>>4392196I guess The Third Impact could also be interpreted as The Third Reich. It's not all nonsencical. As "central" to everything that Evangelion is shown to be (religiously and politically). Though I could never imagine Rei as a "Führer", but rather as a wave of nature. Like a disaster that you can't overcome. The only way for it to not seem like a disaster is be a part of it. Accept it with open arms rather than quiver in fear. I guess it's how you live your life up until that point that defines how you view the rawrd for your suffering. From a third person perspective, that is.
It would be very creative if that swastika were to be changed to the NERV logo. Would fit the theme without breaking the traditional approach that the Nazi outfit gave off. Just remaining "Evangelion-related". We already have a german in EVA.
