Talk:Theories about Rebuild

Has any theorization related to the "sequel theory" (if it could really be called a theory) actually been done this extensively outside of the Wiki anywhere? I mostly just see people point at things like Red Earth, lunar blood splotches, white outlines, and cryptic Kaworu dialogue and go, "ZOMG REBUILDZA SEQUEL!!!!1111"

I've also never seen the Ramiel thing before in any form whatsoever and I don't think this kind of "untested theory pluggin'" belongs on the Wiki... (Although I'm sure it's all over the place and yet to suffer the hickory switch.) --Reichu 19:39, 21 January 2008 (PST)

It's on the forum, part of my "Kaworu as John the Baptist" theory...sorry, I've gotta rush now, or I'd provide the link. "Kaworu Baptist" should do for a search term.

I wrote the "Rebuild as Sequel" theory writeup. I based it on the widespread discussion in the forums. I have tried to explain it to the best of my ability, and as I am an "evil genius", yes the write-up I created here is more thorough than anything else on the internet; it hasn't been done this extensively outside of the wiki. Just because its what I wrote doesn't mean its what I think is "best", and I really hope it gets some good tweakage. Nonetheless, you can see that it is more or less trying to coherently explain the "rebuild as sequel" theory.

As for the "Kaworu and Ramiel" stuff, that was written by UrsusArctos, Reichu. I do not understand or believe in it. You haven't seen the Ramiel thing before in any form whatsoever? I asked UrsosArctos that if he wanted it to stay, he should create a thread explaining it in the forums but he hasn't yet. Yes, I fully believe this is "untested theory pluggin". Granted my writeup of the "rebuild as sequel" theory may not be perfect, but it is nonetheless both a widespread and fairly grounded theory. As I have said before, if we let people post up untested theories on the wiki, we become the equivalent of the "Commentary of Doom", disproportionately promoting shaky theories. I really want to take that Kaworu/Ramiel stuff down, at least for the moment. That's not to say it doesn't "belong" or that UrsosArctos has done a bad job, but these things need to be "tested" first by putting them to discussion on the forums: it's been acknowledged that at this point in time, UrsosArctos' theory has not yet been put to discussion in the forums. Please do that and if it does well (which I actually hope it does, if it turns out to be true) we'll put it back on here, by Reichu's command. --V 20:22, 21 January 2008 (PST)
