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.
>>
>>282444568
People 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.

Oh 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.

Shinji 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.

He 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.

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.

That'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.

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.

>>282461619
I 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?
>>
>>282461658
Asuka 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 much
Cuz 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
>>282461665
Gonna 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.

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.

>...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.

>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.

Tv Tokyo and Sega were right to cut this show's budget.

>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.

Honestly, 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.

>are obviously on edge at all times
yeah Shinji was edged crazy hard but he finally got to bust thanks to coma titties
god I wish that was me
you 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 did
I'd be licking her tight body all over and sniffing her and treating her comatose teen body like a buffet and sensual playground
I 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 more
sucking her fingers too
give her a proper tonguebath instead of the spongebaths she's been getting (hopefully not recently)

Evangelion's lore is fucking dogshit. It's very clear that it was never meant to be the focus of the story and it's just the setting where the characters psyche unravel
>>
>>282471666
it's stated early on in the series (or later on, after a few angel attacks? don't remember just know it happens) that a ton of the population have left/are leaving

Why does episode 16 look so shit?

master was damaged (in a flood iirc) so all later copies of the episode are made from a lower quality interpositive print

The og broadcast preview unironically speaking.

How? The masters were D2 tapes back then.
Maybe the og film reel those tapes were created from was the one who got fucked over.

>Refuses to pilot the robot 2-3 times

Doesn't sound like a determined and self-confident character to me. Couldn't they find a real man to pilot the robot that was supposed to save all of humanity?

>Characters and their struggles are interesting
That would have been true in a good show, but it doesn't apply to the characters in Evangelion. They are just not that interesting.

Once Asuka wakes up, she would have killed you for raping her comatose body.

>>282474507
I would cum on her toes or into her hand or on to her stomach and lick the evidence clean and then accept my fate when Misato shot me in the head instead of letting the soldiers do it.

is there a single post tv series entry where rei isn't written like shit? victim of her own popularity even more than most of the eva cast

>>282446823
Which is why /dbs/ is just filled with natural and deep discussion about the characters and lore of the series and not completely dead without shitposting because dbz itself isn't extremely shallow

Does Shinji like Misato?
>>
>>282477568
Still a better choice than a pedophile and a BPD psycho cunt.
>>
>>282478214
Any 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)

"The average penis length is 4.5 inches"

1. 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.

>>282444568
Shinji 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
>>
>>282479049
Still 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?
