Men would literally rather slay the gods and assume their place than go to therapy

[dogofchaos]

I think Anno made the new series because he could fight his depression and learned to believe in people again.

[skyblade]

“It’s just confusing, and so we push on.”

If that doesn’t describe Eva…

[phillipdino]

Seeing Shinji turn from flawed, nihilistic and self centred to genuinely optimistic, compassionate and selfless over the course of two series is probably the most cathartic experience I’ve had in fiction

[homarb]

fellas is it gay to be born across infinite timelines to give someone a happy ending

[singhswings]

Basically the anime is the first "bad ending" and the movies start the cycle of "the loop" where it repeats over and over again until shinji gets his "good ending" small things being changed creating a butterfly effect later on, but instead he creates the happy ending for everyone but himself.
Edit: Yes I know Shinji does kinda get a good ending

[gonzafreytes]

Maybe the real Eva were the friends we killed along the way.

[darkmatter]

I laughed like a madman when he said “Shinji declares his wish for a world without evangelions which rei dubs as a neon genesis”

[Just_Tamaki]

this reminds me of the time when shinji said "this truly was an evangelion 3.0 + 1.0 thrice upon a time" and then proceeded to become real

[DJFRASSMAD]

It's insane how one dude decided not just to create God's and become a god and kill gods just to revive his wife.

[ceeb]

A lot of people don't care for the Rebuilds, but damn, if even just hearing the plot of 3.0+1.0 doesn't make me emotional. To me, it feels like the circle finally being completed. A cycle of suffering finally ending. It's beautiful.

[_sty__le]

What I love about Thrice Upon a Time is that you got to see all of these characters finally heal and let go of the trauma that haunted them for decades

[travisdk]

I assumed Mari was one of the first Eva pilots, and stuck that age because the "curse". She's not a clone she's the original and is trying to atone for what happened to Yui.

[shadowboy]

God Rei planning that dinner for Shinji and Gendo is unironically one of the sweetest things i have ever seen. The end of 2.2 FUCKINF DEVASTATED ME

[ScreenTalker]

The Eva 03 sequence hurt more with Asuka yet was more ruthless with Toji

[Iveboy]

Toji's sister not wanting shinji to pilot again at the end, fearing what he might do, is hilarious considering they were all royally screwed anyways if he did nothing.

[swiip]

Mari can aleo be seen as "new" in the cycle. Shinji kept struggling with the same people worsening his attachement issues. Mari can be seen as an external solution. Sometimes you have to just let it all go and try something new

[willasrock]

This Rebuild series is:
1 - Anno's diss track towards japanese delusional shipping Evangelion otakus, flexing his capability to overcome depression, go outside, touch grass and get a real life GF

2 - A way to keep taking said otakus's money with merch, he knows they'll buy another Asuka/Rei figurine for their collection, no matter how expensive it might be

3 - A way to self-insert his real life waifu into his most famous work, as Mari, showing he willingly evolved from an incel otaku into a simping normie

No matter what philosophical bs explanation anyone might have to give, this is my headcannon.

[adrie_rosamieee]

The video was so serious up until 6:58 where you call the Mk. 6 the Moon Gundam and just continue on like normal, made me chuckle lol

[RobotPanda]

When Shinji and Rei are talking in 3.0+1.0 and they mentioned "a Neon Genesis" I fucking lost it. What a way to tie everything together
