Evangelion 3.0+1.0 Prediction Thread

The more outlandish your theory is, the more likely Anno will do it.

it will never come out

Shinji will have sex with his dad

3.0+1.0 will have all of its characters become jobbers to Darling in the Franxx characters to usher in the new era and make new stars because Eva is killing anime.

It will be a combined version of episode 25, 26 and EoE. Perhaps with multiple alternate worlds, but probably not.
But this time instead of a therapy session for depression it will be about letting go, both Anno letting go of Eva once and for all, but also as a lesson for the Otakus , that as Eva is brought to an end, they too need to move on with their life and stop what they have been doing for the past 23 years, doing nothing but
mindlessly consuming media.
There will also probably be a Live-action segment towards the end with Anno himself talking to the audience. And the final scene will be Shinji putting down a phone on a phone booth, symbolising that a continuation of such a lifestyle will bring nothing new and that they will forever be stuck in a cycle unless they break out, unless that wasn't obvious.

The fuck happened to the other thread ?

Astonishing, i didn't even imagine this possibility

It's gonna suck

Why did Anno have to make Shinji a literal faggot?

Because Anno is a closet case and his beard is a fujo.

you cant predict something that will never happen.

I subscribe to the theory known as "Never Ever"

Anno is gay.

...

How does it feel knowing nobody will ever love you as much as Kaworu loves Shinji?

Kaworu IS Shinji. Kaworu killing himself was Shinji killing off his past persona of being a bitch.

But shinji always turns into an even bigger bitch after Kaworu dies

Why the fuck did the faggot mods delete the last EVA thread?

Because Asukafags are cancer

Fanfiction don't belong on Sup Forums.

It's already out and it's wonderful.

It will come out sometime in the next 3 years.

02 is nothing like Asuka.
Miku is the Asuka of the series.

It'll end on a cliff hanger and there will actually be a fifth rebuild because reasons

>Asukafags are cancer
>Thread shitted up as soon as kaworufags come to start shit
really makes you think.

This.. would actually be kinda cool.

It's all done in stop-motion clay art.

>Asukafags need their tumblr hugboxes or else they get triggered
Really activates the ol' noggin

>kaworufags
Nah user, we're just straight up faggots.

Okay, how about everyone dies oh shit EoE already did that.

No one truly died in EoE apart from Gendo, everyone else became LCL.

He'll just rerelease Shin Gojira and change its name to Evangelion 4.

Well, I wouldn't be complaining.

Being fruit punch is basically being dead.

Brain in a vat is very much not death

How does it even work if its just a clear liquid with no structures like a brain?
If you take a cup and scoop out some LCL did you just separate some people within instrumentality?

it'll be shit
anyone wanna rate my theory? I spent quite a bit of time coming up with it.

There's only 1 man who can save this franchise.

if you drink the water, are you consuming someone´s soul?

I trust the Rock to give THE FANS a #LITTY flick that will make you wet your face with tears

The Rebuilds are widely theorized to be a continuation of Evangelion's story, just set in the future with the past looping over and over. So judging by the title itself (3.0 + 1.0), wouldnt it make sense to just call it 4.0? No. Because what 3.0+1.0 is going to be is a representation of what happens between each loop, how it starts and how it ends. So basically, 3.0+1.0 is going to show us how the loop ends (the 3.0 part) and how it starts (the 1.0 part). pretty much a mix of End of Eva and episode 1 and maybe first or second impact

Unironically this makes the most sense and should be obvious.

Kaworu has basically been pulling an Akemi Homura this whole time, Asuka Langley Sohryuu was erased from existence/replaced by Shikinami and Shinji unknowingly has the capability to manipulate time itself.

I hope Bautista gets cast as Gendo.

ill pay shekels for thia

Rebuild and most of EVA so far except the original has been Anno pampering his own favorite characters and downright ruining the rest. He wrecked the Rebuilds just to stick it to Rei and Rei fans, since he's mad Rei was so much better as a character.
He's been doing this for almost 20 years now. What do you think FINAL will be? Is Anno suddenly going to have a change of heart? Not likely.

I predict its total vaporware and that Anno will take all his secrets to the grave as a final fuck you to otakus.

>Batista wrestling The Rock in a Buried Alive match but it's an Entry Plug instead of a coffin.

Kaworufags and Asukafag shitting it up as usual.

