Do you think God stays in heaven because he too lives in fear of what he's created?

Holy fucking shit, episode 21 with Asuka is probably the single greatest episode of the show so far. They redeemed her character in a single episode. I can't believe that Kaji died though, what a rip-off. He was becoming like my favorite character.
🤔 you must mean 22, because asuka wasn't in episode 21 at all
I did mean that but I just watched 23

so pretty much, we found God in Antarctica, we tried to exploit it, it got mad and caused the Second Impact, we made Adam in the form of the God we found, then we made EVAs in the form of Adam? Is Rei an EVA? Why is she being cloned specifically, just so she can be the dummy plug and they'll always have pilots for the EVAs?

Eva shines in terms of character development but don't even try to decipher the plot because it's an unintelligible mess

The movie wraps it up better but it's still pretty garbo
Yeah I realized a while ago that the plot is secondary to the characters in it, and I'm fine with that

The theme is 1000% "loneliness" but okay, even if this anime did make me reflect on my own life - I'm not a meat person I'm a butter person. I want the cool plot twists and plot developments and all that at the end of the day. I do appreciate that these characters are taken seriously, and I think the world and show is better because these feel like real characters. Yes, for sure, but I also want a story that makes sense and keeps me excited for the next development. This story has done that for me consistently, and with the movies and such out there I'd rather not have the story put to the wayside (and it hasn't been as far as I can tell). While having relateable characters makes the story timeless itself, I also want a nice story.

I really just want a clear elaboration on Gendo's motivations (Seele interprets them as him wanting to be a God himself which is an okay explanation) and I want a fuller elaboration on the whole Antarctica/Adam thing, but if I don't get either I won't be too disappointed

Gendo's motivation gets wrapped up pretty well. I don't remember if it's mostly in the movie or the series but it has to do with his wife and it has a satisfying end. As for Antarctica, that was the second impact and it was caused by Adam combining with Lilthe? I don't remember but they basically kept the thing that caused the second impact in the basement of Nerv and Gendo intends to use it for his own purposes

The supplemental material does a good job of explaining everything pretty clearly but as Verb said, that never really mattered anyways. In terms of plot though would you call Gendo/SEELE's conspiracy part of their development though? It's a pretty good juxtaposition against Shinji's character development where we (the audience) and he (Shinji) thinks this is all about him but isn't privy to the massive rails upon rails upon rails upon rails web of conspiracies between all the other side characters (Gendo, SEELE, Fuyutsuki, Kaji, Ritsuko, & Misato) and their constant attempts at trying to circumvent one group only to fall prey to another's master plan.

Eva is certainly character driven but knowing more about the world would have made the movie more entertaining

After everyone died, I didn't really care about the movie anymore
The plot was pretty much lost to me by that point

I legit see no purpose to that surprised blushing emoji. I don't think there's any conversation you can have where another one wouldn't be more relevant.


That’s one of my most used emojis 😳

Also if an artist has a genuine point to make but decides a blank white painting is the best way to do it, they're just a shitty artist

do you label anything artistic that you don't or are unwilling to understand as pretentious
I label art where you to jump through mental hurdles to understand pretentious
that's no good either, because what you've basically said here is that art shouldn't be challenging—which is obviously a very silly and obtuse perspective that i don't think you mean

pretentiousness is when an artist wants you to believe he's created something profound, but doesn't actually have anything profound to say, so he resorts to posturing

but sometimes, an artist may genuinely feel as though there's no better way to express a certain idea than to make something extremely esoteric—it's not pretentious, it's just inarticulate

so if you want to call artists like this out for anything, call them out for being poor communicators (i guess)—or you could just, you know, take the time to understand the purpose of it, because it's probably not that deep anyway

There has to be some attempt from the artist to guide the viewer towards an emotion or idea. It should provoke a reaction out the viewer. With modern art, I look at it and feel nothing or confused. And then I'm told what I should feel or what the meaning is suppose to be. Even if the artist has a profound idea to convey, they still have to convey it in an effective manner.

https://www.vox.com/videos/2017/9/8/16271226/why-all-white-paintings-in-museums

For example these white paintings. The lady says the viewer is suppose to look at it and wuestion the emotions they feel from it. I could do the same with my bedroom wall. What about the art piece itself is special?

I think pretentious artists know there's nothing inherently meaningful about their pieces but then say that's the point or say there's some hidden meaning. Pretentious art is more about obscuring the meaning rather than making meaning.
