Lol

Maybe he is SEELE 1

LMAO

yes

i thought that too

That kid must really like rei

Darren well you can blame him, I’m sure almost everybody, even some of the people inside the fandom, hate her, me included.

yeah those flying white basterds set off the third impact by killing Asuka and setting of shinji

Just for the godly rei/lilith to kill everyone

*cough* *cough* cant breathe...

Lmao what’s wrong with end of evangelion? I haven’t watched anything of evangelion but I’m interested on why that movie is controversial

@@impmadness oh no I love the movie and so does the fan base, without ruining anything it’s just that this particular toy is based off something quite... distressing haha Highly recommend watching Evangelion btw! Just stop after episode 24 then watch End of E as episodes 25 and 26 are a less “refined” ending

@@jontyrosenow9396 oh ok cool

"I can't accept this."

Dumb kid!

He is a traitor, he is in favor of the angels.

Don't you want to become one big soup with the rest of humanity :3

@@shodank9590 soup is delicious.

Zenith Maldren its a fucking movie, its not just because he’s a kid, he’s reading a script

It's also white and looks like an angel. I'd probably assume it's a good guy if I were a kid

its probably a parallel to robin's character, the kid thinks he's a good guy but is actually wrong about it. I'm surprised the creator of this video didn't touch on that. Also, I think evangelion was 'mispronounced' because that word is pronounced that way in american english. Like evangelist church, you wouldn't say evanGHEList church.

I also felt that, he just wanted it and had probably light information of what the series is about. I was like that when I was a child and got a toy that I liked how it looked but didn’t know where it came from.

Maybe he just really disliked Asuka and was all for instrumentalitty

@@piluex2 instrumentality 2020👀

I mean basically a good guy...

I...What? Holy shit, I need to get into Evangelion.

I blitzed it over the course of a weekend. It was memorable to say the least.

@@vgman94 good show but it is seriously weird

It's true it messes with your head discovered it in hs. Not the same now better or worse.

Lost in Lucidity Poke A Man. But that’s very interesting

But why did the kid mispronounce it?

seg162 Because it’s a kid and probably just wants the toy cause it looks cool.

seg162 because he most likely hadn’t watched evangelion. he did call a mass produced eva a “good guy” after all

Fuckin drove me nuts as a child

I laughed so hard

Asuka: - Pathetic.

"How disgusting..."

Asuka has nice feet

Comments you can hear.

They are just misunderstood! They just want what's best for humanity

LMFAO

so true!

khornetto and turn all the fucking humanity in lcl

I mean...is there a good guy in evangelion? Really?

He is a good guy too

I was today years old when I learned he was a nerd who named his daughter Zelda I want to cry I love this man so much

One of the best actors.

I feel like if there's ever a live action remake of Eva, he'll pop from the grave to play Gendo Ikari. Or at least horrifically haunt the person directing a Live Action Eva film.

7:13 really hits hard when you think back on it now. ☹️

asuka best girl dude, always remember that

I ain't calling you for dinner, that's for sure

@@Random_Dude999 Best Roadkill

Arv No thats Mari

yeh

And most responsible parents wouldn't let their 10 year old watch End of Evangelion anyway. It makes perfect sense.

aleks no unless he hates Asuka a lot :9

Or it's proof that he did. Most parents would never allow their child to watch the show if they knew what it was, let alone buy its toys. I find it much more likely that the kid saw Evangelion at a friend's house, knew he couldn't tell his parents about it because he wouldn't be allowed to visit that friend's house anymore, and when he saw the MP Eva toy, decided to try and trick his parents into buying it for him by lying to them about the show and the MP Eva's role in it. Likewise, he thought that if Sy knew the truth, he would take it away.

The child simply agrees with human instrumentality.

honestly if I were his parent I would let him watch the show but not the movie

That film would terrorize him.

it would probably KILL him

Well I watched it when I was about his age so... yeah deep traumas left behind

4:00 the kids parents showed him the end of evangelion That's why he couldn't take it

Digimon Adventure's Omegamon / Omnimon is more suitable. 60 feet tall and an actual Good Guy, or at least the main protagonists' partner. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CCuBj8ozC4U.html Though one got to wonder on the real reason the kid couldn't take it. Is it: * His parents forbade it like he said it. * He is just not interest on it anymore. * His parents forbade taking gifts from a stranger.

Best comment ever

He's right

@@snarkylive I know, that's why in my response I said he (the kid in the film who called it a "good guy") was right.

"Sad Asuka noises"

Shhhhhh he knows he just hates Asuka

No, because he's dead

@@TheFunContinues :c

Well, I know that he would do a good job with that dark character. He can play the serious role to perfection.

He lloked more like the Seele leader.

