Neon Genesis Evangelion/WMG: Difference between revisions

== ''[[Wicked (novel)|Son of a Witch]]'' takes place in Instrumentality ==

(note: horrifically superficial)

* Galinda = (?)

* Fiyero = Gendo (by default)

 

== After Instrumentality, Pen-Pen becomes a ''god'' after feeding upon LCL and fighting the last two living Humans to the death. ==

 

== Gendo abandoned Shinji as a [[Take That]] to Yui choosing to be adsorbed into Eva 01 ==

 

== Third Impact was an attempt by God to get rid of the Human race and replace them with his true chosen race ==

* And Pen Pen is their Messiah.

* This is actually canon explanation for Second Impact. Third Impact, on the other hand, was just a clusterfuck.

* Shinji and Asuka's attitudes are flipped compared to other idealistic anime. Sexual anxiety, an [[Unwanted Harem]] and lack of maternal attention are actually psychologically ''bad'' for you, as Shinji has shown and contrary to most other harem anime out there. [[Inferiority Superiority Complex|And if you force an Inferiority Complex down on a woman's throat, as patriarchal regimes had tried in the past, you may just end up with someone that has a really angry Superiority Complex, as Asuka has shown]].

* An Eva's armor, which constrains her body like a corset/bondage gear and makes her dependent on an external power source, symbolizes societally imposed restrictions on women. When Eva goes into berserker mode, freeing her from the restraint technology and strengthening her Ego Barrier (Absolute Terror Field), especially in times when she needs to protect herself and her child, you see woman's true, natural, powerful form, which from a misogynistic perspective is a disgusting, absolutely terrifying [[Eldritch Abomination]].

* As some fans have already proposed, Rei-Lilith is a manifestation of the [http://wiki.evageeks.org/The_Geektionary_N-S#Shekinah divine feminine].

* The Ikaris can also represent patriarchal rule. Gendo is the archetypal Patriarch. Yui and Shinji are the underlying weaknesses of this Patriarch's seemingly absolute totalitarian rule, with Yui being the dependence onto the opposite sex to maintain the basis for the Patriarch's power and Shinji as the agitating instability and [[Oedipus Complex|Oedipal rage]] that is waiting to collapse the entire power structure anytime (Gendo has Yui as his messiah and only reason to live which is why he does all this screwing-with-the-order-of-creation in the first place, and in ''End of Evangelion'' he even admits that he's afraid of his own son, making his true self behind his magnificent facade something very ''pathetic''). Not to mention that in many real life ancient empires that seem to be strictly Patriarchal from the outside, women usually assumed the role of [[The Man Behind the Man]].

Massive, otherworldly monsters inextricably linked to the human psyche, with forms and abilities in blatant defiance of physics, are at best mildly inconvenienced by standard weaponry, can only be truly damaged or defeated by weapons of a similar nature to them, inspire fear and foreboding by their very presence and seek to destroy everything. The AT-Fields represent either their daemonic nature, shielding them from anything not of the Immaterium, or as the link allowing them to exist in the Materium, which when breached allows them to be "killed". What is referred to as Adam and Lilith are merely the remains of two Greater Daemons from before human civilisation and the storyline is the result of humans attempting to use their powers, which obviously goes balls up for everyone involved (as is the nature of Chaos).

 

* Interestingly, some people have suggested that the angels (as in, the Living Saints) are actually warp entities (aka daemons) that serve the God Emperor (aka Jesus) and possess his "chosen ones". So, maybe the other angels are just actual "angels" gone horribly wrong?

 

* Or the Instrumentality was a situation very similar to that of [[The Matrix]]. Humanity was forced to live on an interactive world they can actually warp, while being oblivious to the fact that they live in a [[Crapsack World]]. Shinji, for rejecting Instrumentality, has a status of a Red Pill.

* Maybe the Instrumentality was actually a situation where humans were given a chance to be Anonymous. Remember that the AT field is actually the definition of a person's identity. If that is the case, then dissolving the AT Field will mean stripping off everybody's name and labeling it "Anonymous", causing humanity to become Legion, united as one, divided by zero.

*** Keel Lorenz is {{spoiler|future moot}} then, after being corrupted by /b/. This leads to an alternate timeline where [[Memetic Mutation|TEH REI]] was a more lasting meme than she was in our world, leading to {{spoiler|moot}} turning into a [[Misaimed Fandom|misaimed fan]] of SEELE's goals after becoming like Anonymous and then watching Evangelion, followed by the events of Evangelion happeneing due to Anonymous interference and then sending back records as the Evangelion we know, creating a [[Stable Time Loop]] when Rei becomes a meme.

**** Adding to that, Project Chanology and its aftermath introduced {{spoiler|moot}} to Scientology, which inspired him to cause the outlawing of psychology post-Second Impact through his [[Ancient Conspiracy]] world control, allowing all of humanity to go mad enough that they might accept this crazy Instrumentality thing. This backfired when one of the most disturbed people on Earth (who was purposefully broken as part of the grand master plan!) was given control of the process, and he turned out to be analogous to [[So Bad It's Good]]: Shinji turned out so crazy by the end that he had a moment of powerful sanity, and in that very moment he rejected Instrumentality. {{spoiler|Future moot's}} plan to break Shinji into a justifiably emo warrior with an occasional berserker rage [[Gone Horribly Right|turned out too successful]], to the ruin of the plan, all because a bunch of Internet users protested Scientology.

* [[FLCL]]: The events preceeding second impact or the Anti Spiral Invasion (Hard to tell which of the two it is).

* [[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]: The remnants of Neo Atlan reemerge as Seele. Several descendants of the Nadia cast reappear and are dragged into the plot. Yui (Shingi's mother) is the descendant of Jean and Nadia while Asuka's mother, of Marie and Sanson; Fuyutsuki, is somehow linked to Lord Gargoyle, as is Akagi to Electra. Third Impact occurs, and everyone turns into orange juice. Shingi's involvement foils Seele's plans and they loose control of their 'new world'

* ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'': The Anti Spiral becomes avare of Sasshi's multiple recreations of the universe and declares war on it and wins. Naota (or his reincarnation - depending on where you place FLCL) becomes Lordgenome, and seals humanity beneath the surface. Sanson, reborn as Kamina initiates the uprising against Lordgenome and the surface is retaken, leading to the final confrontation with the Anti Spiral.

This is of course far from being a perfect chain, so feel free to adjust and expand on it.

Sachiel, Angel, has been struck down. }}
