>good mentors produce good successors
Yeah. That's the beauty of srw is it defies annoying mecha tropes.
>>
The entire reason many characters in these types of stories, especially Evangelion, get so fucked up is because there's regularly no one to keep them on track or help fix their mentality. Even official media for Eva kind of tackled this; the manga was really lame, but by straight up skipping some of the most traumatic events of the main series by being in different places at different times or subverting certain things from even happening as a sort of alternate timeline take, Shinji doesn't break down nearly as much and manages to be a lot more affirmative in fixing the world.

I wouldn't be surprised if some SRW continuities try to unfuck Char even somewhat, too. I know every time he does CCA the cast absolutely give him hell for it.
>>
>>728921668

kinda off topic but i read this book and don't really get what it has to do with evangelion >>728921668 and why people comapare them

Like it's about the cold indifference of the universe, how you're meant to play roles and since the mc didn't play the role of a grieving son, a caring bf, a repentant sinner. society shat on him and got him excecuted cause they thought he killed somebody in cold blood rather than an accident.

the only way i can think about how it relates to shinji is that he wants to be regular boy, have caring parents but is instead pushed into the role of saving the world which he hates. like he rejects the role put on him and that's his main character arc but i feel like there's more i missed.

Yeah. There was not a single real adult in the entirety of NGE. The closest it ever got was Shinji at the very end of the last Rebuild movie, and he just sort of grew in to it and got sick of the constant bullshit after sulking by himself for weeks (again, nobody bothered properly talking to him let alone mentoring), which was also stupid.

Now that the dust has settled I'll just say it. I liked it better than 30 and definitely liked it better than X, T and all the Z sequels. On the fence on how it compares to V. The new UI still looks garbage and I don't really care for a couple of the new entries (coughWFMcough) but I liked that expert mode actually felt like expert mode first time, I really liked the OGs this time around, the interactions between the casts are actually really good here as well, probably because of the whole everyone is living on the city ship thing so it's a given everyone will mostly be doing crossover stuff instead of having stages where series are off doing their own thing.

>>
>>728926353
Old nickname out of mockery for Kira Yamato, main character of Gundam Seed, and later hijacks the main character position in fhe sequel Gundam Seed Destiny.

People called him that back then due Kira's often unexplained ability to survive any certain death situation, like an explosion equivalent to a nuke, and the setting itself bending to his moral grandstanding so Kira never loses an argument or a fight (when he does, there's an excuse for it).

He used to be extremely popular too, which made people who hated his antics more annoyed at that fact. Nowadays, it seems more people are not so keen on liking Kira Yamato all that much, his eternal high rankings on official Gundam polls has fallen a little.

MJP is a backseater, Endless Waltz has minimal plot and the fivesome actually get up to plenty crossover hijinks, serving for a large part as the glue keeping shit together. Also - Wufei's plight of the common soldier is actually written semi-decently for once rather than being total retardism.
SEED Destiny is post-plot and Shin is written as Domon Kashu's disciple. (Yes- they went there with the God Finger attack and jokes about Shin & Luna pulling of a Sekiha Tenkyoken.)
Mercury is tard-wrangled into its own little box of "shit-not-mattering-on-the-grand-scale."

That is one of the best part of SRW, you can have the "appropriate" characters to fix the flaws of other characters, for example with the infamous Cross Ange, in its first game they had that lady from seed being so fucking pissed off over the Cross Ange bitches kill steal bullshit that she inmmediately bought them up and forced a salary system to stop the kill steal and in the second game cross ange appeared they made the ultimate shota be a positive influence for LITERALLY all cross ange's girls, that kid basically kicked the bitcheness out of all the cross ange girls just because he is too nice.

I had heard a rumor that the folks that made EVA were hit with some "antisemitism" accusations. Particularly over the old man that would dissolve into orange tang during instrumentality. He was notably left out in the rebuild series. Anno also notably played DUMB AS A MOTHERFUCKER when asked about his inspiration for Evangelion. Said something to the effect of "uh, we just did stuff that sounded cool". I think that was a cop out explanation. A little plausible deniability for the fact that he was literally writing about the most Alex Jones tier shit ever.

