[[WMG: The Anti-Universe, the realm beyond the Doors of Guf wherein Shinji and Gendo fight, is the [[WMG/{{Warhammer 40000}} Immaterium.]]]]
A dimension beyond space and time, wherein one's unconscious thoughts and memories are given shape? It's definitely the Warp. Meaning the "non human beings" who left the Golgotha Object and the Adams were most likely the [[{{Precursors}} Old Ones]].
* Alternatively, Rebuild takes place in a world in the 40k galaxy and the original 4 Adams were likely based on the Four Chaos Gods. However, after Shinji changed everything to erase everything related to Angels and Evas from existence, the Rebuild world was cut off from the Warp and hence "returned to normalcy".

And with Shinji saving the world, not as a designated hero or a totally badass, but [[SweetDreamsFuel as a mature being, forgiving and redeeming everybody]] just as Anno forgave Evangelion and the fans]]. He ended the "Curse of EVA" just making a story so great, and an ending which could only be loved, so fans can only accept this ending, with all the goodwill to the series, to the team, and the creator. And accept as the finale of the franchise: Nothing could be better than this!

Considering how Rebuild goes about deconstructing fan desires, and how he finally succeeded in making Rei creepy, he seems set to end things on a note that would kill fan's interest in the series, thus put an end to the franchise for good on his terms. There's been at least one known key thing that would do this: [[spoiler: It's not Asuka, Rei or even Misato that Shinji ends up with but Mari, who's despised by various hardcore fans and shippers for various reasons.]] With this and other possible final spites toward the fans, they'll lose interest and thus the series can truly die and Anno be freed from its shadow after being tied to it for over 20 years (likely the basis for the "Curse of EVA").

** That or how Anno is tied to the series in reputation, even when making other things. Such things become secondary to Eva.




to:

* Comfirmed, but not as pilots.



* Slightly relate to above, she's at least a jab at how most fans of the main Eva girls only like them on a superficial level as unlike them, she lacks the unflattering bits that are intended to deconstruct their archetypes (often ignored by said fans). This is part of why such fans HATE her, she's like a mirror showing the ugly truth about them. The lack of such incidentally makes her more 'waifuable' by newer fans or those put off by said unflattering traits.




to:

* A catalyst for change, particularly in Shinji. Her increasing presence seems to go in hand with the plot going further from the original plot. But with Shinji, she's a healthy influence, able to set him in the right direction as opposed to enabling his negative tendencies, ignoring them or making them worse. Unfortunately she's only really able to be such in a major way in the last movie.

** Not a perfect take, but Mana being among Mari's archetypal ancestors is believeable.




to:

[[WMG: Plug depth was intended to be a less fan wanky take on synchro ratios]]
Synchro ratios and virations of such have been used akin to power levels, something that outside of Super Robot wars games, annoyed Anno. But he neee a way to show it, hence the vague plug depth.

[[WMG: Anno exempts Super Robot war adaptations from his fan spite agenda]]
It's telling that the things he's against or deconstructs have a way playing differently in those games, such as Shinji saving Rei in 2.x's finale, or having things end on a happier note with the original series in Alpha. This suggets that as much he may loathe Eva fans, his love for mecha and the celebration of such, super robot wars is greater than that.




to:

** Jossed, it's subtiled "Thrice Upon a time".




to:

* At least the third considering the subtitle of 3.0+1.0, "Thrice upon a time", which has a few nods to the Manga.

\n** Considering it's '''''Thrice''' Upon a Time'', there's a possibility that the [[Manga/NeonGenesisEvangelion manga continuity,]] notable for its [[spoiler:far less bleak BittersweetEnding]] compared to the original anime continuity, might get thrown into the mix. Considering a random shot of Asuka in winter clothing [[spoiler: that closely echoes Shinji's encounter with Asuka in a snowy, wintry Tokyo at the end of the manga]], it's not impossible.

Okay, so. We have four giants of light, the Adams that triggered Second Impact with the Spears. Something happened to them, and now they're gone, or have been turned into Evangelion Units. EVA 01 is one of them, EVA 13 is another, Mark 06 was probably one more, and the Key of Nebuchadnezzar is the remains of the fourth. Gendo is trying to reawaken all of them. We've already had EVA-01 "awakened" into a giant of ligh. With the awakened EVA 13 having absorbed what was left of Mark 06, it counts as two in one. Gendo is more than likely going to use the Key to merge himself with EVA 13, becoming essentially three Adams in one, and then pilot it to find and merge with EVA 01, becoming a god, and forever merging his soul with Yui. This would undoubtedly kill off what life there is left on Earth, but why would he care about that?

[[WMG: [[spoiler: Noriko Takaya]] will appear!!]]
At the end of 3.0 the teaser said that after losing the will to live, Shinji walked aimlessly, but something helped him to recover hope. In the story of Hideaki Anno characters, there was one who walked a similar path, failing everybody and losing the most loved ones, each one ofter another. This one was Noriko Takaya, from Gunbuster. And she didn't need a Bright Slap, or a Rousing Speech. She just became fed up of being scared, and became TheDreaded for the invaders. If anybody in the Anno-Verse can inspire this Shinji, and give him a light, it's her. ''It's our Noriko, [[HopeBringer The Hope Bringer]]''.

[[WMG: ''Thrice Upon a Time'' will involve three timelines]]
Playing off of the long-held belief that ''Rebuild'' is a sequel, the movie will take things to another level by explaining that Asuka Langely Soryu and Shinji Ikari never really left, but things that they did after the events of ''The End of Evangelion'' led to some sort of reset and history itself changing. The movie proper, picking up where ''3.0'' left off, will also explain what happened prior to the TimeSkip between ''2.0'' and ''3.0'' and determine the fates of several characters. Ultimately, things will get worse and it will seem like a DownerEnding is inevitable, but this time, Shinji Ikari, Asuka Langely Shikinami, and Rei Q (and maybe Mari Illustrious Makinami) will get a chance to reset the timeline once more and SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong for a GoldenEnding to the entire franchise.
