Re: C.T.1290 versus Asuka. Examining the good and bad.

That's rather the point though, isn't it? It demonstrates that your rather fixed pessimistic view of her really is not the only view possible, which should give you hope. As for Ghosts , do persist with it; I think it really is pretty much one of the few at the top of the heap for realism and being...

Re: During the EoE movie were Asuka, Rei, and Misato just projections in Shinji's mind?

How would she have responded if it was actually her?(which I think it might have been at that time.) Would she not so coldly rejected him as she did in Shinji's mind? As for how she feels about him, you don't think it's entirely true that she really hates him in his entirety? Or maybe she was just ...

Re: C.T.1290 versus Asuka. Examining the good and bad.

Well, the thing is, no matter what sort of answers I get in regarding Asuka's character, I still have a hard time being convinced that she can be capable of having any positive traits (other than being a good EVA pilot, of course.), e.g. her being nice to people, feeling guilty for being so mean, h...

Re: C.T.1290 versus Asuka. Examining the good and bad.

Hmm actually to say they weren't ever attracted to each other is a bit nonsensical. Though it may have been for the wrong reasons, or because they were the only ones around each other when there was no one else, they still chose to rely on each other for the comfort they were looking for. That in it...

Re: Is it impossible for Shinji and Asuka to love one another?

^ You guys seem to be taking this whole discussion on Asuka and Shinji to a negative extreme when comes to their relationship, in that there has to be a GUARANTEE of success between them, or they shouldn't even bother with each other. But the thing about relationships, if anything, is that relation...

Re: During the EoE movie were Asuka, Rei, and Misato just projections in Shinji's mind?

Wether or not these women were just projections in Shinji's head or the real deal, the fact of the matter is that Shinji felt betrayed by them due to the experiences he had with them. Misato wasn't supportive enough and too wrapped up in her own issues. Asuka was abusive towards him, and was too fo...

Re: During the EoE movie were Asuka, Rei, and Misato just projections in Shinji's mind?

The following exchange stops making sense if Shinji isn't talking to the true Misato and Asuka, though for slightly different reasons that what people have already pointed out with this quote: If Misato and Asuka are simply projections in Shinji's mind, then their actions have to be rooted in what ...

Re: Is it impossible for Shinji and Asuka to love one another?

Aww I wouldn't say it's completely out of the question >< But it's very true that currently - post 3I they're definitely not fit to love or be in a healthy relationship with anyone for that matter. Given some time I believe anyone, no matter their issues, can work through them and find a way to be h...

Re: During the EoE movie were Asuka, Rei, and Misato just projections in Shinji's mind?

Impossibiru . The whole Shinji's dialogue with Rei which follows afterwards loses its meaning if you assume the coffee pot scene happened exclusively in Shinji's mind and real Asuka wasn't involved. Emboldened for you. This very line means Shinji experienced the taste of true Instrumentality, inste...

Re: During the EoE movie were Asuka, Rei, and Misato just projections in Shinji's mind?

:???: I'll admit that I'm incredibly confused about what it is that you feel so indecisive about. If the Misato example isn't proof enough for you, I have no idea what would be acceptable. It's alright Reichu, I got a basic understanding of what I was looking for. The meaning of what I said was tha...

Re: During the EoE movie were Asuka, Rei, and Misato just projections in Shinji's mind?

Already did. Option A. Shinji's mind "projected" a version of Misato whose college sexploits were -- entirely by coincidence -- exactly the same as the real deal. Option B. Misato was linked to Shinji's mind by Rei and showed him the memory. Ya great points, but based off the analysis Sac...

Re: During the EoE movie were Asuka, Rei, and Misato just projections in Shinji's mind?

I loved the bit about Shinji visualizing them rejecting him because of his personal anxiety regarding rejection/relationships and continually shelling himself off because it coincides with his personality. In the end of the TV series him receiving applause from everyone as a sign of him finally unif...

Re: During the EoE movie were Asuka, Rei, and Misato just projections in Shinji's mind?

Yeah I can see that .. Being able to close each other off from seeing their thoughts as they gain more control wouldn't be completely out of the question. But I also think that it's equally possible for no one to be able to close off the others and that they were all forced to see each other's thoug...

Re: During the EoE movie were Asuka, Rei, and Misato just projections in Shinji's mind?

The thing with EoE is that Instrumentality is just an excuse to go from a plot heavy show to an abstract representation of what the characters are feeling. It could be interpreted many ways. Ya definitely, my original theory about them being projections in Shinji's mind or their actual selves speak...

Re: During the EoE movie were Asuka, Rei, and Misato just projections in Shinji's mind?

I'll trot out my usual response to this question -- "Yes, it was all in Shinji's mind, but it's just that everyone else happened to be using it at the time." Flipping back to TV episode 25, Gendou lays it out plainly as "All minds become one mind." Hence all the mutual revelatio...

Re: During the EoE movie were Asuka, Rei, and Misato just projections in Shinji's mind?

@Cybermat47 such a well thought out interpretation, the stroke to Shinji's cheek from Asuka followed by the "Kimochi Warui" showed great character progression and that they finally understood each other. Kind of like a despite our differences and how much we hurt each other we can find hap...

Ya it's kinda convoluted :c Like what about when Shinji was having a conversation with the 3 girls in the train ? Was that just his image of them and their personalities or was that actually their souls / beings speaking to him ? I realize that it doesn't matter since in the end they all became one ...

During the EoE movie were Asuka, Rei, and Misato just projections in Shinji's mind?

Hi, new to the forum just binge watched Evangelion and I've read a lot of details on the forum. Thanks for your guys input but onto my question. During the end of Evangelion when Shinji was having all of his thoughts as the Human Instrumentality was beginning were Rei, Asuka, and Misato just project...
