i just watched this for the first time, and i'm wondering if it's possible to fuck up a story more. 1.0 and 2.0 were pretty good, which left me unprepared for the shitfest that this was
where were the fucking evas
why were none of the characters acting like themselves
what the hell were they thinking with those cringy """"""""fights""""""""
And god damn that autistic SUOOPER SPACE LASERZ BATTLESHIP
what the fuck anno.
1.0 was a good revising of the beginning of NGE, and had some subtle differences which point to the rebuilds being sequels
2.0 was deviating from the original storyline, but it was well made
and then this garbage tier fuckery comes along and ruins everything. it made no sense, was cringy, pointless, and completely infuriating.
>>139636609
hell, this didn't feel, look, or in any way resemble evangelion except for a few character names and the fact that it had, occasionally, some robots.

every 3.0 critic ever
>>139636994
no anon, it was shit. i knew it was a sequel, so i expected a new story, but this was shit. it just copied from every shitty mecha anime and none of the good ones. the fucking flying spaceship is the worst part.
Careful not to fall into the Jar Jar Binks syndrome. After seeing the Phantom Menace, audiences had a hard time processing what they just saw, but Jar Jar was something concrete they could point at and say "this is everything wrong with this movie". You need to dig in deeper, Plinkett style.
https://youtu.be/FxKtZmQgxrI?list=PL5919C8DE6F720A2D
With regards to Eva, you have to look past that they chose to change things. Instead, focus on how they took these risks in changing important things to the brand but they ended up losing the bet. It's possible for them to have made these controversial changes, but to have done it in an effective way worthy of praise. Instead they shit the bed.
>>139637222
yes yes, but the flaws are obvious. the whole flying aircraft carrier thing is a cliche in a lot of mecha anime, and it just doesn't belong. the whole movie felt like it could've been a decent finale to a bigger movie, barring shinjis being woken up. they changed too much for shock factor. Changing the characters personalities without any explanation or reason was just bad writing, and no being mad at shinji does not count as a reason.
>>139637222
another thing is, eva is supposed to be thoughtful which this movie was not. just flashing lights, colors, and incoherent yelling with the name EVANGELION stamped on it
>>139637032
> sequel
It directly follows on from EOE you mongoloid.
>>139637379
>>139637346
>just bad writing
Yes. People are still coming to terms with this.
>>139636994
Nah the movie was complete shit. They clearly scrapped what they had and completely rewrote it for some reason, and so it's completely disconnected from the rest of the movies. The time skip serves no purpose whatsoever and every other character apart from Shinji is completely ignored.
It's a terrible movie, and even worse when you consider it's supposed to be the 3rd in a series of 4 films. It doesn't advance the plot at all and you're left holding your dick in hand waiting for 4.0 to possibly make it make sense in retrospect.
Honestly I think Anno just lost his passion for the project half way through and said 'Fuck it'
>>139637429
that's what i meant you nigger
>>139637520
i really liked 1.0 and 2.0, they were incredible additions to the story. that made the dogshit that is 3.0 all the more mind boggling

