3rd times tha charm with video title

[@ZUCC1N]

Glad to see someone noticed me compulsively changing the title over and over to see what happens before just returning to the first one I thought of lmao

[@user-kt4vn8le5p]

In a way I feel that EoE is what would have happened if Shinji didn't go through the final two introspective episodes

[@ZUCC1N]

The movie in some releases was split marked as episode 25' and 26', so they are intended to be treated how you just said.

[@AnimeSenpai.1015]

end of evangelion was just i can not explain it showed if the last 2 episode matter in the whole series as a true evangelion fan i think that evangelion is emotions that are not expressed

[@JEmpireQueen]

How disgusting….the words that summarize the whole vibe going through end of evangelion….humans are disgusting….😢

[@ki11aqueen5]

I saw someone else’s video essay about end of evangelion and they literally said that the ending is a good ending. And that asuka putting her hand on shinjis face was beautiful. I don’t know what those kind of fans are watching. This was straight up garbage. Lmao

I cant exactly remember if I articulated it properly in this video or cut it, but i think people fail to realize that like, instrumentality in the original context is like a good thing. its a shortcut to a restart, and it kinda frames Shinji accepting that restart as a good idea that he's willing to exist in a world connected by others. EoE on contrast literally has Shinji say he would rather be alone and isolated because he doesn't want to be hurt and betrayed by others, but also still yearns for others, which isn't how things really work from the original message of Eva, you are going to get hurt but its ok and part of life. right now finishing up writing my nier automata analysis which under broad strokes, says the exact same thing, cycle of samsara but there is benefit in the pain. rebuild in my eyes then looks at the idea of the restart being a means to actually end the cycle, that a restart is unnecessary under the right circumstances because by toughing it out the characters come to some level of closure, which i recognized you from my rebuild vid so i know you know my feelings about that.

it was good that’s why i love evangelion because it has two stories the first one talking about mind of shinji and the others the second talking about what happening in reality what is nerv want and a lot of things (sorry for bad english)

[@ZUCC1N]

@@nenremn i respect your opinion but in my mind things just don't add up for the second half of EoE to be the same in tone and message as the original, especially since the manga adapts EoE up until instrumentality then swerves, making 3 divergent instrumentalties with 3 different messages.

With all due respect, I think the interpretation of Rei analyzing Shinjis mind in the movie, BEFORE (key word BEFORE instrumentality actually happens, is not only something I find to be wildly mistaken, but is something I find to also be a interpretation that completely ignores the context of the movie and what Rei is actually doing with Shinji in his “interactions” with “Asuka”, “Rei” and “Misato BEFORE, instrumentality. And this interpretation has involved people throwing some of the most hurtful and shallow insults at people who sympathize with Shinji even in Evangelion like me. Firstly, when Rei asks Shinji “what do you wish for?” and we get the long scene where he is interacting with the “women” he’s known in his life, I have to clarify for the fourth dang time, this was BEFORE, instrumentality. It was not the beginning of it or during it, it was before. Rei in this long scene was looking into Shinjis psyche, his mind, way he viewed reality, and especially the other people around him. This is why I have put these;””” on the names of Shinjis perceptions of Asuka, Rei, and Misato. Because they are exactly that, Projections. Misato, Asuka and Rei are not actually there with him analyzing his mind and looking at how “pathetic” he is. When it comes to the scene where he has the big fight with his perception of Asuka, I believe that to be what he would imagines her to say to him and how he thinks she would treat him. While it also being a projection that represents how he sees himself, whether it be delusional or not. And while one could argue that this could technically be Asuka as it may be accurate to how she actually sees him, again there is nothing that suggest this if you actually look at what Rei is doing with Shinji in the movie itself. Unless you want to interpret it that way of course, but again, context matters. I feel like people will completely ignore the context of Evangelion, so that they can jump onto the train of blind and naive Shinji hate. And don’t get me wrong, it is understandable that people will hate Shinji for the things that he’s done in EOE. But I don’t believe it to be justified. And I especially don’t think it’s justified for calling fans misogynists for simply having sympathy for a character who has gone through such deep trouble as him. In fact it’s something that sickens me and genuinely pisses me off at times. That and some people are out there assuming that people who sympathize or even empathize with Shinji automatically hate Asuka and thinks that she deserves what Shinji does to her. It’s like if I encounter that person I really don’t few like there would be anything to say to them because I feel like they've lost a part of their commons sense. I apologize for my semi-long rant when it comes to this topic but I feel like I just had to say this here.

thanks for the comment, i never intended to simply insult others with my content, i added the little bit at the end about how attacking Shinji or people that relate to him does nothing but push them further away as a way to encourage the fact that you can discuss Shinji and his actions, condemn him or call him names because he's a character, but once you start doing that to real people its a line i think you crossed that shouldn't be. that being said i don't know if this analysis is in direct response to my video or just a general response to discourse, but i never implied the events before Shinji attacks Asuka were instrumentality, but simply showing the process of Shinji agreeing to instrumentality. i also think especially with how the original series explains whats occurring in the comparable scenes you would have to have missed a lot to not pick up on the aspect that its not the people Shinji is interacting with but his perceptions of them (but then again, people can easily miss very basic things). this is partly why i discard even discussing anyone but Shinji around the half way point of the film, because there is no point analyzing them when its simply how Shinji sees them, which is portrayed to be sexual objects and means to simply help himself with no recourse the other way. Asuka does literally assault Shinji before he does it and tells him indirectly he should die, which is horrible in its own right, but it's Shinji's actions that to me present the real issue, since he simply lashes back out and behaves in a way which is selfish. to a selfish and abusive action he just hits back with his own abuse. but, Shinji is also not defined by his past actions and perceptions. there is a good manga called Goodnight Punpun, which details a boy's coming of age but also his descent into deep and deeper despair and depraved actions, but only because he fails to at any point think about if what he is doing is correct, moral or how to fix it. he simply keeps existing, pushing forward and thinking the world will simply herald him for all his good actions, but grows bitter when no one notices. the message is in a way that, that you should do things you feel are correct not for praise but just cause they are right, and address your issues without pushing it back on others. the only reason i bring up Punpun is because it directly mirrors and better handles the issue you brought up, since by starting as a young boy you see Punpun isn't some monster who hurts others on purpose, but is hurt himself and simply doesn't know how to cope or fix his issues so lashes back. you see him as an innocent boy with dreams who is slowly worn down by life, just like you and I, like anyone. the true core of Punpun is seeing his actions and being disgusted, but acknowledging he follows a very similar path to everyone who lives, you could be as bad as Punpun, but you have control to not be, but also control to not just condemn people who act like Punpun in real life since they may also simply be hurt and trying their best to cope. i hope this addresses any issues you may have had, I'm open to any further elaboration or discussion because again, just because i maybe don't agree on a few things doesn't mean you aren't also a person with their own views, and we don't need to fight over those few points of conflict.
