Thirteen years later

I went to the cinema today to watch "Broken" for the second time. Originally, I planned not to read it three times without writing, but I couldn't help it... On the day of the

premiere on the 27th, I didn't go to work because I didn't make it. When I came back, I read the spoiler on the Internet first, and basically I had an idea. On the 29th, I went to watch it myself, and today I took my friend to watch it for the second time. I plan to find a colleague to watch it for the third time next week.
Watching EVA for ten years, I seem to have formed something stubborn in my heart, like an obsessive-compulsive disorder. Although I haven't been in EVA forums for many years, I haven't translated EVA, and I haven't written EVA comments, but some things are so deeply rooted that they cannot be changed. After all, in the years when the world view was formed, it was EVA who was always with me.
The sensationalism ends here, let's get to the point below.

————————I am the dividing line of the positive color————

The part where the plot changed is almost the same as other spoilers. I saw a very detailed spoiler in the post bar a few days ago, and there are almost no pictures. Missing something. Is there any gap between the journals... TT... Although I read it twice, I can't say that I can remember everything, so I just picked a few points and wrote it.

About the new role Mary

Eligible Number unknown, affiliated with the European Union. Asuka and No. 2 are also affiliated with the European Union. This was mentioned later when the second machine was sealed.
Mary's existence is apparently still a secret from NERV headquarters. We do not rule out that NERV has information on the pilot of No. 5 aircraft, but Mary first entered Japan illegally (airborne! NERV's radar is off), and she was also when the 10th Apostle (that is, the original 14th Apostle Angel) attacked. Illegal activation of the second unit in the seal, cutting off all contact with the NERV headquarters, is an unauthorized act. Although Shinji had met her twice, it was clear that he hadn't figured out who she was. And the situation that directly triggered the third shock after the EVA01 car dropped the power angel obviously made the NERV headquarters have no time to consider who used the second machine.
In other words, it is still unknown what role the new character Mary will play in the new EVA.
In addition, it can be seen from the dialogue of the blessing of Yuandu Dongyue later that the death of the third apostle (the newly set apostle) and the fifth machine is obviously a predetermined plot according to the script of Commander Ikari. The same goes for the evaporation of the second branch and the fourth unit.
In addition, the third apostle did not attack the NERV headquarters and went to the EU branch, the purpose should be for the "XXXX key" (didn't write it down). Here I can't help but wonder, according to the number of the apostles, the third apostle should appear before the fourth apostle. But obviously the fourth and fifth in the play appeared first, why didn't they go to the EU branch? And if it's not numbered sequentially, does that mean they actually know what the apostles are like? Is this a bug or tricky? (Or did the audience think too much?)

About Asuka

Asuka appeared in the seventh apostle (formerly the ninth apostle Rain Angel) struck. At that time, Misato was picking up Shinji to return from the cemetery. The rain angel with a beautiful and gothic appearance was running on the sea, and every step made a snowflake... Then the No. 2 aircraft was airborne, a crossbow for weapons! The battle was gorgeous, the BGM was still the same EVA02, and I was excited when I heard it... Then in the end, the second machine kicked Miri's car and hit the foot of the zero machine, which was very happy.
Although some people say that "Broken" is the victory of AYANAMIST and the tears of the servants, but in fact it is not so tragic. It's just that the ambiguous relationship between the three people in the original work shows a clear trend of "Asuka——" Shinji "——" Ayanami", and the school life scenes that were originally not many have also been greatly increased.
Asuka's "I alone is enough" thought is more obvious and strong in "Broken". This is the first time I have seen a withdrawn character who is reluctant to participate in group activities - especially, it is an event with blessing invitations. Asuka's feelings for Kaji have disappeared in "Broken", and there is no evidence that they know each other. From a certain point of view, I think the new character Marie has grabbed a lot of Asuka's role in character and plot, because at the beginning, Kaji and Marie knew each other.
The battle of the Eighth Apostle (formerly the Tenth Apostle Sky Angel) made Asuka realize that she could do nothing by herself. A co-sleeping incident occurred. Afterwards, Asuka's personality changed a bit, and she felt that "it's actually pretty good to be with everyone". It's just that this sentence was said before the No. 3 machine started the test.
Ayanami and Asuka's new • classic elevator dialogue may be an opportunity to change Asuka. Ayanami didn't hesitate to block Asuka's slap attack this time, and taught her "you have the happiness of not driving an EVA". Looking at Ayanami's hands full of Band-Aids, Asuka looked down at the only two Band-Aids on her left hand. Perhaps it was at that moment that she decided to replace Ayanami with the third unit.
There is no need to elaborate on the jokes of the No. 3 machine, the same bloody and cruel. It's just that the BGM was replaced with a very pure and lyrical nursery rhyme. In the repeated "Goodbye! Goodbye!" singing, the cruel picture and the melodious tune form a huge contrast, which is heartbreaking.
But no matter what, Asuka is not dead, just quarantined. The blindfolds in the notice are not bandages like before, but... pirate-style black blindfolds...||||||
In addition, Asuka's name for Ayanami changed from "superior student" to "environmentalist", because Ayanami Not to eat meat, Asuka taught her to "respect the lives that are made into food" (forgot the original words, that's what it means).