Last posts sums it up well really:
>You know that's not true. I hate to say it, but just look at this thread. All this shipping, all this hatred. Kaworufags and Asukafags need their ships validated, otherwise they know that their characters aren't worth anything. If Asuka doesn't "get" Shinji - then what is she? If Kaworu doesn't "get" Shinji - then what is he?
So much of their characters have been defined around being coupled with another, that it's all that matters to their fans. Without shipping, Kaworu would just be that one-off character that died and had cameos. Without shipping, Asuka would just be an abject failure for the entire series but with a cool fight and an open-ended character conclusion.
Rei escaped this because being paired with Shinji was never her characters focus (although that never stops people, just like with Asuka x Rei) or the focus of the fans, but as a counterweight she just didn't have the favor with the writers (who arguably, hated the character out of otaku jealousy) and ended up fading out as a good character as well.

Shitflinging on a bunch of shitty 2D girls isn't a discussion.

Prediction: Anno will cater to Asukafags and Kaworufags and shit on Rei, and leave things ambiguous. It'll involve whatever mix of wish-fulfillment loop theory/infinite escapism plot device you'll want.

Anno and Rebuild died with 3.33 after his corpse looked like it started twitching with the other two Rebuilds.

If he hated Rei so much then why does 2.0 spend so much time with her and even ends with Shinji, in what's basicly his highest point in the entire series, saving her life?

got to sell those figurines and daki covers, user

Only so he could destroy it, presumably. Anno chooses to spend time on Rei so he can subvert the character. He does the same thing in 3.33, Shinji is seeking Rei, and Anno punishes him for it using unrealistic plot twists. In 2.22 he rewrites Asuka into being a popularity-machine devoid of the flaws the original had, don't forget that. In 3.33, he spends a lot of time showing us Rei at her weakest, a damsel in distress that's a clone of Shinji's mom, even rewriting Gendo and Yui so that Yui now has Rei's surname - meaning Rei inherited her name from Yui, just like her genetics. This helps in killing Rei as an individual, just like splitting Rei's character into multiple character also accomplishes that.

If you've ever watched an american political attack ad, it's the same principle. To fight a war, you must involve your enemy as the main focus. These ads always give their "target" the most focus, with an "I approve" message by the one they intend to look better by the end.

Both 2.0 and 3.0 essentially established Rei as final goal of Shinji's happiness. She definitely must come into play somehow in 3.0+1.0.
Esspecially with Shinji's current state, where he needs some goal to get back will to live.

What will be Sup Forums's reaction win Asuka wins?
Will moot visit us again?

Don't you understand, user? No one will ever win in eva. How else will they continue milking the cash cow? We're never ever going to get a conclusive ending or official pairings.

Except it won't really matter, does it? That's what people speculated after 2.0 as well, since Rei had development with Shinji it'd make sense for them to develop more in whatever fashion, but then 3.33 came and showed that Anno does not actually try to write detailed characters.

Rei's character has been sabotaged by 3.33, even if FINAL brings Rei back, it's going to be fake-Rei anyway. It's only possible to fix this by dialing the OTHER characters (Misato, Ritsuko, Asuka, Kaworu) back exactly as much as Rei has been dialed back. If Rei is so much less than her original character, so must everyone else - otherwise 3.33 will still be the pandering schlock 3.33 proved it to be.

Can Anno just pull a Fate or something and make everyone happy by splitting it into separate routes so this can die already.

No, original Rei (from 1.0 and 2.0) still exist. It was stated that she is preserved within Eva 01, this is obvious that possibility of her resurrection come into play. Original Rei is now basically in same situation as Yui. And I have suspicion, that getting Shinji into this position was Gendo's plan from begining.
Rei's chatacter is not destroyed, but focus is rather moved to her individuality and role of her relationship with Shinji.

I thought Asuka technically wins in EoE, on account of everyone else on the planet being tang.

He should have stuck with his original damn script. I don't understand his need to go where he has so far with 3.0.

What would happen after you piss it?

What happens in 3.33 is meant to parallel episode 23 were after finally becoming less reserved and more assertive, all that character developments resets with her death. It is the exact same thing but meant to be even worse now since apparently she didn't even inherent residue memories like in NGE. It's meant to be tragic not as a jab against her character.

Also the changes made too Rei backstory are not as character defining as you make them out to be. In both the Rebuilds and NGE so is Rei's body based on Yui, sure they call her a clone in the Rebuilds but that doesn't really mean much since she was always geneticly practically a clone anyway. But Rei's mind is still Rei not a clone of Yui whose soul is still stuck in the 01. They don't mention Rei soul in 3.33 if I remeber correctly so it can still be from Lillith.
And making the name Ayanami come from Yui changes almost nothing of importance at all.

