Re: MariShin discussion general

Heteronormativity is one hell of a drug. ppl will see "girl & boy standing next to each other" and instantly think couple - they also did it in EoE but at least in that case Shinji and Asuka were actually portrayed to have some degree of sexual tension between them. Mari is basically t...

Re: The Curse of Eva....sigh

I mean calling it a reconcilliation is overstating it, there's talking and some closure but Gendo doesn't make it out alive & its not like they played patty cakes ever after. Also, there are no super God Men in real life; All this "I'm above silly human concers" talk is just him trying...

Re: Can we all agree that Asuka and the others just need a hug?

I think OP isn't saying that a hug would solve everything but reacting to the disproportionate hate you sometimes see like she's a terrible bitch or an abuser & terrible shit should happen to her etc. I'm very critical of her in a lot of ways and I'd be the first to say that her bullying behavio...

Re: Do you think Asuka would forgive Shinji for his actions while she was comatose?

Originally the last line was going to be something like "I'd never let you kill me" but that wasn't thought to have enough zing; (hence that lead to Anno posing that question to Miyamura for inspo) I would still interpret it like that: She touched him to stop him from killing her. The scri...

Re: Rei still makes me scratch my head

The most likely explanation is that the salvage operation produced some grotesque strips of scrambled hybrid meat which was then used to make Rei. (whereas Naoko was under the impression that they threw the results in the incinerator) Though there is also that line in the ep 23 DC where Fuyutsuki sa...

Re: Why Asuka initially rejects Shinji in Human Instrumentality

The kitchen scene in EOE where she tells him "pathetic" and then Shinji flips the table. Because she does think he's pathetic, simple as that. That's been consistent pretty much from the moment she met him, she never shuts up about how she thinks he's an idiot and a wimp. He hasn't splatt...

Re: Shinji Can (Not) Play Basketball

Interesting. Haha, that would have made for a pretty different flavor of character compared with the actual set of hobbies he ended up with (music, cooking, astronomy, some spinoffs also make him a hobby writer - all much more "soft"). Though it fits with how some of the proposal images ha...

Re: Why does Misato hate Kaji when he returns?

People being bitter towards ex-partners doesn't really need an explanation - especially since she seems to look at him as a "mistake" from when she was "young & stupid". Or that's what she tells herself, later she is forced to face that she was not emotionally honest about he...

Re: Was Asuka Awake When she Laid down next to Shinji in Episode 9?

I think she was definitely awake when she walked in, I don't get where ppl get the idea of attributing it to something as rare as sleepwalking when she's never shown to suffer from that before or after. From the sounds you hear she first just went to the toilet but then on the way back decided to pl...

Re: Did Anno originally planned on Asuka being a clone while working on NGE?

I'm pretty sure it arose later in the process, some early drafts for 2.0 even still mention her having a mother and "exploring their relationship". Probably happened around the time that the general plan for the Rebuilds shifted from "HQ remake with some tweaks" to being its own ...

Re: The Curse of Eva....sigh

What am I to relate to about Shinji accidentally-ing the world? Making a mistake can feel like the end of your personal world, though, & lead to burning bridges or making your immediate surroundings mad at you. Personally I don't see it as a "punishment" for not having 100% pure inten...

Re: Did Shinji know saving Rei would trigger 3rd impact?

I think its pretty obvious that he didn't. He has no absolute clue what is happening afterward, he's extremly confused at the results, and when he sees the ruined city in Q he's absolutely horrified. He may have thought something like "I don't care what happens so long as I get Rei out", b...

Re: The Curse of Eva....sigh

Note that there was never any actual in-universe phenomenon called "curse of EVA", Asuka was giving a vague metaphorical answer (much like Misato at the end of ep 23 when she speaks of "the people possessed by EVA") because she was very pissed-off at that moment. We are given an ...

for once I completely agree with you. This talk about how 'its all a deconstruction' is pretentious snobs wanting the thing they like to be 'pure' and 'above' other shows so they can rationalize their like of the show with dismissive attitude towards the larger genre.

Note that Mari's original is taller than Yui in this photo.

Whereas 'our' Mari is a bit taller than the other pilots but not by that much.

Re: Evangelion Pic Thread 11: Mari's Middlesex Manor of Mayhem and Fantabulous Foppery

part of me wants to be like "aww" but the other half cant ignore how incongruent it is that Misato is in her pre timeskip look. Shouldn't Kaji look older if he'd lived to see his son grown up?

basic personality traits are fairly inborn so she would probably still be loud, confident, ambitious etc. just not to an exaggerated degree & with better coping mechanisms.
