I think I first fell in love with this fic around the time Rei falcon punched Ramiel to death. There are really just no words for this fanfic.

Well, "disappointingly worse in quality" can be applied to Season Four.

"In need of more foreshadowing" can also be applied to the plot twist at the end of Season Four.

I liked it at first, but eventually it collapsed under its own absurdity for me. I liked the lighthearted tone and the alternate versions of the characters, but I only ever tolerated the style of humor, and eventually when the humor was obviously coming to the forefront at the expense of the things I actually liked about it, I quit reading it.

I just want Rei/The Ree to cop some shit for their actions sometime.

Shame the character development Rei got in Season Four (regarding being a Mother and seeing what it does to young people) was retconned out. That was about the one thing from that Season I was sorry to see go.

I stopped reading after introduction of all those five Rei clones. It became way too hectic for my taste.

[up][up]Wait, Rei got character development and then it got retconned? UGH WHY!!! I cannot stand the way Rei gets away with fucking anything no matter how awful and then it's just like "OH, THAT WACKY REI! :D" Least favorite thing about the fic, hands down.

I liked it at first when it actually had something resembling plot and wasn't made up of a bunch of absurd shenanigans and "shout outs" that basically boiled down to "I like this fictional media, let me just copy-paste it into the story. Brilliant!"

But for the time that it was good, it was glorious.

[up][up] Pretty much. That's the main thing that gets me about the fic; Rei and her sisters can do whatever they want (up to and included calling down a fucking Rod from God that would have leveled Tokyo-3 if not for AT-Fields) and they get off scot-free for no reason. Even before Season 4 (though I'm pretty sure the Orbital Strike happened in Season 4) it was pretty much the same.

The shout-outs I can take, even if I do hate some of the more extreme ones (the Multiverse arc, I believe, should have stayed within the confines of Canon Eva and Nobody Dies, and maybe a couple of other Evafics. They shouldn't have had Tali (and later the entire Mass Effect crew) turn up (and then The Doctor) as a result of Rei's OHSOWACKY adventures through the multiverse.

So I guess I can expect a marked decrease in quality later on? Right now I'm only on chapter fifteen, so...

Yes, expect a massive decrease in quality later. Worse than Fake Karakura and Decide from bleach.

I actually liked ND cross over with other Eva fics... but I agree that the presence of Tali and The Doctor was really just shoehorned in and kind of stupid.

I guess I realize what this means: Nobody Dies would have been the coolest shit if only it had actually wrapped up when the last Angel died instead of just going and going and going and going.

So what you're saying is that it pulled a Dragon Ball GT? Where does it ostensibly "conclude" then?

Lol IDK, it's been forever since I read it. But after they kill all the Angels, they introduce some other monsters for the Evangelion people to fight, and that's right about where it starts showing the first signs of slipping.

On the topic of shoehorned in references, don't forget Glado- I mean, Naok00. And Gendo as Altair.

Well that's a damn shame. It's just too awesome where I'm at sad

But if a story has overstayed its welcome, then it might as well be over regardless.

Yeah. It started out awesome, then just kinda...dragged...and got bogged down.

my running theory is that the author got replaced with a reptoid duplicate around the time it started to show signs of sucking

So I guess I can expect a marked decrease in quality later on? Right now I'm only on chapter fifteen, so...

In my opinion:

Season One: (Mostly) excellent, tight and solid writing.

Season Two: See above.

Season Three: Drop in quality, but still good. It's around here (especially the multiverse Arc) that it starts to go off the rails; lots of plot threads going on at once, canon characters get majorly pushed to the back, Unit-05 and Rei start reaching Suish levels of power, lots of OCs etc.

Season Four: The shout-out/cracky espects of the fic go into overdrive and completely eclipse everything else. Not bad, but definitely not up to snuff of previous seasons.

End of Season Four: Could have used a lot more foreshadowing, but definitely a good choice. Only problem is a lot of character development was retconned out. Worth it, in my opinion, so that we never got Asuka vs the World or any of the other superfluous bullshit in that Season.

Start of Season Five (from the Spacebattles thread, which I lurk like a madman): Looking promising.

[up] Nah, unless everyone else wants to.

I dunno, I'll probably let it sit after season 2 unless season five is really good. I just like the characters as they are now, and the plot is still moving along rather nicely in my opinion. Only complaint I have so far is that Misato didn't put a fucking cap in Kyoko's ass. Seriously, the bitch deserves it.

[up] She gets outbitched in Season 4 by Mari's mother.

Her response is to light the bitch's hair on fire.

WHY

WHY WAS THAT RETCONNED?

Mari's mother is a colossal bitch.

Makes you wonder why, considering Gregg's explanation for why Season Four went the way it did.

Unless it was actually Season 3 and I'm just forgetting.

It seriously awes me that someone could be a more foul, vile wench than Kyoko. What the fuck did she do, rub her down with tabasco sauce while whipping her?
