Ouch! i know that it's true that you shouldn't give away everything in a story up front but honestly in Eva there are a few constants that are observed and when those constants are removed or changed without reason it leaves the reader with out drive to find out in most cases.

The two biggest ones being Shinji and Tokyo 3. While i don't hate on strong ACC's (Or in this case DJ himself like most of my peers seem to) i would have had an impossible time attempting to read this work without the clarification given to me in this thread.

And i'm certainly NOT anything that video implied!
