>we've examined its DNA, and... it's 99.89% human!It's wondrous to think that just a handful of genes are the difference between you and me and a mile long hovering glass octahedron that shoots laser beams

>>219371275Hunter Schafer it is then
>>219370811yeah,a big part of DNA was considered junk dna,but a big part of that "useless" DNA actually modulates how the rest of the genetic information works depending of ambient inducements.thats why we are so diferent from animals that have simillar dna to us.

Where do the Angels come from? Are they hibernating in Antarctica until something wakes them? Are they spontaneously birthed from Adam? I thought Adam was turned into an embryo and implanted in Gendo's hand? Why was one of the Angels found as an egg inside a volcano? Do all Angels hatch from volcanoes? Then why do several Angels come from space? Do the Angels pop into existence randomly, explaining why they are never detected until they threaten NERV? How was one detected as an egg in a volcano then? If the other Angels can detect Lilith and go after her (Ramiel is drilling directly into Terminal Dogma), and seem to not care that Adam is there too (Zeruel takes no interest in Gendo's hand), how was Kaworu fooled into thinking Adam is in Terminal Dogma?If Rei is a clone of Yui, but has Lilith's soul, whose soul do the Rei copies in the tank have, no one's? Were they created artificially and thus have no soul? How do they copy Lilith's (a giant, ancient alien) soul to put into Rei 2 and 3? Why can't they copy Yui's soul and put it into a Rei so Gendo isn't so emo? Did they split the soul into multiple pieces like a horcrux?
>>219372628No they aren't. gene quantity doesn't equal complexity
>>219371488Fucking hell.
>>219373811Its clearly a reference to those old kaiju films
>>219373811If the First Ancestral Race was hyper intelligent, how did they send out seven Eggs into the possibly trillions of planets in the Milky Way and have two land on the same planet? There's only supposed to be one to a planet - if the purpose of the Eggs was to create worthy successors to the FAR, and the path to achieving this was Instrumentality, was any race created by the Eggs supposed to go looking for a needle in an interstellar haystack? How were giant, mindless monsters supposed to do that? Does this imply humanity achieved Instrumentality way too early? They did totally fuck it up, so probably. If Instrumentality is achieved by Adam and Lilith fusing, why were the Angels trying to kill Lilith? To prevent humanity's ascension? Wouldn't that also prevent their own ascension? Lilith was in suspended animation, shouldn't the Angels have been trying to wipe out the Lilin, which they could have done easily if they weren't focused on a city that had three Evangelions? Didn't they read the Secret Dead Sea Scrolls?
>>219375210What does NERV even stand for? What exactly happens when the pilots reach an arbitrary definition of age that makes them no longer able to pilot their mombots? How exactly do scientists collect souls? How did a failed pharmaceutical researcher pivot to a wholly unrelated field overnight even semi-competently?
>>219375210If you're the same guy who made the other post, your questions are way worse and not plot holes at all>the Angels were all children of Adam>humanity are all children of Lilith>the Angels believed that humanity had captured Adam and imprisoned him in the big metal pyramid>they did not anticipate or guess at all that the giant creepy leaky magic monster that they could sense imprisoned in the pyramid was not Adam, but Lilith (perhaps it never crossed their minds that humans could be so cruel and psychotic as to imprison and mutilate our own divine creator)So the Angel plan (which was 100% flawed and based on the incorrect premise they were operating from)>rampage through Tokyo>pop open the big metal pyramid>free their tortured progenitor Adam and restore him to power>kill all of the Lilith fucking shits (humans) that had stolen their rightful possession (earth)
>>219375491>their rightful possession (earth)I missed the part where that's ever implied in Scripture, they're essentially Jehovah's slave workers >No you see, there is no God but everything else was right
>>219375491>>the Angels believed that humanity had captured Adam and imprisoned him in the big metal pyramidWhy? How? The Angels didn't know or care how humans thought until one of them mindraped Asuka. They attacked Lilith even before Adam was transferred to NERV HQ, do all Seeds give off identical signatures? The only Angel that attempted to attack Adam directly was Gaghiel >>219375449>What exactly happens when the pilots reach an arbitrary definition of age that makes them no longer able to pilot their mombots?Instrumentality was planned to be complete before they reached whatever age that would have been. Sachiel attacks in July 2015, Instrumentality commences on January 1st, 2016.>>219375598>their rightful possession (earth)Adam's Egg landed on Earth first, it was supposed to be the Angel's planet. Lilith landed second but her Spear was destroyed in the crash landing so Adam's Spear had no choice but to suspend him. So that part is correct.
>>219375986>do all Seeds give off identical signatures?Absolutely.Kaworu is practically whistling dixie, all smug with himself that he made it into the pyramid and was gonna free Adam.He shit a brick when he realized the giant primordial magic monster imprisoned down there was the other one instead.
>>219375986>Adam's Egg landed on Earth first, it was supposed to be the Angel's planet.Why did they need a planet in the first place
>>219375986>>219375449There is no rule saying "The EVA pilot has to be a child"There is a rule saying "The EVA pilot has to have been born after Second Impact" and it so happened that Second Impact was 15 years before the series so that's as old as they could possibly be
>>219376208Right right rightSo, their moms' scientifically extracted souls placed I don't know where in the Eva units, how does this matter/work again?
>>219376383Was there a cleanup squad at the Langley's with some proton pack waiting to vacuum up her dead mom's soul? Did Gendo draw a chalk circle and summon it?
>>219376455Yui died from touching Unit-01 and yeeting her own soul into it (on purpose?) so they just had to grab her corpse, leave it in Gendo's office for half an hour and then burn it
>>219376455Everyone else considers their horns part of their plugsuit interface but Asuka never takes them off, is she supposed to do that?
>>219376512Didn't answer my question about Asuka's or Kaworu's moms
>>219376546Asuka's mom did the same thing as Yui except she didn't die, she just went insane from having most of her soul vored by Unit 02Kaworu's mom was Adam he gets his own unrelated super magic powersThey never do say what the deal with Unit-00 is but considering how they have a fishtank full of disposable Rei's laying around it's more than possible they just fed one to it and then dropped another one in its pilot chair
>>219370811So were a bunch of these things going to be flying around Earth if Lilith didn't crash into Adam? What was supposed to be the rulers of the Earth if Adam shit out his kids as intended?
>>219370811
>>219376604So they all had moms already working on the project (except Kaworu), was this a series of coincidences or did Gendo somehow know Evas had to be soul-powered
>>219376675Yes. It would have been paradise.
randomly remembered this song thanks to this threadhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfihonZlPFY
>>219376546Souls are collected through a magic science machine and stored inside the Eva's core>>219376604They can somehow clone Lilith's soul to put one inside every Rei copy, I bet they put a copy in Unit 00. Presumably the mass production Evas have copies of Adam's soul OR their fully-functional S2 organ provides a soul>>219376727Gendo would have known a soul was required
>>219370811Reminder that Anno is secretly a 33rd degree free mason
What happens when the orange LCL liquid evaporates? Does all of humanity die with it?
>>219376731But why did they need to come to Earth>They were already here in the volcanoesWhere did they come from then
>>219373811Some of them come from space. Some of them were survivors from the first Adam era.
>>219376891Eggs.Adam laid a bunch of eggs, and these things hatched from them. You see it in the Volcano episode.The question is why are they all just playing the part of monster of the week, and not attacking at once.
>>219376754How would a pharmaceutical engineer know any of that?
>>219376694fuckI never got it until right now
>>219376972>EggsLaid by…?
>>219376891because earth is supposed to be terraformed by either humans (fruit of knowledge) or angels (fruit of life)by they did a whoopsie and sent both to the same planet
>>219373811>>219375210the Prometheus video was their first I ever watchedi feel old now

