What are everyone's thoughts, feelings, opinions about both the old and new Evangelion series?
4.0 SPOILERS
I thought the rebuild ending was more depressing than EoE, partly because when given the power to create LITERALLY ANYTHING, Shinji goes ahead and creates a copy of THIS WORLD (evidenced by the use of a live action shot in the end), where he will live as a capitalist salaryman with his literal waifu.
At least in EoE everyone could choose to come out of instrumentality by themselves to create a new world, thus leaving everything ambiguous.
Pure ideology, Mark Fisher is vindicated yet again.
They also couldn't go 5 MINUTES without showing some 14 year old girl ass....
Kunihiko Ikuhara said that if he had made the show he would have ended it with Shinji and Rei meeting after a long time and Rei being pregnant from some guy. Symbolyzing her having managed to escape from her life at NERV and finding happines and connections outside.
It would also be a perfect "fuck you" to all the otakus who don't engage with the themes of the show and treat her as their waifu (a doll).
