“The Angels of Evangelion are truly some of the best creature designs of all time. It’s very important for me to create something very unique as well, but I went into it with this knowledge that there’s a minimalist spectacle that we haven’t seen photographically in film.” - Jordan Peele in this interview.

He is right, they are some of the best creature designs of all time and it’s delightful to hear a major filmmaker take the right kind of inspiration from that.

It’s a little silly though that other articles immediately tried to extrapolate “which” angel inspired the entity in Nope, and seem to have settled on just this one. Now, maybe this is the one that sticks out in Peele’s mind, maybe it’s one of his favorites, who knows, but I feel like non-creative people in journalism don’t actually know what “inspiration” means or how it works and assume it’s always going to be some hidden 1:1 reference to a specific thing, rather than something that just aesthetically follows from and builds on a generalization of the source material.

Ramiel has more in common with Jean Jacket if I had to narrow it down, but none of them have enough in common with Jean Jacket to be “the” inspiration!