>Original Rei is now basically in same situation as Yui.
Precisely. Tying her even closer to Yui. That is character death.

The Rei from 1.0 and 2.0 is no longer capable of being the Rei the original represented. She will start 3.33 as a damsel in distress, and even if the whole movie centers around her - there's not enough time to undo the damage.

>Rei's chatacter is not destroyed, but focus is rather moved to her individuality and role of her relationship with Shinji.
Yes, but in a negative way. It has stripped Rei of individuality and narratively punished her relationship with Shinji. The whole world being destroyed, and the blame pinned on Shinji represents that. Only a major plot twist of poor quality (oh it wasn't really his fault) could undo that. We're still left with the fact that the story and the rest of the characters are botched just to make for 90 lousy minutes of Asuka and Kaworufan wish fulfillment.

So in every possible way but shallow, visual gratification, Rei's character is no more in the Rebuilds. Resurrecting Rei isn't enough at this point. Because we're still left with everything else. A pampered Kaworu, Misato or Asuka cannot possibly survive unpunished in equal amounts, if not worse for their guilt.

Not him but everyone comes back. There is no "win by default", and a "win by default" can't be called a win either. There is no winning in EVA concerning romance.

I want to see this.

They can always open the movie with Gendou yelling "CUT!" and scolding all the kids for being shitty in their scenes.

he is punishing the fans. are you dim?

anno has stated that otaku attach to the imagery he presents because they're too dumb to learn the message. the industry itself copied eva by putting in pale blue haired stoics and the planet ending and really, really dumb philosophy, rather than copying the character relationships

he first thought telling otaku to confront their fears (robot) could rehabilitate them, instead they became obsessed over robots. he thought telling them "girls aren't perfect, life is hard, you have to learn to handle it" instead, they turned mental illness into a fetish

anno is trying to shock them out of it by reducing eva to the basest elements the fans liked and turning it upto 11. hence, rei is literally an alien. mroe action. more mystery. more psychological abuse.

he is trying to tell them the idea they have in their heads about hat they "like" is retarded by GIVING it to them, then pointing out "actually you hate this"

>What happens in 3.33 is meant to parallel episode 23

I don't agree with that premise. It's meant to pervert episode 23. Episode 23 is for Rei a great episode, it's her episode in many ways, letting Rei develop and understand herself more. Rei is still Rei despite dying, is the point makes with this, and it makes it very clear that only Rei is Rei, the clones being empty shells that neither move or have souls. They're just HER spare parts. It's empowering and frightening at the same time.

It's the difference between Ritsuko breaking down in awe at what they've done and the godhood they've found, and Fuyutsuki holding a bored powerpoint about how Rei is Yui's clone and just one of many in a "batch".

>Also the changes made too Rei backstory are not as character defining as you make them out to be.
They are, because this change (calling Rei a clone) is specifically tailored to suit Asuka fans, who need Rei to be a clone to validate their shipping fantasies. Rei was changed just to suit the palate of Asuka fans, and that ruins and invalidates the entire character.

>And making the name Ayanami come from Yui changes almost nothing of importance at all.
Yes it does. In addition to Rei being inside EVA01 with Yui as a parallel to Shinji's mom, taking her surname, being her clone, Rei has no longer any agency of her own and is intrinsically tied to being an offshoot from Yui. In the original, Rei was based partly on Yui, but in every way her own thing.
Now Rebuild portrays Rei through Rei Q as someone who can't think, act or do anything on her own, someone who just takes orders. This is the same genetic material as Rei, she is a clone of Rei. This validates yet again the Asukafag crap that Rei is a doll. It makes people think of Rei as weak. Some people may watch Q and not even get that it's not really Rei. Hell Anno might even twist it to be some sort of Rei hivemind.
Even if Rei's soul is still from Lilith, the damage is already done.

No.

3.33 was made specifically to destroy Rei's character. It didn't want to develop Rei's character so it left it outside the story, inside EVA01. But then they still wanted to include Shinji being put off by Rei, so they made Rei Q and thus deprived Rei of Rei III's development. Rei Q acts out Rei III's role, but she's a different character altogether. One that will never truly be accepted as Rei, because fundamentally she isnt.
They can add some sort of fantasy/scifi "word of god" type of thing that says "oh they're the same character, despite how it doesn't make sense" - much in the way they made Rei Yui's clone, despite how that doesn't make sense either. It's not going to make it any less retarded.

3.33 is nothing but a statement that Anno would rather destroy the world, kick out Rei and then include a clone of her just to NOT develop her at all despite the plot and story NEEDING Rei. More than his favorite characters.

That's why you need to stop it with the damage-minimizing. It only makes things worse.

Have they even released any info on the release date or production?

Ritsuko does not "breakdown in awe" she shows nothing but contempt and hatred for the dummy Rei's.

Rei was always Gendos temporary replacement for Yui as well as the vessel for Lillith soul which he was going to use to bring back Yui, so Rei was always an offfshoot from her.
Rei Q is just a regression of Rei to how she was before Shinji, it is not at all a completly new direction for her character, someone who doesn't do anything on her own, someone who just takes orders is how Rei was portrayed at the beginning of NGE. Nor is it a destruction of her character in anyway, since the end of 3.33, at least to me, set it up in such a way that it was obvious that even the new Rei would change with time and become more like how she was before, or possilby develop in an completely different direction, either way it is clear by the end of the movie that Rei Q is not just a doll but someone with a personality that can change.

I'm not sure if Asuka being stranded alone by the person she hates the most, is "winning"

This. I mean holy shit what's taking so long?

>Ritsuko does not "breakdown in awe" she shows nothing but contempt and hatred for the dummy Rei's.

This is wrong. Re-watch it. The dummy Rei's, she shows contempt for. But she also says - explicitly - that they are NOT Rei Ayanami. To explain Rei and what's going on there, she rants on about what they found in the antarctic, what made the EVA's, and the chamber of guf - whence Rei came.

>Rei was always Gendos temporary replacement for Yui as well as the vessel for Lillith soul which he was going to use to bring back Yui, so Rei was always an offfshoot from her.
False. This shows you didn't watch the series. Rei was an unplanned event, and Rei was never an offshoot of Yui but her own entity, a angel/human hybrid in the original canon. Gendo even came to care for Rei, as remarked by Fuyutsuki - in Rebuilds Gendo doesn't give a single shit, further removing value from Rei.

>Rei Q is just a regression of Rei to how she was before Shinji, it is not at all a completly new direction for her character, someone who doesn't do anything on her own,
Also revisionist bullshit. What you wrote couldn't be further from the truth. Rei before Shinji is fully capable of speaking, emoting, even smiling - and doesn't (in her own words even) just wait for orders. Episode six.

>Nor is it a destruction of her character in anyway,
Blatant damage control and denial to defend that you like Rei's character being destroyed.

>since the end of 3.33, at least to me, set it up in such a way that it was obvious that even the new Rei would change with time and become more like how she was before, or possilby develop in an completely different direction, either way it is clear by the end of the movie that Rei Q is not just a doll but someone with a personality that can change.

Rei was never a doll in the first place. Rei Q objectively is. It doesn't matter what Rei Q becomes, because she's not Rei. Rei from the previous movie is inside EVA01. See the pic in

Don't be retarded. It was a downright character asssasination and there's NOTHING like Rei Q in NGE.

Like, way to go showing you didn't even watch NGE. It's either that or you're a dumb Asukafag damage-controlling now that it's made clear that Anno ruined EVA and Rei just to make sure your waifu didn't get unpopular again.

I think, that you are doing main critical mistake as most others. Stubbornly compare Rebuild to Original series and piedestaling original series as something that Rebuild had to follow. WAKE UP! While using same characters, world and setting. Rebuld is not original series in any way. Rebuild is completely and thematically different work that is so much different as current Anno is different from his 1995's self. People are changing, and Anno too, now he wants to tell us different new story, while using his original characters. Why? Because is simpler to tell message, when you are using familiar things.

Best think is completely forget about original series and don't use it beyond slight references. That's whole thing.

Characters are same, but their roles are different. And obviously it will be like that. It's not bad thing. You just must realise that and not being stuck in past. When you actually start think about it you will even see natural progress in how characters changed.

Rei's role at this point is being Shinji's goal. His happiness. This was alluded even in original where in EoE was stated that she represents Shinji's "hopes and dreams", but now it's actually literal. Rei literaly became person for which Shinji decided sacrifice everything and suffers when he is without her (which was point of 3.0). Now in 3.0+1.0 is time for him to put yourself together and fight for her.
For Rei's character you must actually think about two characters. Rei from 1.0 and 2.0 and Rei from 3.0, they are literally two separate characters, that follows Rei's theme each from own way. First (let's call her original Rei), learned to follow her heart, and when decided sacrifice herself for Shinji's happiness she reached her peak as person, and movie ends with Shinji telling her that she is irreplaceable.
This is fully put in play in next movie when second Rei is introduced (let's call her Rei Q), she is not Original Rei, and never meaned to be. She will never replace original for Shinji, and when she understand that "she is not Rei", she start dealing with identity crisis and movie left her in that state.
So 3.0+1.0 now have to deal with two Reis and somehow them to bring to natural conclusion. What it will be, currently knows only Anno.