Why are there suddenly so many Evangelion threads on /tv/?
>>219377403The First Ancestral Race (FAR)
>>219377404I would call a flying, neon colored kamikaze satellite my brother before I said it to a black person.
>>219377427it's the best piece of media of all time?

>>219377427There's a new one coming
>>219377708
>>219377735>the recycled animation shows the Eva lunging forward at very hihg speed>the new animation shows the Eva gently jogging towards the Angelnot great
>>219377458Who laid eggs in volcanoes
>>219377708>And by new I mean rehash of the same plot and characters, as exciting and original as the next Batman live-action action series

>>219377708>>219377735Did the combat knife always look like a box cutter? I could have sworn it looked like a typical army knife in the OG anime.
>>219378149yes
>>219378149Unit 2's knife looked like a box cutter with a breakaway disposable blade. The other two were regular knives.
>>219378149>>219378011Unit 02's did, yesThey look different in Rebuild
>>219378245>>219378011Many such cases
>>219370811>>we've examined the drawing, and... it's 99.89% the same!
>>219370811When I watched this show for the first time I just thought it wasn't for me, but honestly the way its fans act, how genuinely dull Anno seems whenever you interview him, the commercialization, etc. have kinda made me hate it now. It just feels insulting to art itself.
>>219378617>how genuinely dull Anno seems whenever you interview himHis inability to produce anything else of value speaks volumes
>>219370811just out of interest, how much percent do black and white humans share.just wondering.is it more or less than 99.89
>>219375210This is so antithetical to the point of EVA. Stop asking questions. Lore is for faggots.
>>219378617This is only valid if you're looking at Rebuild and beyond
>>219379025>Thinking rationally, man, you're supposed to FEEL this showGet raped
>>219370811Cool
>>219373811Its not clear but it is seems most likely they were not a thing until Seele poked Adam and set off Second Impact. Seele is apparently aware of how many angels there is supposed to be due to the Dead Sea Scrolls.It’s possible that the other angels also thought Lilith was Adam’s body. But its not really clear why that matters or what Seele intended this trick to be for.Yes the Rei copies are soulless dolls that control the dummy plugs. Its not clear how Lilith’s soul is transferred between Rei’s but it does seem to require retrieving the dead Rei’s body ie Lilith’s soul is moved from Rei 2 into Rei 3.I dont think its ever implied souls can be copied and Yui’s soul is irretrievable likely by Yui’s own intent. Rei was seemingly originally made for the purpose of retrieving Yui's soul.>>219375210it is not clear what the FAR motive is nor can really even be said whether two seeds landing on a planet was ever a unintended result to begin with.The angels seem to operate off of instinctual drive focused on becoming the sole dominant species. whether it is by merging with adam or lilith is unclear but their goal is simply to wipe out humanity implicitly through another impact event. Instrumentality is a plan invented by humans and does not seem to be the intentional purpose of Lilith or Adam’s existence.>>219375449Nerv does not stand for anything, it is german word that means “nerve.” why the eva pilots need to be children is never explained in the show.
maybe this is a dumb question but the thread has me thinking, what would the angels do if they killed off all humans or whatever? just live on Earth as big towering creatures?
>>219379556They would be free to pursue their creative hobbies.
>>219379556Yes. The two types of seeded life grew in different ways. Angels grew larger and more powerful in solitude while humans dispersed and grew in numbers.Gendo was attempting to turn humanity into a single unified organism like the angels.
i havent watched any of the rebuilds, are any of the angels as good as the OG series? at first I loved the basic monster angels but as they got more and more abstract I found that even neater
