>>2176896Asuka has been treated like a princess. She's been called a princess, literally too. Anyone who says Asuka has been treated "bad" is wrong, pure and simple. She's been treated no worse than any other main cast character.
It's obvious the character has been rewritten to emphasize it's strengths rather than it's flaws, and the existing flaws of the original are removed and there is written in new strengths instead.
Where Rei, we have the opposite trend, strengths are removed, and weakness is introduced. Rei Q can barely think.
These are all irrefutable facts of the new movie series.
Debating character quality is another issue, and a pointless one because ALL characters suffer a drop in quality. They are all, more or less equal in that regard.
