What
keeps us all hooked to Eva time and time again? You get through your
initial, confused watch
of either Evangelion endgame, probably sometime in your adolescence
wondering what
the hell it is you just watched.
The original source material is
suffused
with unsettling imagery, and
sometimes too-close-for-comfort shorts. It’s
so much to process that one watch is never enough. The imagery isn’t
enough, however, because the mid-to-late-90s
series comes with things
you’ll
pick up the more you focus on certain characters’ struggles or the
interesting world-building. They arise little by little with every
re-watch, adding
onto what interested you in Eva to begin with.
There’s
always that little voice asking you “What it is that really draws
me here?”
Oh.
The
horrors.
The
tragedy of it all.
These
things never leave you the second you bear witness to them, whether
you become aware of them or not. You’re disturbed
over
it,
a tad worried, no doubt, but
you’re strangely hooked.
Horror
works better
on limitation, it’s
why found footage capturing pale, ghastly, monstrosities of the deep
wood will always stand as exponentially
terrifying.
While
most all of us have taken cracks at Eva’s budget at
some point,
that’s what really drives these terrors home. Its
low budget nature
made it work.
Evangelion
has commentary which forces a viewer to reflect. Most no one enjoys
that. It’s the fear, however, that has
its audience come back.
Evangelion’s reflection
alone isn’t what gives Eva it’s charm decades after its run.
It’s the little things, most everyone misses, the anxieties, the
terrors, all of it. Most of those things, fly over a lot of fans’
heads.
Buckle
up, there’s a lot
to go through….
