>>3624270I'm convinced the writing is just straight up bad.
Lilith is shown to be on the moon in 2.0 (at least iirc it's in 2.0) and having Evangelion armor fitted over her. This image says it's unit 13, but I'm pretty sure it's Unit 6
>>3624252. The thing on the cross in 1.0 has the same angel mask as the angel from the first episode
>>3624252 >>3624249Now in the climax of 3.0, the corpse here
>>3624270 seems to still be the angel thing from the cross, which would probably make it the 12 angel (spear is still in it), not the Evangelion we're shown twisting when Asuka detects the 12 angel
>>3624255 ... intentional audience misdirection
But from what I can tell (and here is why it's bad) there's a massive plot hole between 2.0 and 3.0: where it's completely unexplained why Kaworu would mistake the thing in central dogma for Lilith, when he presumably knows Lilith is inside Unit 6 (maybe he didn't, which would make things make more sense, but he's clearly shown to see Lilith on the moon here
>>3624261)
I can only assume Anno is relying on the audience being confused in order to be able to repeat the frenetic confusion of episode 24, and have Kaworu have a dramatic realization that remains esoteric to the audience, just like in Ep. 24.
That's my take.