I think in a reddit AMA he wouldn't have wanted to play Gendo but Daisuke Aramaki from Ghost in the Shell

:(

Maybe that's the reason why later the kid didn't want the toy anymore, he watched End of Evangelion

Same

Oddly enough there were plans to make it live action with robin williams playing gendo ikari...the plans fell apart

What happened?

i was wondering about the live action but it would be impossible to cram evangelion into 2 or 2 1/2 hrs there's too much to explain and even the anime has trouble explaining it

I was 12 in the year 2000. I remember what it was like. They weren't actually seeling Eva toys at your average Walmart or K-Mart out there, lol. It's just a movie.

I can relate.

@@shikitohno47 20-40 at a Japanese or SouthWestern Coast of a American Yardsale

I get the feeling that the kid probably mis-pronounced it, and rather than correct him, he simply went with it. Williams was too nice of a guy to correct a kid like that over something so trivial, at the risk of coming off pretentious, condescending, or scalding, so I think he probably just rolled with it. Or he could have found out about the show from the figure, and become a fan afterword. That is also entirely possible.

specially if you consider Robin had depression and that's basically what Evangelion is about

Then again, thinking about it, actually, it may be even simpler. The kid probably said it wrong, and since his CHARACTER hasn't seen Eva before, he wouldn't know to say Gel instead of Jel, and when the kid mis-spoke, (if Williams watched it before the movie was made and not after) then he would have said Jel instead to keep the continuity.

wylde678 That's just how good he is at concealing his power level He pronounced it like a grandpa would say it

You sure that's wrong? That is closer to the Portuguese way of saying it than yours are, and Portuguese is a Latin language

Kitty Mew mew lmao! That damn Eva killed Asuka

*Ate Asuka

Wilbert Castillo that's why he's the good guy

Juan López I mean, I'd eat her too

Juan López in reality it was both

Yup, it makes sense for his character. The word "evangelion" is based on the word "evangelical" which is pronounced more with a J sound, so it makes sense someone seeing the name for the first time would assume evangelion is said the same way. Robin in real life probably knew it was supposed to have a hard G sound.

Well excuse me but the Mass Produced Evas look like the Good guys when they are trying to take down a Rouge Agent Piloting a weapon of mass destruction so, yeah Id agree that they are actually the Good guys and it doesnt help that Asuka is a huge b i t ch like god damn what tf is wrong with her attitude

Jessica L mabye he hates her and loves those things for doing it....I can relate

Asuka was a really good character, even though I related most to her polar opposite Rei, she also had a very important role in the psychological analysis of EVA.

Jessica L You mean more like pack hunted...

great to see you here

SynthCool didn't even realize it was you haha

SynthCool Synth you memer I knew I would find you lurking around here

I have never heard this one. Sounds like a meme, but I would just love to find out a majority of the action scenes from both films have surprising similarities to Eva action scenes, intentional or not. XD

Should’ve known I’d find you here. You’re actually the reason why I started watching Evangelion. It used to be on my to watch list, but now I’ve seen the whole series and End of Evangelion.

ElNingyou Cherish the things that made us sad for his death. Remember the moments he gave.

If you find anything relevant in his AMA let me know. I didn't find anything when I went through his AMA, but then again, those tend to be a rabbit hole of collapsed comments, and I might not have dug deep enough. Thanks.

My mistake, I actually looked back at the AMA and only found Robin mentioning Blood the Last Vampire and GiTS. Then I remembered that I had read the story concerning the figure on a blog a few years ago so I can't find it now and I don't know how accurate it is.

Yeah, that sounds about right, I do remember finding that in his AMA as well. It's just one of those things that took on a life of its own despite not having any primary sources. There was Matt Greenfield, but it's hard to say if he ever met or interacted with him. You can find this misconception all over the place, including IMDB and Did You Know Anime.

If I remember, those Eva figures are actually his 😂

The thought of Robin Williams having been an NGE fan makes a little too much sense.

If only Jake had just gotten into the robot

Orange Tang everywhere

SHINJI GET IN THE GODDAMNED ROBOT

Sy borg???

@@smirage22 Cleanup on every aisle in the universe.

Probably just the director's limited knowledge of the series. It bugs us as fans, but if anyone on the production (Williams included) knew enough to split hairs, they probably just didn't feel it was necessary. Besides, the director was really only looking for something that fit visually. I think it works just fine.

Agree it works fine as a plot device, but you're right it bugs my inner fanboy.

I think he must have had to have known that it wasn't an accurate description if he put it in in the first place. However what the kid actually says it far better for the film.

Maybe they are the good guys, you ever think about that ;)

Wasn't SEELE an American institution?

I would note that Robin had recently been diagnosed with Lewy body dementia, which is a form of dementia which often leads to delerium, psychosis and/or violence. Even without prior depression, it's not unreasonable to chose death over what it will eventually turn you into.

