History WMG / RebuildofEvangelion

* Can't ''imagine'' how much fun she had with FireEmblem 4, then.

[[WMG: Utada Hikaru will sing [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome Cruel Angel's Thesis]] in one of the upcoming movies.]]

Remember how the version of [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome The Beast]] featured "Hallelujah", not to mention the girlish giggling that ''[[NightmareFuel didn't come from Asuka]]'' right before she [[MindScrew sprouted wings and was forcibly pulled into the Entry Plug]]? Yeah... I'd say Q will feature this between Asuka's periods of [[AngstWhatAngst not being filled with suicidal depression]] about it. This Time, this troper suspects Mari will be mindraped (Shinji's in the hospital, presumably Rei is too, and, well, Kaworu's an Angel...why would he suffer the effects of MindRape?).

*** That's the CatharsisFactor talking.

*** Am I a bad person if part of me actually wants to see it?

But in the new century, Anno is a new man. He's happily married, and while he can have [[MomentOfAwesome his highs]] and [[DarkestHour low moments]], he's more mature and can come to terms with himself, and also he even has the help of [[TrueCompanions his good friend Miyazaki and his loving wife]].

** This will happen while A Cruel Angel Thesis is being sung by none other but Music/JAMProject, and with that spectacle, [[MomentOfAwesome even the heavens will cry in joy]].

Think about it. As of 2.0, we have exactly three Angels left: Arael, Armisael, and Tabris. Unless ''Final'' simply deals with [[AssimilationPlot Instrumentality]] and TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt (which has not only [[The End of Evangelion been done before]] but also [[WildMassGuessing seems to be]] a far cry from [[EarnYourHappyEnding where the series is going]]), there is hardly enough material to make two more movies. Also, [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome it would be f___ing awesome to say the least]].

The boy damned near killed the planet to save her life. After what he's been through (and what's likely to come), thinking about the [[OedipusComplex Oedipal]] [[IncestIsRelative implications]] seems a relatively trivial thing. To be sure, there will probably be a stretch of time where he's shocked and confused, but he will get past it (in what will probably be another CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming).

Bonus points if it comes from the [[CosmicPlaything universe's favorite plaything]]: Shinji. And it will be [[MomentOfAwesome glorious]]!

** [[spoiler: Alternatively, they fight ''[[CrowningMomentOfAwesome together]]''.....and [[ForegoneConclusion still lose]] ]]

** Or Shinji will finally snap from the constant physical abuse, kill most of WILLE, and take Asuka hostage to interrogate her for information, before raping and killing her. Yeah, Shinji's gonna be THAT depraved in Final.

** This will happen while A Cruel Angel Thesis is being sung by none other but [[JAMProject JAM Project]], and with that spectacle, [[MomentOfAwesome even the heavens will cry in joy]].

[[WMG: The ending of the final movie will reveal that not only Rebuild, but also the original Evangelion was all a [[AllJustADream hallucination]] of [[DrawntoLife Jowee]]]].

Notice the Japanese titles Jo-Ha-Kyu referring to the Japanese dramatic structure of "beginning, break, rapid". 1.11 is a shot-for-shot enhanced remake of the TV series up to Ramiel that streamlines and expands upon the action. 2.22 significantly changes and condenses many fights all the way to Kaworu, before completely breaking OffTheRails at [[DiscOneFinalBoss Zeruel]], prematurely jumping to the end of the original and setting off Third Impact. 3.33 takes place in a full-blown AlternateContinuity only [[BroadStrokes tangentially resembling]] the world we've seen before. As a result of (Near-)Third Impact, Evangelion is amplified UpToEleven - the world has been reduced to an uninhabitable wasteland, the warring [=NERV=] and [=WILLIE=] appear to be the last humans alive, Evangelions are awesomely mass-produced in a LensmanArmsRace with [=WILLIE's=] AT-powered airship fleet, everybody explicitly hates Shinji more than he ever imagined, Gendo has usurped even [[OmniscientCouncilOfVagueness SEELE]] as the series' BiggerBad, and Kaworu has ascended to become [[MessianicArchetype a full-blown messiah]] of IncorruptiblePurePureness. [[LighterAndSofter "Evangelion on Proper Medication"]] was all a ruse to set up an even [[DarkerAndEdgier darker]] situation than the original, [[DeusAngstMachina if such a thing were even possible]].

** Or she'll just turn into glowy Tang.

* This WMG hinges on the idea that in 3.0, characters began to become similar to other characters; Misato became like Gendo, Gendo became like Keel, blah blah blah. At the end of the movie, Asuka's shaping up to be a lot like Misato during EOE. She's absolutely livid at Shinji's inaction, but still cares about him and wants wants what's best for him. So, at some point in FINAL, Asuka will (presumably)

So, just like 3.0 was a retelling of Nadia, in 3+1 we (may) see a retelling of Gunbuster, with the iconic scene where Gunbuster "Fuses" with [[http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_o0Qp_hF0VCI/TJvJqOU2GkI/AAAAAAAAAEw/vMWF5WWClCU/s1600/1284958712747.jpg Exellion]]. That will be the moment when the will and the soul of the author, distant for so many years, will become one again.

[[WMG: Hideaki Anno actually secretly still dislikes Evangelion. His actual ambition is attempting a remake of NadiaTheSecretOfBlueWater.]]

That odd girl with the poofy pink-ish hair, in the trailer, doesn't anybody else think her pink hair is unusual? I know its anime, but back in the TV show the only people with truly unusual hair were Rei and Kaworu. Misato has purple hair, true, but its more of a stylistic black. Pink just seems too far off the normal range. So its possible she might be 'something'.

