Where does the meme that he is an obedient beta boy come from?The first thing he fucking does is refuse to pilot the robot like 10 times and only when he sees Rei, does he do it.He attacks the angel directly against orders in the episode 3.He runs away multiple times and even tries to destroy NERV HQ at one time.And don't forget he faps to an unconscious Asuka and fucking chokes her later.He is the classic case of wolf in sheeps clothing
Shinji is a nuanced and not particularly pathetic character even early on, people are just stupid and have shit takes on everything.
>>282444568People are complicated but otakus are used to reduce characters to types
He pilots after seeing Rei out of guilt. His father probably knowing he'd feel guilty. In fights he tends to deviate from the plan from freaking out. Not being 'a wolf'. Not sure how running away fits your narrative of being a wolf. NERV are literally the bad guys. Shinji is thrust in to this against his will. The Asuka thing is just fucked up, but these kids are put in a psychotic situation and are obviously on edge at all times. Shinji is not just like you fr fr, OP.
>Yet Another 40 year old Boomer Evangelion Thread
>>282444568He's the only character who ever tried to deal with his problems while the whole world gaslighted him, which is why he is the first to leave the tang for a long time. Everyone else just pretended they were good.
>>282444568>Where does the meme that he is an obedient beta boy come from?Contrarian shitposting Always remember to discard any opinion that is hyperbolic and negative
>>282444568People likes to believe he is pathetic because he may be whiny and shy and stuff.I would like to see how those that joke about>Get in the fucking robot, ShinjiWould react if they actually had to drive a mecha, the moment they realize the input would make them feel all the pain the Eva feels.
>>282444568>And don't forget he faps to an unconscious Asuka and fucking chokes her later.And don't even start with him sending her to Kensuke's love shack
it is interesting how shinji's rebellion is mere refusal. like he could act out as a delinquent but he knows that's just a false option. he takes the oblomov strategy and refuses to either be or not to be
>>282444854Oh absolutely, but this is what makes the show brilliant. What you see in him says more about you than the show.Do you side with all the others who say he is worthless? Or do you see them for the assholes who they are (asuka and misato are literally sociopaths) and feel sympathy for shinji? Not just shinji gets gaslighted, but the viewer as well. It's obvious the show wants you to hate thim. The trick is refusing to do so.
>>282444568A lot of accusations against Shinji are largely from people who didn't watch the show or watched it like many years ago and don't remember
I think the main problem with Evangelion is that it focuses way too much on the annoying as fuck characters, and way too little on the actually interesting parts (The EVAs, Angels, and overall lore)
>>282446776Based, if you had the DBZ characters but Eva's lore you'd have the perfect show instead of the emo "deep" dumpsterfire we got
>>282446823>>282446776That stuff is background to the ACTUAL show
>>282446776>>282446823NPCs detected.Characters and their struggles are interesting, deal with it. Not everyone is as emotionally shallow as you.
>>282444568The average viewer is incapable of understanding even a bare minimum amount of nuance
>>282446804Even a 300 pound freak can lose weight.You will never get your youth back, old man.
>>282446927The real NPC behavior is not realizing that people can enjoy different things in what they watch, and not everyone shares the same mindset as you.
>>282447070Nigga, it's not 2010 anymore. Who the fuck wants to be young in this day and age where everything sucks? I'm only in early 30, but I wouldn't mind being 5 years older. You progressively stop giving a fuck.
>>282447109What more lore could you possibly want? EoE answers pretty much every fucking question. You faggots are insufferable.
>>282447128>2010>You don't get it my early Facebook/Twitter social media ridden world was much better than your Tiktoks young'un. I don't have nostalgia glasses I swear.
>>282447564I'm 38 and think anime and videogames are still great. The AAA videogame scene is a wreck but I don't care about those. Anime is still just entirely good, no caveats. I think anyone who believes modern anime is slop but late 00s/beginning 10s anime was good is either depressed or has spent too much time around 4chan doomposting.
>>282447739Anime isn't good anymore like it was in the 90s and early 2000s. There are no more deep anime
>>282447792There's some. Wonder Egg Priority, Sonny Boy. It's easier to have your mind blown at 16 than in your 30s though.
