Death seems like the sweet choice. If you gain eternal and infinite power, you cannot tolerate a small and broken body, then it will inevitably tear the body and go to destruction or rebirth. But rebirth is impossible, the power can only float in the universe, and the parasitic body cannot be found. Flesh and blood are but vessels of bondage, and you are condemned to austerity in this world, and you want to escape.
What would humans do if they became gods?
The explanation given by Otomo Keyang is: there is no if. Humans will perish before they become gods.
Like the universe, it exploded and unified.
Human beings have divinity and animal nature. Divinity helps all living beings and sacrifices themselves for human beings; animal nature is greedy and unrestrained and expands infinitely. When man is releasing the shackles of matter and deconstructing his personality, so as to integrate into the universal "man", an abstract entity with a broad meaning, what will be left of man? Divine or Bestial? Otomo Keyang is undoubtedly pessimistic, because he chose the bestiality. The three horrific-faced children were undoubtedly the failed products of the experiment. Their animal nature is not enough to make them perish, but only to age them, to make them grow and age rapidly, but in the end they can't break free from the human skin, so they can't meet the sweet death. But they have also strayed from their own personalities, occasionally giving oracle-like exhortations. But Tie Xiong is different, he has absolute power, and he longs for, or rather, tends to explode and destroy.
"Aguilar" did give the "EVA" series a great influence, including the setting, atmosphere and narrative. At the core of their thinking, they are also the same. "EVA" pity people's weakness, inferiority and cowardice, pity people's estrangement, misunderstanding and hatred. It endows the "Human Completion Plan" with extremely high value, eliminates the estrangement between people, and enables human beings to communicate with each other and become unprecedentedly powerful, so as to approach and even become gods. But it also doubts the necessity of becoming a god. Do people necessarily need to annihilate themselves and integrate into human beings?
As explained by a great god: when facing "happy dreams" and "cruel reality", one can not be fooled by false and happy dreams, face up to the cruelty and pain of reality, and transcend this pain, and finally be brave Accept reality, acknowledge reality, and adapt to reality. The reality is not as cruel and ruthless as imagined, it also has "hope" in it.
"It doesn't matter anymore, all life has the power to recover, and the power to live, whether it is real or fantasy, if it is real, it is false. And the truth is in our hearts, the shape of a person is created by the heart, If everyone can imagine their own image, everyone can return to human form."
Because there is hope. The apostles had life but no hope, and death was liberation. But there is hope for humanity, because humanity has a future, for better or worse.
The ending of "Aguila" is very intriguing: Tie Xiong turned into the light, and his name echoed in the space; while Jin Tian and A Ting survived, Jin Tian and his friends embraced joyfully, as if they still exist in this dilapidated dilapidated the world rejoices. Tie Xiong is eternal, has no form, no emotion, no meaning, but Jin Tian is smiling, which makes me think of Li's smile, which is the proof of human existence and is beautiful.
The world of "Aguilar" is full of ugliness, suspicion, hatred, greed and hypocrisy. These are the weaknesses of human nature, and the weakness of human nature balances the aggressiveness of human nature, allowing the human world to survive. Ultimately, we may still need to accept this dark world, because there is still beauty, hope and value. If everything is annihilated, there will be no beauty, and everything will become meaningless.
