The Misato thing is pretty simple, she doesn’t really understand how to motivate him. The thing that she has used to help herself, and does sort of understand is sex. So near the end, she defaults to her base behavior that has helped push herself through trauma, hoping it will do the same for him.
1:12:36 in all fairness at that moment shinji was physically not able to get into unit 01 due to the bakelite. (red hardened liquid) Hence the “there’s nothing I can do.” Because he literally couldn’t. Only when unit01 breaks out after awakening hes able to pilot once more.
The reason the Eva series reactivated is because their s² drives made them into man-made angels, Asuka didn't destroy their cores so they didn't die, she went for the core on the last one so they used the false Spears to protect it
Shinji gets a bad rap for not helping asuka fight but he couldn't physically get in unit 01 because its covered in Bakelite, its only when yui/01 activates he is able to, granted the movie doesn't make it super obvious that's the reason so people asume he just wants to sit there depressed like he did previously
No, he just didn't want to enter 01, because he had a connection with it. If he really had the determination to help 02, 01 would break free on its own. He didn't want to in the first place, and the resin sealing the path was a good excuse, so he didn't move forward.
@@user-qk5tw6vh7g No, yui/01 wanted 3rd impact to happen as did gendo and seele, all for different reasons. Asuka had to die and 2 of the 9 mass production models had to be destroyed for this to start. 01 actives once this happens and has faith in shinji to reject instrumenatility
To answer your question about the production of the two endings: End of Evangelion is (with a few changes) exactly what they had planned for the final two episodes. While budget and having more creative freedom in what they could show than on TV were probably contributing factors, the main reason they dropped it was that they realized Episode 25 would air on the exact 1 year anniversary of the Aum Shinrikyo attacks, and they were afraid people would read the raid on NERV as a commentary on the police raids on Aum Shinrikyo. They made the last two TV episodes fully intended to also make what they had originally planned later. Their first plan was to release them as two additional episodes alongside the home-video release, similar to what they did with the director's cut episodes, but at some point the plan changed to release them theatrically instead. The TV ending is actually mostly made out of a bunch of ideas they had had for (mainly) Episode 26, but had to scrap for various reasons (not having screen time to include it, picking different ideas that got the same concept across, not really working with the plot and so on). An interesting example is that the very last scene in both TV Episode 26 and End of Evangelion are actually the same scene, just from vastly different points in development. From the start Anno had the idea that the series was going to on Shinji smiling, this idea is what we see in the "congratulations" scene in the TV-show. However they eventually started running into problems of how to integrate this with the plot, I think the wording said in an interview was something along the line of "we can't have Shinji smiling over a bunch of his friends' graves", so they started looking for alternative ways to get basically the same idea across (Shinji choosing to live as a individual person despite the hardships and inability to directly understand one-another, shifting the focus more to the "hardships and inabilities" part). That ultimately became the final scene of End of Evangelion. It was actually the final scene to be finished writing. A draft for the (original) last two episodes/EoE was leaked online and except for a few changes it's mostly identical to what we see in the film, except the last scene has 3 different proposed and fully written out versions. The one in the final film is actually something of a combination of elements from all 3 of those. The final line spoken by Asuka was actually only "written" when in the recording booth. Anno didn't really like how the line he had written sounded when spoken out-loud so he gave Asuka's voice actor some instructions on how to feel and asked her to improvise her reaction, and her improvisation is what made it into the film. For these reasons I personally tend to recommenced watching End of Evangelion right after Epsiode 24 and then watching TV Episodes 25 and 26 (although I would have put the very beginning of Episode 25 before EoE if I could). It follows the order they were actually (mostly) written, the watcher can directly follow the plot-line (I've seen some watchers who went TV-ending-then-EoE, not really get why Shinji is in the emotional state he is in in EoE, kinda "forgetting" what happened right before in the plot) and then get a fuller explanation of the "thesis" of the series afterwards, I feel it makes the most sense tonally (TV-first creates kinda of tonal roller-coaster in terms of bleakness, while EoE-first goes completely into the bleakness first, and then gradually pulls itself back out again), and it ultimately allows the series to end on the note Anno wanted the show to end on from the beginning; Shinji smiling.
