Aliens accidentally seeded Earth with two different dominant lifeforms, angels and humans. SEELE and NERV are both using alien technology to try and destroy the angels while turning humanity into a giant hivemind through Intsrumentality. However, SEELE wants to use Instumentality to become gods while Gendo just wants it so he can see his wife again, so he secretly works against them. All the other characters are just caught in the middle.

>>217163804why did Gendo's retarded ass work against SEELE? aren't their plans literally the same?
>>217163538>>OG>Human interaction is difficult and painful but it's worth the try>>Rebuilds>Give me your moneyftfy
>>217163804Good explanation overall, but I never understood SEELE's goals and plans. For a while there it seemed they were all in with the hivemind thing, which seems to be the opposite of what a powerful group would want. How could they possibly escape or profit from that situation?
>>217164124They thought that they would be top dogs.
>>217163538I now understand why eva incels hated the rebuilds so much.
>>217163838It's not just a funny coincidence that it sounds like he's talking about NGE. The basis of many cult religions and ideologies is gnosticism, which begins with the belief that the natural world is a prison, and thus advocates ascending this existence by various means. If you mix it with a secret government organization, the means is transformation of humanity through enlightened technocracy. So it makes a lot of sense that Alex Jones's view of politics mirrors a dystopian sci-fi like NGE.

>>217163455Lonely people find it easier to merge every human soul together through magically advanced technology than to talk to each other.
>>217163455Call be a simpleton but so, the board of directors funded NERV to prevent angels from causing apocalypse but secretly wanted angels to win?De fuck?
>>217164055seele was literally just a jewish illuminati who wanted to conquer death and kind of take over the world via the fusing of all human consciousness into onewhether or not Lorenz and the boys believed they'd have any real will to manifest after the process is not really addressedGendo's plan was to hijack all the Seele infrastructure that he'd been put in charge of to reunite with Yui via the same process, and that's basically the extent of his plansThis is all explained explicitly in the show.
>>217164124It's not that they're plotting instrumentality because they're a powerful group, rather they're power hungry because they're plotting instrumentality. Their dream is to become human soup. That's the mission of their group.
>>217164055No. Instrumentality was inevitable, but SEELE would have trapped humanity in the sludge forever while Yui/Gendo wanted to give them a chance to escape.
Teenage boys like teenage girls, so do creepy older men. So to appeal to this the Japs made an anime with two teen girls wearing skintight body suit things.
reminder that if you don''t realize misato is the best girl, you have failed
>>217164088thread\
>>217164455That's what I got from it too, but still it doesn't make sense, I always had a feeling there was a catch to that. Powerful people tend to increase the divide between them and the others. We are led to think they are above all governments and institutions, so they must have their tentacles around them all. How could they keep power hungry people on a leash like that while chasing the human soup thing? Gendo was an in an interesting position, because he was being manipulated by Seele, but in fact he wanted the merge to happen more than anyone else to reconnect with his wife. I thought Seele's plan was a bait and switch, making Gendo work for them with this discourse, but then controlling the situation and actually stopping the third impact from happening. Gendo would be doing the opposite, pretending Nerv was there to naively fight these monsters, but secretly wanting the impact.
>>217164124The creators of the PlayStation game interviewed Gainax staff, and wrote that SEELE actually wanted to merge only themselves inside an Evangelion to become a new God. They mention deviating from their scenario in EoE, so it might be what they wanted. >>217164428If any angel won, they would recreate the world according to their particular desires. According to Kaworu, that involves killing everyone. No hivemind, they just die.
>>217164816>PlayStation gameNot canon. Was never canon. Will never be canon. Stop bringing up that shit in NGE discussions and muddying up the waters. Only the show and EoE are canon.