>>282447927Both of those were mid as hell
>>282446958correct
>>282446776>>282446823I dunno, seems to me that there's already a number of shows that could be described as "Eva, but more like DBZ" such as Detonator Orgun or Generator Gawl.
>>282446776I also had this opinion when I was fourteen.
>>282444568Shinji isn't an obedient beta or a wolf in sheep's clothing either.He's just a strong feeler. He acts purely on his own feelings and struggles to control them. He has strong empathy as a result but also oscillates between self isolating and becoming needy of other people.Many people will perceive strong feelings as a weakness, annoyance or threat.
>>282448705Beat me to the punch
>>282446823That's Gurren Lagann!!
Some actual good Evangelion discussion in this thread, very nice.
>>282449696This. Killing Kaworu was a rational decision, angel dies instead of everybody dies, and look how much effort that took.
>>282444568He's a fucking chad only for being able to jump into one of those building sized robots.I fear heights, there's no way you'd get me inside of one of those fuck huge things.
kensuke exclusively has sex with black men
>>282449696He isn't a strong feeler, he is just not an NPC. He has a soul. He introspects. He remained human.Everyone else just copes and/or wears a mask. Sometimes nothing is as strong as being yourself. From the very first episodes he is completely self-aware and knows that he likes to run away and tries to change it. What person would be so honest about their flaws? A truly cowardly person who always runs would just continue doing it, without reflecting on it.
>>282450921Yeah, can we fix this by discussing the female characters’ cup sizes?
>>282451507Based Kensuke the SENSEI
>>282451507based and kensukepilled
>>282446823>DBZ characters are better than Eva charactersGo to sleep Gonzalez. Not everyone has to be your macho self insert.
Same with the "it's about otaku and media obession!" when shinji isn't an otaku, doesn't have any obsessions, and never liked the mech in the first place.And the guy who is an obsessed otaku who wishes he could pilot a mech is probably one of the most well-rounded characters in the show. Anno giving the otaku character asuka was a big warm kiss on the forehead to otaku everywhere.
It would be funny if 1) he didn't always make two posts back to back when he samefags2) the post he samefagged to wasn't pure ESL gibberish3)he didn't always wait until the thread was at page 9/10 to samefag the same exact thing
>>282444568That's why it's a meme.
>>282454590What I am really gald is that Asuka finally found in Kensuke what she needed all along. Some reliable dude who she can rely on. That would never happened with Shinji, who is as flawed as her.
>>282444854This.
>>282451526>>282450921You had to jinx it
>>282446776Eh. The lore being some conspiracy theorist's wet dream while only serving as a backdrop to the characters is exactly what makes it work. Putting it front and center unironically destroys all that mystique and intrigue surrounding it.
>>282454701Hopefully he'll get bored and leave, the obvious samefagging just needs to be ignored
>>282444568>refuse to pilot the robot>He runs away multiple times>he faps to an unconscious AsukaCowardly behavior>fucking chokes her laterSomething someone insecure would doYup, it's right and I only needed your one post to come to that conclusion.
>>282454751>fapping to Asuka is... le cowardlyThen I guess all of /a are cowards.
>>282454769If he wasn't a coward, he'd fap to her face while she's concious.
>>282444568The meme isn't that he's an obedient beta boy, the meme is that he's a fag and a bottom, and this is a not-inaccurate assessment of him after Episode 24, and then his subsequent reaction to seeing Kaworu again in EoE.
>>282454769Kensuke is a lucky dog
>>282455788>pigplayHuh, I didn't think people who weren't into fat girls liked this sort of thing. I'm a fatfag so it's a natural fit for us, but this is the first time I've seen pigplay on a thin girl.
>>282444568All he needs is a big brother.
>>282455880It's funny how the question of "What would Shinji look like with a positive male role model" was asked for decades and then Gainax just answered the question themselves.
