>>2169124>>Part of Rei is. Part of her is not.>Where's your source on this?The fact that Rei Q speaks to Shinji telepathically.
>At least you can agree this makes for a weaker character than the original for no good reason.I can agree I don't care for the story as it is being told. By that definition "weaker" and "no good" are fit descriptions. I disagree with "weaker" and "no good" in the sense others are using as if Rei Q was something like a new Mari, an invented character who happens to look like Rei. That's not what Anno is doing with Rei Q and it is silly to suggest that, even as bad as he has messed up his franchise.
