erm ... I got it first in outskirt battledom forum, before confirming it on evageeks (I can't exactly remember exactly when I read this, but I do remember D.grayman was still airing at that time though) ... and sometimes I read random top comments about Simon being a parallel world version of Shinji on TTGL youtube videos I watched so I thought it was a pretty common interpretation.

The one thing i DON'T want is, that the Rebuild will make the original obsolete, and pretty much a waste. If the ending of Rebuild will have no connection to EoE or the original series ending, then what was the point to watch it in the first place. Of course nobody knew ten years ago that it would end up like this. But this series has gone a long, rocky way and definitely wasn't what it was intended to be. The parallel universe / time loop thing is just an idea, because it would work. They can very well come up with something completely fresh. |

The most that people ever seriously considered in the ORIGINAL was that the TV ending and the EoE ending are different. That being that Shinji accepted instrumentality in the TV ending. Though I don't think this theory is all that credible myself. There is definitely tons of speculation of Rebuild being some sort of loop/sequel, but if it is I'd find that really stupid. Anno would practically be copying the Eva-Retake doujin, which is meh. That would be really stupid.

If wikipedia is still around in 2025 the original series will probably still be the main article one is linked to by default. |

OK. I have to agree with this view, I was to pissed when I wrote my point of view and this DO makes sense... I forgot about the Tsundere thingy, it adds up.
Still feels weird, wanna watch the movie a couple more times. What is not right though is the aging part, curse of eva or whatever, we all know is because they need to sell gareki. XD |

Okay screw this, I need to sleep, my head hurts ... can anyone just tell me how many impact was there in total and which one killed all those T3 people ... and can "whatever the hell happened during the 14 years timeskip" considered an impact ... I'm kind of lost.

I know that by this point in the original series I was going "What the fudge?". That is indeed what I'm thinking after watching 3.0 but I don't think it stems from the same reasons thought.
The original show left me with questions regarding the plot, this movie left me wondering what the heck Anno is trying to tell with this. That is not a good sign. While the movie was more entertaining than the previous one I found that the only reason that happens is that, this time, we had a complete break from what we already knew from the original show to stop me from making much comparisons. The plot itself felt way too simple to be Eva though: Gendo wants the 4th impact, Misato and her crew don't, Shinji gets played as usual and Kaoru is actually shown to be quite a well presented character. The meganeko still feels like otaku bait though even if Asuka seems to have improved a bit (even if she's just screaming too damn much and is missing the trademark eva angst this time). Overall it feels like most symbology was thrown out the window in this third movie leaving only an entertaining action flick. Decent but not really the level I expect from Eva. It managed to get me to consider waiting for the last movie to give final judgement so at least there's that.

All the people died during the 3rd impact, but that wasn't the impact that we saw in 2.00 (or at least, the beginning of it). We saw that it was stopped before it could do significant damage. Also, the fact that Lilith and Unit 06 are impaled by spears and in Terminal Dogma is pretty much not according to the end of 2.00. My assumption is that Shinji didn't do any harm, but that Seele together with Unit 06 restarted the 3rd impact and made all the damage, making it so that it looked like it was Shinjis fault which results in everybody hating him. It was still just a "near 3rd impact" as Seele stopped it so it wouldn't destroy the whole universe. |

somewhere between timeskip 12th angel appear. Kaworu is send to defeat them but by instead he seal it using the spears. Misato and other people realize that the reason why they sealed the angel is so that someone can start another impact. hence Misato created WILLE in order to stop NERV to do another impact

I probably want to add that 12th angel probably manage to reach Terminal Dogma and nearly absorb lilith.
also they one that seal the the angel is not Kaworu but another Rei clone. hence Kaworu doesnt know about spear thing

Why?!? where is pen pen?
Nevertheless, it was ok, but only because I completely forgot what happened in 2.0. Having such a large gap between the movies makes it really hard to follow... I reckon it is their intention that you go and dish out some cash to re-watch the previous movies, every time a new one is being release. Honestly I have no clue where my blu-rays are... |

In any case, the looping player can allude to one of several things, for example Shinji's inability to develop both personally and socially, and being stack in conceptually the same situations personally and socially... it could also hint to his limited ambition (hm, probably this is the wrong word... lack of desire to make/find new things), that boy liked one song, and want to listen to it forever... another way to put it is that he is very scared of anything new, etc. OR for a valid LULZ-theory like the time-loops/parallel-universes, this might be the only piece of music that survived the 2nd Impact

It's never outright stated that the world is stuck in a closed loop and Anno hasn't (for the time being) put further emphasis on those curious details, but the said signs are quite tantalizing and I doubt they were merely put there as a result of artistic license.
