>>3777001You're just making excuses now.
>b-but it's not done yet!Doesn't really matter when it's been ongoing for over a decade and has defined the franchise and fandom for just as long. Rei has been downgraded while Asuka has been upgraded, this has gone on for that much time and isn't retractable by the final movie. Which by the looks of it, from ALL trailers, are set to do the exact same anyway.
>but Rebuild Asuka is substancelessand like others have said, Asukafags and the audience they're going for never gave a shit about substance. Rei doesn't have any substance either in the Rebuilds by the way.
>Her Eva handling fewer weapons is kind of a weird gripe? She got a scythe in 3.0, that was pretty cool.Rei never got a scythe, and it was garbage either way.
