>>3303894>Asuka (and the color red) always represented reality in EvaI did not know that a character that during all NGE denied the truth about her represents reality
>the end of EoE was Shinji managing to finally make a connection with AsukaWhat connection is he talking about?, Shinj at the end had a great desire to kill Asuka, also in the whole movie is evidenced Shinji's contempt towards Asuka, he only want her in a sexual way
>Anno is revisiting that moment. The people who 3.0 is about never managed to make that connection to reality (Asuka) and so Asuka has to drag Shinji to it himself, setting up 3.0 + 1.0. "Anno has been improving and glorifying Asuka in RoE, 4.0 is probably the movie for her.
>>3303895>and even though it was flawed and disgusting tried to reach out to AsukaAt what time of EoE did that happen?
>The Shinji at the end of 2.0 drags Rei (symbol of fantasy and dependence on the Mother)Rei is everything contracted to escapism, for example she never denied the truth about her identity (Lilith) but she accepted it, Rei's character is about progress while Asuka's is about falling over
>he stays for over a decadeThe time skip is one of the many things that made 3.0 bad, the message of the movie is to say that saving Rei is wrong because you will destroy the world with your actions
>This is also why the Eva from the animator expo last year that was Eva-related to a theme of the Eva cycle repeating itself to absurdity.That's an excuse for not saying "I do not know how to end a story"
>but this time Shinji is stood entirely alone between rubble and goes after her with resignation.Shinji follows Rei because he trusts her, in 3.0 everyone treated him like trash
The pic related is for the author of that "analysis"
