>>2833148I'm honestly not sure what arguments I haven't addressed. You've stated opinions I reject.
You say focused loudspeaker that reverbs and I say it is telepathy.
Rebuild 3 ends with Rei Q asking questions after previously only taking orders. As much as a mess as Rebuild 3 is, I don't think it is so awful that Anno decided to just not have Rei in it at all after making her the entire focus of the first two.
My argument is that when Anno has Shinji ask how a new track got on his music player and shows us the soul of Rei holding the music player and in the next film has Shinji drop the music player at the feet of the Rei that Shinji was doing all the lance stuff to change the world and make Rei back to the Rei he knew, Anno is telling us a story.
You are free to hate the story and say the story makes no sense and to reject the story from your personal headcanon. That doesn't change the real world.
In summary, I say Rebuild 3 + 1 = 4 while you insist there is no + or = and they are just some numbers. You say telepathy doesn't exist and who cares about the music player. I say Anno shows us situations that are not pointless or random.
The only new argument in this post:
>Why would they switch to a loudspeaker if they could communicate telepathically?Where you believe Rei's Eva has a loudspeaker so advanced it finds Shinji and only Shinji even through walls and barriers and yet Rei is still asking "Where are you" it is my theory that when Rei doesn't know where Shinji is physically she finds him by a link created when his soul saved her soul and then after knowing where Shinji is and busting a hole in the ship she is then able to use a loudspeaker which Shinji is now able to hear when he wouldn't have heard it before a hole is made.
Why not continue telepathy? The standard trope is that speaking mind to mind requires concentration so once the original problem of not knowing where Shinji is has been solved, why not go back to the easier common form?
