Will someone just lie to him and say she's not in there so he can fight?

 

[ethanny2]

"CONFIRMED: IT'S BLUE"

Well that's real helpful.

Lol your tax dollars at work

 

[Zonic]

Hmmmmm, as great as the fight it, I don't know, I feel like the fact Shinji & the audience didn't know who it was until afterwards in the original series left a greater impact compared to this one.

 

[Schadenfreude]

LOL Fuck. I remember this scene from last year. Fucking brutal.

 

[lazybones18]

At least you have a moral code, Shinji >_>

 

[SliceSabre]

This fucking song.

 

[daveo42]

Hmmmmm, as great as the fight it, I don't know, I feel like the fact Shinji & the audience didn't know who it was until afterwards in the original series left a greater impact compared to this one.

Yup. The impact from that scene and who it ends up being is one of the superior arcs in the anime.

 

[Zonic]

Hahaha, & then this music plays as the stuff that's happening.

.........though someone remind me, did we get subtitles for the music last time?

 

[B-Dubs]

Are they serious with this fucking song?

 

[Crayolan]

RIP Asuka.

This is fucked up.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Unit 01 seems kinda hungry.

 

[Takashi]

I always love when the music and what's onscreen juxtapose like this.

 

[Zonic]

So....this song & this scene or the song selection used for that one scene in End of Eva where everything's TUMBLING DOWN?

 

[ramoisdead]

Dad don't give a fuck that a bloodbath is going on.

 

[JB2448]

Hahaha, & then this music plays as the stuff that's happening.

.........though someone remind me, did we get subtitles for the music last time?

No, the Adult Swim airings haven't had subtitles for the song.

 

[B-Dubs]

Shit was dead long before this point, why keep it going so long?

 

[That Dude John]

gat dam

i think i forgot about that part, jesus

 

[lazybones18]

Look on the bright side, Asuka. At least you weren't mind fucked this time >____________>

 

[B.K.]

Remember the gibberish when they Dummy Plug System was activated? It wasn't gibberish.

 

[Line_HTX]

The fuck is with that music? I hope she didn't die.

 

[J@hranimo]

Well that's that.

I do like it better in the original though.

 

[daveo42]

Shit was dead long before this point, why keep it going so long?

Dummy plug is basically berserk mode and doesn't stop till the Angel is dead. Source of the the blue signal was the plug.

 

[SliceSabre]

Look on the bright side, Asuka. At least you weren't mind fucked this time >____________>

I'll take that over having the sensation of literally being ripped, disemboweled and eaten.

 

[Zonic]

Remember the gibberish when they Dummy Plug System was activated? It wasn't gibberish.

Oh man, I think that was posted last time & we were all amazed.

 

[daveo42]

Remember the gibberish when they Dummy Plug System was activated? It wasn't gibberish.

This is the first time I've heard of this. That's kinda crazy.

 

[lazybones18]

phew, Misato is okay

 

[That Dude John]

Remember the gibberish when they Dummy Plug System was activated? It wasn't gibberish.

 

[lazybones18]

fuck you NERV. Destroy it all Shinji

 

[Schadenfreude]

Gendo has no time for your shenanigans.

 

[daveo42]

All according to plan.

 

[Zonic]

Don't know why, but I really liked this scene in both versions, like Shinji finally snaps & grows a pair to stand up to his father. Yeah, he still kind of acts like a child, but at least he's starting to grow a backbone.

 

[lazybones18]

Gendo has no time for your shenanigans.

He cannot sanction his buffonery

 

[Jafku]

I find that scene hilarious for some reason

 

[Future Foundation]

Remember the gibberish when they Dummy Plug System was activated? It wasn't gibberish.

Never going to sleep ever.

Oh, and Gendo Ikari's a bitch. Straight up bitch.

 

[Zonic]

THE CRUEL WORLD'S THESIS!

.......wait, crap, that's not the OP theme.....

 

[SliceSabre]

Don't know why, but I really liked this scene in both versions, like Shinji finally snaps & grows a pair to stand up to his father. Yeah, he still kind of acts like a child, but at least he's starting to grow a backbone.

True but as Gendo said Shinji just looks like a child throwing a tantrum.

 

[JB2448]

I find that scene hilarious for some reason

"I've got control of the circuits!" *passes out*

 

[zedreamcast]

I dont remember this scene being as direct in the original anime...

 

[lazybones18]

More deep thoughts. Dammit Shinji, stop letting Rei into your deep thoughts

 

[Future Foundation]

I find that scene hilarious for some reason

"I HAVE CONTROL OF THE CIRCUITS."
*lcl pressure increases*

 

[Zonic]

True but as Gendo said Shinji just looks like a child throwing a tantrum.

Yeah, the way he states it is perfect. Guess I just liked the idea of Shinji just finally getting tired of taking his dad's crap & trying to destroy NERV with the Eva.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Shinji getting fired.

 

[Jafku]

"I've got control of the circuits!" *passes out*

"I HAVE CONTROL OF THE CIRCUITS."
*lcl pressure increases*

Exactly. Then Unit 01 just falls like a drunkard

 

[daveo42]

The other reason why there's less impact over the original. Pilot of 003 survives.

 

[zedreamcast]

Im guessing they just had to shoe horn a reason for shinji to have a walkman in the 2010s huh?
Ive been playing xenogears all night and just came in.
And wow theyre just saying their character motivations.

 

[B.K.]

The other reason why there's less impact over the original. Pilot of 003 survives.

Spoiler

Toji survived in the anime, but he lost a leg. The manga is the only thing where he dies.

 

[Man God]

Ice Cold.

 

[lazybones18]

don't walk away from Misato like that </3

 

[Zonic]

The other reason why there's less impact over the original. Pilot of 003 survives.

Oh snap, I forgot about that in the TV series. Yeah, original had a much bigger [2nd] impact on the viewer compared to the movie.

Edit: *Sees B.K's post* Oh, well, I still stand by the fact original handled the scene better.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Shinji didn't do much laughing anyways. Oh my.
