Evangelion, whether it is the original series or the re-imagining, is not the kind of thing to watch when you're sick. But that it what I found myself doing this evening, against my better judgment. I am not going to review the title here, as I expect many other sites with writers far better than I will do just that. There is no point in clogging up the internet more than is necessary. The following are a few of my fever-muddled thoughts.
All in all the experience was a good one, with many "oh my gosh" and "nooooo!" moments scattered throughout. Mari turned out to be a much better character than I expected her to be (when I first saw the character design for her I wasn't sure I could take a girl in a pink plugsuit seriously) but that just goes to show that you can't judge a book by its cover. Rei also gets a personality overhaul, making her much more likeable, although die-hard fans of the original Rei may not take kindly to this change.
This movie differs much more from the original series than 1.11 did. If only the third movie was finished. It's going to be a long wait for me. That's all for tonight, gotta sleep this cold thing off.
P.S <SPOILERS>
Shinji ends up threatening Nerv with destruction after the dummy plug override in 2.22, and my husband says Shinji does that in the original series as well. I don't remember that happening in the original series. Can anyone shed light on this? I want to tell him he's wrong, heheheheh.
