* PoorCommunicationKills: [[spoiler: Done by Misato (and perhaps, Wille as a whole) in 3.0, when Eva 09 comes; instead of telling Shinji why he mustn't go with Rei Q, Misato simply points at him with the remote control of his collar, tells him that Rei is gone without explaining him who the pilot of Eva 09 is, and tells him instead that they are an organization that wants to overthrow Nerv, all of this while leaving behind the most important details such as why they oppose them or Nerv's goal.]] 
** [[spoiler:Long story short, ''every single thing that went wrong'' in 3.0 could've been averted if anyone would've taken five seconds to tell Shinji what the ''fuck'' was going on.]]. Maybe, [[spoiler: unless they had proof that Rei was one of many clones and showed him the results of Third Impact, it's likely he would have still refused to believe them early on in the movie, and even then there was a chance of him not accepting the truth. The rest definitely could have been avoided though.]]

* [[spoiler: SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids / SillyRabbitCynicismIsForLosers]]: The two are present in ''3.0'', the first [[spoiler: is shown in the [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt consequences]] from Shinji's actions in ''2.0'' and to a lesser extent in the climax of ''3.0'' in which Shinji's desperation makes him trigger Fourth Impact]]; the latter, on the other hand, appears [[spoiler: at the first half and near end of ''3.0'': in the former, Misato's (and perhaps WILLE in general) bitterness and distrust towards Shinji is what makes him go with Rei Q when she comes for him; and at the end, Asuka's lack of will to talk or reason with Shinji is what pushes him to his break point and eventual retrieval of the lances.]]
* SlidingScaleOfIdealismVsCynicism: While ''1.0'' is a little less cynical in general, ''2.0'' starts out more idealistic (distant fathers '''wanting''' to change for their sons, jerks reaching out and opening their hearts, and diffident boys growing into genuinely brave men), then goes back into cynical with the arrival of EVA-03 [[spoiler:with Asuka replacing Toji]] and culminating with [[spoiler:Shinji giving up on reality and starting Third Impact just to save Rei]]. ''3.0'' is [[spoiler:firmly cynical.]] It remains to be seen where the scale will go in ''Final''.
