see, it just doesn't make sense that they'd work against each other toward the same end. for most of the time, it seems like Seele wants to make sure the third impact and the human instrumentality project don't happen, while it seems like gendo is working things to try to ensure they do happen, but make it look like he tried to stop them...then all of a sudden, Seele sends out their mass-produced evas to make sure it DOES happen...it's like, why not just let Gendo do it and why bother invading Nerv and killing everybody? i think they tried to get too cute and too 'heady' here and they wrapped themselves in web they couldn't get back out of




also, Rei could just as easily have been revealed as the "final" angel...honestly, it would have fit in with a lot of the rest of the show and it would have been a VERY satisfying shocker/twist.

Well, because to the rest of the world, that's why NERV exists, to stop third impact. SEELE wouldn't let Gendo do it because instrumentality basically lets man remake the world as he sees fit (hence Shinji reshaping the universe as he sees fit several times over in Episode 26 of the TV show and seen in a much more overt fashion in EoE). SEELE's goal was to be at the head of the mass consciousness instrumentality would have created. Gendo's goal was only to see Yui again, and that would have been fine and well (In fact, it's possible that Gendo just would have created a world without the Angels in which Yui stayed alive) but it's not what SEELE had planned and plotted for.

I'm honestly a little baffled about all this discussion about this series. I watched it and just felt meh on it. I can't honestly say I've given it much thought since watching it...though I do love the Rebuild series, it still hasn't really struck me enough to spend 5 pages debating its merits :dunno:
