Spoiler Alert: For those who saw the 3D animated Super Mario Bros. that premiered in April of this year, you may not have noticed the reference to the anime Evangelion . However, the scene shows several parts that are very similar and served as a reference, or for some, plagiarism.

Therefore, in the scenes in question from the anime Evangelion, Shiji Ikari faces angels, where the movements are practically identical to those used in the Super Mario movie.
Check out the comments:
- I feel like people didn't believe me when I first said this. Unmistakable
- The mirror image argument is what takes you from "they saw Eve once or twice" to "no, they just copied her."
- I saw the text of this tweet and thought, "Let's go." No. You're right.
- Where is the line between paying homage and simply copying the source material?
- Dude. I knew it was some kind of anime reference just from the vibes, but I didn't realize it was almost a 1-on-1 reference to Evangelion 😂
Synopsis:
Therefore, the story takes place in 2015, the world has rebuilt itself after half of humanity suffered a catastrophe known as the "Second Impact." Japan gains a provisional capital, Tokyo-2, whose government promotes the construction of the future capital called Tokyo-3. But the construction of the new metropolis serves only as a facade to erect a fortress-city with highly advanced technology to resist the offensive of the Angels, monstrous beings whose attack had already been foreseen by humanity.
Finally, what did you think of the scene? Was it plagiarism or just a reference to the anime Evangelion?