yeah, gay piano was alright
I recently finished the original show and End of evangelion
My question is, is it worth watching the 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 movies or is it just a waste of time?
>>139636609
Do you have any coherent criticism too?
>>139638140
2.0 is awesome, you could skip straight to it since 1.0 is almost identical to the first six episodes of the series.
>>139638140
What did you think of it, anon?
Sorry I can't answer your question because I haven't seen the rebuild movies.
>>139638140
Whether or not something is "worth watching" is subjective. That said, NGE/EoE is considered "must watch" for anyone on /a/ who doesn't want to be an embarrassment. The Rebuilds are not.
>>139638140
You have to watch 1.0 and 2.0, they're not only the continuation of the series, see pic related, they're masterpieces.
3.0, on the other hand, i don't even consider to actually exist
>>139637429
How do the Rebuilds directly follow on from EOE? Is it when he's going through instrumentality?
>>139636609
>1.0 and 2.0 were pretty good
No they weren't.
>1.0 was a good revising of the beginning of NGE
No, they fucked up Shinjis character. He was way less relateable because they had to make a whole movie out of 6 episodes. Some stuff wasn't included making everything fell more superficial. It had less impact than the original, not because it was doing the same stuff but because it was doing the same stuff worse.
>2.0 was deviating from the original storyline, but it was well made
It was ruined the characters making them caricatures of their former selves. The whole thing seemed like they just put in a lot of fanservice without thinking about what they are doing. They also included Mari.
Also, CG. The Rebuilds are all shit.
>>139638381
>they're masterpieces.
Now that's just shitposting.
>>139638140
>>139638381
see pic related
>>139638402
you and i clearly did not watch the same movies. barring mari, the rebuilds 1.0 and 2.0 are fantastic
>>139638317
I thought it was fantastic, loved the characters and chemistry between them and ended nicely in EoE. I don't have any real complaints.
>>139638335
I just didn't want to spend 5 hours of time on movies that people have mixed opinions about
>>139638452
1.0 and 2.0 are about 3 1/2 hours combined
don't watch 3.0 unless you want to be disgusted
>>139638439
No they are not.
>>139638494
look man, i know you've got the nostalgia goggles telling you anything new made is inherently shit, but that's wrong
>>139638538
How is it nostalgia if I watched the Rebuilds right after the original?
They suck, now shut the fuck up or make some proper arguments.
>>139638493
well what's the point of watching 1.0 if its just a remake of the first 6 episodes, and what's the point of watching only 2.0 if it sets up a story not worth continuing. It seems like a all or nothing deal for me.
>>139638384
It's post tang. Hence the blood on the moon, the outlines of the MP evas in 1.0, a few others and, most notably, kaworu's "this time I'll make you happy".
>>139638584
I watched them right after the originals too, i think they're great
you think they suck, i think they're great, neither of us is going to change the others mind. lets just drop it
>>139637520
>>139637822
The movie tells us that the whole "ROW ROW FIGHT DA POWER"-attitude popular in anime doesn't work in reality, and no matter how good your intentions are, no matter how hard you try, you're going to end up fucking up sooner or later. And no one's going to pat your back and pity you for it. That's a bitter lesson for neckbeard shut-ins, but don't worry anon, it's not the end of the world.
>>139638452
The mixed opinions regarding the first two Rebuild films would be the change in focus from long form creatively budgeted story telling to what are mostly action films. There is an Asuka in the film, for example, but in comparison no time is taken to develop her character. The two films are about Shinji, Rei and action scenes. Practically nothing else.
Which is not necessarily a bad thing. It's just not NGE, which is where any disagreement would come from.
>>139638621
I rewatch evangelion reularly, so rewatching the first six episodes was not an issue i guess
they are not the exact same, the angels are slightly different and something happens which changes the fate of the story halfway in, but doesn't come to fruition until the next movie
2.0 is just a great story and should be watched regardless of 3.0 being shit. 3.0+1.0 will probably ignore or overwrite 3.0 anyway seeing how much hate it recieved
and it's just a few hours, just watch them and form your own opinion
>>139638712
Ok, thanks for the help, I'll watch them soon. At least I know what to expect
>>139638646
Alright but I hope you realize that people who can't even argue for why they think a movie is good are plebs.
It's not even about changing the others minds. A discussion can lead to a better understanding of the topic and it's qualities.
I just want to know what makes the Rebuilds good.

