>>2282719>Your reactionary kneejerk revulsion at Rebuild for not being NGEI'd like to point out that you're the only one with a kneejerk here, I've never criticized it for not being NGE. That's your strawman argument and I resent it.
Rebuild in itself, or in context with the original, is every bit as poor and masturbatory as I've said it is. If NGE didn't exist and Rebuild was all there was, it would be a forgotten movie series nobody really cares about.
...and honestly I don't buy into your naive and unworkable point of view where you have to delude yourself with lies until you start enjoying or liking something. You DO have to be a moron, and you're being anything but smart when you're mindlessly going along for a ride you have no control of or hell, even any real interest in to begin with.
Rebuild is a lot more than just mindless robot action flicks, if you think that's what it is then you're too far off the mark to actually understand what you're talking about. The idea of it being masturbatory means that it's also peddling a specific remade version of the original, where everything is tailored to get Anno off.
Anno is quoted as saying that his production is like masturbation. Rebuild is definitely no different.
>Maybe I'm deluding myself but that's how it is for me.You are, and you've done it to the point where you come here to a Rei-thread actually implicitly defending something like Rei Q.
You're a shit fan.
