Jet Alone is the hero Evangelion needed, not the one it deserved.

>>14030398

It didn't have one of those fancy magic shields. And it didn't look that nimble.

It would have been destroyed in one hit by an angel.

It is impressive for what it is, but it's not in the same class as Angels.

Revoltech / Robot Damashii / SOULSpec / Chogokin when?

I don't understand peoples obsession with this episode. It was filler and not even any good.

>>14030759

It was interesting as hell and a change of pace from Angel of the Week episodes. It shows humans using fully human technology trying to create something that could challenge Angels. And it showed NERV are shifty motherfuckers who do under handed things.

It's so deep and multi-layered.

>>14030762

The latter part is more important than the former. This is the first real indication that we get that Nerv is doing something serious in the shadows. You knew Gendo was a jerk, but the Jet Alone incident made it clear that this went far beyond just him.

JET ALONE

DID NOTHING WRONG

I fucking love Jet Alone

>>14030767

Just like an onion.

>evas
>somehow not human technology
we reverse engineered god, i'd say that's pretty good for human tech don't you think?

i did like that ep for the NERV underhandedness and stuff as well, of course.

>>14031463

Jet Alone is 100% all-human. Make Humanity great again; buy products made by humans, not NERV's cheap, reverse-engineered crap that they can't even control.

Anon has a low-energy sense of humor. Sad!

I don't like lazy and poorly done jokes, is all. Not my fault that anon has no comedic sense.

Jet Alone appreciation thread

>l-leave trump alone!!
Sorry you got your feelings hurt when someone made fun of your meme candidate

>>14032622

That joke had something to do with Trump? It sounded so much like a generic USA/insert country here is number one that I didn't even realize that.

>>14032608
Well, now I have a reason to buy a Hi-Mock.

>>14032608
I didn't think Jet Alone could look more like Bubs but here we are.

It was a filler episode for sure, but I still kind of like it. It's Misato (mostly) and Shinji dealing with stupid shit that's not an angel, or an existential crisis.

Also it does have SOME importance. It's to show that both NERV and Seele were actively subjugating and sabotaging any other attempts other people developed to fight the Angels cause remember, the Evas weren't made just to fight them.

It's not a critically important question, but it does give a possible answer to the question "why are Eva's the only things man has developed as a defense? Has anyone else tried anything that could work?"

>>14030759
Because the name is a reference to a reference.

>>14030427

Right after we get the Monsterarts Sachiel figure.

Jet alone was a pretty cool robot, it should have been in more of the series.

it's also the best mech probably because it is a mech

>>14031463

>God

They're just aliens.

>>14033256

>Right after we get the Monsterarts Sachiel figure.


you...BASTARD.

>>14035951
adam and lillith have godlike powers that defy the laws of physics, including the ability to destroy all life on the planet and form it into a mass consciousness of souls and tang

sure, they aren't literally god but they have quite some godlike powers

also isn't god technically an alien? he wouldn't be native to earth anyway

>>14032608
That's damn impressive. Makes me wish there was a real Jet Alone model kit.

Reminder that Jet Alone could've saved the day without all the fuss of Evas, but was sacrificed at the altar of Gendo's dead wife issues. It really was a hero.

Also Ritsuko was a skank that was willing to turn the real hero of Eva into a walking nuke that would kill a lot of people because Gendo wanted his waifu back. Misato realized Jet Alone was betrayed at his greatest moment and saved him from himself.

>>14032956
Well, we did see attempted use of conventional weaponry to stop angels before this point. What we hadn't seen was an explanation as to why we needed children to pilot these robots. Arguably, we never got an explanation for that. I have no recollection of AT fields ever being explained much in the show beyond "they're a shield".

Anyway, the episode did give us one of Misato's best moments, so I'm happy for that, at least.

>>14040396
>child pilots
It's probably the fact that the whole "Master Plans" Gendo/SEELE/NERV were going for required a berserk EVA which until the dummy plug needed a pilot that could be disconnected and the reason for the Evangelion to be inclined to enter a protective state. Asuka and Shinji both have their mothers "in" the Evangelion, so that was already settled, and EVA-01 was shown to reject other pilots except for Shinji and the Dummy Plug (and if considering the Rebuild, the Dummy Plug doesn't really count as instead of simply changing who controls it, it literally forces Shinji's hands to cause the attacks, with some berserk elements, like roaring.) EVA-00 never had a Berserk Mode in combat, only doing so once, which has never been explained, unless you believe the theory that it was the body inside it (which in the theory is the Original Rei who got chocked out) mistaking Ritsuko for that one girl that killed OG Rei.
Also, it seems like you needed to be born after the impact, which was 15/14 years ago or so. So even if you want to have mature people, you couldn't.

>>14031461
What are you doing in my swamp?

>>14040396
the evas' soul has to want to help the soul of the child.

the kids were young because that was the minimum age at which they could pilot the robots (which were all generated using family members) and NERV/SEELE had to get the show on the road.

>>14040396
>AT fields ever being explained much in the show beyond "they're a shield".
Go watch episode 24 again.
Kaworu lays out exactly what the AT Field is.

That looks pretty nice actually.

>>14046654

Jet Alone has an ego in my heart, damnit!

>>14031461

That's a poor analogy though, every layer of an onion is exactly the same.

>>14040396

The AT Field is the physical manifestation of your soul. That's why only living beings can project one.
