcastic piece of bait with Anno giving the audience what the always wanted, a super kewl TTGL-esque mecha show where Shinji nuts up and gets Japan favorite girl. According to this theory it was all just a set up to slap people in the face with 3.33, which does honestly fit with the original vibe and vision of NGE.

On the other hand there's evidence that Anno is just making shit up as he goes along because he hates the franchise and all its fans. Mari is an awful character and her existence makes no sense, not even as the most straightfaced satire. What little we can piece together about 3.33's backstory is often contradictory or seems nonsensical. Curse of the Eva is a transparent attempt to have a timeskip yet keep all those underage waifus around for figurine sales.

If nothing else, Shin Godzilla proved that Anno can make something good if he feels like it. They'll be no way to know until we see it (expect a 2021 release date at the earliest).

I never cared much for the color palette either.
They tried to change it up (along with the key frame designers) for 3.0 to fit the tone, but as a consequence it gives off a sense of inconsistency.

This most likely.

>>151775518
Most likely answer is money. You can put a lot more in the bank when everyone has to pay for a ticket (plus money from previews) to see your new project then if all you have is advertising from 5 minute commercial breaks.

I don't like the term "selling out" because I feel it's overused and applied to situations it doesn't belong, but there honestly doesn't seem to be any compelling reason to do movies over a new series besides money.

>>151775448
Agree. Another interesting parallel there is that both Lucas and Anno made successful projects (that were genuinely good) and got hyped up as gods of storytelling until they started to make things that fell flat. I almost wonder if after you reach "Golden Boy" status your creative team becomes less apt to question your decisions in a way that damages the new works. For example, George and Anno were both talented (and may still be as talented as they always were), but where before another team member might point something out that would cause the director to reexamine and maybe alter something, now they assume anything they think must be great and let it through, resulting in a rougher, less rigorous product.

Anno and Lucas are complete opposites, Anno allows other people to bring up ideas, criticisms whereas Lucas actively removed any naysayers from the prequels.

Its objectively longer than episodes 5+6 together and it was entirely a redo of those two episodes fighting Ramiel aka the Geometrically screaming, mountain destroying angel. If you see it as just a redo of those episodes it fleshes out the characters more and deviates very little from NGE compared to 2.0/3.0.

>>151778103
Having just watched the eps 1-6 and the 1.0 in quick succession, the most obvious thing is that everyone in the Rebuild is much more angsty sooner than they did in the original -- Shinji even gets in an extra early hell-train ride -- and almost all the light-hearted moments are cut out, often to be replaced by extended bits of the fight scenes.

>>151779780
Well one of the WILL-E girls have a huge role to play in the next film, some one is going to have to snap Shinji out of it.

We know Asuka is always thinking about Shinji in 3.33, but Misato doesn't get much screentime so its hard to say. I just hope those 3 put their differences aside quickly and become friends again.

She is only dragging him back to Misato's base for orders, before she would have happily killed him on those same orders too.

All of Asuka's scenes are about Shinji because she isn't a fucking character in Rebuild. She's a shallow shell that's about as interesting to watch as paint dry.

She also looks likes a transvestite man donkey witch.

Well she explain her reasoning why she punched the glass, here is a question: Why did Asuka yell out Shinji to help her and then start to cry?

>All of Asuka's scenes are about Shinji because she isn't a fucking character in Rebuild. She's a shallow shell that's about as interesting to watch as paint dry.

At first I thought you were implying that Asuka is an anti-hero, but now you've outed yourself with this bait, Reifag.

>>151780875
Because she knew Shinji was in there, and she was lost for what to do. She didn't fucking cry, she thinks he's a fucking freak and gladly steps up to the plate to kill him later in the movie.

>>151766058
It's Anno's retrial to fuck over his fanbase again. The original plot is subverted. Mari is the new Rei, who was intended to be an emotionless doll to make people feel disgusted at their own taste, but since character development backfired that plan, mari is a mindless slut with no personality either. I don't really like her, but i guess most people are too busy fapping to her to focus on her poor character (which was intended), so it sort of backfired again.

It teases us with a new plot involving some nervous system key, which he will never reveal. It teased us with third impact by not showing us how it happened and putting a lot of bullshit later on.

And the CGI sucks, the 2010's digital shading with gradients sucks. The whole thing sucks.

>>151780910
Her eyes twinkle at the thought of Shinji saving her.

>she thinks he's a fucking freak and gladly steps up to the plate to kill him later in the movie.

