If they ever do a live action version of Evangelion, I will be curious to see how they approach the plug-suits and whether or not they still cast 14 year-olds as pilots.
Actually, the way that the Eva series portrays the pilots (as real people, young, with real serious issues, among which are their oncoming adulthood and sex themes) I don't see how the Eva series can ever be accurately done as a live action. Western audiences would be too squicked/uncomfortable with the topic and if they make the characters older, then their "drama" will seem petty since it is "early teen drama" issues (like "why doesn't my dad love me?" and "how do I get the boy/girl that I like to pay attention to me?" If adults were to have roles like that, they would appear even whinier than both of the Skywalker men.
Doesn't seem to be the appropriate place to post this... But okay...
Live action Eva would be an abomination without even factoring in all the mistakes and things that would be done wrong in directing and casting.