>>282455880Or a big titty gf
>>282455929
>>282455922ttgl was only one decade after eva
>>282455922Shinji gets Super Robot in every SRW he appears in, especially in SRW V
>>282456027Holy FUARK what a CHAD
>>282454350When is it shown he ends up with Asuka?Is it in the rebuilds?I don't remember it happening in the original show, or End of Eva
>>282456027SRW Shinji gaining a far more positive outlook way earlier because he's just surrounded by LADS who are the brothers he never had is amazing.
>>282446927It would be interesting if the show was written by someone who cared to write a story that was worth the frames it was drawn on, rather than a masterbatory nihilism trip about how everything sucks It was very intelligent, I will not deny that But it wasn't wise at all
>>282450901Objectively better story than Eva(Just pretend everything after the time stop didn't happen, the style they were working with didn't work for the new direction the story took and the asspulls got increasingly dumber with every episode)
>>282454751>Refusing to be a bootlicker is cowardly behaviorGo die for zog, you retarded normalfaggot muttEva is literally normalfaggot military propagandaToo bad Anno is a normalfaggot so he cucked Shinji since he couldn't stop self-inserting into himShinji should have killed everyone, and even should have sent his whore mother and father to hell
>>282455922TTGL is just G Gundam for zoomers with no testosterone
>>282454264They are thoughGoku being a selfish retard who spares Vegeta because he wants to fight him again, tossing a senzu to Cell, deciding to leave his wife and son and rejecting revival etc. is far more interesting than Shinji letting society browbeat him into being some faggot salaryman
>>282447792Dogshit 3x3
>>282457651Get a job, hippy
>>282457564He refused because he's coward. He didn't refuse out of any "mah free will" reason. That's what makes him a coward.
>>282457886Yes, he is a coward, he is dishonest, sneaky and a wimp. And he hates himself.I love Shinji and all of Eva so much, /a/.Shinji is great.
>>282445469They are two deeply wounded women who desire love, friendship and true connection above all else, but are too fucked up to get it. I never experienced such empathy for a drawing before, or since, seeing Asuka in Evangelion.>>282452203I find it weird that Asuka is always depicted as the bustier one in fanart, while Rei clearly has bigger jugs.
>>282446776It would have been forgotten after 3 years tops if it was made this way.
>>282444568I refuse to watch evangelion. I will stick to Tezuka, Nagai, Gundam and other similar works instead.
Shinji sexo
>>282458920Eva just isn't very good It's smart, but it's like a smart guy who decides to be a pessimistic asshole instead of doing anything with his intelligence
>>282444854 I have to say that I first saw Eva when I was really young and found Shinji irritating and annoying. As I grew up, I realized that most of the Evangelion cast is a cesspool of appalling immaturity, and Shinji is truly surrounded by a toxic environment.
>>282454769 Kensuke's property
>>282446776It would be an improvement but it wouldn't be as popular
>>282444568US viewers are entirely unable to understand why an MC wouldn't find shooting stuff in a giant robot cool, and also they are terminally afraid of males crying
>>282446776That's its main strong point anon. Anime lore and robots are generally stupid, and it's nice that Eva shovels some real life problems through its characters into the show. Gundam did the same btw - the reason people rewatch these shows for years it's because they have actual nuanced humans inside of them. The giant toy aspect is supposed to lure you in as a childman; the character aspect is supposed to make you grow out of it. They are a trap made specifically for us in order to make us enter real life, and always were.
>>282460308It refuses to allow the adult child to escape into a fantasy, instead forcing you to confront yourself.See:>>282459327>must be happy! Must be happy!>No bad thoughts! No bad thoughts!
>>282444568Because viewers are introduced to a world in peril and this dweeb won’t get in the fucking robot. Obviously the point is subverted expectations and character depth but you can’t expect it not to stick with people as a joke.
>>282447564Twitter and Facebook sucked back then, but you didn't have to deal with AI sloppa, the /pol/fag/bluehair political dichotomy, or the general enshittification of the Internet. It's bad enough now even Zoomers want off the ride.
>>282455880God I love every SRW with Eva in it giving Shinji positive male role models in Koji and the super robot pilots in general. Bonus points for Z3 giving him Noriko as well.
