This is actually one of the most *accurate* summaries of Evangelion i've ever seen, despite being a parody.

[@Levitz9]

The best part is that all of this is intensely true to the spirit of Hideaki Anno's wild creativity. The man made his own home-made Ultraman fan-movie when he was young (even stomping around in a sweater painted red-and-silver). This "cheap" summary is way closer to the inner machinations of Anno's mind than people give it credit for.

[@KeijiMaeda86]

Unironically agree 100%

[@TheZProtocol]

After almost 15 years I finally understood the ending thanks to you.

[@h2ojr1]

exactly, Shinji's dad wanted the power of god once instrumentality started but got tricked by Rei. She obtains that power instead which is why the Giant Rei shows up and her influence on the angels is why they start looking like her and she wants to give Shinji control over this power which is why he goes into the head!! it all makes so much more sense

[@LordLosango]

Same here, I didn't even remember that Shinji reseted the timeline which is why we have the Rebuild movies.

[@fluffypinkpandas]

Shinjis Dad wanted to be god and make the decision himself and everything that happened in the show 99.99% went according to his master plan Right up until rei realized shinji was 0.01% more right than gendo to exist and live, because the only thing that made the difference is Gendo just wanted to use mfs to his end, where Shinji cared way more about what ppl thought and strived for some ounce of actual understanding about his position.

[@NoChance18]

That's the correct way of rotating a drill though, the grooves (lines in this shot) are supposed to be pulling dirt up and out of the ground. The goof from the original animation was the lines appearing to move downwards, which would push dirt back into the hole.

[@EmporerSwag]

I love that this accurately represents the plot in a way that actually clarifies many things, but also that it almost perfectly recreates the tone? Like the evangelion fights are not elegant. Despite being the product of presumably billions of dollars worth of resources, they're essentially just these brutal streetfights. The fact that each evangelion is, in a very real way, the pilot's mother, every time they get injured or maimed, or killed, it feels like watching those things happen to the character's mother. Especially for the last Asuka fight. Traumatic.

I remember the only time he was an effective pilot was when he wasn't conscious. It always just seemed like it was a teenage angst. But FLCL did a much better job of expressing that.

[@sorsocksfake]

@@MikeTsBees Hardly - it's just that the series for a large part is about his psyche. But he performs (considering circumstances) as capable as one could untrained against Sachiel, well against Shamshel, adequate against Ramiel, assists on Gaghiel, does fine with Israphel, Matarael and Sahaqiel. Leliel was arguably his biggest fail, but nobody else did better tbh. Bardiel he got terrible guidance, and on Zeruel he performed beyond what one could expect, only stopped by the power running out. Sandalphon and Ireul he was not involved, Arael he had to sit out, Armisael was blown up by Rei first, and Tabris sorta killed himself. Obviously berserk was vastly more capable: the series is quite clear that that's the real EVA. The mecha is merely a way of operating its body remotely, with heavy restraints.
