Could a live action Evangelion ever work? I think it could.

>>79325442
Yeah, it's called Pacific Rim.

>>79325442
Yep.

>>79325550
Pretty much.

>>79325550

as posted previously,Pacific rim is pretty much it.
Evangelion wouldb be too edgy and weird for normies.

>completely missing the tone and point of NGE

Not suprising, considering youre posting on /tv/.

>>79325550
But Pacific Rim is good

>>79325653

what tone? the fucking talking penguin and shit? or the pseudo intellectual CROSSES EVERYWHERE religious imagery? the main characters not being angsty 13 year olds? or the faggot angel guy from the penultimate episode?

It'd bomb hard

>>79325688
How about a single ounce of plot beyond THE ROBOTS NEED TO FIGHT DA MONSTERS!

What the fuck did I just watch? Is this some fan-made animation? Looks pretty cool and makes me want to start up Eva now.

Also: as with actual show
>have the benefit of flight
>hover at an altitude that the Eva (Angel in the show) can rekk your shit
For what purpose? Fly way up out of reach and shoot from there. Or be more than 10 feet from it god damn.

>>79325721

That's essentially what Evangelion is you retard except they dress it up a bit so teenagers are impressed by it.

Have Anno shoot it as a complete parody, like his Cutie Honey or that Ultraman short. I can't see it working any other way.

>>79325721
what once of the plot precisely?the gay relationship between shinji and kaworu?people evolving into literally tangerine?Gendo being a pedo that is in love with rey?Misato being an attention whore used by kaji?
NGE is just too much fucked up.

>>79325725
Officially licensed "fan animation"

>>79325792
yes. All of that counts as plot that is absent in Pacific Rim

>>79325550

In the simplest terms Eva is about its characters and dealing with self loathing. It's is not considered good because of muh the symbolism or DEEPness or whatever you seem to think. Of course the characters and concept of Eva would be butchered and it would turn into a Michael Bay film about robots fighting monsters to appeal to general audiences.

>>79325756
I like the sound of that actually...

>>79325688
the penguin never talked, idiot

>>79325875
It talked during Shinji's internal dialogue if I remember correctly...

>>79325442
No, because the budget would be too high and story is too complex to fit in a two hour movie

>>79325827

I watched Eva for the robots and the overall setting.

Weak characters with issues annoy the hell out of me (most Eva characters), unless they serve a plot purpose and are either killed off ASAP or improve themselves.

Anyone un-ironically likes Eva for its character development is either a masochist or self-inserting their own shitty life into it.

>>79325987
>Budget too high
No higher than any other giant monster/mech movie

>>79326010
Yes but typically those movies are part of a pre-existing franchise (transformers, marvel)
Evangelion isn't mainstream enough for studios to risk spending hundreds of millions of dollars on it

>>79325997
From reading your post I can tell your opinion isn't very valuable

Stuff like this makes me wonder how close something like the Jeger designs can get before being considered straight up ripping off.

Unit 02 on the left there is already coming close

>>79326064

That's fine. Strong audiences identity with strong characters. Weak audiences identify with weak characters.

Now neck yourself before you bring your dad more shame.

>>79326574
Idiots identify with one or the other when in reality both have plenty of value

>>79326158
NOOOO
NOW WE WILL NEVER GET EVAS

Be honest with me. As someone who doesn't like most anime, is eva worth watching?

>>79327538
yes,no,maybe,i dont know.

>>79326574
I identify with Driver. What does that make me?

>>79327538
It was made early on and it doesnt have that weird thing that most animes do where they lower the animation quality and have the character turn into characatures of themselves to push a joke or over reaction.

Its decent and keeps itself serious, if you are into a show about mechs and a type or realistic toll it might pay on the people that use them then yes (also last 2 episodes are kino, the movie is shit).

>>79327538
It's widely considered the best anime series ever made so you should decide for your self

>>79327538

Yes, it's a trip.

>>79327538
Yes. Watch End of Evangelion after the series, it's a very good film. The remake movies are kinda garbage compared to the original series, but also worth a try if you want more.

>>79325550
That didn't work though. It was an utter box office failure.

>>79328513
>widely
almost all normal people who are into anime don't know what NGE is :-)

>>79325550
That was Godannar the Movie, though.

>>79325550

The thing about the jaegers is they don't capture the primal rawness of the eva units (of course because the evas are actually organic creatures)

>>79329270
No, it was a "disappointing" box office return. It made enough to justify a sequel.

fuck no it wasn't.

>>79325550
PR and EVA both are takes on giant robot anime cliches, both handle it very differently.

>>79329342
Most anyone who is significantly interested in anime has seen or at the very least heard about it. It's one of the most popular shows ever made and likely the most acclaimed ever. Of course by your logic I guess Naruto and The Big Bang Theory must be considered the pinnacle of their art forms because more "normal people" watch it.

>>79325725
because the Angels are trying to actively get to a particular mcguffin under the city, the EVAs are an inconvenience to them, not the goal

>>79325792
I mean, I think it's pretty important we get live-action shinji x kaworu in my lifetime

>>79325997
yes, NGE is mostly watched by people who are depressed, lonely and fucked up, that's basically who the franchise is aimed towards (teenagers)

>>79326058
not mainstream enough for western studios perhaps
in Japan it's like Thunderbirds, Star Wars and Chris Nolan rolled into one franchise

>>79327538
yes
make sure you watch the "director's cut" version of episodes 21-24 and also watch the finale, End of Evangelion

>>79327690
autistic

>>79327538
Definitely
Eva transcends anime