>>282454932Kawoshin ftw
>>282444568It's hilarious that the Eva fanbase is basically just shonentards now
The point of Evangelion is that Shinji is a repressed homosexual
>>282460591The ship of EVA and of anime as a whole.https://mega.nz/folder/JJs1wS4a#u1OBKF6J1Mjkd4fdxaXWgQ
>>282460459Many of evangelion's inspirations had tragedy in some way or another, more than a few times heroes would die or be destroyed. Yet the core of their stories wasn't about making the hero be a self insert hate fiction while sympathizing with the evil father.>>282460850It's literally a shonen anime that hated on mainstream shit.
Evangelion, huh? Yeah I liked this guy Kensuke
>>282444568They're projecting because they can only see those aspects among Shinji's other characteristics.
>>282444568>Where does the meme that he is an obedient beta boy come from?Same place where the meme that Rei is an obedient doll came from: Asuka fans with superiority complexes. This stems from the fact that Asuka does not have a positive role in Evangelion compared to the two of them.
>>282461619I know it is futile, but I want to know: why?He's the most childish of the cast, brings the least to the table, and if I am perfectly honest I think he is just written to be a mirror to be held up at manchildren.Why do you like him so much, and why do you keep pairing him with Asuka?
>>282461658Asuka is instrumental(ha) in awakening Rei, their antagonistic relationship is one of the catalysts that turn Rei into a real girl.With Shinji I think their relationship is more tragic. I think she really did want to kiss him in that episode, but fucked it up in every possible way.
>>282461665>if I am perfectly honest I think he is just written to be a mirror to be held up at manchildren.Not him but that is unfair to Kensuke. He is an "otaku" for sure, but he is an actual child, and is for his age very independent and intelligent. He's not gigachad as a 14 year old, I think he can be forgiven that.Compared with Toji, who is a brute but also has a soft side, he doesn't come off as bad at all. For reference inbetween the children, there really isn't anything wrong with Kensuke unless you want to demonize obsessing over military equipment.
>>282461665>He's the most childish of the cast, brings the least to the table, and if I am perfectly honest I think he is just written to be a mirror to be held up at manchildren.He was a CHILD in the original series, what the fuck do you expect?>Why do you like him so muchCuz he's pretty cool guy in the original series and turned out to be a massive chad on the CANON rebuilds. Not only that but he was able to give Asuka what she needed in the end. He freaking saved Asuka from dieing alone or just killing herself. >and why do you keep pairing him with Asuka?Number one, it's canon. Number two, even Shinji saw it. She needed a dad so bad that Anno give her one. No one but Kensuke would be able to support Asuka cuz he's reliable and really mature also a friend from her age (hurr durr her body is 14 idgaf).
>>282461678>Asuka is instrumental(ha) in awakening Rei, their antagonistic relationship is one of the catalysts that turn Rei into a real girl.I don't think so, Rei was as real as anyone else from the onset. Otherwise, her and Rei's antagonistic releationship did really force a reaction out of Rei at times. So I guess that part checks out at least....but all in all, that still doesn't leave Asuka in a "positive" position compared to the other two. My point was really just that Asuka calls Rei an obedient doll and Shinji a beta coward wtihout understanding or empathizing with either of them, and she does this to feel better about herself. I say that the fandom does the same thing.>>282461737>>282461665Gonna jump on this one, Kensuke IS a child, and he still was the one who camped out alone and did things independently you wouldn't expect regular children to do - Rei notwithstanding, since she's just built different.
Also all of Asuka's first were taken by Kensuke
I will make my own Evangelion fanfic
>>282461811We know Kensuke bro. that's why you typed this >>282461737
Serious question, you knlw the Kensuke schizo has never watched Eva. He's actually admitted to just being a schizo from /dbs/. So why reply to him like he's going to have a serious posts that isn't filled with words like "Chad", "CANON" and other retard shit? He's a troll and an lolcow
>>282461870make sure to keep replying though, serious anon.
