I don't recall people ever saying Eva was subtle. Maybe with the lore in the backdrop, but not the themes..
Luis Walker
I've never seen anyone call Eva subtle
Lucas Wood
Who said eva is subtle it constantly tells its themes to the viewer and people still don't get them
Robert Flores
If Freudian thought has been proven to be false, does that mean all of Eva's ideas are wrong?
Ryan Flores
Matters less than the characters being familiar with Freud and proceeding as if it's true. There's a breakdown of the Oedipal complex playing on the radio in Misato's car because she's interested.
Jace Ward
most of the time they hurt each other due to misunderstanding and hiding their true feelings out of shame and fear
Wyatt Gutierrez
It's subtle with it's framing and stuff. The themes themselves are pretty in your face.
Oliver Clark
edgy anime about religion and sex. cool.
Jackson Cooper
Shit is far from subtle. It's existentialism for babies, AND I FUCKING LOVE IT.
Josiah Rivera
When you're third eye is finally opened, but it's also a clit about to be pierced by religion
Fucking based
Jason Cooper
Dood...that's not where the clit is.

>reality and interacting with people is terrifying and horrible and there's no guarantee it'll work out
>but you have to do it... because... uhh...
how am I supposed to be positively influenced by evangelion? it never shows the benefits and potential happiness that can come from not rejecting reality
if anything it makes it seem more appealing with how brutally realistic it is with its message
the characters don't resolve their relationships with each other even in the end, it's left up in the air and is hopefully bleak at best
this shit just made me even more depressed and reclusive

thats what Rebuild of Evangelion is for

Only progressives and sciencefags think Freud is debunked. But of course they only didn't like his idea that sexual repression is good for the furthering of civilization.
Logan Lewis
Ultimately, Anno is just a blind conformist. Monkey see monkey do. They retread this shit over and over but they can never seem to manage to come up with a honest, non-propagandic, non-rosetinted answer.

You have a point, it's just that Shinji uses fucking Angel magic to fix everything there and the story is more geared to the "move forward" kind of archetype of story.
Landon Baker
rebuild is fucking dogshit fanfiction with gutted characters and a retarded story that makes no sense and ruins everything that was great about the show
Isaac Foster
>it's not subtle so its bad
Come back when you stop being a teenager.

Shinji is happy between episode 7 to the beginning of episode 16.
Matthew Carter
because the alternative is death.
Connor Bennett
death feels good
also that's a retarded non answer and not how reality actually works
that was before any of the major character conflict happened
there was nothing resolved in that timeframe, so the message falls flat when all the tension starts and then doesn't get figured out in the end