BIG ROBOT FIGHT BIG MONSTER MAKE ME DEPRESSED BECAUSE MY MOTHER IS DEAD AND MY FATHER THINKS I'M A FAG
>>217164764Seele didn't know about Gendo having Kaiji steal the Adam embryo and didn't know he'd fused it into his hand.They suspected he was going to betray them, and that's why they sent the army in to kill everyone at NERV, but they obviously didn't know this was pointless because they rejoice when instrumentality begins, which means they had no idea that Gendo would've taken full control of the process if Rei hadn't chosen Shinji over him
What's amazing is that the Frenzied Flame ending of Elden Ring is the same, and it's also plotted by a group of (((merchants))) who previously got genocided for having tried to do it before and they worship some 3 finger demon and want all suffering to end by killing everybody and then they think they are messiahs for doing so.
>>217164909Gendo was based and completely correct for shtting on Shinji. Imagine being a brilliant scientist and politician like Gendo and seeing this spineless whiny faggot and not feeling utter contempt for the botched failson.
>>217164991The Frenzied Flame isn't a hivemind like Instrumentality is though, it literally just wipes everything out
>>217165033>being upset as his son failing because he never bothered to raise him due to simping too hard for his dead wife for over a decadeyeah, so based
>>217165033Shinji being a spineless whiny faggot is entirely Gendo's fault thoughbeit
>>217164055>>217164547Yui's plan, and by extension Gendo's, was to leave behind Eva 01 as an "ark", proof of humanity's existence and maybe a chance to be reborn once the inevitable Third Impact passes. I don't really understand how but i think this was achieved by Gendo sabotaging SEELE's original design by making Rei throw the real Lance of Longinus at the angel and forcing them to rely on the mass produced Evas/fake lances.
>>217165053>>217165062t. botched failsons mad at their infinitely more accomplished fathers
>>217165033If Gendo visited once in a while and showed slightly more (fake) emotion Shinji would probably be fine
>>217163538>Human interaction is difficult and painful but it's worth the trythis
>>217165114you understand Gendo's plan blew up his face 5 seconds before he completed it because Shinji sucks and needed a parent and Rei was in mom mode and chose to fuck off and to Shinji, right?It's completely Gendo's fault.
>>217165154>It's completely Gendo's faultTrue. He should have never relied on a foid for anything important. Amateur mistake.
Look at all the nerds ITT trying to explain Evangelion with nerd logic.
>>217165202somehow the most inexplicable change in this movie is Kaji flirting with Shinji
>>217165033Gendo is the same as Shinji, a lonely autistic retard that had the potential for more, but in both cases love was their driving force, and thus the lack of it made them who they are. It was only the outside that made them different.
>>217163538>Have sex>but not with Rei, Asuka, or Misato! I mean have sex by easily finding a big titty Mary Sue, of course. And if you can't find one, that just means you're a giant loser more pathetic than Shinji!
>>217165272I knew that Kaji was a little light in his loafers when he rejected prime aryan redhead pussy.
>>217163804I watched Neon Genesis Evangelion and didn't pick up any of this. Am I retarded bros?
>>217165320You were just hypnotized by jailbait in skintight suits. Happens to the best of us.
>>217165295For me it’s the fact that she’s old enough to be his mother, and in fact helped his parents hook up
>>217163804>two different lifeformsnoangels and humans are not different lifeformshumans are collectively an angel
>>217164985Damn, I need to watch it again.
>>217163455Hebes are erotic
>>2171652953 loves theory, kindaMisato is a love based on lust or puppy loveAsuka and Rei are the equally hardest to love, it doesn't matter if Shinji picked one of them, it wouldn't work and it will tear them afterMary is the love that comes unexpected yet is the one that's based on your past and finally lets you move on

>>217164857They are not canon BUT - the hidden data is really based on info provided by staff including the great man, Anno- nothing in the hidden data contradicts or retcons what we are shown in the show / movie- everything in the hidden data makes sense, doesn't feel like ass pull, and complements or clarifies what's in the show
>>217165320No it's quite obscure and it took nerds quite a few years to piece together what's really going on, thanks to 1990s and early 2000s internet bulletin board discussions
incoherent monster of the week mess with random christian imagery tossed about because the head honcho thought it looked cool.
It’s the audience, who NGE speaks to, and what it speaks about. The whole series is a living breathing drawing about the struggles of existing and connecting in the modern world and it resonates the most with those people who typically have struggled to connect or communicate with others. NGE focuses a lot on the hands - the same hands that one uses to reach out, one also uses to harm, sometimes incidentally with intent for the other. It’s those same hands which we sometimes find close enough to reach out to the other, and yet they remained closed and at one’s sides, even in times of deep personal crisis. To those of us who are autistic enough to where NGE speaks deeply to us on some existential level, it screams at the top of lungs what it feels like to be human, and specifically, what it feels like to be the the kind of human who always feels lost and closed off and it presents in such a way that is absolutely salient for us being anime and allBasically, NGE theorizes that, for whatever reason, there are some people who feel their other-ness, their innate alienation, their individuality, and the privation and conflict of wills that arise from that, much more deeply and with more force than others. The deep and extremely painful irony of all this that NGE does so well is shine light on how it’s often those very people who struggle most to do the one thing we have as humans that gives us the ability to cope with our other-ness and that’s to reach out and really connect with others. The people who are most aware of their illness are ironically those who feel the most powerless to treat it. Your awareness of your illness is your illness and vice versa. You can see how all of us otakus, autistics, aesthetes, and general nerds sympathize with it.

