Thre's just one thing that bugs me with this movie.

Spoiler

The way everyone reacts to Shinji deciding to get back into Unit 01 when the Final Impact is already underway and the world is already ending. Like at that point what could he possibly do at all to make the situation any worse? End the world harder than is happening already?

Meanwhile nobody seems to mind Mari over there also blatantly and intentionally turning Unit 08 into the exact same waling apocalypse.

Unit 02 awakened in the prior fight but Asuka had her DSS choker on to prevent it from going further, Mari likely has hers on as well, but didn’t do anything “Awakening”-like. An awakening probably needed a mixture of Angel and Eva to trigger as was the case with both Asuka and Shinji. The crew already had reason to hate him for the N3I, they didn’t know what else he could do with Unit 01 considering how much of an outlier it already was.

And then there’s the simple fact that they simply weren’t acting rationally.

Spoiler

Their hatred of him was also always pretty irrational and petty if you ask me.
Being mad about the 4th Impact I can totally get but N3i the kid had zero clue what he was actually doing. He was basically set up with an apocalyptic time bomb and not a clue what it was and is now being treated like the Unibomber. How and why would Misato and Ritsuko not make this known to Wille?
I'm damn near about to burst into a whole rant about 3.33 so I'll stop there.

The WILLE crew was aware though; when Midori showed anger at Shinji being allowed back on board, Hyuga mentions that the N3I was an unintended consequence and Sumire mentions that Shinji is still just a child and why Misato was hesitant to use the DSS choker (along with Misato's own attachment of Shinji). Midori was the one really angry about everything that happened and the rest of the WILLE crew really calm down after their initial introduction of Shinji post 4th Impact.

My two copies of 3.0+1.11 came in finally. Unlike the previous three films, Shin Eva had different exclusives depending on which online store you ordered from. Because I was a sucker for two different exclusives, I ordered both of them since CDJapan acted as a proxy-service for getting them since they don't normally ship outside Japan.

Evastore version:
- Movie BD/4k-UHD 3 disc set
- Avant 1/2/A-Part script with notes by Anno himself
- Postcard set featuring primary characters (Shinji w/ Misato, Kaworu, Mari, Rei, & Asuka)

Kinkurido version:
- Movie BD/4k-UHD 3 disc set
- Rei Ayanami acrylic art stand
- 3.0+1.0 OST (movie edited version, not the fully arranged collection released a few years ago)

Spoiler

As for the 10 minute short:

Spoiler

IT WAS FUCKING NOTHING.

Flashback dedicated to Midori and how she got her pink hair (a Failure of Infinity bled some weird acid goo on her head) with a short haired blindfolded Asuka fighting said Failure with a Frankenstein Unit 02. There were very short cuts of the planet getting fucking tanged and Third Impact going all out (and a Failure of Infinity coming out of the ground with an Eva 01 head falling off confirming Unit 01 is more involved with Third Impact) but it only lasts for a about a minute or two.

Complete nothing-burger....
