>>2829004>You refuse to accept the reality of the matter, that there are irreconcilable differences between Rei and Khara's hateful reimagining of Rei.Every Rebuild character is different. The mistake the anti-Q cult has made is in declaring giving Eva fans is something different Is an insult. Rei moved from one-of-three shared lead female status with Asuka and Misato in the original series to front and center plot focal point.
>>2829036>And now what? Just a shy girl?Q is not just a shy girl and just because you never liked her doesn't mean she has no value.
>>2829073>I prefer the original of course, but it was nice seeing Rei have some happy moments, even if she did become a bit generic.PokaRei was interesting because it was a continuation of the path Rei was on in the original series before the dark times began. Without the last few angels the series turns into a Tenchi series.
>>2829081>Do you remeber when 2.22 came out?>Asuka eclipsed Rei in popularity becauseshe got a new plugsuit and an off-screen disaster. Aside from a 2 minute action intro she is weak competition for Shinji's attention and ends up not being in the end fight while Mari does amazing new things with Unit 2.
The conspiracy theory that Rebuild 2 was designed to make people hate Rei and love Asuka instead is pure insanity.