>>282461619>>282461619>>282461793It's actually funny how nobody here, points out how both these posts are pure-esl
yes yes, nobody has ever made that accusation. Go back to sleep, retard.
>>282461705I don't know, he came off as more childish for his age compared to all the other children. Maybe it is just me.Unfortunatly the Ken Ken fag replied as well and as expected it was useless.>>282461759Metaphorical real girl, obviously.
>>282462054>childish for his age compared to all the other childrenBecause he is, remember the shit he pulled after what happen to Toji. He didn't give a fuck and was more focused wanting to plot an Eva. >replied as well and as expected it was useless.I could have told you that, He's said many times he doesn't like Eva or Shinji so an actual response was never going to happen
>>282444568Normies hate, hate male characters whose issues are not "protect/avenger my loved ones", "ambition to be the best/lead" external type of conflicts.Any sort of inkling of existentialism and introspection and it's just beta, weak, gay, pretentious, pseud.The most you can get is "fighting inner demons that make me look cool instead of an idiot"
>>282445152Replying a post about EoE timeline with a Shin eva 3.0+1.0 answer where no one of the ends connect to each other.Pathetic.
>>282462158don't most people like kyon though? This seems like a lie.
>>282462393Did he have a conflict? I barely remember.But also, normies and Haruhi don't mix. And the ones that did were for other reasons. Kyon is easy to accept as just a straight man in a manzai routine

I wonder if he actually gets bored repeating the same exact samefagging and image spam evey thread? Lolcow
>>282464004I like how he keeps posting that image where the context is Kensuke is a cuck in that image
>>282463950>happy that the girl he's with doesn't give a fuck about him and looking at another manWhat a happy cuck, just like in canon
>>282464070>>282464085He sure is

>>282461619 I also liked how he was calling Asuka

>>282450921I like howel we went from a good thread to the Kensukefag samefagging to himself and jannies not dealing with it
I hate women and their pets so much it's unreal
>>282465920They have the best dynamic, Eva would have been good if Anno didn’t forget about her until the movie.
>>282465920Too bad she's her mom,a nd an artificial being, so them would be doomed.Anno was on a depression tantrum when the EoE 2nd half was being in production, so he made Asuka be the other one who would emerge from the Fanta sea simply to spite at nip reifags and escapists. Make the person Shinji has THE WORST dynamic to begin with be the other one he'll have to deal with in the scorched post 3rd imapct world is a bigger punishment than the og planned end where Shinji ends alone in the scorched world and with only a putrid arm of Rei III as a memento.
>>282461759>...but all in all, that still doesn't leave Asuka in a "positive" position compared to the other two. My point was really just that Asuka calls Rei an obedient doll and Shinji a beta coward wtihout understanding or empathizing with either of them, and she does this to feel better about herself.This shit blows up in Asuka's face when Shinji "saves" her after he returns from his expellment from NERV (it was actually Eva 01 in Yui mode, but you understand the point, Shinji got desperate enough to awaken Yui), since that moment, she actually begins to hate Shinji, Rei and Misato to the point of not wanting to eat the same food, drink the same water, bath in the same tub and breath the same air at them.It's not about cowardice, but them invalidating her as a person.Rei saving her ass from Arael was the penultimate nail in the coffin that made her run from Shinji and Misato to Hikari's house where she opened her heart.The final straw is what happened at the beginning of chapter 24, AKA the last memory Shinji had of having talked to Asuka (even if it's to fight her), and where he finally lashed out and told her Kaji was ded. Shinji took away her last hope and made her escape to wherever to simply let herself die.
>>282461449>It's literally a shonen anime that hated on mainstream shit.TRVTH NVKES about Eva:>It was marketed as a kids show in Japan at first (it even went into a golden hour prime time block and was very successful there). Anno pulled a similar stunt Tomino did to Tokyo 12 Channel/TV Tokyo execs when he sold the Ideon idea to them.>Series DIDN'T HAVE budget issues. It was all parents complaints being too much for TV Tokyo and them receiving the unfinished pitch for the real ep. 25 (What ended up being the Rebirth part of the Death & Rebirth compilation movie and the Air part of EoE) and deciding it was too NSFW to be aired, even at midnight (Eva went first to a golden hour prime time block, then due to the complaints it was moved to the midnight block), so the psychological trip is the, let's say, the "censored" version of the OG ep. 26.
