I got 7,000 views so I must be doing something right.

I made this some months ago before I was even remotely skilled at using WMM, and I didn't know how to change the aspect ratio...but I've got so many views by now, that I don't want to have to take it down to fix it.

The funniest part is the reaction I got:

Officially, the video is making fun of how hardcore elitist fanboys are freaking out over the changes that the Evangelion remake series has:

now the argument is that you either change too much, or you change too little, and Rebuild actually strikes a good balance....but what it did was that the first movie starts off as a near-complete copy of the original, but then has a *twist ending* that implies that its all actually a sequel-series to the original (long story short: Reality Warp/"All this has happened before"/sort of like the end of Wolf's Rain)

Notice the part where he says that the only "real fans" are people who watched the show in the late 1990's as bootleg fansubs...and all but 4 people leave the room; saying those are the only "real fans" leaves out almost everyone.

Many watched the show when it ran off TV on Adult Swim, *including myself* and I even run Evangelion convention panels now. Thus "Adult Swim has ruined everything" is another dig at how the elitist fanboys think people who saw it on TV are lesser fans.

And of course, the other joke is that....while they say that "noobs" are rowdy....*they* are the ones that were making all the porn fanfic all these years; logically, if the "noobs" only showed up this year...who was making the crappy, self-serving Mary Sue fanart? Not the noobs.

But probably what got such a good reaction is that inside of it I bury a kernel of truth, just exaggerated to a ridiculous degree: i.e. I think it's annoying that they renamed Asuka, but this won't lead me to have a gigantic outburst declaring that "everything that makes Asuka who she is, is ruined by this change!"

...but there are in-jokes for those who've seen Rebuild: YES, there *are* more Rei-buttshots in Rebuild (as a movie not a TV series, they could get away with more)...and YES there is a new character, and she's a Mary Sue (albeit...it seems that she's more a *satire* of Mary Sue-new characters, much like Poochie from the Simpsons)

also, it hypes up the "Ginger vs Mary-Anne" -like fan feud between Asuka-fans and Rei-fans (some have asked if I make Hitler an Asuka-fan because Asuka is German...actually, that had nothing to do with it, and was purely coincidence...Asuka gets slighted in Rebuild of Eva, so Hitler has to be angry about that...while Rei gets disproportionate attention...)

and in general, I'm making fun of poorly written fanfiction...and callbacks later on are always funny ("this sequel is raping my favorite anime series...just like Asuka raped Shinji in my fanfic!")

but as I said, because it was kind of subtle, and I laced in minor criticisms (i.e. of the hikkikomori shut-in Rei fanboys) so the weirdest part was that about half the people who watched it were actually elitist fanboys themselves, who didn't realize it was a satire.

So ultimately I've got people in the comments saying they agree with everything Hitler says about the "noobs", others who realize it's a satire about people who are OVER-reacting, and some who just focus on one issue or two (i.e. are openly surprised they'd rename Asuka...it's madness)

I have been working on a sequel, but I don't have all the scenes I need. Can you help?

I was largely inspired by "Hitler hears about Dragonball, Part 2", right: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IpOdL80HRg

but the problem is that their clip of the eating scene (I don't need the Speer scene at the start) is a bit longer than the one you provide: I need the part at the end where it continues on to have the woman pilot saying basically "I bow before your genius and leadership of the fatherland" etc.

I actually need the scenes exactly as used in Dragonball above, where they capture Fegelein, and then Eva's reaction to it, with Hitler caressing her face.

I don't want an R rating, because I want it to stay up, so I promise to cut out the minor nudity that appears during the Fegelein scene.

Also, if possible, can you get the scene where they actually shoot Fegelein?

Thank you.

P.S. Hitler vs Khan was a work of brilliance: I'm the one that e-mailed it in to io9.com, where they in turn liked it enough to run it as a news item: http://io9.com/5449935/world-war-ii-the-wrath-of-khan

I can be reached at my e-mail, "Frumious99@yahoo.com"

I've got this 10 minute long story worked out for "Hitler Hears About Rebuild of Eva 2.0" but I'm missing those few vital bits.
