Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo → Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo. – The fullstop is at the end of the official title, and a new user completely botched up things by performing a copy-paste move. —Ryulong (竜龙) 00:42, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

• Oppose - See Talk:Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone#Move?. – Allen4names 05:24, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
  • If you look at the logo on the website you can see the full stop.—Ryulong (竜龙) 06:00, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
• Comment WP:OFFICIALNAME and WP:COMMONNAME. Which is the common name form? Common names are preferred over official names. 76.65.128.132 (talk) 07:59, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
  • Because the name does not exist in English language sources yet, it would appear that the most common name is the one appended by a full stop.—Ryulong (竜龙) 08:17, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
    • Hmm... I seem to see "Evangelion 3.0 Q Quickening"... since the film was renamed today... I guess no English language sources have caught up yet, it being New Year's Day and all... how about holding off for a week, and checking for English sources again? 76.65.128.132 (talk) 08:36, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
      • It would have been moved today, but a newbie did a copy-paste move and prevented anyone from doing it. So therefore, we do have a common name "You Can (Not) Redo." and therefore we should use that title until other reliable sources say otherwise.—Ryulong (竜龙) 08:42, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

Japanese title’s “literal” translation

Regarding the content of the {{Nihongo}} template at the beginning of the article, how is “Ｑ” literally translated from Japanese as “Quickening”? —Frungi (talk) 05:18, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

I’ve changed this to "Evangelion: The New Movies: Q", where the "Q" stands for "Quickening", but that seems a bit wordy. It’s the best solution I can come up with to explain the Q though, since the Japanese name is referenced nowhere else in the article. —Frungi (talk) 06:15, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

Plot Summary

Definitely needs more polish - has malapropisms and other errors, such as "Misato's plea" hanging without pretext. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.59.72.22 (talk) 02:27, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

This article is so unbelievably poorly written. Just one long string of unlinked insider-knowledge references and jargon, with no coherence whatsoever. And what links there are, are simply to boilerplate non-Evangelion articles and definitions (atmospheric reentry!? really?).

What is SEELE? The Mark drones? What is WILLE...why/how was it formed "to destroy NERV"? What is the Wunder and what's it's full relevance? How is Shinji's mother its control system? What is Third Impact? Fourth Impact? How does decapitating a Mark release an Angel? How/why is that Angel then "absorbed" by an Evangelion? If Asuka blows up Unit 02 then how does she survive to drag Shinji at the end? What does it mean that Unit-02 was "recovered" at the end if it was blown up? What is Terminal Dogma? What are the spears and why does it matter if they're the same or different? How would they undo Third Impact? What is Lilith? What is LCL? What is the point of the chokers and how do they really work? What is the point of Kaoru taking Shinji's? What is the point with him basically killing himself with it (for Shinji's sake?)?

I can add quite a bit more but I think the point's made. This doesn't need "edits", it needs a complete rewrite. In it's current form, it may as well not even be on the site...it qualifies as all but unreadable as far as I'm concerned, especially for a Wikipedia article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 223.219.46.50 (talk) 14:23, 5 September 2014 (UTC)

Music & homage & spoiler

Does someone have a good source for all the homages to Gainax's Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water, most notably the music&visuals during that early scene? --188.195.195.21 (talk) 18:41, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

Appropriate release news.

There is a source in the article with regards to the postponement of 3.33's DVD/Blu_Ray release in the west that would otherwise be unsuitable as it's a Facebook page. I've found a more 'from the horse's mouth' link here:

http://www.funimation.com/blog/2014/12/23/watch-1-11-and-2-22-on-12-27/

The post is also much more recent, having been made 23 December 2014 rather than in July. Should we switch the source? Gistech (talk) 08:28, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

Anglo-centrism in the Critical Reception section

The critical reception section of this article includes only English sources, and provides no information regarding the domestic reception of the film by Japanese audiences and critics. Ddevault (talk) 18:25, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

A valid point, though a machine translation (via DeepL) of the Japanese article's reception section suggests that the domestic reaction was similar to the international POV. AngryHarpy‍^talk 18:51, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

I'll put in some. I recall Hiroki Azuma made some scathing criticisms of the film, and he's particularly noteworthy not just because of his own notability, but also because he interviewed Anno more than once. It also contrasts with his warm response to 3.0+1.0. I'd also like to get a more solid Production section at some point too, like I did for 3.0+1.0 and I suppose at some point for the other films as well. They'll release the CRC interviews probably later this year so there'll be lots of material too. FelipeFritschF (talk) 21:36, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