>I think, that you are doing main critical mistake as most others

You'd be wrong. The rest of your post is literally not an argument except "it's different now, don't care about how, it's different just accept it". How about no? It's about HOW it's different you nitwit.

Anno isn't telling any goddamned story and you're full of shit, literally more than a decade in the making and there's nothing even resembling a working story. It's you who need to ake the fuck up to the realities.

Because homolove it's the purest form of love. Never trust a woman.

I have watched the show multiple times but perhaps I have confused some of the minor details with the rebuilds. But my point is that Rei Q is just a somewhat more extreme version of the Rei from the beginning there is a reason as to why she was called a doll even is she wasn't literally one.
i don't particularly like the Rebuilds and I do like Rei as a character in NGE,but I just don't see 3.33 as a utter destruction of her characater nor do I believe that Anno had any ill intent towards her character that led him to try to destroy her, because she happend to be more popular than Asuka.

Post full of shits and fucks is difficult to take seriously. Sorry.

I don't know if you realize this, but the message is lost if the story is horrible or a mess to follow in the first place. Also, it seems like a stupid waste of company money. Christopher Nolan did it with Inception (To great applause) and Kojima did it with MGS:SoL (Which the gaming community is still owed and apology for and hasn't been given).

>Hey I wanna punish my fans for missing the point of my series. Can I have money to rehash everything?
>Sure

I'm sure that's how the meeting went.

>For Rei's character you must actually think about two characters. Rei from 1.0 and 2.0 and Rei from 3.0, they are literally two separate characters, that follows Rei's theme each from own way.

In other words, you broke Rei. Congratulations. There's two characters here, not one. You can't think of "two" characters when thinking of one. There's only one Rei, and both of them have been reduced to absolutely nothing of what Rei was originally. Not only that, Rei is robbed of her "identity crisis arc" that is CRUCIAL for her character to even work given her backstory, and not only that Rei doesn't even get to continue along the road she started on with 2.0, that could be different.

Stop ignoring 80% of the points made, just accept you're wrong if you're just going to speak bullshit knowingly.

>So 3.0+1.0 now have to deal with two Reis and somehow them to bring to natural conclusion. What it will be, currently knows only Anno.
Like said earlier, he can try to bring them together or apart or as much as he likes. The facts are that Rei remains a broken character without any of the depth or greatness the character emobodies. The opposite is true, she is intentionally weakened and put in contrast with Anno's favorite characters - Asuka and Kaworu for the most part. You cannot avoid this convenient fact. What Anno did was just pandering, and unless he's willing to undo all of it, 3.0+1.0 is going to be just pandering garbage like the rest of his Rebuilds.

No one gave a shit about Rei Q, a character that STOLE Rei's depth and made a joke of it with "hur durr what is like", "hurr durr i only do what Im ordered to". It was just a pathetic display because Anno hates the shit out of Rei. Those are the facts, and nothing will change that no matter how hard you try to rationalize it.

>But my point is that Rei Q is just a somewhat more extreme version of the Rei from the beginning there is a reason as to why she was called a doll even is she wasn't literally one.

Yeah, in the original that reason was because Asuka was an insecure bitch with a past trauma about dolls, who was herself a doll and did what she always did: projected her own insecurities on Rei. Rei delivers her response, cash upfront: "I am not a doll." . Can Rei Q do that? Nope.

>I just don't see 3.33 as a utter destruction of her characater nor do I believe that Anno had any ill intent towards her character that led him to try to destroy her, because she happend to be more popular than Asuka.
Then you're delusional. You either don't want to see it, or you see it and try to play it down because you don't actually like Rei or don't want Asuka or Anno to look worse for it. Read up about Anno please. Everyone who knows the guy says his new productions are "onani shows", in other words Anno masturbating himself.

