>>3352565>Asuka should not have been whitewashed into new Diet Asuka with no mental problems. HoweverI agree with that, if Anno would not have modified Asuka to make her "better" than her version of NGE (now she does not have the same problems like you said), the Asuka pandering would not exist
You would have given Asuka more time?
>the whitewashed asuka is the asuka that her fans support, not her true version.Indeed
>Mari should have been removedWithout Mari 2.0 it would be a much better movie, other characters could have taken much better advantage of the time she had
She only exists so that everyone complains about her and not about the main problem of RoE (Asuka) besides she serves as a possible couple of Asuka
>Pic related is the first time a new female was inserted in the series.I do not see it necessary post a picture of Mana in a thread of Rei
>A multitude of other complaints that people have made about 2.0 are instead retroactive complaints about 3.0 that are incorrectly applied to 2.0The problem is that we like it or not we should relate to 3.0 with 2.0
Those complaints are justified because 2.0 generates those problems, for example when Shinji said he did not care what happened to the world and in 3.0 the world was destroyed, implying that it was a big mistake that Shinji saved Rei since he was being selfish, but he was really doing the right thing, he just wanted to save a person who was important to him.
>Shinji and Rei are similar in 2.0 to their counterparts from episodes 8 to 22.I disagree, in the anime Shinji and Rei were never so close nor did they worry so much for each other, especially Shinji
>And yes, the manga had far too much Kaworu.Since 1.0 is appearing Kaworu, in 2.0 stopped the 3rd impact and in 3.0 he had his own movie. Anno one more time is promoting his favorite character
Every time that Kaworu is more relevant in a story, it goes down considerably in quality
