>anything piece of media makes me use my brain or actually feel anything is pretentious

If you liked it, you liked it. How could you call something pretentious if it moved you to tears? Just because it didn't immediately make sense to you doesn't make it pretentious or meaningless. And if it moved you that much, then I think it did make sense, it did mean something. Everything you experienced watching it meant something.
>Overcome your lifelong depression and finally decide life is worth living after all

>Not Misato
>Not your best friends from school
>Not even fucking Pen-pen
>Nobody
>Except Asuka
I love the abject pessimism of the ending.
What exactly about it is pretentious?
I've had Komm Susser Tod stuck in my head ever since this quarantine stuff started.
It all returns to nothing ...
Why do i always see retards doing this
I can't imagine how ruined that movie would be for me without seeing the show
not to mention the planet looked fucked beyond repair
I don't know how anyone can be emotionally invested in this film or even watch it at all without having watched the series
The anti-Kurtzman
>pretentious
there is virtually nothing pretentious or meaninglessly symbolic about end of evangelion. It is all incredibly straightforward. Its simply a kino overload that forces brainlets to think its assuming more depth than is actually there. Anno means it like it is, how it sounds, how it looks.
I never thought of it this way. He finally chooses life but then life rejects him and prefers to stay as orange tang. Asuka returns just to gloat.