>>282444568He's pretty quiet and shy personality wise for the most part
>>282444568Tv Tokyo and Sega were right to cut this show's budget.
>>282470394>Tv Tokyo and Sega were right to cut this show's budget.No budget was cut, that was a false rumor. They had OG ep. 25 (Air) almost ready to be sent to broadcasting and TV Tokyo dudes deemed it as NSFW, even for the exclusive timeslot eva got after being bombed by parents complaints.Outside of the moral guardians complaints, they were too happy with Evangelion financial results. The one who was seething was Anno for reasons we already know.
>>282457651Honestly, the Cell thing is the one time I will stick up for Goku's terrible nature. He pretty much called every step. Even the way he reacted to Cell trying to blow himself up indicates he KNEW that would happen if Cell was allowed to linger. Goku knew he could beat Cell, but he couldn't beat Cell in the way he needed to be defeated. If Goku actually cornered him, after showing he could blow half of Cell's body away, Cell blows up the earth. If a tired Cell starts getting shit on by this dumb preteen, Cell hedges his bets and there goes the earth. Cell had to be cocky enough to fully commit AND get taken off guard. Cell's not going to fall for another teleporting kame anyway, and regenerating from only legs must have sealed Goku's decision on what needs to happen. Goku even urged Gohan as strongly as possible to simply KILL CELL. He knew what a true villain like that would resort to. To his credit, he caught that one for Gohan too. Piccolo was wrong. Gohan always displayed a strong tendency for turning in to a lion when push came to shove. Piccolo was oddly soft on his view of Gohan.
>>282444706>are obviously on edge at all timesyeah Shinji was edged crazy hard but he finally got to bust thanks to coma tittiesgod I wish that was meyou could literally tell me that the entire thing was recorded (it was, we see a shot of Asuka's bed on security cameras later, NERV saw Shinji do everything)I'd still do 10x more than Shinji didI'd be licking her tight body all over and sniffing her and treating her comatose teen body like a buffet and sensual playgroundI wouldn't fuck her but I'd be licking her pits, kissing her unresponsive mouth, her pussy and sucking her toes while I jerked off, and so much moresucking her fingers toogive her a proper tonguebath instead of the spongebaths she's been getting (hopefully not recently)

>>282446927>Characters and their struggles are interestingThat would have been true in a good show, but it doesn't apply to the characters in Evangelion. They are just not that interesting.
>>282470820Once Asuka wakes up, she would have killed you for raping her comatose body.

>>282478214Any teenage boy would find her attractive but he knows to repress those feelings for a woman double his age. I was surprised that Misato is directly presented as a third romantic option in the show itself, as if it's not even weird (Thanks Japan)
What did you say to him, anons?
>>282478413"The average penis length is 4.5 inches"
>>2824782531. I guarantee Asuka's 14 year old pussy would be the cleanest, best pleasure. Licking up her pussy juice and sucking the spit off her tongue would be the honeyed ambrosia of heaven. Men would kill for far less.2. Shinji being gently gently eased and coaxed into entering into an ongoing sexual and pseudo-romantic, intimacy mentoring relationship with Misato would solve at least 85% of his problems unironically.
>>282478413something wholesome because I love him, but it's a secret.
>>282460459I don't think you understood my dislike of NGE at all
>>282478172I mean the last few months answers this question
>>282444568Shinji rocks, with only 14 years he destroyed the world several times yet he was able to save it at the end, he suffered a lot of things like his father not caring about him all his life and even almost kill one of his friends (Toji) and he was strong enough to not try kill himself, not like the people that says that Shinji's a crybaby when you tell them that Shinji it's actually an awesome character
>>282479049Still at tje end of EoE he ended mentally too overly fucked up in his mind and developed some schizophrenia. Otherwise how would you explain his (and Asuka's) thousand yard stare and eyebags?
