Re: Why I Don't Like Mari
To clarify what I just said: - I am not saying that disliking Mari necessarily means you can't get over NGE. - I am not saying that there are no valid reasons for disliking Mari. - I am not dismissing all complaints about Mari as simple butthurt over the differences between NGE and NTE. What I am sa...

Re: Why I Don't Like Mari
Most of these complaints don't make a lot of sense. She hogs screen time? She barely has any. She speaks multiple languages? So do most people who aren't Americans (literally -- being monolingual is the rare exception around the world, not the norm, to the point where it would be noteworthy if some...

Re: 3.33 English dub released, your thoughts after watching?
I'll have to rewatch the dub at some point, as I can't recall any missteps on Keith's part apart from the line about Shinji near the end. Nothing else really jumped out at me, which is a big change from her performance in NGE. Her line at the end is the only individually significant misstep; the ot...

Re: 3.33 English dub released, your thoughts after watching?
I agree re: Keith's rendition of her line at the end, but I thought she was pretty good otherwise. Can't agree re: Grant; I still cringe every time she opens her mouth. Agreed re: Jewell, he was one of the better parts of the dub. Tiffany Grant doesn't grate on me the way she does you and others. N...

Re: Why Is Liking 2.22 Bad?
In my headcanon, Mari is Kaji's spy/agent whom he sends to keep tabs on Shinji, precisely because he fears Shinji's instrumental role (no pun intended) in the HIP. Thus, when she lands on Shinji in 2.0 and smells him, she's simply ecstatic that she's identified her target -- the cat has found its qu...

Re: Why I Don't Like Mari
Yeah, I don't think all the fan service works, either. Better to blame that on a particular directorial choice, though, than Mari as a character. It'd be like holding Asuka personally responsible for the on-screen victimization of her groin and ass crack. It's silly. Exactly, though I suspect this ...

Re: Is Gendo already dead?
I think Fuyutsuki is just speaking metaphorically when he said Gendo sacrificed his own soul as a way to underline the extreme lengths to which Gendo is willing to go in pursuit of his higher goal. Fuyutsuki doesn't approve of many of Gendo's choices (especially his handling of Shinji), but he's to...

Re: Do people still hate Evangelion 3.33?
This is the Empire Strikes Back of Rebuild. It starts off, like ESB, kinda-sorta where we left off, but also, not at all where we left off. You get the sense that so much has happened since we last parted ways with this world. And it has. And so much continues to change as the movie unfolds. Are tho...

It will be interesting to see whether the new remastering will finally get licensed for English release as a complete set for the first time; but whoever does that then has the business of either getting the rights to the existing dubs from two different companies, or of redubbing the lot... If it ...
