I often can't believe some Japanese guy thought of this and was ok with making it. Like, really dude?
Then I think of some American guy who wrote the book "It".
[CW: child SA]
spoiler
JAPANESE CHARACTER AFTER JERKING OFF IN FRONT OF A COMATOSE GIRL: "God I'm so fucked up"AMERICAN CHARACTERS AFTER HAVING A CHILD GANGBANG: "This was totally a necessary scene"
American author being interviewed about writing that scene: "I wrote that? Jesus I need to quit cocaine!"
pls cw
done
pls don't banish me to the corgi dimension
Does that really happen in the anime? I watched the anime series (no movies) and I don't remember it at all thankfully.
It's in the End of Evangelion movie. It's not in the TV series, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't in the comic.
What comic? Eva wasn't based on a comic
This one.
The comic technically started release first, but didn't finish until like 2013. It has little differences throughout, and it's ending is pretty similar to EoE. If you are into the franchise enough to watch the rebuild movies, it's probably worth a quick read.
I cut things off at EoE. That and the series are a full story and I ain't need more.
The explanation I've always heard was that it was his response to otakus jerking off to anime characters. I.e. women who can't hurt you with rejection. This is who he sees them as.
From an article in which he is interviewed:
They lost it to China and the Soviet Union. But maybe losing the inter-imperialist rivalry hit them different.
The US specifically wanted to avoid the Soviets from entering the Pacific Front because they didn't want them having any possible claims to Japan and potentially having to split the land akin to Europe. Pretty quickly after the US occupation there was a sizable communist movement seeking to gain power through election where they expected the US to hold up their public statements of freedom and democracy. In the end though the US cracked down on the leadership and essentially destroyed the movement. Though pretty pathetic now, the Japanese communist party still receives a decent chunk of the vote, though obviously nothing to actually disrupt the neoliberal hell.
the US specifically asked the soviet union to enter the war in the pacific at the Yalta Conference
The admin was still under FDR at Yalta. Truman was on a very different page than FDR about the Soviets, which led to dropping nuclear weapons to end the war before Soviets could get more involved in the Pacific
Thanks. Didn't know this.
The Americans occupied them and rebuilt them into the neoliberal monstrosity they are today.
i think destroying the fleet of an island nation and blockading it was pretty major when japans armies were overseas
Tbf the whole point of that movie is that Shinji is a horrible person who ends up totally broken due to his inability to even try and confront any of his demons.
Or he's a very traumatized child who has been thrust into an extremely unhealthy environment, and manipulated every step of the way, and that eventually breaks him. I'm not saying he's a great person, but it's pretty clear that he never stood a chance from the get-go. He still chose to do what he did in that scene, but it's not done in isolation with everything else he's been through.
The difference is that Evangelion is actually good unlike anything King ever wrote
King is hit or miss but by sheer quantity he has more great books than many writers in their whole catalogue
The Dark Tower series is fantastic. Also, you're in a definite minority. Steven King is well known as one of the greatest authors alive. He's wrote duds but much of his work is regarded as great, like Pet Cemtary, Christine, and Salems Lot.
I get that you have fond memories of reading his books but "one of the greatest authors alive"? Really? It's horror schlock for teenagers, it's fun but it's not this groundbreaking literature you're making it out to be.
Lol. The dude literally defined a genre. Why do you think he's got like a dozen movies made based on his books and several TV series?
