Shinji is not the only protagonist to question the logic of the war he's in, or if it's right to even question the system. I love protagonists who work like that. Who fight, but are also willing to discuss. I relate to them on a spiritual level.

I wished we could have had a crossover between "Serial Experiments Lain" and "Evangelion" when we had the chance. Yes, I can make it happen in my fic, as they are part of the same pantheon, but it won't be the same thing. Like Shinji, I question the logic I'll establish in my own story.

While Misato is definitely one of the show's best characters, the truth is, the woman shows a mentor with psychological and emotional issues unresolved. Her faith and love are as twisted as Gendo's, if not more. Doesn't matter the intentions, the methods are too wrong. That's why, just like all others, she had to go. Speaking of methods, when I saw the Monoliths, I questioned myself if they were humans or machines. Guess they nailed the feeling they've distanced themselves.

@TimerWolf studio, did you ever think about analysing this show's fics (no, this is not self-promotion, I haven't published anything) ? I think they help further the message the OG show sends. Remember ? How I explained how each one shows a different way of healing ?

Great video as always, keep up the good work! God bless

Sorry for repeating myself, it's just so others will see too. I thought I should tell you. Soon, I'll start writing a couple of fics surrounding "Evangelion" characters post-Third Impact. The story, is that after Instrumentality was broken, four of the angels (Almisael and Rei are merged in one in this scenario) were reborn, and besides offering themselves to help rebuild Earth, they travel along with Shinji and Asuka across the multiverse in order to heal spiritually. Asuka and Shinji's travels are focused around my versions of Marvel and DC universes. Rei and Kaworu focus themselves on "Star Wars". I might reference other "Evangelion" fics as parallel timelines in these fics, because they, along with the original show, are my inspiration to write this.

This is my 100% favorite CZcams “series”, worth a couple of re-watches.

YES!!

I STILL NEED THAT RESONANCE REMIX BRO PLEASE 😭

Considering the motherly identity of the Evas, to me the LCL/ocean seem a likely allegory of the amniotic fluid/the intrauterine fetal state. The beach symbolizes (re)birth. And so at the end of the series/film, Shinji is choosing to be born, i.e. deciding that life is worth living.

Time to remind my friends to watch this series again

Thank you Mr. timber! I absolutely love your analysis of evangelion and I have waited long for this new episode. I'm excited for the next one, and if I need to wait for it I will. Keep up the good work!

Oh yeah!

Worth the wait. I love watching your channel grow!

The hype is real

Oms I am so Happy to see this, love the videos!!!

Babe wake up, the GOAT posted.

AT LAST

This was wonderful. Don't ever stop.

Dude, I loved EVERYTHING from this video! That intro animation was SICK! Also, that detail of Yui watching US (in a visually horrible manner) through Unit 01 is mind-blowing! God, Anno is such a visual genius! God bless!

hey it's me again, the long shot enjoyer. i COMPLETELY forgot about the whopping 96 seconds of "beer and ashtray" in this one; it was likely the plot-relevant dialogue once again working its magic on us all. thanks again for sharing your thoughts!

Great work man thank you for this great episode i hope the next one comes out soon God bless ❤ I really want to see people talk about the mother sone relationship between shinji and misato so thank you for that too

Great to see you're back, love the intro. Yui's very un-NERV-ing if you will. Truly beautiful stuff man. look forward to every upload!

I really love your analyses. This video was as amazing as always. Looking forward to the next chapters, whenever they will come!

The way I look forward to these every time they come out

“Sit down, son. Mommy needs to talk to you.” Something I’m noticing, watching your videos, is how halting and inconstant Shinji’s forward progression is. If this show is, in at least one sense, a metaphor for growing up and accepting the hardships of life, it’s telling that Shinji has revelation after revelation, only to regress in a different but tangentially related way in connection to the previous struggle he went through. Kinda like what kids do every day! I see many kids in my line of work who take two steps forward, one step back, one step forward, two steps back, three steps forward. But it’s telling which of them commit to positive change, because with rare exception, even with full effort exerted, they all stumble. Two thoughts about the staging and structure of the show at this point. One, the confrontation Shinji has with his image of Gendo in the plug is his Act IV “recognition and reversal” moment. In Aristotle’s “Poetics,” he points to a moment in classical theater when a character recognizes an essential, incontrovertible truth, which is sometimes (but not always) followed by a role reversal, either in the intentions and actions of the protagonist, or in the perception by the protagonist of those around them. Shinji’s recognition of his repressed memories is the trigger. Gotta love how drama has universal connecting threads through space and time, whether it’s Hellenic Greece or 1990s Japan. Two, these introspective sequences in liminal space while curled up inside Unit 01 remind me a lot of Artaud’s Theatre of Cruelty. He created a novel new definition of “theatre” as a deliberate, stirring act which activates our senses to the full, separate from the colloquial “let’s go see a show” definition. Likewise, he coined a new definition of “cruelty” as the agitation that stirs us to a transgressive stance against the status quo. Artaud achieved this performative space by assaulting the audience with sound and light and language, in a way that made the barrier between audience and stage disappear, and all participants had the opportunity to confront themselves, as individuals and as a collective. Pretty spot on for what Shinji goes through several times over the course of the show Excellent video, as always. I hope my long responses don’t come across as me “well, actually”ing your insights. Your videos are a take on the show I haven’t yet seen, and it stimulates some deep reflection, which I appreciate a lot. Also, was not expecting to see your animated butt today. Certainly got my attention, though.
