| People can have an opinion and want to discuss it... I don't get people coming on here being like "just don't watch the movie 5head, let people enjoy it blah blah". I honestly didn't like it either at first. The fanservice was pretty jarring and I was honestly just super confused. I wish they had stuck to the apocalyptic ending (personal preference). It was only when a friend explained the plot of the film to me that I started to think it was actually okay. But you're allowed to be confused about something and dislike it. We have forums like this so people can discuss media. I hate when people give the lazy response of "if you don't like the series don't watch it". At least think of something more interesting to say. |
Davine231 said: This film is remarkably similar to the latest code geass film, pure shallow fanservice that appeals to virgins and no plot. Actually strike that, the code geass film did have a plot, it was weak, but it was at least coherent unlike this incoherent gibberish. Somewhere along the lines, the writer realized that hes created a cult and its members live vicariously through Shinji as hes the perfect embodiment of a 14 yo reject, aka the viewer. And so he creates a film that is pure gibberish, but has a 'happy ending' and nice asuka titties which satisfies the viewer since, as I said, they're living vicariously through Shinji as a loser. He must be laughing his way to the bank, not believing how easy it is to rake in millions off the gibberish he just produced: "Oh the spear of longinus turned into a spear of cassius, the beloved cassius of akaskasha. Asuka's third eye empowered through the blood of adam but wait whats this.. a replica of nier herself turning asuka into orange soda through the astral realm, how UNEXPECTED!!! The enemy has a bk-00323t23x infused with the latest 3422T0x0GTX3080, but no matter our RF232 has better propulsion, NOSE DIVE into the PURIFIED REALM NOW!" - and the horde of cultists go, hmm yes, very profound indeed, such great sci-fi. What a gullible flock of mindless fanatics elevating this garbage franchise to such undeserved heights when its nothing more than a mediocre pile of drivel. It had a plot, all the terms and plot points were set up - they were not random as you suggest; you just didn't understand them. That isn't an insult towards you, that is normal for Eva upon a first watch. Evangelion spends no time explaining and letting things sink in, so you have to spend time making the connections afterwards. Evangelion is to be more experienced than understood at first, it is very aesthetic and psychological. Having said that, there is logic, plot and the terms / events do make sense, but again, good luck to anyone understanding it all on the first watch through. That is part of what Eva is all about. If you don't like this about the series, that is fine - to each their own. But to suggest it has no plot and is stupid - simply because you don't choose to engage with it in the way it was written to be engaged with - I find very head scratching. |

| Well, that's just like... your opinion, man. |
| Avatar: The Last Airbender is an anime |
| But a lot of people love it so clearly it's working? |
 |
| Cool story but it did have a plot. Also, only real virgins say R-tard stuff like "this movie appeals to virgins". Gtfo with this annoying post |

| OP didn't have the balls to write his "Hot take" through his main account, so he's dodging the heat with an alt, LMAO. Also, I love how some people are still keeping up the narrative that the Rebuilds are "just lazy cash-grabs by Anno". Newsflash: if your end-goal is to phone it in for a project meant to milk your fanbase off of some easy money, it's probably not in your best interest to take nearly a whole fucking decade to put out the last entry! |
| tbf Anno did say he hated what Eva had become and i feel like half the shit he did was just to get back which is funny, plus for me this was the best evangelion. |
MaicolThePigeon said: Sure, but if you look around enough, you'll find people that loved Catwoman (2005), The Happening and After Earth. But that doesn't make them good movies, does it?I don't really carre about this, I watched and loved it because I enjoyed a lot |
FelleBanan_ygsr said: Then you missed the point. Since Eva is all about facing reality and living despite pain. And yet, this movie glorifies escapism, Shinji ends up creating an alternate world, a normal one that didn't go trough any impacts, and escapes to said world with his Mary Sue GF that fell from the sky, Rei and Kaworu, instead of staying in the original world.Okeanix said: People who liked this movie shouldn't call themselves Evangelion Fan. I guess I'm not an Evangelion fan despite having read the manga, seen the original series thrice, seen EoE (which is my favourite film of all time btw) probably 6 or 7 times, seen the first three rebuilds twice and the final thrice. I loved this movie. |
Okeanix said: And yet, this shitshow is rated much higher than both the original anime and a masterpiece like End of Evangelion. The anime community is a joke.People who liked this movie shouldn't call themselves Evangelion Fan. |

