>>4383381>Coincidentally, Gendo happens to be one of my favorite charactersAs characterization and writing of the character yes I love him in that Anno managed to make me hate him.
>Gendo or the things that matteredOh this me too for the sake of plot/lore or to understand better the old man.
>not Ritsuko, always hated when she was on screen).Oh this same but all as the other characters her mother was shit
>he refused to even look in his father's eyes.Well i can't blame him desu. Gendo ignored shinji except when he needed shinji for his plan. Imagine be shinji,at 14 yo and your father look for you just to get you in a war you don't even understand. Indeed what triggers shinji to get in the Eva is Rei wounded, to avoid her to getting hurt even more.
>I understand that "normal" life was never a thing for HerInstead i think...could be possible. She was learning somehow. Maybe it's always linked to my personality but see her bonding and spending time with others makes me happy. I'm kinda supportive for all children (also why i like kaworu as he acts to shinji).
>What was Rei created for? As Lilith vessel yeah her fate probably is to reunion with her but does the origin of a person define her fate? Or more the interactions with others? If you absurdly place Rei in a normal family would she grow up as a normal girl? I don't have the the clear answer to this honestly.
Thansk for keeping me company in a boring travel in train btw.
