>>2323825The question about "why Rei is as she is in Q" is a pointless question. Regardless of the answer, the Rei as presented is distinctly inferior to the original, and is accurately and surgically changed to invoke the image of a weak uninteresting character.
The reality of the situation and your analogy is completely incompatible.
>>2323832Q is not an interesting development in the story of Rei, because it is literally nothing. It actually STOPS the story of Rei, as there is no connection between the movie for Rei as a character. There's no development or point of interest, and nothing said about the character that isn't there to purely make the character seem worse than it was in the original.
You know all of this, but you're still here pretending you're not some kind of asukafag/evageek/kaworufag troll here to cause trouble.
