>In an attempt to save his mindless waifu (Rei), Shinji condemned the entire world (his life) to suffering through his selfishness, ultimately dragging the people in his life with him for 14 years. He wakes up again, and now everyone either despises or pities him, forever young as a metaphor for his childishness, caused by his (and the Eva fans’) social withdrawal, and as a meta-commentary on fans not letting the characters grow up and continuing to use the series as escapism.>The movie ends with Asuka (Anno’s self-insert) forcefully dragging Shinji forward, making him lose his ultimate symbol of escapism: his SDAT player.>If you can (not) advance and stay drowned in self-indulgence, you will suffer, lose time, and destroy the relationships you have, and that's something you can (not) redo.How is Anno so good? Why did /a/ hate this movie so much? Does it hit too close to home?
>Asuka (Anno’s self-insert)Asuka didn't marry Mari though
>>282474803Anno's autistic over the top crusade against escapism is what stopped evangelion from being good desu. Some day I'll watch the last movie out of curiosity
>crying bloodCRRIIIIIIINGEEEEEEE
>>282474803>He wakes up again, and now everyone either despises or pities him,And it takes everyone hours to even begin explaining why they hate him/pity him. It doesn't occur to anybody that he is a dumb kid forced to kill monstrous abominations with everyone perfectly aware things could go wrong, but when they indeed go wrong it's Shinji fault only and nobody can even take 5 seconds to tell him>you caused third impact you stupid countApparently that's too much for the actual adults in the series.>his SDAT playerWhich unless I'm remembering wrong was a memento of his mother or something like that, so a huge count move.>>If you can (not) advance and stay drowned in self-indulgence, you will sufferWrong Evangelion. That was the original series.Through the Rebuilds, Anno taught us that money and bitches can solve everything, so stop being a whiny bitch and just get over your problems
