I'd like to see Asuka become military instructor yelling "MOVE YOUR ASS". She's definitly got the attitude for it. :D

Regarding Shinji, most of my thoughts have already been stated in previous comments. Becoming a regular salary man enjoying a quiet uneventful life. Now, the only thing i disagree with his love life. Once he matures, i think his personality would level out. I could see him having a nice little romance with someone quiet like him.
Maybe if you shut up and stop over analyzing everything you just might get it........

Kensuke: He's the only one whit a real bright future seeing how he is the only one not mess up toward the end. Even the manga had him pop up after 3IP. This guy can be anything he wants, action hero, build computers, the boss of his own company etc.... As for him being a BB at Nerv? I don't think so. Would nerv even be around? Who in the hell would work there after people were all killed for no reason? I don't know if he'll become a family man buy if he does it would be whit a female that is less troublesome. And he see all the females as being troublesome whit Asuka being the most troublesome of them all. Yet Ken don't seem like the type to hold a grudge so I can see him becoming friends whit angry red and see how far things go between the two.


Asuka: Fans think she gonna just get over her personal issue when she get older. That's wrong. Asuka will always be a angry famale whit psrosnal issue. So what if she learn to control herself better as adult,those issue won't go away. She has action girl written all over her but what kind of action girl? Soldier, bounty hunter, assassin etc... One thing for sure. She not gonna be some wife of psycho weeping on a beach. Of course every action girl needs a goofy sidekick to balance her off. Kensuke would be a perfect fit.

Rei:I think she would become a profersonal fictional writer. She spent more time when her head in books and could careless about anything tech related. I guess she would write about doom romance stories. Kind of like the story of her own life.

Shinji: Sorry, I see no bright future for this one. He turn his back on everyone important to him, run away from his problems and then goes psycho on the entire world! Don't sound like a guy whit a bright future to me. Someone say Shinji earn a happy ending? Just what did he do to earn it? That boy never earn anything in his life,everything was given to him on a siver plater. Now in this 3IP world he gonna have to work to get what he want. I find it funny people think he gonna be a action hero when the guy shows he don't have the stomach or desire to be such thing. I see Shinji becoming the one thing as a adult......a bumb. :lol:

People like that tend to stay on level zero...

Actually Shinji as an adult? Just read Dilbert series. That would be Shinji's life at best. Just without Dilbert's actually usefull skills and even less respect. But that would be Shinji's adulthood in a nutshell.

Strictly speaking how old are we talking here. As the term "adult" can vary by age for some
people.

What makes you think I have prejudice? I only work with what Anno gave me and if you think about it, Dilbert is most likely future for Shinji. Hell, Alice from Dilbert may be future of Asuka.

I was not aware that Dilbert was a former child soldier who became the scapegoat for the debacle that ended the world.

You keep saying you "only work with what Anno gave (you)", but your posts don't reflect that. If they did you'd be noting that Shinji was very popular with his classmates, and that he at least appeared to make some major breakthroughs regarding his issues in EoTV. The fact he had a really unpleasant time of it for a few weeks after he got back to reality doesn't change any of that. So it's less "work(ing) with what Anno gave (you)" than it is "making shit up and trying to pass it off as fact".

I said that Dilber was the best possible outcome. The child soldier trauma may fuck even that.

Shinji was popular because he was a pilot. Without that he is so averege he could be invisible.

So I'm not making shit up. Just because I'm outnumbered in my opinion here, doesn't make it invalid.

Dilbert is very realistic person. He has more flaws then he has valors, and what valors he have, come bite him back in the ass. He already come to conclusion that being fair and honest work doesn't pay off, and that no matter what he will do, somehow will turn out meaningless. And actually... He is right. When actually by some sheer luck he gained power, he fucked it up, proving he can't ever be anything more than he already is.

That's pretty much what Shinji is. His flaws make him fuck up, his good will make him fuck up, when he goes all GAR like many people wanted him to... He fucks up.

Yes I'm very much working with what Anno gave me, so stop growling on me when I have different opinion than most.

It does when you don't offer anything of note to substantiate it and the opposition offers plenty to refute it. We have an awful lot of evidence indicating that Shinji's popularity was helped by his piloting, but was not dependent on it.

No, you're not, and for one simple reason: most of the time Shinji didn't fuck up. He has exactly one fuckup that can be lain at his feet in the whole damn story, and that concerns one person and one person only. With everything else he either did a pretty darn good job or was used as a scapegoat by a bunch of grumpy old men and a space god who no longer gave a fuck. That's what Anno gave us.

Actually yes. But I think I give up now. That post of yours just proved that no matter what I say, does not matter to you. You will just go with Stillborn=irrevelant, so fine, you won.

If you're not in the Rebuild forum you're talking about the original continuity unless specified otherwise.