You can prevent suicide, its up to you though. You need to search yourself.

As a fellow nut job I can only pass on my mantra:it could always be worse.

You will always have a chance for happiness, after all you are still alive. I just watched end of evangelion earlier and it had a quote like this.

Well, Robin had Lewy Body Dementia. His mind was literally disintegrating. He was experiencing terrible symptoms every single day, so I would figure any normal person would want to end it. From what I've read, his wife said he looked better his last few days and there was a change in medication, so maybe he didn't even want to kill himself but rather he didn't even know what he was doing (you should do some research on LBD), but that's just a possibility.

Mass produced Evas did nothing wrong

IN CAPITALIST AMERICA MASS PRODUCED ANYTHING IS GOOD GUY!!

MWHТ13 60 FEET TALL

"...and kills bad guys with his sword" almost right

I mean. Technically SEELE's objective was a righteous one. They were literally trying to create "Heaven". Where as Gendo was just trying to see his wife again. If you look at it that way the mass produced Evas were kinda the good guys in a weird way.

Asuka begs to differ

Its all a matter of perspective. One could argue that the MPE's are the good guys and that NERV are the bad guys considering what we know about Gendo's motivations.

except she was literally too angry to die and came back from lcl soup

Rei Ayanami I laughed at this to much...

Thanks. I've got a bunch of stuff cookin. Hopefully I'll be getting into a groove soon.

As a German Catholic, I pronounce it the German-Latin-Greek-way: Like Nehyon Ghehnesis Evanghehlion.

evanjelion for the win xD

Thanks dude! :)

I wish anywhere here in the United Kingdom sold Evangelion figures

Hobby town usa stores sometime stock eva model kits. I've built a few in the past and they look great.

exactly my thought, the audio of him sounds very unsure of his decision as well. if thats true, its a shame to take away the credit of a deceased man

Very good analogy there, though I'd go as far as to argue that even in its proper context, the "he's a good guy" line works - the kid's lying, plain and simple. He probably saw Evangelion at a friend's house because his parents would never have approved of him watching it if they knew what it was about, so he also misrepresents the toy itself because he's worried that Sy and/or his parents would refuse to let him have it.

YES, you could tell from the director's responses he wasn't sure how far to take credit but he showed his hand when he said he had no idea of the background behind the figure. It's so beautiful and ironic that it just makes sense a beloved weeb like Robin would push for it's inclusion. Romanek may have officially "approved" its inclusion but I do believe it was from Robin's collection. Why would production go to the effort of paying for a likely expensive limited edition Japanese import figure?

Very probable.I can see the director asking to production to found "a cool looking robot in mint condition" but Robin Williams saying "hey, i have already one of these in home" so he added this one, because was more fitting with the drama in the movie.

Yes, I agree. The same question may have been asked to Romanek many times about the inclusion since Eva is pretty much a cult within weeb circle but Romanek may just for the reason of his personal ego to acted like someone who's completely ignorant about it. It is highly unlikely a "mass production eva" can be that handy to use as a prop without someone purposely introduce it so Romanek's explanation of being some kind of "accident" is truly full of shit. Think he may be annoyed by everyone asking him about it since a toy has more in-depth meaning than his own writing.

Quite possibly. My concern was the belief that had it not been for Robin Williams, the Evangelion figure would not have made it into the film, and per my exchanges with Mark Romanek, that isn't the case. The question is whether it's the same figure throughout the film. The figure in the packaging looks clearly had been opened in order to remove the card of Asuka. The question is whether the figure in the packaging, the figure out of the packaging, and the figure in the original script reads are all the same figure, or if they are two different figures. Ultimately, that's probably an unimportant detail.

You are most welcome. Evangelion attracts fans from all over the world, and not all of them are native English speakers, so I subtitle all of my videos myself to help with that. It also helps if my speech just isn't clear enough.

There is indeed, I considered mentioning it, but I didn't really feel like it added anything to the video.

Underrated Comment

Thanks bro. :)

Thanks. Really glad you enjoyed it. :)

R.i.p.

It kind of went that way. I've heard that Evangelion originally aired at 6:30pm, either immediately after Ninja Turtles, or replacing Ninja Turtles. Still need to find a hard source for this, I think I originally heard it from Carl Horn, editor of various Evangelion manga.

Eva Monkey wow really i wonder how kids reacted to the trippy abstract imagery then lol

TMNT aired in Japan? Was it the 80s' series or that weird anime adaptation? It's kind of funny to think of an eastern-inspired western work being adapted into a Japanese broadcast. It makes me wonder if Avatar: The Last Air Bender ever got aired in Japan.

While the later seasons were a departure in terms of tone and style, the original TMNT series did run from 1987-1996.

I saw it as a kid lol. But I had to grow up fast so a lot of it did make sense to me

hello 1 year ago me... lmao
