So were the angels (not human) that served as the antagonists of the series just trying to free their dad (Adam) due to some sort of loyalty or love they had for him, or was something else going on?Help me out pls
Also, can someone explain to me what exactly happened to the first progenitor race? What exactly was their motivation for ruining the galaxy the way they did with their negligence
Brother it literally does not matter, Anno was making all of that shit up as he went along with no real plan, Eva is about what it means to be human and make connections with others and whether the inherent pain that comes from opening up is worth it (it is), don't worry about the "lore".
>>285196567They were attracted to the Seeds of Life because absorbing them would allow to transcend or something.>>285196599Ruin how?
>>285196635They created a bunch of unnecessary conflict between their creations due to lack of oversight It’s like they all collectively said “not my problem” and poured all the orange goop down the drain
>>285196625I will worry, stop trying to reassure me by telling me to have fun reeee
>>285196650As far as we know, it only happened once, and the FAR has no way of knowing about it.
>>285196738It resulting in tons of Adam’s spawns getting killed and then later 98% of humanity getting JUSTed thoBut now that you mention it, I do wonder what else is out there in that universe and if they would react with hostility as well
>>285196567I'm not sure if the angels even had the capacity for love or loyalty.They had the fruit of life, not knowledge, so they may have operated on pure instinct.
>>285196567They are 'berserker' units. When they detect a life form capable of perhaps being a technological rival to their creator species they send a series of increasingly more powerful and sophisticated attacking units, and the target is ultimately provoked into destroying itself by building increasingly powerful weapons that have self destructive secondary effects. The idea was copied from a series of novels written during the Cold War by American author Fred Saberhagen.
>>285196781It's just one planet, it's not that important in the grand scheme of the galaxy.
>>285196567Adam looks like an eva unit with the armor/bindings intact before they were made.Anno ever explain that one.
>>285197650It didn't have the shoulder pylons when they first found it dormant but it did have them when it was fucking shit up. They were probably restraints like they are on the Evas. Or else the Eva engineers were nerds and wanted their robots to look more like the thing they were copying.
>>285196567Be it conscientious or instinct, the angeks sought out Adam because they needed Adam to terraform the planet into an ecosystem actually suitable for them
>>285196650Each planet was only meant to have either a seed of life or seed of knowledge not both
>>285196567They can't tell the difference between Lilith's body and Adam's. Not even Kaworu (Adam's soul) could tell the difference until shortly before he died. They wanted to initiate third impact with Adam, but it was all hopeless for them.Lilith was waiting at the bottom, so even if they could cause another impact event (don't think they could), it wouldn't be the one they wanted.It was all a giant trap to kill off the Angels.
>>285197819This is the answer. Two seeds miraculously landed on one planet. Fucking with Adam re-awakened that seed's instinct to inseminate the planet with life.
>>285196567Dinosaurs. Its always been dinosaurs.
>>285196567None of this fucking shit matters, it's just surface level fluff. What Evangelion did that made it so groundbreaking and influential was not painting crosses and mysticism and giant robots on everything, it was that it delved into the human psyche and explored the possibility that there were no easy tidy answers to be found there.
>>285199994do you really just go around complaining that people like talking about things you have no interest in?You can like eva for more than one reason, it's perfectly fine.
>>285196599They were facing extinction, so they sent the seeds of life. Lilith and adam. Adam was meant to terraform the planet, and lilth would then create life. But shit got screwy, Adam didn't activate, lilith created life anyway. Then the angels (children of Adam) activated and terraformed the planet and started trying to activate lilith.
>>285196599>be the first intelligent race to evolve>master all science and mysticism>achieve instrumentality>it fucking sucks>life, death, self, other, all loses meaning. >No other life has evolved that they can find, and they don't want to have been the only things to ever live>create the seeds of life and knowledge, put them in black moons that have inscribed on their walls glyphs that explain what the seeds are and what not to do for the sake of the intelligent species those seeds will create>program the black moons to go as far away from each other as possible to prevent other races falling into the trap that is mistaking instrumentality for anything good>then one way or another, delete themselves from existencea good degree of this is speculation but the only primary source is the Classified Information Files, which are lore notes from the series bible that Gainax provided to the devs of Evangelion 2 to put into their game as unlockable secretshttps://wiki.evageeks.org/Classified_Information_(Translation)#First_Ancestral_Race
The entire Evangelion series is just one grand therapy session for Anno that ends with 3.0. How does it feel being a psychological cuck having invested in this series all these years only for it all to have been the story of one man's emotional growth? Bet you feel pretty stupid now huh?
The fact some of you newfags dont realize this is an /a/ copypasta meme saddens me greatly.
>>285202481So kill me
>>285196567spooky
>>285199994Hideaki Anno - Father of Psychology
It's just fanta sea.
>>285196567They were trying to meld with Lilith because that is their nature. The Angels are Will without reason, and so they desire and affirm themselves nakedly and without any sort of human rationale.