The character with the biggest change in Ayanami

's character (?). AYANAMIST said: The goddess smiles, is it still called a goddess?
In "Broken", Ayanami's key word became "thank you". Said it once to Shinji, once to Asuka, and once to Mary.
Although the setting of the android has not changed, at least in "Broken", the one-eye and three-eyes have not been explained. In the end, it was hinted that there are spares, but Shinji's blood change obviously made the three eyes have no chance to play.
The transformation of Ayanami for Shinji in "Broken" is also more obvious than on TV. Perhaps it should be said that the two eyes of Ayanami in the TV version are still swaying between Shinji and Yuandu, and the new version is much clearer. Shinji's attitude towards goddesses is also obviously better than Asuka...
PS: Ayanami actually wore a black collar when she was in LCL...
PSPS: The high-end restaurant in NERV is huge...

About Shinji

Generally speaking, it is in line with the image of the TV version. But at the end, "Give Ayanami back to me! No matter what I become, how the world becomes, only Ayanami... Only Ayanami, I must save her!" It really shocked me at the time... such a hot-blooded brat... ...
and also Shinji's walkman that always switches between 25 and 26 finally shows 27...it's broken. Shinji also mentioned the origin of this outdated contraption - it turned out to be something Dad used to use. This Electra complex... It 's a little bit explicit

about other people

's feelings about Kaji and Miri. Misato looked at Kaji blushing... It was really... (smashing the ground)
Kaji also clearly said to Shinji, "Please protect Misato for me. This is something I can't do, only you can do it..."
Three The role of idlers is much less. In the daily scenes, only Maia goes to work and waits for the tram and walks on the road. Dongmu was almost deleted, and there were not many Toji and Aida. But Toji's younger sister makes a gorgeous appearance!
The depiction of the third new Tokyo city is a lot more detailed. In the morning, the sun rises, and the seven sun panels with adjustable angle rotate along with it. The roadside, the station, the overpass... But I still like the original BGM of the third new Tokyo city...

About Mark 06 and various The conspiracy

lunar base and Mark06 became the biggest mystery in "Broken".
When the air angels attacked on TV, the two commanders were in the South Pole, and they didn't know what to investigate. This time, it became a lunar base.
The existence of the lunar base is a testament to space technology in 2015. It can be seen from the many unidentified dialogues in the film that the Mark06 on the lunar surface is a "true god", not a "false god", made by a method different from other EVAs. It is "real EVA".
According to WIKI, Mark06 is the sixth machine, and the driver is Nagisa Kaoru. Judging from the fact that Nagisa Kaoru can run around in a vacuum without wearing a space suit, he really isn't human. But who does he mean by "father"?
There is also the long spear that appears in the film and at the end, which is not the usual form of the Longinus spear. What is this long gun?
But at least it can be seen that Yuandu deliberately killed Unit 4 and Unit 5 for his own script. Although this is within the correctable range, SEELE is still annoying. Yuandu asked SEELE to approve the funds to repair the zero machine, and SEELE said that the money should be spent on a higher priority. It can be seen that the No. 0 machine in Yuandu's script is indispensable. In the battle of the force apostles, Shinji pulled out the Ayanami as big as the EVA from the force apostle that ate the zero machine and its pilot. The two began to merge, and the third impact began. Yuandu said: This is far from our The script is still one step away...

At the end of "Broken", a total of 10 apostles appeared, and it seems that the setting is 12. The third shock also erupted and was interrupted. Who is the last two apostles besides Nagisa Kaoru? What is Mary's real identity and role? Mark06's secret? Nagisa Kaoru's relationship with everyone? The dramatic redesign of "Broken" makes the plot of the new EVA become confusing and unpredictable. After "Preface", people who thought the new theater was just another high-definition money-swindling scheme would really drop their jaws. Compared with the TV version that ended in the third shock and the theatrical version that failed to shock, how the next two new theatrical versions will develop is completely beyond the audience's predictable range.
I suddenly remembered that among the many EVA colleagues, it was also the addition of new characters, the change of the character of the existing characters, and the change of the ending. Perhaps, Anno just created a doujin for EVA in 1995. The only difference is that he has the strength to put this fanboy on the big screen, and he will not be accused of copyright infringement.

The theme song

is still Utada's "Beautiful World".
After listening to this song after watching Shinji and Ayanami's hug, I suddenly felt that the lyrics were very appropriate. "If only one wish can come true, please let me sleep beside you, no matter where you are."
EVA began to move towards romance.

In the end, about Zhu

Xun shouting as the second-generation captain of the Zhu Xun Guards:
Zhu Xun is the most handsome! Nagisa is the most handsome! Nagisa is the most handsome!
The above truth will never change!

OK, disband.