** More likely though, it's a ShoutOut, go look at the trope page for {{UFO}}. Look familiar? You should see the opening credits..

AKA the First Ancestral Race, of which Seele and perhaps Gendo are indicative of. This also provides Neo (Atlantis) Nerv a reason why they survived when the entire world under Wille is against them, because they have an entire army and superweapons under their command. Shinji, as "male Nadia" (which Anno and Sadamoto always called him as in the Proposal), will discover that Eva-01 can store the numerous souls of the FAR including his own mother, but to save Wille let himself be captured by Neo (Atlantis) Nerv and shown his true heritage: he was the direct descendant of the First Ancestral Race (Atlantis), of which Yui aka Jesus was a member (or perhaps the original leader), who created the Angels and Humanity in the first place, hence why he was crucial to the start of Instrumentality; only a FAR could activate the Moons, fuse Angels and Humans into one and ascend to Godhood. Mari learned this as even Kaworu's death was unable to prevent Fourth Impact and the Moon's activation and so she had to bail Shinji out herself. Other Nadia-related parallel Theories:

* Rei will take the role of Emperor Neo, an artificial replica of a True FAR (Yui) who is being mindwiped and brainwashed by Gendo (Gargoyle) to use as a figurehead God, but after being severely damaged will eventually restore her own consciousness and love, and destroy herself to save Shinji.

* Bonus points if, by means of TimeyWimeyBall or somesuch, it turns out that ''[[TomatoSurprise she's actually Shinji's mom]], that Shinji was sent into the past [[{{Superman}} as a baby]] [[Franchise/{{Terminator}} to save the world as we know it]], and Shinji performs a HeroicSacrifice to avert the End before Rei/Lilith [[Literature/TheBible resurrects him]] [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything three days later]] and Shinji later becomes one with Rei [[Theatre/OedipusRex and/or Mari]] after saving the world, eventually [[GrandfatherParadox becoming his own father]] and then sending himself back in time as a baby for the sake of a StableTimeLoop. [[RuleOfSymbolism Hey]], [[MindScrew it's]] [[GainaxEnding possible]], [[FreudWasRight given the series]].

** More advanced wings, and [[FreudWasRight a giant needle-like body.]]

Hence why, despite Wille being a branch of the UN, Neo-Nerv still as the global wealth and power of multiple superpowers to drive them off, even capable of manufacturing legions of expensive Eva Mark 06 replicas. If there would be a prequel before the fuckup in 3.0 happened, perhaps it would show that when Shinji ascended to Godhood, somehow it leaked into the Internet globally and sent the entire world into a panic that because Angels were Real and have returned to Earth, then it is time for the Book of Revelation to come true: God will exact punishment to the Human race for their sins. Gendo will be arrested by the United Nations (as the trailer in the end of 2.0 showed us) but will escape because as it turned out, nations all over the world have been taken over by religious fanatics who started to believe that the Instrumentality, Seele and Gendo's promise to the world, is the promised Rapture to the Promised Heaven from their miserable lives wracked by poverty and war. It will be expected if the pro-Instrumentality faction will be mostly composed of regimes hostile to the America-dominated UN as well as Third World Nations, creating a scenario similar to the United Nations Global Defense Initiative vs Brotherhood of Nod in VideoGame/CommandAndConquer. Because of the story's focus on Shinji, we haven't seen the politics explaining the reason behind the global disaster in 3.0, hence why UN tanks are everywhere littering the landscape. Perhaps this was evidence of World War III, as the UN forced Nerv defectors to create Wille, while Gendo is seen as like some kind of HighPriest or GodEmperor by the Instrumentalists, hence why Kaworu denounced him as "King of the Lilin."

* Also, I like to think those Mark-06 replicas that Unit 02+08 slaughtered are piloted by cone-headed Nazis.

* Captain Nemo will of course be Misato but this time half of his traits (e.g. alien ancestry) will be shared with Mari who helped establish Wille and clearly has massive knowledge with the true nature of First Ancestral technology, perhaps making Mari a FAR herself rebelling against Seele... and perhaps like Nemo did, inevitably save Wille by sacrificing herself, after Shinji learned that she is his long-lost sister.

* Seele were originally Atlanteans who uploaded themselves into Blue Water-like devices to preserve their consciousness under numerous guises such as the Illuminati and they chose Gendo Ikari to be their equivalent of Gargoyle, someone dedicated to command of Atlantis' resurrection... until Gendo went all Paradise Lost and killed Seele.
* Captain Nemo will of course be Misato but this time half of his traits (e.g. alien ancestry) will be shared with Mari who helped establish Wille and clearly knows and has experience with the true nature of First Ancestral technology, making Mari an Atlantean herself rebelling against Seele... and perhaps like Nemo did, inevitably save Wille by sacrificing herself, after Shinji learned that she is his long-lost FAR sister.
* Rei will take the role of Emperor Neo, who is being mindwiped and brainwashed by Gendo (Gargoyle), but after being severely damaged will eventually restore her own consciousness and love, and destroy herself to save Shinji.
* Gendo will be punished like Gargoyle was in the end. He thought he was FAR (Atlantean) and so caused Instrumentality to exterminate mankind, and killed Seele. Thinking himself an immortal god he planned to bring back his Atlantean wife Yui from the dead... only that because he is not FAR, he fails to re-encounter her, and is ultimately "reduced to salt" i.e. utterly destroyed.

Also, I like to think those Mark-06 replicas that Unit 02+08 slaughtered are piloted by cone-headed Nazis.

[[WMG: If Rebuild indicates a Nadia remake, then the main villains will be a replica of Neo-Atlantis]]