For what is worth.
In Evangelion 2 (the game), there IS a Jet Alone Kai. And while beefier and more useful than his first version, it's still very much a support unit and could not win in a fight against an angel on its own.

It's to show that he had it in him the whole time. Some people tend not to notice in the original series and dismiss him as a little bitch, but the manga and hell, even Rebuild put this on full display. Under different circumstances, he could have become like Amuro Ray. Shinji is more of a hot blooded super robot pilot than he appears to be at a glance

sometimes it feels like the only thing separating amuro and shinji was a good childhood
>>
>>728951120
A good childhood is pretty much the only thing separating Amuro from a lot of protagonists, even within the gundam setting like Kamille.
I can't state enough how important it is that Amuro turned out the way he did due to his upbringing, even if he did start off as a spoiled brat.
>>
>>728947930
The GBA games are all varying degrees of mediocre. Even the good ones were made wholly irrelevant by the PS2 remake. Z2 is a huge downgrade from Z1.

>Gendo is the "real" adult because he focuses on having humanity survive
What the FUCK show did you watch? Because it wasn't NGE.
>>
>>728951120
It's been a month since I watched all of 0079 with my dad dubbed, but yeah, Amuro had a pretty good childhood compared to most mech protags. The one major blemished I guess was going into space with his dad while his mom stayed behind.

Good news, Mom was still Alive and seemingly cared for him before she learned he was now part of Fed army and even then, it's complicated. His life stared to go down hill after taking part of OYW. Dads fucked in the thanks brain-damaged gained from being vacuumed into space, Mom sorta hates him because she knows her son is a killer and no longer innocent, watched a bunch of civilians die in front of him, and's is responsible for the deaths of thousands, soldiers mind you, still there is blood on his hands.

Honestly, it's a miracle Amuro didn't break after the OYW. Maybe being Newtype helped him or something.
>>
>>728930737
That's also why Shinji and Asuka are the only ones to come back. Ironic.
>>
>>728951932
Amuro did suffer some severe Shell shockedness in Zeta so it's not like he completely escaped unharmed in the OYW
>>
>>728951093
This dude definitely molests his son

>>728952193
Guess I should finish watching Zeta with my dad then.

>>728951326
Amuro didn't exactly seem quite right at the start either. he lived by himself and would forget to eat or bathe if he didn't have Frau tard wrangling him.

>>
>>728951120
Amuro had a much better support than Shinji because while Amuro did initially clash with lots of his fellow crew he did eventually come to see White Base and the rest of them as a pseudo-family. Shinji didn't have the same kind of support because the people around him were dealing with their own issues that they never fully resolved as well.
>>
>>728952692
He gets a redemption in a tiny amount of games, even manages to bury the hatchet with Kamille in one of them.
Granted Kamille is the one that has to start that discussion.
>>728952476
Amuro was the average 4chan user at the start so you aren't wrong lol.
>>
>>728952692
Only in V where he can be a recruitable unit.
>>
>>728952476
Yeah I don't know why all these retards are saying he had a good childhood.
>>
>>728951649
I admit it's been years since I watched it, but wasn't the alternative to SEELE orchestarting the Third Impact just having the Angels do it once they reach the core? And SEELE would've done it anyway and NERV couldn't stop them as shown in EOE, so having Gendo (I think that's what he originally planned) or Shinjji in charge of it is a lot better than literal glowniggers

So what was his plan B if Shinji had actually fucked off for real?
>>
>>728952936
Well, in comparsion to some of the animes I watched, it's pretty good. Mom's Alive, Dad's alive, has a childhood friend that cares about him, that's great in the grand scheme of things.

Lelouch, he watched his mother get gunned down and witness his sister go blind and lose the ability to use her legs from the same incident that took his mother life. Dad then sends you to a foreign country to be pawns in his scheme, and seemingly doesn't give a fuck if you die in a war he then starts against said foreign country.

Shinji, watched his Mom seemingly die in front of him (Memory holds the whole event) and at time of his mother death, his father basically abandons him to relatives who don't really care about you.

