The Only Evangelion Re-Make That Ever Need Be Made
TR reader Phil tipped me off to this video from 2008. My apologies if you’ve seen it already, although it doesn’t appear that many people have (at least according to its YouTube page), and frankly, everyone needs to see this. Someone has basically edited a masterpiece in which G.I. Joe invades NERV, which is not only awesome but makes a great deal of sense, frankly. If watching Joes mercilessly kill the men and women of NERV doesn’t make you smile, I guarantee you will when EVA Unit-02 launches. Suffice to say this is the greatest cartoon of all time.
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
