Asuka has the high ground there but it's not the same pose and Asuka is never pictured with that angle, only like this:
It's also different because in both scenes they are in the same space with no obstacles between them for the first time in the movie and Asuka is accusing Shinji for mostly petty reasons: "you lost a chance to pilot the Eva" / "you didn't come to help me".
It's not unexpected. There's really nothing happening in the Eva world since Q and forums are "dying" on the internet in favour of places like Facebook groups, Twitter or Reddit.
