>>2756543>Are you kidding? There is no Asuka in Rebuild 1. Why should there be? There was no Asuka in the first six episodes of NGE either. Does that make NGE anti-Asuka?
>Asuka gets corrupted and unable to pilot by the end of Rebuild 2 while Shinji's love for Rei powers Eva 01 and could remake the entire universe.Complete and absolute fanwank.
Facts: Asuka is remodeled as an objectively stronger version of her NGE-series counterpart in both Rebuild 2 and 3, by an extreme margin. Asuka's failures/downsides are now entirely unrelated to any personal failings of Asuka, and the only downside she's had so far is due to her OWN, GOOD HEART AND SELF-SACRIFICE.
Fact: The writers of Rebuild have admitted in clear text that this is supposed to make her look like a good person.
Fact: That Rei has more screentime than Asuka means nothing, because screentime isn't alone what makes a character great.
Fact: Rebuild's plot and narrative punishes Shinji by associating with Rei, and all plans to bring them together are in-universe plannings of people who are quite literally, worse than Hitler for having planning and nearly completed the absolute extinction of the human race, leaving almost six billion dead if not even more.
Fact: What it takes to attack a character is in fact, screentime. This is why Rei gets more focus despite not being an active character. The facts are that 3.33 spends a lot of time discussing Rei, but not allowing Rei to act. It is completely possible to equate it with a political attack ad.
As you know, in the US politics, when people want to appear better than someone it is more important to spend time attacking the opposition than it is praising yourself. This is why the majority of all argumentation, rhetoric and televised ads attack the opponent rather than explaining one's own politics.
Exactly like this, does Rei Q and Rebuild exist to create a negative of Rei by spending more time on discussing Rei in a negative and downright false light.