I could just as easily say that you're the one who missed the point. We've already seen Shinji go through "escapism = bad". This time it's aimed directly at the audience, and that's why Shiji wishes the Evangelions out of existence. Literally "Evangelion(s) won't make you happy, go back to the real world". There's so much more about the film that makes when you look at it in a meta way. Same with Mari. You seem to have entirely missed that the point of her character was to be a shallow waifu. This is the way I took it the first time I watched this film especially considering the storied history of Anno's style of writing and storytelling which in and of itself is of course very "meta" for lack of a better term. Tbh I think relegating this film to escapism glorification is marginalizing it. |

More than 20+ years of virgin nerd arguments over Best Eva Girl and every complaint under the sun about Shinji and your conclusion is that viewers who relate to his teen angst and suffering are vicariously living through him? People are relating their emotions and experiences to the main protagonist of a fictional series? Absolutely wild and unheard of Thanks for the laugh |
janoDX said: It seems to have ruffled quite a few feathers. I see it's popular on MAL to be contrarian and call the movie garbage, judging by the "top reviews". I mean Anno leaves a very clear message on the movie for those complaining here for whatever reason, "touch grass". |

MugenNoShirayuki said: TheFreezerman said: I mean this is the final steps for the series(unless anno tries again) so ofcourse there'd be fanservice. However the movie was able to take the original series and the manga and somehow fuse them to give us a great ending and it left no major plotholes Major plot hole: Why does Shinji who has spent the last three and a half movies obsessed with Rei ("his" Ayanami, not the black suit) and then after reuniting with her dumps her out of nowhere for a girl he's had scarcely any interaction with? If you ask me, that's a plot hole. Tenshi_Budo said: Majority of the CGI was intentionally jarring. Literally nearly half of the entire Japanese animation industry helped production, so I seriously doubt "bad CGI" was anything but intentional.The CGI was painfully bad. Plot was gibberish, "hey lets get all internet theories and make them cannon, fans will love us!" "Plus, put a shit ton of naked girls! Fanservise! Fanservise!" "Now wrap it up with terrible CGI made by underpaid shady studios in korea and get this over with! We've been in production hell for far too long we cant let people notice we have no clue what to do with this horrendous clusterfuck we built!" "Oh, dont forget to put out overseas locations to pamper western audiences! Actually, do it on the very first scene!" "How Kaiji died and how his death actually stopped third impact? Unimportant! Just show him giving a speech then flying away or something!" Omg omg omg, this was so bad, I wasnt even expecting anything after previous movies and I still got disappointed, impressive, bravo on how bad they f.ed it up. Anyways, I could go on about this for hours, but just thinking about it makes me sad, oh god the CGI, the CGI! Gendo character complete assassiation, oh Lord, why. NGE + EoE its where its at, all else is garbage. Peace out. |

HeroicIdealism said: I'm on my main account and I can safely agree with the OP that this movie was an incoherent piece of shit I can respect that. I'm perfectly fine with people having a differing opinion from mine as long as they're open and sincere about standing by it... instead of hiding behind the proverbial skirts like OP did. That's just cowardly, and makes them impossible to take seriously. |

If movie was actually good actual rating would be like 9+ instead 8.72 because we saw this on other series like Fruits Basket Final. |

The most upvoted reviews are the negative ones because they're giving good arguments for why the movie sucked so much ass using facts and logic. The positive reviews are just emotional consoomer fanboys saying shit like "thank you mr anno" over and over and "my boy Shinji is finally happy",ignoring all the huge and blatant problems of the movie. |
| I liked it. Gave me a sense of closure and this time, Shinji finally escapes escapism |
