Why was everyone a dick to Shinji when at the end of 2.0 it seemed like everyone was fine with him going all out and even egged him on? It was also clear at the end of 2.0 that Shinji did not cause enough damage to obliterate the Geofront as shown in 3.0, as Kaworu stopped him beforehand and everyone had evacuated to a shelter of some sort. Oh yeah by the way your mom is the soul of Unit 01 and all Reis are clones of your mom. I expected the story to pick up immediately after Kaworu speared Shinji and it could have easily done so with much less clumsy exposition ('Hey Shinji, let's play play Shogi. Why did there have to be a 14 year time skip? The teaser at the end of 2.0 did not imply a time skip in any way and I don't think there was even a need for such a long one.

I am in no way exaggerating when I say that the movie was better at taking away things that we previously knew rather than clarifying anything for us in the Rebuild series. So I went to re-watch the movie again with aД«it more acuity and that's when I came to a conclusion:Д®vangelion 3.0 answered no questions. Recently however (coinciding with the UTW BD subs release), there has been an influx of discussion posts about 3.0, and I figured that there had to be a reason for such a community reaction to the movie there must be more to think about. The action was intense, the plot seemed interesting at the time, the animation quality was superb.

It was just another movie in the series, and I didn't analyze it to any significant extent. I saw Rebuild 3.0 about a month ago, and during that time I didn't think much of it. In this bitter confrontation to determine the future of the world, Shinji will learn first-hand that the past truly cannot be undone. But Shinji and Kaworu's brief respite lies on the eve of a new battle, one in which Shinji finds that his enemies are no longer Angels but former comrades. There, he meets and quickly befriends the enigmatic Kaworu Nagisa, who offers him warmth and insight into the state of NERV's war with the Angels. Cold and bitter, his former allies view him with suspicion and refuse to support him as he comes to terms with the consequences of his actions.ДЄ hurt and confused Shinji is rescued from WILLE by Rei Ayanami and returned to NERV headquarters. Trapped inside Evangelion Unit-01, he is recovered from space by Asuka Langley Shikinami and Mari Illustrious Makinami, only to find himself a prisoner of WILLE, a military faction led by his former guardian Misato Katsuragi. Fourteen years after the Third Impact, the Earth is a post-apocalyptic wasteland, human civilization is in ruins, and the people Shinji Ikari knows are almost unrecognizable.