>>139638795
I thought the rebuilds had added character growth for rei and shinji, 2.0 showed shinji having an even more intense mental breakdown than NGE. some things were left out, some things were added. people who really liked the things that were not shown in the rebuilds, such as asukas character growth and certain angels, would have a hard time liking them.
>>139638795
They look pretty and offer an alternative way the series could have played out.
Whether the choices they made are good or bad is up to you.
It does look damn good, though.
>>139636652
I thought it resembled Evangelion moreso then the other two movies, especially in its first half, right around the moment Shinji arrives at Nerv.
Fell apart in the in the latter half with the excessive amount of action scenes though.
>>139637222
JarJar was going to be a sith lord responsible for all of the shit that lead to the Star Wars series in what would be the biggest twist since Vader's reveal, but it was canned due to fanbacklash from fans, if rightly so since Lucas did go overboard with it.
Anno is actually doing something similar with Rebuild. The twists have already been posted on /a/ numerous times before and some of the clues are blatant, but most of the anons here are in complete denial of it since it goes against most of their pandering wishes and desires. It's going to literally ruin Evangelion for most of them though, since it's just devolved into waifushit shortly after NGE's initial release either way.
>>139637822
>Shinji's character development is reset and his heroism at the end of 2.22 that we cheered for is pissed on.
>people still think it was some act of heroism or Shinji finally growing a pair

>Rei from 1.11 and 2.22, the one Shinji was supposed to have saved when he last saw her isn't in the film. There is a clone with a reset personality.
I'm beginning to wonder if Rei Q actually has a small portion of Rei's soul now.
>Shikinami who got fucked over for screen time in 2.22 and who was never established to be more than some cliche tsundere is now a 28 year old woman, still lusting after the child dick of 14 year old Literally-Worse-Than-Hitler who she knew for a month 14 years ago.
Combination of wanting to find relationships with those who are some nonhuman freak like her, as well as latent parental yearnings, and Shinji fills that void, which she mistakes for love instead.
>Misato is now Gendo 2.0 because of SYMBOLISM.
A combination of symbolism and Misato having conflicted feelings about Shinji, since she most likely knows what he truly is.
>Mari continues to waste screen time for no reason other than merchandising.
Double agent working for Nerv and IPEA/Seele. Likely already an immortal kid who's probably into her 20's at the start of 2.0. Read the extra manga chapter for more clues.
>>139639347
What about the theory that mari is asuka Langley shoryu's kid based on the picture of all the mothers?
>>139639401
It's most likely bullshit.
>based on the picture of all the mothers?
Confused about what you're getting at here. You mean the photo of Yui from 3.0? Please explain further.
>>139636652
Believe it or not, this is Anno's goal to destroy Eva with the Rebuild movies. It's a stupid goalpost that explains the poor quality of the narrative.
>>139639441
Not really.
He doesn't want to destroy Eva, rather he wants it to become malleable like Gundam. If anything, he wants to destroy the old Eva by getting rid of its stale characters and setting, for which I don't blame him. You can only rehash the same plot concepts and characters for so long.
>>139639436
I think that's the one. Just a theory I read on /a/ ages ago
>>139639494
>wanting to turn a masterpiece into some casual shit
and a third atomic bomb was needed
>>139639494
you are fucking insane if you truly believe that. Ever since end of eva he has been out to ruin eva. everything since then is just a giant middle finger to the fans because he hates the stupid otakus that made him so famous.
I can't wait for his new godzilla to do something so inexplicably stupid that even the die hard Anno fans have no excuse for it. Like godzilla shedding a tear or something.
>>139639494
>he wants to destroy the old Eva by getting rid of its stale characters and setting

Ironic considering that 3.33 is a shallow caricature of the original Eva turning everyone and everything into exacerbated parodies of their former selves.
>>139639595
if this really is true, he's a massive faggot
Never seen any of the NGE series, but it seems like shit.
>>139639683
Rebuild as a whole is a shallow caricature period.
Final needs to come out and anally devastate the fans while providing satisfying endings for the characters instead of pulling some half-baked shit like the manga did. That's the only proper way to end it.
>>139639885
The only proper way to end it is to make it so garbage even the apologists will realize it's crap and die of shame after putting money into it.
>>139640112
That too.
>>139638664
No one would care if that were the message if it were actually delivered halfway decently. It doesn't even try to deliver that, you have to interpret it for yourself.
>>139639885
>Providing satisfying endings for the characters.
But that's impossible already.
>>139636609
I believe what happened was a Lucas; Evangelion was great because it was a culmination of several distinct intelligent people working on it, under one focused director.
Then Anno became all powerful, nobody questioned and the equivalent of the prequels happened again,

