a dvd of a movie catches your eye at a store, you buy the dvd and take
it home to watch. what's the title on the dvd? why, "Stanley Kubrick's
Neon Genesis Evangelion" (or the alternate title "Stanley Kubrick's
Neon Genesis Evangelion or How I Stopped Angsting And Learned To Love
Myself"
okay so you're watching it...what's it like, eh?
and to use less bullshitting around basically put: How do you think
Stanley Kubrick would have done a live action Evangelion?
I think the perfect and very Kubrick/Strangelove ending to the tv
series would have been to have like the universe blow up or something
right after the whole "Congratulations!" thing. It would be like the
greatest black comedy gag ever. Shinji is finally ready to stop hating
himself and truely stop running away and well.. too fucking late for
him 'cause now it's time for the universe to end completely. I say
universe instead of just world, because the world ending basically
happened in EoE, and I'd say ending the universe gives things more
closure that no one or nothing survives. ;)
or something, yeah.

I still find it questionable whether everyone really ends in EoE.
Regardless, let's imagine Kubrick took the "2001" influences already
present and ran with them.
1) Rei doesn't speak at all for the second half of the series.
2) *Asuka* doesn't speak at all for the the second half of the series.
3) Maya is replaced by a calm, emotionless red light.
4) Or maybe Ritsuko is replaced by a calm, emotionless red light...
which is sleeping with Gendo.
5) Entry plug synchronization and de-synchronization each require 10
minutes of unbroken psychedelic imagery.
6) SEELE is represented by giant stone monoliths. Oh wait...
Ritsuko: Balthazar! Initiate self destruct now!
Balthazar: I'm sorry Dr. Akagi, I'm afraid I can't do that.
Shinji: Asuka Asuka, give me your answer do
I'm half crazy, I'm beginning to think you are, too
It won't be a stylish ending
With the message EOE's sending
But we'll face hell, in LCL, in an entry plug built for two

"Half"? "Beginning"...?
