10 Movies That Are Terribly Racist About Aliens

7. Rebuild of Evangelion 1.11

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8F5lDtVWl8 Most of you probably haven't seen the Rebuild of Evangelion films. You should fix that. These movies are amazing. So is the original series. In this series, giant alien monsters known as Angels (despite the religious imagery, they aren't part of the heavenly host) come down, and wreak havoc on humanity. The only way to stop them is to create synthetic life forms from the dead tissue of the aliens, and pilot said synthetic lifeforms (Evangelion) with emotionally compromised children. Pacific Rim borrowed its plot from this. The problem comes in that the first two angels to appear in the first film don't attack first. They're big, and they do retaliate, sure, but they aren't openly hostile at first. They're just huge and in the way. They crush everything in their way the same way a three year old might step on an anthill. Humanity is barely their concern. Instead of trying to communicate with the angels (in the original series, they were actually very intelligent beings), we decide that violent retaliation is the only solution. Though, granted, if the angels do come in contact with Lilith, their mother, then that means the end of all life... ...and the third angel to appear in 1.11 does end up packing heat... ...and the angels really are just alternate possibilities for what humanity could've been in the original series... You really ought to watch Evangelion.
