Finally watched 3.0 +1.0

>finally watched 3.0 +1.0
Christ, Any Forums weren't kidding about this. This wasn't even like the original series or EoE where you had to piece things together to understand plot points; this just straight up off-screened some of the crucial plot points.

The most interesting parts of the movie were the shit they just mentioned in passing (e.g. NERV civil war)

I'm willing to concede that I just got filtered or didn't pay close enough attention, but what's the coherent explanation for shit like 'Yeah, Evas are the pinnacle of bioengineering and require the development cost of a small country's GDP, but here's 6 billion of them.' The original series was obtuse, but it still made fucking sense in context with its own universe.

The most insulting thing was that it didn't even have any really memorable sequences like Unit 02 vs MP Evas in End of Evangelion; Unit 13 and Unit 01 got a chuckle out of me with the different locales and the throwback to Human Instrumentality in the original series, but the animation was absolute shite.

tl;dr: just what you'd expect from the Master, Mr Anno

because they were traumatized by the past terrible Gainax management, Anno and others acted more like producers than actual artists in the Rebuild movies, ensuring products that would be well-received both critically and commercially. You might not like it, but the majority of the people did and still do.

Asushin will never be canon, get over it

>well-received critically
Would have always agreed with 'commercially' because it's Eva and is a Japanese licence to print money, but I had to check on the critical reception. Fuck me dead, I'm even more baffled now.

The village sequence and Shinji vs Gendo was kino, everything else was trash

thanks to Shinji being in an LCL coma for years over the timeskip between 2.0 and 3.0, Gendo had enough time to master the ADAM powers he got from inserting into himself the Key of Neduchanezaar (i.e what remains of ADAM's physical body). He plundered other EVA timelines for raw resources including scrapped EVAs, and converted Nerv HQ into a fully autonomous mass production plant.
Yes this is only alluded to by like three lines from Gendo to Shinji near the end

So the whole 'infinite universes' thing that was alluded to at the end as part of the whole 'anti-universe' point is essentially where everything came from?

>I'm even more baffled now.
are you really? only a small portion of the general audience are active, critical viewers. the majority just feel whatever the soundtrack tells them to feel.

Or maybe they just had access to an s2 engine and a billion rei clones to automate production. I'm pretty sure the writers even said everything's automated. Plus Gendo only inserted the key during 3.0's ending because he still has the bag containing it when he is talking to SEELE.