The final scene is really simple. Shinji chokes Asuka to make sure that he was successful in undoing instrumentality because he wouldn’t be able to hurt others if it wasn’t undone, and Asuka says “how disgusting” since she now knows about the hospital scene from mixing with everyone including Shinji.
In the NGE universe, there was an ancestral race which was faced with its end, so they send out "seeds of life" to spread their descendants to specified planets across the galaxy. Each of those seeds had the soul of one of those members of the ancestral race which was inside a vessel called "moon" as well as a "Lance of Longinus" which was to control and incapacitate the seed. Each selected planet should have one and only one of those seeds. Unfortunately, Earth was the home of two seeds through an accident. One is the "Fruit of Life", or Adam and Angels and the Other one is the "Fruit of Knowledge, Lilith and the Humans. The first seed (Adam) crashed on earth in Antarctica while the second (Lilith) crashed in the Japan region. Lilith’s Spear was lost/destroyed and since the Rule was that only one seed can be active on a single planet, the spear made Adam go dormant. The Angels were created by Adam. The Crash of Lilith on Earth caused the "First Impact". Humanity was eventually born and evolved from Lilith. In the Katsuragi Expedition Adam (the one Misato witnessed) was awakened which resulted in the Second Impact. In short, SEELE is trying to create the Human Instrumentality to create the third impact so that all of Lilith souls merge into an "egg" and merging with each other so that Humanity can evolve as well as completely eradicate human conflict so that the faults of one person are compensated by the strengths of the other person. At the end of the series and in The End of Evangelion Shinji is going through Human Instrumentality. Basically, everyone becomes one in body and soul and turns into LCL, the blood of Lilith, but Shinji rejects it because he decides that being an individual that experiences both happiness and pain is necessary. Shinji's been running away from pain all his life and only wants to accept happiness but finally accepts both in the end. The second Impact was actually started by inserting human DNA into Adam and naturally that didn't go so well. Evangelions are living artificial humans of near-godlike power. They are present in nearly every single franchise entry, although their functionality and role can vary greatly depending on the story being told. Originally created by Gehirn and further developed by NERV under the supervision of SEELE, the Evangelion are born from samples of the very first Angel, Adam, with the exception of Evangelion Unit-01, which was created from the second angel, Lilith. While the Evangelion were supposedly created to combat the Angel threat, their most important functions, and one of their greatest secrets, is to initiate Third Impact to evolve humanity further. Unit-01 has the soul of Shinji's mother and Unit-02 has part of the soul of Asuka's mother. A misconception that arose from translation issues and has led to many assuming that both Adam and humanity derive originally from Lilith. This information tends to be derived from Misato's "info-dump" to Shinji in The End of Evangelion (specifically Episode 25') and a particular line that has never been translated correctly in most releases, including official ones. It is part of the following monologue: The sentence is phrased rather awkwardly in Japanese, and it is easy to get it wrong. In the incorrect translations that are commonly reproduced, Misato is saying something equivalent to "Listen carefully, Shinji. We humans also come from the source of lifeforms called Lilith, like Adam. We're the 18th Angel", which leads one to assume that Adam also originates from Lilith. This is false, as Adam is another source of life entirely and the second sentence is correctly translated as something akin to "We humans were born from the source of lifeforms known as Lilith, which is similar to Adam." Therefore, Misato was actually pointing out that both Lilith and Adam are similar, both are Seeds of Life, not saying that Adam also comes from Lilith, just as humanity.
