Alaska, Mr. Tines and I, among others, have offered reasonable counter-arguments to your position. Why are you so dead set on hating a character whose only sin is being a bratty child? What exactly did she do that elevated her from "wow, she's unpleasant" to "she's irredeemab...

LOL. Bagheera jumped in because of this comment, at least attempt to be honest. The argument over Asuka started in the Rebuild Forum, it was simply moved here. My exact words were "That's depressing, I actually liked Asuka in 2.0". @Alaska: I'm not condemning her for being a 14 ye...

I'm just gonna add +1 to Alaska's comment here and call this little subthread done. There's just nothing to be done when the opposition's so hell-bent on being irrational. I'm not being irrational. I don't have to like Asuka to be rational. I gave you my reasons, you however...

Yeah, that's the problem. You're still acting like she has to redeem herself when she has less blood on her hands than anyone else in the main cast. Call her what you will, but she's not the one who wrecked the world -- your "quiet ones" are the ones who did that. You might wa...

How is it moot? You claimed Asuka was an awful person, and you were wrong. She isn't. She's just a troubled teen in desperate need of a good parent. The main problem here is that, instead of saying "that's bad behavior, someone needs to straighten her out" you're saying &q...

Mind you, none of this makes Asuka's behavior okay; it was still bloody intolerable no matter how you look at it. But she was not acting in a vacuum, and she was not by any means the only one at fault for the way things deteriorated -- everyone in that household was doing things a different fla...

Maybe I'm just speaking with personal experience here, but with your brother/sister, certain walls come down, and they'd generally go after one another on a different level then one would normally dare go after with most other family members, and some more casual friends. That is more of a ...

If you mean the INSTRUMENT part in Instrumentality, then i got the joke. It's just that other posts are also being serious.

Gotham City perhaps? :tongue: That was funny, considering I just mentioned TDKR earlier. But it seems to me that when I see you guys talk about something. Even the tiniest thing has some big important purpose with Eva. But maybe this whole Piano business is just Anno's way of trying to spice th...

I don't see where Instrumentality could play a part. It could just be a new form of advertisement.

Seriously guys, I don't know how to get Instrumentality from pianos. Aren't you over analyzing a bit?

Um . . . that's not how kids work. They're nowhere near that simple, particularly when they're teenagers. I was. And many quiet ones that I have supervised were. When I do watch over kids, it doesn't matter the age. I will reward honesty with trust. However it is usually the trouble...

Yes. It is incredibly arrogant for someone to assume he knows what's going on inside a child's head when the child doesn't communicate his/her feelings. You don't know what's going on with her. You are not all-seeing. You just assume she's alright because she hasn't give...

Why are we not allowed trailers this early before release? Western films show their trailers even earlier (Example would be TDKR showing a trailer a full year before release). Is it Taboo over there?

I say it's too early for a trailer. Didn't the other two films have trailer only two months before release?

Ugh, that is some wait time.

FINALLY STEAM.

Supreme Commander 2 DLC is cheaper then the game itself (only three bucks, fuck yeah). I have been waiting for it to drop in price for years due to the fact that I wasn't going to pay more for the DLC when the game itself is cheaper.

You seem to be forgetting the biggest part of EOE to prove your point. I'll paraphrase it for you. "Hey Rei, be a dear and kill everyone for me." "Sure Ikari-Kun, then will engage in metaphysical incest before I let you kill me." Shinji didn't want to kill everyone from ...

Rei, obviously.

At that point in instrumentality he doesn't need to. it is instrumentality all humans are lacking their AT fields so Shinji's mind is a open book to Rei. Having dealt with many temperamental children I can tell you most of what Asuka did is pretty standard for young children. Ah but before ...

In your opinion. Many other people who've dealt with kids disagree. She doesn't have to "win". You're just making claims about her that aren't true and we're pointing out why that's a problem. (and you're one to talk about "can't win for losing&quo...

Every blinking moment? Tis a bold statement for sure. Either way, it certainly sounded that way from the tone of your posts, and even if you were in charge of taking care of kids (Have you?), you'd find that its not quite as easy as one would think, aside from sitting in a corner of the...