>>217165844Gendo is even more of an incel than Shinji
>>217165953Gendo gets ass constantlyfucked the mommy scientist AND her daughterhe didn't even want to, he did it to manipulate themcan't get more chad than that
>>217163455>No grandma, the girls don't think I'm handsome>Grandson Shinji, you can't truly know what's on another person's mind. You risk rejection but that risk itself is what makes the reward of human connection real and meaningful. You are LE HEDGEHOG because you assume the worst from people. What if you're just...LE WRONG>WOW Thanks Grandma Anno. My depression is cured!>Congratulations.bat
>>217165320none of that shit matters anyway only Misato momgf
>>217165320No, the show is purposeful hard to understand.

Animation is cinema get over it
>>217165320dont worry, the show is just a vehicle for the show makers depression
>>217164705This is truly the only thing that matters in the end
If Shinji is ego, Asuka is superego and Rei is id, what is Marichan?
>>217166131He also probably fucks the Rei clones
>>217163455Shinji is the creator's self-insert that he wrote while going through a bought of severe depression. No, I'm not making this up.It's a good monster of the week show, but that's it.
>>217163838Kek, I was gonna post this.
>>217167966>It's a good monster of the week show, but that's it.Holy filtered. What a pseud you are.
>>217167708his peanits
>>217168058Look sugar tits. I used to be like you and think there was some deeper meaning to NGE, but then I saw all the newer reboot sequel/remake stuff and it ruined everything about the show. Then the creator himself said exactly what I stated here >>217167966 in interviews.The forgettable character in this anon's pic here >>217167708 that's just an insert of the girlfriend he got in the 20 years since the original. He also got over his depression because he got a big titty GF.None of this is hyperbole.NGE isn't deep and we all saw more to it than was actually there. I'm sorry you're just now finding this out.
>>217164275I just found them boring. Couldn't finish 3.0 because I literally fell asleep.
>>217168236Pseud harder, reddit boi

>>217168236>He lets other movies ruin the showLol get good
>>217168305Go back tranny
>>217165320Nah. Most people don't pick up on even a quarter of the shit that's going on in it, even the fans.It's coz it's poorly writtten, not because you're stupid.Once you understand it all, and you go back and rewatch it, it all makes perfect sense and you wonder how you didn't understand it in the first place, and it makes subsequent viewings much better, and you can then start focusing on how technically brilliant it is, especially the way scenes are framed, and the editing is absolutely top notch.
>>217165320Don't feel bad. Most people are media illiterate. If you check out forums from the 2000s, most people didn't even know the combine from Half Life 2 were aliens.
>>217163455You see, it's all a work to proclaim Satan as God, and the weebs lapped it up like the cattle they are.
>>217168392You speak in redditisms
>>217167966>It's a good monster of the week show, but that's it.Only the first half is a monster of the weeks how... the entire point is it flips that trope upside down in the second half and becomes something entirely new.
>>217168544Anon you're probably talking about children
>>217163455Someone post the orange soda end of envagelion memes with the simpsons and king of the hill and peanuts
>>217163455Hedgehog bitches in skintight pvc screaming in agony
>>217168485No I didn't. I like the show for what is, giant mecha fighting giant monsters. That's cool.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8AsDNmY94k
>>217168585Yeah, and it's no coincidence that the 2nd half of the show is when the series starts to drop off, hard.
Weebs are retarded manchildren who never grew out of their fascination with media made for little children. That's why they worship slop like Evangelion instead of actual adult shows like Naruto.
dont reply to him

>>217169041Maybe it's because I'm an adult, but Asuka is just way too bitchy and has no likeable qualities
>>217170196Yeah, same. I can see the "I can fix her" being appealing when you're younger and both of you are immature, but when you're older, you don't have the time for that shit.