But she didn't, she holds his hand at the end. You're just mad that Shinji and Asuka will be spending significant time together in the next movie.

>>151780950
Her eyes only shine after Shinji saves her, and it's clearly shock going on there.
That's why next time she sees him she punches the glass in rage. He's just a freaky weird ugly kid to her, she'd rather kill him or deal with other shit.

She grabs his hand at the end to drag him to Misato, you clearly see her pulling him by the wrist.
And in the preview for the next movie we see Asuka and Mari piloting an Eva together, so looks like you're gonna be the mad one here when they make her out to be a fucking butch dyke.

Name a character uglier than Asuka.
Protip: You can't!

>>151781001
Except that's wrong, she's mad and sad at him that Shinji didn't try to save her. Nowhere does she considers him a freak, she even calls him baka shinji still.

You still haven't answered why Asuka calls out for his help by accident in the beginning of the movie.

Where does she say she's mad and sad?
And she doesn't call him baka, she calls him gaki now.
He's just a little kid to her now. A fucking pathetic ugly freak of a child.

She wants to kill him because he's a freaky monster.

And I did answer that, but you can't read.

>>151781071
We don't mention that name here.

Asuka is still fucking hideous and looks like a man, regardless.

>>151781121
>And she doesn't call him baka, she calls him gaki now.
With deliberate effort. When she calls to his tomb to save her or she's shocked to see him in an eva again it's by the name she crawled into his bed to give him.

>>151781209
That was the first scene in the movie you fucking retard, after that she only calls him gaki.

>Where does she say she's mad and sad?

She said for 14 years she's been stricken with grief and anger, she punches the glass and Shinji falls to his kneed. She says "none of your business!"

fastforward to the fight, she yet again yells out "None of your business!" then she explains her reasoning at the end.

>And she doesn't call him baka, she calls him gaki now.

Except she does, she yells out "DO SOMETHING BAKA SHINJI!" a few times after that.

>And I did answer that, but you can't read.

I saw it, its still not a good enough answer. She didn't yell it out because he knew he was there, she yelled it out because she still thinks about that day when Shinji didn't try to save her.

>Asuka is still fucking hideous and looks like a man, regardless.

You're not even trying to hide it.

>>151781228
She said Baka shinji at least a couple of times.

She has nothing but anger for him, and that's why she's able to try and kill him so easily.

>>151781280
Nope, rewatch the movie. She only says it in the beginning. After she decides to use gaki when he escapes with Rei Q, she only ever uses gaki again,

the digital color sucks

the plot is mostly a rehash, and its only a ~90 minute film so it cant develop characters in any different ways

it just feels like a giant troll desu, its a bad fucking idea to have people build up hype for YEARS for a new EVA thing and then it's only a ~90 minute episode. You just can't do the hype justice in that format.

Shikinami was never in the original series, she is a new character.

>>151781340
He's an idiot again for the second she realizes he's in EVA-13.

>>151781532
She is still Asuka, and her character only has minor changes and a last name change.

The return to instrumentality is inevitable, anyway.

>>151781604
She's not. Both the creator and all the staff stated she is a completely new character.
She has a new background, new identity, new personality, everything.

Soryu is gone from existence and Shikinami is new to Rebuild.

>>151781641
Then why keep the Asuka name?

>>151780117
>forgetting about the purple haired girl

>>151781686
Because they can make more money reusing character designs from the previous series for figures and merchandising.

Kaworu is an otaku and fujoshit detector the character, he's literally a merciful Jesus God with no flaws who can be loved by any pleb (confirmed by Anno). The most boring character of Eva, the only reason he's so popular is his sex appeal, stupid otaku fappers like to fap after all.
If you like Kaworu you have shit taste and you need to immediately kill yourself to join him in Instrumentality. Proceed.

He is also a fallen angel that tempts an honest, vulnerable person into sudokucide and kills all of his friends and family, before claiming his soul.
Kaworu is there to show that Shinji is in no way ready for a real relationship. He'd rather take something for nothing (like Satou with the pyramid scheme) than accept the pain and struggle of having someone in his life.

>>151781796
Asuka was always the most popular Eva character

>>151782650
One is suave, the other is a shut-in. The anime also goes to some length to portray Kaji as a positive influence on Shinji, and Gendo as someone who is afraid to open up to his kid.
I would have expected the opposite to be true in terms of popularity.

>>151783469
Kaji is rather forgettable in hindsight, whereas Gendo is famous even outside of the Evangelion fanbase to other Anime fans who have never even seen the show.

You don't have to be likable to be popular and well-known.
