>>2197377In the case of Rei Q you can actually tell that finishing the story won't help or improve things, since the time wasted in 3.0 on stagnating Rei and mocking Rei through Rei Q, isn't coming back. It's damage that's already done, it's like a bomb mid-explosion that's paused, you don't say that the things that are ruined aren't because the explosion isn't over yet.
It's a new rendition that's objectively less than it used to be, and with nothing new to compensate for that.
Rei Q isn't Rei, and even that is a pointless question IMO, since Rei Q is horrible either way.
Rei was never a "Mary Sue" so you're just completely off with that statement too.
