This is literally the only great and true ending. everything else is neither canon or even necessary

NGE eending makes no fucking sense without the context.
>MUH INSTRUMENTALITY
What?
>Split second shots of dead Misato and Ritsuko
What happened?
>some psychedelic sequence
What is that supposed to rerepresent?
>Characters interacting in a surreal environment
Makes no fucking sense out of context.

NGE exnding was a genious foreshortening towards EOE, but it makes absolutely no fucking sense without the context that EOE provides.
How are you supposed to interpret dead Misato without EOE? Did she sudoku? Did gendo kill her? Why is she still in the cast?

You're being a pretentious contrarian dick 25&26 and EOE are two inseparable parts of one experience. And if you didn't get the hint the movie is split in two fucking parts literally telling you that it shows the 25th until GNR and 26th episode after GNR. And if you interpret it that way it actually comes together into a coherent story.

>You're being a pretentious contrarian dick 25&26 and EOE are two inseparable parts of one experience
except the second half of the movie is supposed to be a replacement of episode 26. in the series shinji breaks the cycle and finds self worth, in the movie he doesn't.

if the issue is the missing plot points like dead misato and ritsuko then death/rebirth should be the "full experience", because rebirth fills in those missing gaps. the movie adds a whole new level of retard and negates all character development built up during the series

I'm pretty sure the series and EoE are companion works. The final episode is Shinji essentially being tempted to throw in the towel so to speak.

>in the series shinji breaks the cycle and finds self worth, in the movie he doesn't.

He does.
Shinji chose to live and get hurt by others and emerged from the LCL back into real world.
That corresponds with CONGRATULATIONS.
The perfect vision of a happy world with baloney pony represented Lilith asking Shinji what thee fuck does he want, she could creade such a world in LCL but he didn't want to create the matrix.

eva = reddit

Shinji's revelation is too little too late, it's virtually meaningless which in context makes it literally meaningless. Returning to the material world gives his decision material substance, which is probably the most important message. Your realizations don't matter unless you act on them.

Why is this glorified thought dump good? The point of a story is to show, rather than tell. It's not about the plot, but how the plot weaves the themes and characters together into a cohesive piece.

by your logic the instrumentality would also be "literally meaningless". shinji doesn't have any revelation in EOE

because even considering the budget and time restraints, the series ending is the closest to the original vision not ruined by forced fan service

We had not context to the choice, or what instrumentality even meant. For all we knew Shinij rejects it and everyone is still fucked.

Creatiing the matrix is what Gendo does in the N64 game and its the best ending.

3.0 could have used a little exposition to explain what the fuck was going on, like the millions of evas. Maybe all the permutations of instrumentality triggered at the end of the series are occurring simultaneously and certain parts of the various realities bleed through creating a weird mashup reality.

Is Yas Forums really so far gone that the loop theory isn't common knowledge?

There's about a billion Unit 01s floating through space

Nge+EOE is a singular finished work.

Rebuild is basically the Disney star wars and it can go fuck itself.
Remember when Terminator 1 and 2 were all about "there's no fate, finally we win and everything is awesome" and then Terminator 3 was "skynet is inevitable".
First off Terminator 3 was shit, second it ruins the T2 by extension so fuck it.

Same with rebuild, loops, evageeks, and you. You are gay, take your "common knowledge" with you and fuck off.

Its about a depressed middle age anime director and his crippling fear of intimacy, viewed through the lens of Freudian bullshit.

EVA is an emotional plot rather than an objective one, some bizzare bullshit happens but you are supposed to care about the characters. The entire story is about Shinji learning to accept himself.

The whole lovecraftian space god's invading the Earth is just a plot device to drive the character's personal drama. It's a napkin, the main dish is the drama.

And very much like the Lovecraft's works it's only losing the mysterious appeal if you dog into the boring details on the cosmology, space god's and shit, you don't need it.

The next movie will probably end the exact same way. Just before this scene Shinji will realize that for all 4 movies he's the only person that was real the entire time. Except they'll add Anno saying congratulations while holding up two middle fingers to the audience.

>Nge+EOE is a singular finished work.
It was retconned into a loop. Cope
You must be 25 to post here.

my personal favorite is the manga ending

Not gainax = non canon.
Dilate.

Anno decides the canon

What's written cannot be unwritten. For his new universe and characters to work he would need to pretend the rest of EVA never happened.
The problem is that the rest of Eva is the sole reason anybody cares about himself and his shitty spinoff.

So far Rebuild is so detached from NGE it is basically a bizzaro world parallel universe.

For example Rei Q literally cannot exist in NGE. Ritsuko outright explains to the viewer that the clones can't have souls.

But hey, you're a Evageek faggot and your only source of information is fanwank, fanfic and retake.
>Muh Original Rei Soul theory
>Muh unit 00 soul theory
>Ritsuko is literally saying it out loud THERE ARE NO CLONE SOULS
So "common knowledge" my ass. You are below me, you and your fanwank community are shit tier and any Yas Forums thread is better informed than your entire incestuous wiki based around it's own wrong fanwank rather than the actual source material.

Shit >>>> evagerks