You can't really compare them like that, not 100% anyway.
The Rebuilds might be crappy and nonsensical, but there's a method and logic to the madness.
With Lucas, it was just poor form and lack of execution that made it feel and be wonky.
With Anno, he's got the power now and he has no one to hold him back, so he just does whatever he wants.
What Anno wants is to shit on characters like Rei and pump up characters like Asuka, because Asuka's enemy in the franchise is Rei in more ways than one.

Eva literally appeals to 14 year olds.
It's full of edge and angst masquerading as depth. It's the ultimate tween anime, even if the people who watched it back in the day have grown up.

14 year old will like it for different reasons than a 24 year old. a 14 is watching it because they think the fights are cool, the angels are cool, the girls are hot, etc. but when you get older you realize the point of the show was very different from that. it's a study of the human soul. In fact, the 14 year olds watching it are part of the show in the sense that they are part of the experiment on human behaviour

All ____fags paint it that way because the fanbase devolved into a cesspool of waifufaggotry and shipping wars years ago.
Even Reifags were bragging that Rei was going to win the Shinjibowl thanks to 2.0 back in the day as well, for example.
The truth is that the waifufags are in for the worst awakening imaginable, Anno has his hate set out on them for sure with these movies.

I can't wait for all you non-believers to eat your words when 3.0 + 1.0 comes out, confirms timeloops, explains how 3.0 was a prequel to 1.0 all along, and runs the original 3.0 trailer again but this time labeled 4.0
You will come to regret your words and deeds
>>139641050
Though Lucas always retconned the previous film with flashy yellow text. This happened already during the OT.
>>139651924
I will be even more angry if timeloops are confirmed. That shit is stupid.
>>139651924
I'm just looking forward to waifufags finally killing themselves
>>139651924
Timeloops are pretty much confirmed now, but that's not the only cuhrazy twist going for Rebuild anymore. If anything it's tame compared to the Shinji=FAR analyses and all of the fucked up theories surrounding it.
>>139651924
>>139651993
It's going to be glorious.
>>139651985

Just let go, anon.
Enjoy Anno's wild ride.
>>139650899
>All ____fags paint it that way because the fanbase devolved into a cesspool of waifufaggotry and shipping wars years ago.
Nope. Only Asukafags.
Back in the day, for every thread you'd find about "omg rei wond da shinjibowl", you'd get two threads complaining about it from Asukafags. Not only that, "rei wonda etcc" is pretty much board culture and doable by even non-shippers.
But complaining about it, is not.
The truth is that Asukafags are cancer and always have been.
You're also wrong about Anno, he's an Asukafag himself.
>>139652117
Fine, as long as they make no explicit connections to the original series, Rebuild can have it's own retardation if it wants.
>>139651829
Butthurt Asukafag detected. You're the reason the fanbase stinks, people like YOU and YOU alone.

