The TV version is basically from Shinji's point of view, especially the psychological changes, which have a special sense of substitution. I think the part of the classmates that was deleted from the theatrical version is actually very meaningful. But the plot and battle scenes are a little weaker. I was basically confused halfway through the reading. This should better represent the state of the protagonist. The protagonist also has a little understanding of what happened, but the adults pushed him to this position and let him I only know that defeating the apostle is not clear about what an apostle is and why it means defeating an apostle. The whole TV version creates a sense of alienation.
Although the plot of the theatrical version has not changed much, the narrative angle is more friendly, and some logical problems are also supplemented. For example, I originally thought that the entire nerv seemed to be just a few people from their headquarters, and the addition of more logistics personnel in the theater version was even more tragic. There is also nerv's surveillance of the protagonist, and Misato and Ritsuko's discussion of the protagonist's psychological state, which is more in line with the care of such an important role as the protagonist in reality. The battle plan is also explained in more detail. I basically didn't understand the tv version. The picture is better, the quality of the picture has been improved, the depiction of the first machine, the city and the blue angel is very good, and the battle scene is more cool.
But under such a grand narrative, it is more difficult to empathize with the protagonist. It feels that everyone is fighting to save mankind, and they are very concerned about the protagonist. It also lets him know the meaning of defeating the apostles and the existence of Lilith. The protagonist falls at a critical moment. The chain is bound to be a little disappointing.
