Comment on What character is the king of plot armor?

  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.
