Oh, sorry. I meant Shikinami. And if changing a character's name ruins EVERYTHING for you, regardless of any other concerns, then also, this movie is not for you.

I hear ya. They try to fit a thirteen-hour story into eight hours, and they did it in the most cliche way possible... by cutting things. Shame on them.

Honestly? You've already said enough. It's the biggest joke of the decade, it's a waste, it's worse than 2.22 (which you already hated).

Myssa Rei was right. Don't watch it.

If you endorse it, you'll look like a hypocrite, since you'll be going against everything you said about it before. And if you don't like it, you'll look like a hypocrite, since everything you hated about 1.11 and 2.22 has been removed from this movie, and replaced with everything you claimed to like about the series.

It's a no-win.

I feel like they are trying to claim the J.C staff grail of fucking things up.

p/s: 2.22 was released around May 2010, now it is April 2013 for 3.33. So Mar 2016 here we go.

[hai_san]

Don't jinx it if we go by your formula, next should be 4.44 and 04.04.2014 i pray

At this point I'm wondering why Mari OR Asuka are even part of this series. Both of them literally only exist just to throw in extra action scenes. If this is what Khara always wanted the movies to lead to (which I don't believe in the slightest but whatever), they should have focused on their strong points and made a universe where Shinji and Rei are the only Evangelion pilots. Make the entire series be about the up and down dynamics between them, then toss in the Kaworu dilemma halfway through to mix things up. Then there would be no need to make up nonsensical plot devices that say how many Evas are allowed to be active at once, and they wouldn't be wasting their already rushed time on pointless side characters that just make shit blow up pretty.

Damn. So I can only be a hypocrite in this scenario .

That's nice and all, except I think you presented a bit of a false dilemma here.

Meanwhile Anno is laughing all the way to the bank. $$$$$

I do think it'll be kind of lame just having Shinji ...

Actually after 3 it looks like Asuka is going to be important after all, just like she was in the original series. Still don't get what Mari is for though.

Mari basically Asuka support. she basically "asuka" when asuka not there

if Mari no here. people will complain Asuka will become Mary sue since she must do everything

[hai_san]

Well just consider what an outrage it will cause if there is NO Asuka in NGE...

Ps: well i was rewatching 2.22 again, and the preview... we got trolled very hard... somehow i can't trust the preiview of the 4 fouth movie anymore.

[-Sho-]

People are talking about 2.0 & 3.0 but you do know that there are 2.2 & 3.3 right.

So we'll have to wait 2+ years for the next...

Anyway , i prefer EoE than this RoE... things are just going to be fanservice shots...

Problem is in this case it's you, and people in the thread already know you hate the Rebuild movies with a passion. Yet here you are, prepping to watch something you hate, so you can hate on it more. It's pretty much a self-defeating and wasteful cycle if you ask me, as you'll end up hating it anyway, which will feed your hate for the last movie.

Save yourself the trouble.

Just watched it, I am so confused

No, I know... You're thinking, "Oh, there are MANY ways I can hate this movie, not just one!"

Why bother watching it? You decided as soon as the first trailer came out that you thought it was terrible. You have started on MANY, MANY occasions that you think it's terrible. You've been, in fact, getting so repetitious about it that you might as well just copy one of your posts and keep pasting it again and again.

So why know your review. You've already written it. DESPITE the fact that this movie has basically nothing of what you criticized 1.0 and 2.0 for, and nearly everything you claim you like about the series.

You hate it. We know. Your hate is a burning passion that's been aflame for nearly four years now. And you're just not letting it go.

I can't tell you how to live your life, of course, but "waste of energy" comes to mind...

Eh, I don't know. A lemon is a lemon. While I can make lemonade from lemons, there is nothing wrong in grumbling that I got a lemon when I wanted a sweet watermelon.

To each his own. Some people are obviously such huge fans of the franchise that, in their minds, the creators can do absolutely no wrong. Others won't hesitate to point out that the emperor is not wearing any clothes. It takes both points of view for a neutral party to come to as close as possible to an objective evaluation.

Complaints on dropping us in the middle of the action with no explanation after what's apparently a massive timeskip (which leads to huge amounts of confusion) is the former. Professing to actively dislike the effort as a whole, then deciding to watch the thing anyway just because is the latter.
