shinji in evangelion, the angels were able to wipe the floor with all the other eva, but somehow his doesnt even get damaged at all or not enough to completely disable it, even the strongest angel isnt able to damage his eva, plus they never go into detail how the eva is able withstand a poweful energy blast, and yes the berzerk mode is a plot armor/device, never explains where they get the boost of power that gives them the same AT field/gamma blasts of the angels, yea we know his is vessel of the adams. but the evas dont have a s2 engine core LIKE THE ANGELS DO. other than the ones evas cant touch, like ramiel who can fire an indefinte particle cannon which comes close to destroying the eva, arael, or armisael. EVAs are mostly Melee units, and long range attacks are th eonly things that remotely damages them.

This is true, but shinji still loses in every version (old skool version), and the human race dies with him…Because

Shinji loses? Is that what happened in the original fever dream ending? I swear, I watched it, I read about it, and I even rewatched it, and what is actually happening (as in any movie/show/production where the ‘mind’ is able to be tricked by illusions and such, but that’s a rant for somewhere else) never makes any sense even ‘in-universe.’ It just came out of nowhere, it seems. The directors seemed to think, “oh, throw some weird existential horror at the audience and then they’ll just eat up whatever the writers shit out.”

You are right. It skipped the ending and went to shinning being like: “I do matter!” roll credits
Then they made 2 movies w diff endings. In all of them humanity looses…or rather evolves/merges back into a super god, lillith.
Amazon remade it w a different ending of humanity surviving. Hella confusing unless you go into YouTube, research, etc.

Okay, so the shinjji+roll credits that I remember is correct. I never watched the movies with the different endings.
