>>2156796But what exactly is the truth? You can make the argument that the truth is not represented in the work, and since you don't take into account what anyone outside the work says, there is no answer.
So what exactly is the reality? Reality isn't well enough represented in Evangelion. That's why the "Death of the Author" makes sense to not invoke when necessary, but to always use. If Evangelion does not say one or the other for one particular subject, then the answer is just that: "It's neither". Then comes interpretation on what it "could" mean.
Then, there's even how Evangelion can be wrong. Any work can be wrong. It can show something that is incorrect as well as incorrect. Something that doesn't add up or make logical sense, even within it's own universe. An idea it presents can be wrong or too limited to work in the universe.
Even the truth it presents can be wrong, it's just fiction and it's no better than the one who wrote it, and as we all know, people can be wrong.
>The only time when ppl invoke it is when something didn't do what they wanted it to do,Not really, if something is as unclear as Evangelion, it's easily used to give backing to whatever arbitrary argument there is to make.
