>>2169489> The lunacy is in the instance that Rei Q is not Rei the same way Misato is not Rei and Gendo is not Rei and Pen-Pen is not Rei.But isn't that the exact case? Rei Q is a clone and so is Rei, but that doesn't make them any less different people.
Rei in the original proves that in NGE, and conceptually people are more than just the sum of their parts.
Rei Q being the same would destroy that.
>>2169496I wouldn't know, I have one volume of it and it's extremely BLEH. Basically maximum poka-poka Rei, meaning it's not for me.
>>2169497You messed up the quote.
But you're right, there is no winning here. Rei is shafted either way.
>>2169498Truth is we do need "that guy" who posts Rei Q, if only to actually have that other side of the argument. The devils advocate if you will.
