The Curse Of The EVA

Description

Heheh... Yeah, Maritn found out that the first episode of Evangelion took place on June 22nd, 2015. So sadly this is a day late. But it involves the third Rebuild movie which has a time-skip of like 14 years, so I guess it evens out. .... Spoilers, by the way.

Honestly, this is just something we had sitting around waiting in line, but between being in an EVA mood and the date we figured we could submit it now. If I'd known that particular date was coming up I'd have drawn something specifically for the occasion. As it is this was just an idea I had a while back I thought would be cute.

Basic concept is that we find out in Rebuild 3 that a side-effect of synchronizing with an EVA unit is that it "locks" your age permanently at the age you were at when you started piloting, hence why Shinji, Asuka and Mari haven't aged in spite of the time-skip. .... If you're curious about my thoughts on the movie, I really, really loved the third Rebuild film, I felt it took a lot of things in new directions that also really made logical sense, but with that said the "Curse of the EVA" thing being an excuse for why these three don't age is really stupid.

Didn't feel at all bad for mocking it by way of having the "Curse Of The EVA" actually shave off a couple of years instead. Hope you all enjoy. ^^ Hell, why isn't someone commissioning us for EVA stuff?

Martin's Comments: Guess we'll just aim to do something with Rei's giant bleeding head for New Year's Eve this year then, go for that date at least.
    
Not sure what all I have to say here, but do like how the pic came out. Not seen the Rebuild movies myself, don't want to either; in particular don't like what I've heard about 3, especially the whole thing that was the driving force of this picture. The whole, "Time passes, but the characters don't really age so it's okay!" thing is just bullshit and something I in general do not like as a plot device. It even annoyed me hearing Final Fantasy 13-3 does that and I couldn't possibly bring myself to care about those games no matter what the circumstances. Just lazy and stupid in general, and usually just makes you wonder why they even bothered with a time skip at all then.
    
Granted guessing given the nature of it they're probably going to end the fourth one, assuming it ever gets made, with some big cosmic retcon or everyone dying horribly or something (though I'm inclined to expect a pseudo-happy ending), just because that isn't the kind of shit you get to leave hanging. We'll see though I guess, or at least some will see and I'll just hear about it because not actually interested in watching the thing.
    
Anyway, yeah. I could easily keep ranting about this and have some other stuff relating to it I want to bring up, but I'll pass. Something something :iconwright-as-rayne: and :iconblue-blood-heroes:.

"Why's Misato tr-treating me like... like my Dad did?!"

Great, now I'm thinking of Gendo as a sloppy housekeeper who chugged his weight in beer every morning when he was younger!
