The end beach scene ?????
TL
I have read the FAQ answer to the beach scene where Shinji strangles
Asuka.
I am not satisfied with the time lapse issue and the fragile psyche
answer.
Shinji has strangled Asuka before when she refused to help him deal with
issues(?).
Okay, I have no better answer. Does anyone have an alternative view or a
better answer than the one in the FAQ?

The short answer is, there is no answer. Keep in mind as well that
Asuka's final line, "I feel sick" or however you want to translate it
was ad-libbed by the Japanese voice actress at the time, so we don't
even know the director's original intentions as written in the script
for the end.
Like so many other things, the interpretation of this final scene
depends heavily on your interpretation of the rest of the series, your
perception of the nature of the characters, and of course your own
biases. So, sorry, I don't have much of a better answer, although much
has been written about it. Try searching this newsgroup on Google Groups
back a few years, for instance.

Easy, this is an apocalyptic postmodern deconstructionist existential
spoof of American beach movies.

Well, I for one didn't see the original post. (My anime-newsgroup
reading is not yet that widespread.)
And I find myself... somewhat startled... to be counted among such
company after less than two months of posting here...

"2501" just decided to troll it over to the RAAM, RAAF, and AFU newsgroups
to take a cheap shot at "The Almighty Guardians," who unlike him/her have a
brain and a life.
BTW, here is that initial post.

4.3.9 Why is Shinji strangling Asuka at the end?
------------------------------------------
We don't know how long either of them were there on the beach, we
don't know how long Shinji may have been alone in the world, and
we don't really know if Asuka just happened to materialize during
that scene, or if she had returned sometime earlier. At any rate,
if Shinji returned to an empty world, even if for a few days, the
feeling of being the only person left in the world can be a very
disturbing though. With Shinji, that thought would be even more
disturbing, especially if he began to blame himself for TI. We've
seen how fragile both Shinji's and Asuka's psyches can be. It may
not take much to push Shinji over the edge, into a state of mild
psychosis. Anno does give some clues that Shinji had been back on
Earth for some time, but there's no solid evidence to show how
long he'd been there. And we don't see Asuka return per se, so
she may have been with Shinji for some time.
This is from the EVA movie, not anime.