Simon, watched both his parents die in a cave-in caused by an earthquake, so he's an orphan.
>>
>>728953194
No, Unit 01 was always at the core of the Instrumentality Project. Gendo wanted it to happen as much as SEELE and only cared about being reunited with Yui. He didn't give a shit about humanity as a whole.
>>
>>728952936
because that was purely on him, kid just had mechanical autism and that's why he stayed in his room all day working on haro
and sure you could argue his dad wasn't around all that much but he still had friends his own age who cared about him and he has no childhood traumas fucking him up like most other mecha protags - in comparison, his upbringing was pretty good
>>
>>728952936
If anything Amuro is set up just like Shinji, but Bright was there to actually be a positive male role model for him.
>>
>>728953573
Parents being alive don't matter when they're both absent from his life.
>>
>>728953747
>he has no childhood traumas fucking him up like most other mecha protags
Retard.
>>
>>728954207
you want to elaborate on that, or have you just decided we're talking about the events of the show and not how he was at the start of it?
>>
>>728953747
>and he has no childhood traumas fucking him up like most other mecha protags
The One Year War IS basically his childhood trauma, and his full introduction into it is his neighbors getting blown the fuck up.
>>
I don’t think Tem was neglectful. Absent maybe, but because of his work mostly. If he really was a shitty parent Amuro wouldn’t have taken after him with his interest in mechanics or chased after him in Side 6. Sure, when they reencounter Tem cares more about the Gundam than his own family, but he’s demented by then and Amuro reacts as if it were unusual from him.
>>
>>728935080
Shinji was supposed to live alone, like Rei. Misato taking him in was her own initiative.
>>
>>728954342
It's obvious you've only watched a handful of shows. Even if you limit it to just Gundam MOST protagonists don't have any childhood trauma.

So he had a selfish reason, but he was still on the side defending humanity. Though now that I type it out I realize you can say this for most characters in NGE
And judging by SEELE's action and Gendo threat to fire Shinji, they only needed Unti 01 (and awakened Yui), the pilot was a bonus
>>
>>728954758
Gendo was not on humanity's side. He wanted to fuck over everyone to get his wife back.
Watch the show and EoE.
>>
>>728953392
get rei to do it
arguably rei was plan a and he just brought in shinji because he might connect with unit01 better (which he did)
>>
>>728954375
it's a bit hazy if anything was bothering amuro before the oyw started
we do know his dad was barely around and he had been separated from his mother for a decent amount of time
he seemed more or less adjusted to where he was and everyone who knew him seemed to like him well enough (except for hayato because he's an insecure little bitch)
>>
>>728935389
That's far enough Eva
>>
>>728955024
>he seemed more or less adjusted to where he was
Could have sworn he was a super autismo tinkering with machines all who would forget to eat and dress if his one friend didn't come in to check on him.
>>
>>728955024
at the start of 0079 Amuro was basically an emotionless robot that shut everyone out. he definitely had issues that were getting worse. The White Base environment forcing him to interact with people did wonders for his mentality.
>>
>>728954832
I did watch it, even Death&Rebrith, I think our misunderstanding is that I don't think third impact is bad by itself and even if it was, it was inevitable, so Gendo trying to take control over it from SEELE is as good as it gets

It happened in EoE and showed that Shinji could change the world to whatever he wanted, if you put someone intelligent there instead of an antisocial sperg it's pretty much just magic that can fix every issue in the world
>>
>>728957691
only someone with severe mental illness could be the catalyst for third impact
the original plan was rei, who was brought up to be borderline emotionless
then SEELE pivoted to shinji and had to make him suffer ego death for it to start

but he was resentful of his absentee parents and had certain levels of naivete that had to be both physically and experienced out of him in a short period of time

As long as it uses the liberties that the anime took.
Case in point: The Deathsaurer wasn't actually fuckheug, but the animu had the good sense to change that. I mean, just look at how hilarious the bio tyrano was in genesis. You can't take that shit seriously, no matter how ridiculously overpowered it was.

I actually had not seen Getter Arc so was going into Y not really knowing much about it. And yeah, I quite like the new Getter Team. Takuma's hot blooded but a different enough character to stand out from his dad and would not mind seeing Arc as the Getter rep for a couple more SRWs.

Evangelion when put into SRW always ends up having its most downer moments averted due to interactions with other series.
And Shinji being surrounded by other, more confident characters who also care about him, actually causes him to develop into someone with a backbone of his own.
Hell, it fixed the cast of Gundam SEED. That's a big improvement.
