Overheard a debate about the ending of Neon Genesis Evangelion at a coffee shop
Two people were arguing about whether the movie or the TV ending was the 'real' one (they got pretty heated, honestly). It made me realize how much the discussion around a show can be just as interesting as the show itself, you know? Has anyone else found themselves more into the fan theories than the actual plot sometimes?

Oh man, the debate IS the real ending.

Totally agree with that. The whole last act feels like the actual point of the story, not just the stuff that comes after. It's where all the themes finally click into place. The rest is just setup for that final conversation. Calling it a debate is perfect because it's the real climax.

That final debate's power comes from all the quiet moments before it.