> But my point is that Rei Q is just a somewhat more extreme version of the Rei
What Rei? Was there EVER a Rei like Rei Q? There never was. In fact if you haven't caught on, the point of Rei Q was to manipulate gulible suckers like you into thinking that this is always what Rei was. Rei isn't an extreme version of Rei, neither is Rebuild Asuka an extreme version of NGE Asuka. They are both complete reversals of their characters. Asuka gets flaws removed, Rei gets flaws ADDED and then some. Rei becomes the subject of a massive narrative attack, where the main character is punished for pursing Rei in any fashion whatsoever, even if it's a clone. A highlight oft he story is people telling Shinji (you) how Rei is soulless (Kaworu said this), how its stupid to make a fuzz about her (Asuka said this), how she's just a clone of Yui (Fuyutsuki said this), and how she's just boring compare to her "original" (Mari said this). There's even more but I ran out of characters.

This dude has alzhiemer's. No one would be autistic enough to repeat the same thing over and over again for 5 years straight without going insane.

On another note, should I order pepperoni or pineapple pizza from Domino's?

It'd help if you weren't totally retarded though. Just read your shit once over and wonder why the fuck ANYONE would make a reply like yours, except for going on the defensive.

I can guarantee that halfway through the movie there will be an irl segment where Anno just stares at the camera and calls you a retard

t. brainlet

eva is one of the best tv programs of all time. mgs2 is one of the best games

if you can only handle things you understand completely, go buy some toy trucks and tinkertoys you faggot

>3.33 as a utter destruction of her characater nor do I believe that Anno had any ill intent towards her character that led him to try to destroy her, because she happend to be more popular than Asuka.

That's basically what it is though. Otherwise, how do you explain Asuka getting a complete rework that surgically removes the flaws her fans hated, while Rei gets added ALL the flaws that Asukafans in particular shoved onto Rei, that she never had in NGE? It's all a little too convenient. Anno is an Asuka fan, he gives Asuka a queens treatment and throws Rei to the dogs - put two and two together. You can do it.

it'll be too girls one cup with rei and asuka

shinji is the cup

>mgs2 is one of the best games

Put me in the screencap, okay?

is he really a gayhomo?

Every character is a lot less interesting in the Rebuild Asuka as well, this is not a problem that only Rei has.
But Rei Q is not some gigantic incomprehensible leap from Rei character. But yes she did absolutly nothing in 3.33 and is a lot less interesting than Rei in NGE but she is obviously more of a set up character meant to pay of in the next movie. Whether Anno will deliever on the set up I don't know, but i do not see any spite towards Rei character more than I see for example any spite in Misato character in 3.33.

Seriously discuss with fanbase full of emotions is hard.

>But yes she did absolutly nothing in 3.33 and is a lot less interesting than Rei in NGE but she is obviously more of a set up character meant to pay of in the next movie
I can agree with this guy.
Also whole 3.33 was basically just setup for next movie.

Samefag or not, you're still wrong.
>Every character is a lot less interesting in the Rebuild Asuka as well, this is not a problem that only Rei has.

Stop it right there. You pretend that it's merely about something vague like being "interesting", when it's about the concrete changes made to the character.

I call BS on your fake opinion because as everyone knows, SHIKINAMI IS SUPER FUCKING POPULAR. In other words, SOMEONE finds her "interesting" for WHATEVER reason.

> i do not see any spite towards Rei character more than I see for example any spite in Misato character in 3.33.
Because you're focused on trying to deny the facts, because you don't like the implications. (Asuka was so shit Anno had to change her, Anno is a petty bastard, Rei was actually the best etc...)

Just like you did with what you said above.

If Misato were to be as downtrodden as Rei, she definitely wouldn't be in charge of her own spaceship. Nor her own armada, nor would she have ANY agency of her own. She'd never have rebelled against NERV because she never "found out" and was too stupid to understand she was being tricked (hurr what is like-type idiocy), and she'd be portrayed as the most negative thing the fanbase can say about her, that she wasn't really in the series.

In other words, Misato would be outed as a weak, pathetic pedophile rapist that did nothing but suck dicks and fuck around for validation, this being the main focus on the story. Fuyutsuki holds a powerpoint about this.

ACCEPT THE FACTS GODDAMNIT and stop wasting everyone's time. The sooner you come to terms with what happened, the sooner this fanbase can fucking move on.

Then try being reasonable. It's really simple. Anno likes Asuka. Rei is more popular than Asuka. Anno makes works that favor Asuka, but greatly disfavor Rei.
Why oh why would he do this? It takes a special kind of fuckhead to pretend people don't have bias and don't let it affect their judgement and actions. Like this guy: So just accept it, Anno is described as a butthurt otaku by everyone he knows. Why would he NOT act that way with Rebuild? Just because you don't like the idea of it?
