"A wide variety of emotions in a safe environment?" What the hell is that supposed to mean? Are movie theaters not a safe place to have emotional reactions?
Imagine you're sitting in a movie theater and you start to sob and you friend goes "What are you doing? Stop it! It's not safe!!"
I agree that specialized comics are probably one of the best things about webcomics. Plus, since they're not controlled by someone in a suit (unless the artist wears a suit) and they can have content that you might never see in a newspaper.
The site of the character in Penny Arcade banging his head against the wall drawing lots of blood comes to mind, or zapping the N-Gage pimp with a cattle prod or whatever that was.
I made a webcomic 'cause I had nothing to do while unemployed and needed some type of cheap creative outlet.
I think making a movie out of EVA would be a logistical nightmare. At least with WETA working on it we know the special effects have the potential to be really good.
I'm thinking one good thing is that since this is obviously going to have an enormous budget they're not going to do something stupid like not have it stand completely on its own, because anyone paying for it wouldn't stand for that.
I can see the Shinji auditions now..."Okay, let's hear what your scream sounds like..."
