>>2763567Utter nonsense. Rei was never emotionless in the first half. The smile you describe is in ep.5, and prior to that she gets angry and slaps Shinji. She is even introduced in a way that shows you that she suffers. You didnt wven watch NGE, or you really are a Rei hater.
>Rei Q didn't question her existence before Shinji returns...Fanwank. There is nothing that says she didnt, and nothing that says she did. A character cant be developed if it isnt established.
>This makes the message of Rebuild as Shinji and Rei become any guy and any girl. If we live our real lives with an incomplete soul and society treats us as unimportant soulless workers then we aren't taking advantage of our existence.Except for how Rei Q is the only one in that predicament and that 'message' makes no sense, nor does it fit.
