1. Epsiodes 1-26
2. End of Eva
3. 1.0, 2.0, 3.0

There's like a million Evangelions though. Where do I start?

I'm sure he has more important things to do than post reviews of anime he rates poorly but I really would like to see Verb's full opinion on 3.0/Q seeing how it's not only one of my favorite anime movies but also one of my favorite movies in general.

Plus I gotta plenty of info-bombs I can dump in regards to 3.0.

Miyazaki/Ghibli don’t make those faces though.

Also, watch Eva.

Some things to note:

- As I said earlier, the Next Time Previews are important. here's 2.0's NTP again just for good measure.

YouTube


- Anno has stated that this is an Evangelion series for another generation/more watered down but telling the same story.
- I agree with the pacing issues of 2.0, it was pretty insanely fast, luckily though 3.0 is sloooooooooooowwwwwwwwww.
- The SoL bits in 2.0 are supposed to be reminiscent of episodes like Magma Diver & Dance Like You Want To Win.

Overall, 2.0 into 3.0.

does this post spoil the rebuilds overall or just 2.0 specifically

Just like Halo 5's ad campaign

Eh, I don't think that's a fair comparison. The NTP at the end of 2.0 has some pretty clear clues for what we see in actual 3.0. Furthermore, Anno states in the booklet for 3.33 that what we see was the plan all along. A lot of care was put into these movies, they don't leave room for oversight like that. At the very least we should wait for the 3.0 CRC before making any definite conclusions.

Verb is killing me without even realizing it. What they did to the Mark 06 is criminal.

Remember to pay attention to the next time previews after the credits, they're actually very important.

They're okay. Biggest problem is they feel more like Iron Man movies than Spiderman.

Were any of them any good? I haven't even seen any of the MCU spiderman movies, just the Avenger ones.

I completely agree about the overzealous hate for the prequels. While I prefer the OT personally, I still have fond/decent memories of the prequels simply cause I saw them as a kid and there was a bit of something for every age group whereas the OT kind of had a filter against kids with all the dialogue heavy scenes (A New Hope is notorious for this). However I have to disagree about Empire Strikes Back being boring; or even about arguing about the simplicity of "who shot first?" simply when looking at storytelling from a subtle standpoint.

While it ultimately doesn't really make a difference in the grand scheme of things since we got dialogue from Han before he ran into Greedo, imagine that scene playing out as an introduction to Han (and in a way it still kind of is). If we had to gather as much information about Han as possible just from that one scene alone and we don't know anything about him (and from a story perspective we still know extremely little by that point in time) the implications of him shooting first would add quite a bit. Ultimately though it doesn't really matter since A. We're introduced to him in a conversation with Luke & Ben and B. It happens so fast that you have to frame by frame anyways to see it making it hard to tell if it even really happened. Regardless it doesn't subtract from the story in any significant manner but if Lucas had done that numerous times throughout filming we might have been looking at a much different movie altogether.

It's these little implications and all the manual labor that went into making these stories that makes me love the OT so much. Vader's Super Star Destroyer in Episode V took over two weeks to build and at the time they ran out fiber optic lights for it. They used fiber optics to display activity on the outside of a star ship. While The Millenium Falcon only needed maybe ten or so because it was only ran by two guys (Han and Chewie); a Star Destroyer needed hundreds of lights all over its hull because it was a shipped man by thousands of crew members. So what they had to do for Vader's ship since they ran out was puncture holes into the outside of the ship leading into the hollow inside and put two giant lamps on the side of each half of the ship so it would shine through the holes and looks almost exactly the same (hence why some lights look brighter than others on the ship). This process was in the middle of detailing the outside which took roughly 12-14 hours over a seven day period, and it looks just as good as any ship that appeared in the Prequels. I don't particularly care for the CGI in everything after the OT because not only is it noticeable, it feels kind of lazy and plastic and ultimately fake.

I don't know about their quesadillas but their wings while I still enjoy have gone down in quality over the years.

are the wings and quesadillas still as average as I remember from years back?
