Maybe she did hate gendo. Maybe Rei2 also did.
Maybe he only was like father to her all along.
Maybe if was both mix of hate and respect.
But what seems to be most likely to me it's that the desire to HELP Shinji overcame the desire to SERVE Gendo.
>save world for the one man you love>fuck up the world for another man you loveI think she still cared about Gendo. BUT she was not his puppet. Rei used to smile for him and I don't think that reincarnation drasticly changed that.
But the time has came to get serious.
