Re: Did Asuka and Misato really hate Shinji in 3.0?

If she cared for him as someone more than just a prisoner she wouldn't have attached it in the first place and worked on actually having Shinji trust her and the rest of Wille instead of giving him the treatment he got. Its been 14 years of war due to no small part to him, and he is potentially sti...

Re: Did Asuka and Misato really hate Shinji in 3.0?

I'm not blaming her, I'm just responding to the implications that they actually had some sort of care for him, that care though was clearly that of a prisoner with a slight level of unjust resentment. But that topic has been debated to death. If she didn't care for him she would have killed him whe...

Re: Did Asuka and Misato really hate Shinji in 3.0?

Which is why I'm not saying they hate him, but they certainly don't have much care either. The choker was still set to activate in the event of an awakening, and as far as the movie goes to show, Misato has no idea it was on Kaworu when it went off. She still couldn't bring herself to do it manuall...

Re: Debate the quality of Rebuild here. [2]

Its seems a lot of Shinji fans don't like the rebuilds or at least Q very much. Ironically its because they are so Shinji focused. He is the only one to have his flaws exposed. Asuka, Misato, Rei(arguably), even Ritsuko are all generally more likable and less flawed than in NGE. In fact they are all...

Re: Waking Up from Instrumentality

You guys are assuming that coming back is the desirable result, that Instrumentality is a test to pass rather than a nirvana to be embraced. It's a movie, not a documentary. If other people coming back was relevant to the message of the film, the film would show us other people coming back. It isn'...

Re: Waking Up from Instrumentality

^ I would lean yes for Maya and Kaji, but no for Naoko. Maya didn't seem too obsessed with Ritsuko, we don't have a lot of information but she seems a pretty positive and compassionate person. Kaji may have been depressed about how everything was turning out in his life and/or the state of the world...

Re: Waking Up from Instrumentality

I've always assumed that Shinji being in charge of instrumentally gets to go out first simply by making it possible. Asuka follows because she can't stand being in it. After being brutally murdered, having all her fears and insecurities shown to everyone isn't exactly what she wants. Before she was ...

Re: Impact trigger disrepancy

He doesn't necessarily have to become passive again because of it it depends on how WILLE handle things. He can be punished for his actions, I don't know how they would punish him really, put him in a cell for a week perhaps? Yell at him? I think if anything Shinji can be punished but also be given...

The problem I have is not that Shinji is an innocent scapegoat being wrongfully punished, but that he actually is in the wrong. He does need to be humbled and punished instead acting out on his own again making ...

Re: Impact trigger disrepancy

I think I have to agree somewhat with stillborn, Shinji is almost in a situation where he can do no right. On one hand he is too immature, impulsive, and selfish to be making any big decisions on his own. Yet if he just listens to the authorities be they NERV, WILLE, or even Kaworu he isn't going to...

But let's say 3I is averted then I suppose it depends on Asuka herself. If she gets the help she needs in that time to resolve her issues I could maybe see her tryin...

Re: From Your Lips to the Author's Ears: Story Ideas

Some ideas: Reading with Rei: The library/book store where Rei gets her books is replaced with an incompetent staff. So somehow she always ends up with the wrong books. Instead of her usual genetics/biology text she ends up with whatever the author wants. She can pick up a philosophical text, a sapp...

Re: Impact trigger disrepancy

I hope your right. In eva the blame usually can be spread around and not pinned on one person. The biggest problem I had with the rebuilds so far is that it 3.33 seems to be about a young man avoiding his due punishment. It seems to be saying that due to Shinji's desire to find a quick and easy way ...

Re: Shinji a Misogynist?

I could see Shinji growing up to be a resentful "nice guy" type in the future if he had never had become a pilot.He might already bit of a gender traditionalist (what do you expect from a 14 year old really?) but I don't think Misato or Asuka being more lady-like would have made Shinji mor...

I know she only given the ranking of Captian, but she behaves as though she has more authority than that, and there's no Admiral meantioned anywh...

Or rather, he's good at spewing bullshit and claiming that anything that happens, no matter the particulars, plays into his hands.

I would like them to go with the TV style end, not a mind trip but leaving EVA/angels/nerv/ behind and just focusing on the characters. I'd like it to be about Shinji slowly regain trust over many months or years. One of eva's messages is that there is no easy way to happiness or having good relatio...
