-web

-android

Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:

it seemed to work out for humanity in the end

Isn't it the one where the kid gathers all the power he needs to stop the invaders from destroying the world, and uses it to destroy the world by himself?

Not sure if you're referencing some other media, or any of the Eva movies that aren't canonically linked to the show, but in the show

spoilerNERV triggers Instrumentality, which, without much explanation, merges all human consciousnesses into 1 hive mind consciousness which may or may not have something to do with Rei being Shinji's mom, and may or may not have to do with Evas being living creatures borne of Lilith, and somehow eliminates the Angel threat. Shinji's abandonment complex is neatly resolved by him realizing that the military people forcing him to fight were right all along and that being in the military is awesome if you aren't afraid to be outgoing.