Shipfaggotry is cancer and toiletfags exxaggerate the preeminence of it among Asukafags to make us look bad. Like you're doing now. Fuck off.
>>139651410
Sure, sure, whatever you say.
>>139652103
>>139651924
So would this mean the actual chronology will be:
3.0 -> 3.0+1.0 -> [TIMELOOP] - > 1.0 -> 2.0 -> 4.0
Because I always found it fucking weird how Kaworu lances Eva 01 pretty quickly but the entire Earth is still ravaged in 3.0, and it being a previous loop where he arrived late or something would really explain that shit.
>>139652276
Oh look who's talking, it's the asukafag autist who gets banned 300 times a day and still ban evades aftewards.
You're the best examples that Asukafans are irreparably retarded.
>>139638690
Honestly, over all, the Rebuilds are a better series if you just assume they're a sequel and take all of the character development from the original series and put it there.
>>139652103
>but that's not the only cuhrazy twist going for Rebuild anymore
They are going to try to replicate previous ending as hard as possible with something no one expects.
>>139652203
>for every thread you'd find about "omg rei wond da shinjibowl", you'd get two threads complaining about it from Asukafags
Haha, no.
>>139652259
Pretty sure the "3.0 is a prequel, and 3.0+1.0 is a pun on 3.0 TO 1.0" theory wasn't around when 1.0 came out, fampai
>>139652321
Correct
>>139651465

And yet delusional Evafags will still convince themselves that Eva is supposed to be meaningful.

Those are clearly shipping Reifags in that image, anon. Even worse, they're mocking Asukafags as "losers".
Cancer.
>>139652369
You realize everyone knows that those posters are 80% Asukafags complaining about everything from the manga?
Because
>reifags praising re-take
>reifags criticizing the manga for shipping rei and shinji
>reifags criticizing rei
isn't reifag talk.
Nice try, but I think everyone knows that those are Asuka fans, not Rei fans for the most part.
>>139652395
>Pretty sure the "3.0 is a prequel, and 3.0+1.0 is a pun on 3.0 TO 1.0" theory wasn't around when 1.0 came out, fampai
Pretty sure the sequel theory was around.
>>139651864
What I mean is that it's just a bunch of angsty animu characters and a bunch of random symbolism that was only meant to look/sound cool, as confirmed by Anno himself here; >>139651465
For something to be deep it needs to make you think and question things. Eva is just a fucking anime. It shouldn't make anyone who isn't a shallow tweenager think or question anything other than what's happening in the convoluted plot.
>>139652455
>Those are clearly shipping Reifags in that image, anon.
Uh-huh.
Now explain why they're saying Re-Take is good, and saying that the shipping isn't good, then.
>>139652203
I'm an Asukafag and I enjoyed the ending of 2.0. It was quite beautiful
>>139652466
And the sequel theory would be a seperate theory that just happens to involve the timeloops as well, senpai
>>139652331
>muh boogeyman
Reifags are scared stiff of any remotely hostile Asukafag. Hilarious.
>>139652466
>>139652504

Are you so embarrassed of your own kind you have to lie like this? Wow.
You have Reifags saying Asukafags lost and laughing about it in that image.

That's all there is fampai.
>>139652564
Anyone with eyes can read that image themselves and see all the Reifags there.
You lying and cherrypicking one post won't change that.
The evidence that Reifags are cancer is there for all to see.
>>139652455
>>139652558
>lying about an image
Nigga, there's more Asukafags in that image bitching than there are Reifags being happy about it.
If we were to pick the most sensible ones, it's the Reifags still because they're still on-point admitting that they like Rei and shinji developing together in some of the posts.
But the posts deriding Rebuild, the manga etc.. for shipping? Asukafags, as always. There are more of those.
>>139652479
Anno and the team picked the NAME because it sounded cool. This is also true of some of the crosses and trees of life and the like (though that serves its purpose in establishing tone). That's it. There's plenty of regular, non-religious symbolism with very clear meaning, and there are plenty of character interactions and story events with subtexual meaning that isn't necessarily clear on the first time through.
Though I don't know why I'm bothering here, seeing as you've written it off just for being an anime.
>>139652634
Reifags don't ship they said
>>139652369
Well, I guess you could say Reifags got what was coming to them with 3.0
>>139652617
>ITS ONE POST
Its' several, and everyone with eyes can see how much of a failure Asuka fans are when they try to prove something.
Because in your quests to prove that "look, reifags ship too", you actually went and picked up the majority being ASUKAFAGS.
There are obviously ship-happy Reifags in the world and the fanbase, even here on /a/. But they are vastly outnumbered by Asukafags who ship, something that very image proves.
>>139652683

