Post on this post with the name: "[Original + Spoiler] Understanding and personal conjecture after watching Q: The source of M13 and the connection with EOE"
This article has been supported and corrected by many eva friends. Thank you very much here !
In the article, I mistakenly wrote Eva No. 13, No. 2, and No. 8 as mark13, mark2, and mark8, and Asuka's eye should be the right eye, which misled many people. This is caused by my laziness and lack of consideration. . Sorry again; I'll be more cautious in the future.
This time I open a new post, instead of analyzing the plot settings and plot speculation, I will focus on analyzing the "ideas" that the plot wants to express. Welcome to exchange ideas with you again~~~^0^. Therefore, the following text begins:
I think rationally, in fact, Q is not a sad work. Personally, I think that he is actually more positive than the old drama.
First of all, let’s talk about the feelings and attitudes conveyed by the old drama (TV+EOE) that I personally understand: “The power of human beings” is powerless and controlled, so in the end, all must obey God’s arrangements (even a black-bellied and thoughtful old Ding, eventually They have all been betrayed by the goddess, and people cannot control God at all). The human mind, the relationship between people, will only lead people to destruction. In this regard, we can think about the ending of everyone in the old theater, and we can find that every human character in it is incomplete, and the ending is sad; however, those who are pure, beautiful, and sincerely dedicate themselves to others, But they were all deified and idealized characters—that is, Kaoru and Ayanami. In reality, it is impossible for these two gods to exist, but the old theater seems to convey to the audience that "only Kaoru and Lingbo have the hope of making the world beautiful and are worthy of living on earth. Their death , is not worth it; on the contrary, people live on this earth, there is only endless pain. Therefore, for human beings, it is the best way to survive from death to human beings."
In the new theatrical version, it appears from the beginning of the break. Clue: Human power, both physical and spiritual, begins to rise.
Begin writing with shinji bravely fighting against the 8th apostle and saving Ayanami: the future of the earth and humanity, which hopes to be shouldered by humans instead.
When it comes to Q, this is even more obvious. Misato and Akagi are not only responsible for eliminating the apostles and taking care of the pilots, but also the fate of the last remaining human beings on earth. Asuka is also mature and atmospheric, and human beings rely on wisdom. And united to successfully kill the gods and so on. Compared to the strength of human beings, Kaoru and Ayanami seem powerless and even have a thin sense of existence here. This time, the representative of God has become an accessory.
When I think about it, I realize that Q is really a good work!
The reason why people feel sad for him is because Kaoru died, such a beautiful person, pure, gentle, totally considerate of friends, brave, handsome, and ended up dying so tragically. And Li, became a robot doll again, this time a real doll like never before, only obeying orders, no ego. I think the screenwriter set the plot like this to remind the audience that Kaoru and Rei, the most ideal beings, are nothingness, and their forms cannot exist in reality, so people cannot escape in their daily life. Actually, then put your feelings on such an existence, otherwise you will be like Shinji in the new drama, escaping and detaching from reality, thinking and doing things like a child, desperately trying to get people's approval, emotional, reckless, acting like a spoiled child, If you don't look at the problem rationally from the reality, the result will be sadness and failure in the end.
As for anger or "speechless", I know it's because there are too many things in Q that can't be explained clearly with the current plot. This feeling that everything is unknown, of course, is bad! ! Ha ha!
Therefore, the positive energy of Q is covered up by the negative emotions of human beings such as "sadness, anger, speechlessness, confusion" and so on at the beginning. By the way, after I watched the gun version in December last year, I was depressed for a long time, and I cursed for a long time in my heart, "What kind of trouble is this ruffian! What's the point of selling it! Is it interesting! I don't want to explain it clearly, right?!" !! Deliberately let Shinji commit the second and destroy it!!!!" Now that I think about it, I feel ashamed. It's all just a superficial look, it's superficial.
Thinking about it carefully, the positive aspects of Q are actually far greater than the sadness, and these are really good: as I just said, the power of the rise of mankind and the strong mind full of hope, the key is that these are in It can also be found in reality, not the idealization like Ayanami and Kaoru. The screenwriter must rely on Q to remind the audience that whether it is watching movies or life, they must focus more on those real things, both "human nature" and "human ability", they are very powerful, even Being able to be on par with God, and even more extreme—changed the fate of God (that is, Q Zhongxun changed from the first apostle to be the thirteenth apostle).
Therefore, I believe that Q is definitely a turning point in the road of light, and the fourth part will definitely be a happy ending.
In addition, I would like to speculate why Misato is so different from Po in Q. Personally, I think it is because of different responsibilities. She is only the commander and the driver's guardian in Pori. Her mission is to eliminate the apostles and take good care of the driver. She doesn't have to take on too many responsibilities, so at the end of Pori, it is understandable that she encouraged Shinji to save Ayanami. It was at that time. Her identity made it unnecessary for her to take care of the overall situation, and her personal feelings played a major role; but in Q, she had become the captain, and the fate of the entire team and even the entire human race was handed over to this woman. There are many, so the factor of Shinji's personal feelings must be thrown out at this moment. For the operation of the entire fleet, she can only let reason dictate her actions. Therefore, Shinji can only be a person who is confined and restricted in freedom (the actual confinement is to protect him, as long as Shinji stays honest If Wunder does not drive EVA, I believe that Misato will never kill him. This can be inferred from the plot of Shinji being taken away by Ayanami. He knew that he would cause four rushes, but he still failed to press DSS ruthlessly) .
Therefore, Misato is not cold, nor does she hate Shinji, but because of her responsibility, she has to hide her inner feelings!
