History Fridge / RebuildOfEvangelion

** While some of the inland lakes, rivers and streams are presumably full of Angel blood after the series starts, the Oceans could be experiencing an enormous [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_tide Red Tide]] of some sort caused by the dramatic increase in Global temperature and the lack of oceanic currents resulting from the melting of the Antarctic ice cap. I had assumed that was what the red ocean was supposed to mean and why the purification plant was for

*** Also, in this version Gendo doesn't demanded the LCL pressure to be raised until Shinji tells him that [[DramaticIrony he should be forced to lose someone important to him too so he can understand his pain.]]

** On this topic, in the anime, Shinji ''threatens'' to destroy headquarters. In the manga, he tries to, but is stopped at the docking bay. In Rebuild, we cut to ''Shinji [[{{PrecisionFStrike}} FUCKING Ikari'' having wrecked and leveled a good part of NERV headquarters, pointing out that he has enough time to destroy half of headquarters... ''if he wants''. [[{{UnstoppableRage}} After an exchange, he proceeds to stomp the shit out of the headquarters pyramid]].That is, until Gendo stops him by ordering that LCL compression be raised to maximum and causing him to pass out.

* If you listen closely to Give Me Wings, the song that plays as Shinji starts to initiate Third Impact, you'll notice that it has shades of Canon in D Major...just like Komm, Susser Tod, which played over Third Impact in End of Evangelion. Symbolic or no, it's a hell of a callback on the part of Shiro Sagisu.

* In 2.0, Shinji [[UnstoppableRage stomps repeatedly on the Nerv Pyramid after the Eva Unit 4 incident]]. In EndOfEvangelion, he does the same thing...in his mind or something as a child ([[MindScrew don't ask]]). After he, in EOE destroys his sand pyramid, he begins rebuilding it...I see what you did there Anno.

** Gendo says flat-out in Rebuild that he's trying to PROTECT the world (this time, at least). Who knows what his plans are, other than that getting [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Squick Rei and Shinji together]] is part of it? Note, PART of it. Not the END of it.

** Well, if it's anything like the original continuities (which, with 2 movies left...) it will involve Rei and Adam in some way initiating Instrumentality. So, really, Kaworu's BigDamnHero moment furthers Gendo's plan (probably).

* Some further thought on the 2.0 ending: while a fairly badass moment for Shinji, he's willing to initiate Third Impact to save the girl he (arguably) loves. Here's where the horror comes in: what exactly is Gendo's overall goal again?

** [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ages_of_consent_in_Asia#Japan Actually, the legal age of consent in Japan is 13]]. So, [[ValuesDissonance technically]], Kaji isn't doing anything wrong.

* Kaji's joke-flirting with [[spoiler: Shinji]]. Admittedly hilarious the first time you see it, but halfway towards the fridge is when you realize Kaji [[spoiler: came on to a 14-year-old boy!]] Even as a joke, very DudeNotFunny. And any judge would be inclined to agree.

** You just keep saying "End of the World" like it's a ''bad'' thing...

** The international titles of the films have the word "not" in brackets because at the beginnings of the films, Shinji is in the state the title describes without the word "not" and by the ends of the films, he reaches the state described by the title with the word "not". i.e. At the beginning of 1.11, "You [Shinji] Are Alone", at the end of 1.11, "You Are Not Alone"; at the beginning of 2.22, "You Can Advance", at the end of 2.22, "You Can Not Advance".

* FridgeHorror: Asuka playing with the doll in 2.0. If you've seen the original series, you'll appreciate why this is so messed up.
