S3E9.5 PREVIEW - Evangelion 3.33 - You Can (Not) Have a Twink Boyfriend

Stargate Oversight

Preview of bonus episode available on the $3.50 tier of the Patreon

It's peak depression hours again. Come on girls, let's get rotmaxxing in a hopeless fervor as we discuss the third installment of Hideki Anno's remake of the anime that makes you feel really bad. It's Evangelion time! We return to these movies after a long while to ask such philosophical questions as "what if you were gay?" and "is it ethical to put a bomb collar on a child?". Well, maybe I am slightly exaggerating there, but we certainly go on some tangents that make our friend and returning guest Storm (not the cat) insane.
After Shinji put non-branded flavour aide in the oceans, we have to figure out how to find hope in a hopeless world. Also they did sci-fi magic to make all the underage characters not age for 100% not weirdy creepy fanservice and merchandising opportunities for the absolute worst fans out there. Hope tells us that they thematically make it work later on and I'm inclined to believe her, but...come on. There's a contingent of Evangelion fans whose hard drives really need checking.
The full episode is nearly 3 hours long and this is not even our longest one. Sometimes it's riffs, sometimes it's actually making interesting points that engage critically and meaningfully with this art. I'm honestly convinced that Anno spent hours and hours in some kind of fucked up laboratory studying how to make you feel as much pain as physically possible with this one.
