[QUOTE="ayase, post: 538339, member: 183"] While they’re certainly [I]alternate[/I] I’m not sure I like the word “replace”, personally. They’re a more straightforward and traditional way of portraying events [INLINESPOILER]and with a different ending[/INLINESPOILER] but Eva isn’t a straightforward story by any means. I’m inclined to view it (all of it, TV, movies and the rebuilds) as much more Anno’s exploration of his own psychological state than as a traditional narrative (and by extension, the psychological state of his once fellow otaku he was devoloping a (self) loathing for - Gainax was essentially the first major studio by and for otaku and for good or ill, laid the groundwork for a great deal of what the anime industry became). There’s a [I]lot[/I] more I’d need to get into to explain my position properly and I’d be happy to outline my universal theory of Evangelion when I’m back at a keyboard - Maybe it is time for another discussion on this? I know there are a few people passionate about the show here again these days, and I’d be interested to hear yours and others’ thoughts and theories Neil. Probably a good idea to start a new thread for it though. [/QUOTE]