>>139652369
>>139652683
>>139652617
>>139652558
It's been debunked as an Asukafag talking about shipping earlier.
Check the archives.
What happened here is that an Asukafag who desperately needed to show that Reifags "ship too", went in the archive and picked some shippy posts that talked about Rei/Shinji.
However, he actually picked out more Asukafags than Reifags, meaning that he managed to prove himself wrong in the process.
The number of Asukafags who ship greatly outnumber Reifags who ship, this is old news and can be reflected in everything from discussion, fanfics, doujins, fanart and more.
Asuka fans need to own up to the fact that they are cancer.
>>139652736
The fag who kept on same-ing!
>>139652736
She has a happy end in the dating sims and Campus Apocalyspe, doesn't she?
>>139652791
>>139652369
The image does have Rei fans in it obviously, but the complainers and passive aggressive ones are Asuka fans.
Because Asuka fans are obsessed with shipping. Especially in the western fanbase, where they laud it as canon all day every day.
Why are people discussing the different fanbases of the same franchise instead of the actual movie like the OP wanted to?
>>139652884
Sure, but it doesn't really matter if she can't have one in the canon works.
>>139652939
Campus Apocalypse specifically confirmed it and every other spinoff was in the same continuity as the original series
>>139652936
Because Reifags are crazy butthurt
We need to acknowledge that we have a problem. We have an Asukafag problem. We've had it for years and years, and it's getting tiresome.
The other parts of the fanbase aren't saints either, but recently there's been an outrage from Asukafans shitting up threads with pictures of toilets and abuse, getting banned over and over again just to return with a proxy.
It's enough already.
Basically everything bad and conflict-filled can be sourced down to Asuka fan bigotry, even within Anno himself in the post-Eva years.
Why is it that Asuka fans cannot for the life of them, take responsibility or act properly?
>>139652936
Because the movie isn't really a movie as much as it's gasoline on the flames that are waifu wars.
>>139652936
Identity politics consume all and make everything worse.

It wasn't meant to be, but it was anyway. Because of Asuka fans. The blame is solely theirs and no one elses.
Every fandom has their quarrels and points of disagreement, but this war of fanaticism has one source and one source only: Asuka fan bigotry.
>>139653246

Reifags will never not be hypocrites of the highest order, masquerading as quality posters with "good of the threads" rhetoric.
>>139653375
Things were significantly better several years back. People just stopped giving a shit after 3.0, then the faggots overwhelmed anyone who actually wanted to discuss anything and here we are now.
>>139653082
I don't think everything you say is correct.
>Kaworu comments that he was its previous wearer, that alone implies a lot
Didn't he say something that it was originally created for him? Something along the lines of
>Lilin created it because they were afraid of me in the first place
So I'm not sure if he actually wore it before.
>is perfectly fine walking on the red earth at the end of the movie, despite Asuka saying that the red earth's L-barrier was dangerous to lilin
I think she said that Lilin can't detect them there because of the L-barrier so they had to move. I'm not sure about it being too dangerous. Though you do have a point in that Shinji was wearing some weird suit when he went out with Kaworu, but maybe that's because that place was actually dangerous for some reason, while the other wasn't?
>>139653082

There is nothing legitimate to discuss about Rebuild and 3.33.

>>139653439
He's distorting most points a bit.
>>139653433
Discussion only gets better when new things arise, see the manga volumes when they were still runnin or the encoding threads. Otherwise things predictably stagnate as they always have. Take the Madoka threads, for example.

