What is Neon Genesis Evangelion?

Still, the concept is wrong.

And I'm not arrogant: I'm right.

How do you know? They may very well resemble the Barons of Hell.

Further, you could be right without being such a goddamn asshole.

I think Spanky has felt the whole "I know the series and will explain to you even though I have brain of chicken and know really nothing" moron one too many times so hey he has decided to be as blunt as possible so that no one interprets what he writes in EVA as some bizarre fanboy rant who has never seen the series.

It may not be the most cordial way but I don't believe he's really giving a damn.

Now you know why I worded my report on the endings so carefully. The slightet thing can set this guy off about Eva.

A Search for the Barons of Hell only gets other Eva sites. It's probably a hoax, and I seem to recall someone caying as such on another message board.

The "Official Fact" Spanky the Dolphin claims doesn't really make too much sense, and conflicts with other "official facts" heard elsewhere (which makes slightly more sense, but not too much sense either). Right now I try to avoid the isssue about the cannonanity [is that a word?] about the ending and merely state that End of Evangelion sucks. I can still say that at least (untill Gainax releases a statement saying that End of Evangelion does not suck, in which case it become mere fan opinion and should be discarded in favor of offical fact).

I took 'The Barons of Hell' to mean the bosses in Doom.

These people also fucked up Captain Nemo and 20,000 Leagues under
the Sea....

A 180 knot FUSION powered submarine in the 19th century? Oh bullshit.

I therefore resolve to go out and win the lottery so I can bribe Gainax
to show the Soviet 117th Motor Rifle Division assaulting EVA Unit 01
and blowing massive gaping holes in it with their gun-launched ATGMs....

Sheppard, you know that you are not allowed to post in Evangelion threads.

I am right because I know Official Facts. I don't use my personal opinions like most Eva fans do.

Yogi, just shut up. Right there you are letting personal opinion override official facts.

Fuck you, Spanky. Fuck you to hell.

The reason the military couldn't destroy the Angels was because they were
the FUCKING UNITED NATIONS!

The USSR would just fly a Tu-95 Bear over the fucking Angels and drop
the full unpowered version of TSAR BOMBA over it and well....no more angel......or no more city either HEHEHEHEH AH AHAHHAHAH

YAHAH A HAAHHAHAH

Fighting the Angels was part of the prophecy predicted in the Secret Dead Sea Scrolls, you moron. SEELE followed it to initiate an artificial Third Impact.

This is the USSR, they want the angels DEAD so that their socialist
paradise can continue. All in all, it takes the USSR only 14 weeks
to test their anti-angel nuke and deploy it successfully.

Spanky The Dolphin · Post by **Spanky The Dolphin** » 2003-01-04 01:44am

You don't understand the series for shit, Shep.

The USSR would only have to fight the Angels if they initiated Second Impact to reduce Adam to his embriotic state in the first place. SEELE needed to fight the Angels, to get Third Impact. If you don't want to get TI or start SI, you don't fight the Angels.

Spanky The Dolphin · Post by **Spanky The Dolphin** » 2003-01-04 01:52am

Since Shep has infected this thread with his idiotic mindset, I think it should be locked.

And I'd like an Eva fan to AIM me about a few opinions for my Post-EoE FanFic.

Eat shit and die. Evangelion is a good giant mecha series, but when it
tries to inject religion into the plot, as you keep wanking about, it falls
apart like a giant turd circling the bowl after you flush the toilet...

Spanky The Dolphin · Post by **Spanky The Dolphin** » 2003-01-04 02:00am

It doesn't inject religion. It uses religious icons and elements as plot devices. They are simply used, not preached.

And I'm not wanking, you fuck. I'm explaining to you how the series works...

You're the one who appears to be wanking about the fucking USSR and God damn tanks.

Me or Shep?

Shep: I'm not the one who doesn't seem to know that the JSSDF aren't part of the UN, or that the USSR would have start Second Impact and want to fight the Angels in the first place so they can start Third Impact.

So what you're basically saying is that Evangelion is the ANIME version of the
Left Behind book series?

Woudn't know, haven't heard of it.

It's fucked up fundie crap, which makes me think of Evangelion when I read it.

Spanky The Dolphin · Post by **Spanky The Dolphin** » 2003-01-04 02:18am

Considering that there's no actual religion featured in Eva, I doubt it.

Evangelion is a blatant ripoff of Christian mythology from what you've told
me of EoE...

Spanky The Dolphin · Post by **Spanky The Dolphin** » 2003-01-04 02:22am

Actually, they mostly use Jewish (specifically Kabalistic icons) and Christian symbols as just plot devices.

And I've been explaining the general series, not just EoE.

M.K., Spanky

chillout

Yes, I know some folks absolfuckinglootly, hate the intellegence lowering of military forces for some of these fantasy epics.

Just sit back and enjoy the ride Mark.

Spanky, it's not the greatest action movie ever, those were made in the 1960's or in the 1980's

Spanky The Dolphin · Post by **Spanky The Dolphin** » 2003-01-04 02:30am

It's not an action movie, bear.

It's an anime series and two films. And they're not in the action genre.