There have been two Evangelion movies from the original series, both distributed in 1997: in chronological order "Death & Rebirth", and "The End of Evangelion". While "The End of Evangelion" closed the series, "Death & Rebirth" was split in two parts: "Death", about an hour, which was a sort of recap of the series, just narrated with a different order, different perspective, using a different montage and some redesigned cuts and frames, and "Rebirth", which basically consisted of the first 30 minutes of "The End of Evangelion", shown in theatres as a "preview" of the finale, that was to be distributed a few months after. The cut at 19:06 in this video was the final scene of the "Rebirth" part. I can't help but imagine the impact on the fans of ending the movie on such a high note. "Death & Rebirth" in my opinion is a great movie, overlooked because is considered for completionists
Asuka-thing can be interpreted as him at Shinji lowest, being a creep, doing something which disgusts even himself. Which tells of how terrible of a state he is in. A part of NGE is more or less a commentary on escapism through anime, or games, were these two movies are also a comment on the fandom: "you didnt like the message, have some explosions then". All questions of budget, deadlines and whatnot aside, the two endings are complementary to each other and that is all good. And Anno's displeasure with the fandom will reach new heights, as you will see :)
1:15:28 The swing scene should symbolize that he doesnt want to do anything without recognition, so when the other kids leave, he destroys what he has built.
This film shows the fans' hatred represented in Shinji, but that doesn't mean he's like that, it's a direct message to people who didn't like the ending of the anime, and this was said by Hideaki Anno, he was even received with threats of death, and that's why I defend Shinji, it wasn't him who masturbated and hanged Asuka, it was this audience that didn't care about the story and just wanted an apotheotic ending
How i see shinji JO-ing to asuka is: he did that already in his room, he likes the girl, and lives with her; but since hes an avoiding little creep, as soon as he thinks shes not consious, and he gets what he desires in fron of him, he goes at it. Hes always afraid, avoiding everything, but not jus phisically also emotionally; dude avoids feeling what he doesnt want with music, avoids puting his feelings at risk by doing what he thinks everyone wants, and avoids getting close to asuka by JO-ing at her; at this poit "its what he does" so he did. One of the classics for a reason, a LOT of setup, its almost missdirection, but when sheet hits the fan, it hits HARD. There is information about production saying the christian theme is only dressing, and the series doesnt have religious motives, BUT by god it has psychological ones; and all the visuals are crazy good. Few series can Stuck the landing like eva did. You HAVE to watch Michael Bays Version (2min): th-cam.com/video/FckkZihQUaU/w-d-xo.html Also soldiers didnt failed ALL shots on misato tho.

As you find, correctly, Asuka being the best character, I urge you to watch the legendary classic AMV "Eva Engel" by Kevin Caldwell. It's on TH-cam and suits Asuka so well. Also it was done in the late 90s, which is absolutely insane
Imagine an alien race passing by planet earth at that moment.. they will be wtf nop, we arent even going to ask, gtfo...XD. Another key no many people comment its that Rei / Lilith neck break before Shinji had the realization talk with Rei and Kaworu, so he already declined instumentality. Also from the psicological message, the movie is perfect, he chosed to live and grind, a very happy ending and all, peopel saying the movie is pessimistic dint really get it XD... but the meta is wtf... really Yui? You let the world become orange tang and your child suffer all that just to be a solitaire inmortal soul? She was nuts and the true evil of the series. Also the one more final many reactors wonder why Shinji continue chocking Asuka, and is my interpretation that the scene on the movie were Asuka reject him was real and not part of instrumentality. Also the ending had many posibles drafts.. and they chose "one more final" but at the end the director dint like the final line so he asked Asuka voice actress in the boot to think of somethign to say if someone masturbate wile she is sleep in bed.. and she said the iconic line, kimochi warui...
The Misato thing is pretty simple, she doesn’t really understand how to motivate him. The thing that she has used to help herself, and does sort of understand is sex. So near the end, she defaults to her base behavior that has helped push herself through trauma, hoping it will do the same for him.
The third impact is my favorite movie scene ever. The only time in my life when i was so awestruck by a piece of media that i lost my breath.
The happy music with the incredibly depressing lyrics.
Evangelion is mexican confirmed

Hence the “there’s nothing I can do.”
Because he literally couldn’t.
Only when unit01 breaks out after awakening hes able to pilot once more.
But Shinji already knew that if he wanted it hard enough, unit 01 would move. He was just giving himself excuse.
The reason the Eva series reactivated is because their s² drives made them into man-made angels, Asuka didn't destroy their cores so they didn't die, she went for the core on the last one so they used the false Spears to protect it

One of the greatest Sci-fi movie ever. In my opinion.
Well, again congratulations. It really takes time to get around the full picture.