Threads about Evangelion were better earlier because Asuka fans could be kept in check.
and no, unlike what >>139653540
says, the encoding threads are just as bad as these ones and not even a fraction of how good previous eva threads were.
>>139653535
Only because you refuse to discuss it.
>>139653540
The quality of these threads now can not be accounted for by simple stagnation. That's to be expected, but what we have now is people who actively hate the show shitting up every thread. People like the anon I responded to above who simply refuse to discuss anything because "There's nothing legitimate to discuss." These faggot permeated these threads and destroyed any hope of discussion, turning Waifuwars into the only discussion left to be had, which obviously can go nowhere but down.
>>139636609

No, they really aren't, and I don't see how you could possibly think otherwise.

You're part of the problem if you aren't willing to acknowledge that there is an Asukafag problem.
Rather than forcing the bad part of the fanbase (Asuka fans) to calm down and act rationally, you keep pretending there isn't a problem and so the problem only gets worse.
This mess here is partly your fault.
>>139653674
Posters who believe and give credence to such boogeymen are far worse.
>>139653674
Robot is not an adjective it is ONLY a noun. Robotic is an adjective.
You stupid fuck.
>>139653657
>Only because you refuse to discuss it.
No, you refuse to discuss it. You refuse to discuss it on terms that are fair and realistic.
You want to discuss Evangelion and Rebuild without understanding it.
>>139636609
Let's dispel with this notion that 2.0 wasn't an absolutely fucking awful movie as well.
>>139653657
I still chalk most of it up to stagnation and the inherent meta-talks that habiually follow but what you've posited doesn't lack merit, I just group it under stagnation as well. At the very least it's symptomatic of it.
>>139653796
Sure is a lot of projection there. You're the one saying it's impossible to discuss it, and you're accusing me of not wanting to discuss it?
You're delusional and you're part of the problem.
>>139653750
That's everyone except:
>the autistic shitposting Asukafag (YOU above all likelihood)
>maybe one Asukafag feeling his group is hurt by the collossal hatred everyone has for the autistic asukafag and asukafags in general
>>139653722
>>139653674
You can't shout down shitposters. Even if you think that Asukafags are the only problem, engaging them and throwing around this rhetoric about how big of a problem only feeds the fire. If you just continue discussion as normal and report shitposters they will eventually leave. If you give them more material to shitpost with they will never go away.

He is undertaking a systematic effort to change eva.

>>139653831
The summer before 3.0 was released was an example of stagnation. Low quality threads with nothing to talk about, all very boring and forced.
What we have now is far more than simple stagnation. It is people actively making things worse, and it's been a constant decline every year since 3.0 came out. Stagnation certainly plays a role, but it's hardly the largest factor in play here.
>>139653838
I'm not part of the problem here.
When people discuss Evangelion, Rebuild, or any other fiction, they discuss every part of it. You have no doubt many theories, but the truth is that all of them are made irrelevant or shut down by the facts present.
It's been discussed to death, over and over, and the same conclusion is met: it cannot be taken seriously. There isn't anything you can legitimately discuss without ignoring half of the context.
Why can't you accept that? All you're doing by trying to discuss like that is generate conflict.
>>139653845
Listen, no. You don't know what you're talking about, or you're pretending to not know what's going on. We cannot have normal discussion because Asuka fans are literally triggered if you post pictures from the original NGE now.
They've been so deluded by fanservice and fanfiction that they can't accept what went on in NGE any more. You always, always get an Asukafag shitposter or two whenever we discuss NGE as it was.
Banning them doesn't work because they ban evade and come back literally seconds afterwards, shitposting about how mods "do it for free".
>>139653925
And what do you believe is the chief catalyzing force for the threads shittiness, if any?
>>139653895
Then report them, and if the mods don't do their jobs go bitch on /qa/. This stupid rhetoric about evil asukafags just makes you more enemies by establishing a false dichotomy. The enemy is not Asukafags, it's shitposters, no matter who they are.

