>>3351347I can understand your complaints about angels and the pacing, in RoE practically all the characters are a shadow of what they were once.
For example if we compare 2.0 Rei with NGE Rei, obviously we realize that the original version is much better, she has not even questioned Gendo, neither had a search of her identity, these aspects are extremely important for Rei.
It should be noted that comparing 2.0 Rei with NGE Rei seems unfair, because we are comparing a whole anime with a movie (but the comparison should be made with the anime). When we make this comparison we realize that 2.0 Rei has not yet has finished developing her character and thanks to 3.0 now it is impossible for Rei to achieve the same brightness that NGE Rei had.
About the plot of the cooking, my main complaint is the reason of Rei to do this, since when does she know that the relationship between Shinji and Gendo is wrong?, why Rei interested in 2.0 in doing this and not in NGE?. I do not think that this OOC but that action of Rei was too sudden
Those are my complaints about Rei, I do not see aspects extremely negative that ruin the character
Before I forget the main problem of 2.0 is Mari
2.0 is not a perfect movie nor is it at the level of EoE but it is still good and it is not garbage like 3.0