It has been discussed in an echo chamber where you either agree that it's shit, or you get shouted down. There has been no legitimate discussion since the generals, and that's absolutely pathetic.
Yes, you who decrees that it is impossible and not worthwhile to discuss a show on a discussion board, are the problem.
>3.0 came out in 2012

>>139654036
Are you one of the people that shout #NotAllMuslims as well?
You know what, all you're doing by negating the problem by creating noise is making things worse. You must attack their beliefs as well, because obviously, it's the beliefs that make them shitpost.
You're delaying any efficient solution because you can't accept that - possibly your own group - is responsible for these atrocities. So yes, there's decent Asuka fans, but the group mentality of Asuka fans have been proven as toxic, delusional and detrimental to thread quality.
Even to fanbase quality, and arguably - the franchise itself.
These are hard questions that no doubt hurts people, but it's the truth and if you don't address it, nothing will ever be solve. You only prolong the situation and create more conflilct.

>It has been discussed in an echo chamber
Echo chamber? This isn't an echo chamber. This is a no restrictions made, free for all discussion arena where everyone can make good points and everyone can say whatever they want, to a certain limit decided by mods of course.
The consensus and hivemind of /a/, and nearly every fangrouping has reached the same conclusion. It has nothing legitimate to discuss, because at the end of the discussion you are still forced to accept that things don't work out with the theories, or that the theories are only avoiding the truth of the matter.
We can discuss Rebuild and Evangelion for what it is, and have real discussion.
...or, we can do what you say: have a farcical discussion where we pretend everything is all right despite how it isn't.
You are the problem for not accepting reality.

>>139654022
2 Major factors: The hatebase and the waifufags.
People refuse to discuss Rebuild, as you can see in this thread itself. They complain that they don't understand it, but instead of trying to seek understanding, they throw their hands up and declare it's shit, leaving it at that. Whether you like the movies or not is one thing, but when it gets to the point where any and all discussion of them is met with everyone completely halting the discussion, crying about how shit it is, then you're left with no room for any discussion what-so-ever.
Even that wouldn't be that bad if it weren't for the fact that they bleed into every thread. A regular thread talking about the original show will inevitably have someone mention Rebuild, then the entire thread will be lot. It only takes a single person to mention it, and it's over. It's gotten to the point where it's impossible to discuss anything in the series because of this. Like you or someone else pointed out above, it's been getting shitter but at least there could be one good thread a week. This is a natural result of their actions; less and less discussion threads until no more exist.
And so, when it's impossible to discuss the show, that leaves only waifuwars. They used to be playful and simple, easily segregated from discussion threads, but over time they became more vitriolic and prolific. Now that waifu threads are virtually the only ones left, there's no breaks to cool off and the hatred just grows stronger and stronger. We're now at the point where all it takes is a throwaway "x girl a shit" and the entire thread is ruined. People have no self control and no respect. They'd rather sit around pointing fingers, yelling that the other side is shit and to blame for all the faults in these threads.
The result is that everyone suffers.

Arguably we do have radical Asukafags out to make things sour for everyone, even other Asuka fans who oppose them.
Take our local asukafag shitposter, he vehemently attacks ARK, Tang, and that other Asuka fan because they don't support him. Just like ISIS beheads other muslims because they won't join his "fight".
Holy hell this comparison is getting better and better, because our local autist Asukafag has actually claimed that he's a prophet on a holy war before in one of his sick rants.
Asukafags confirmed to literally be the terrorist scum of the eva fanbase.

All I'm hearing here is excuses to not discuss a show on a discussion board.
If you do not want to discuss the show, then you're welcome to leave discussion threads alone. You're not contributing anything otherwise; all you're doing is shitposting.

>don't make a comparison
>you people make the connection because I mentioned #notallmuslims once
>you make this connection and comparison because they are pretty much fucking alike, muslims and asukafags
I don't think the comparison is stupid either. It's fucking perfect because it describes the situation PERFECTLY.
One huge blob of waifufags who fight for their favorite character, and about half of them are part of supporting, enabling or agreeing with radical members of their group.
