Has anybody made these points before?
Anybody who wishes to "opt out" of the happy (but artificial) matrix/common
soul can do so. Shinji chooses to do this, Neo too. In End of Evangelion,
Rei tells Shinji the common soul is the better choice. He rejects this, and
Rei dies. But that's not really Rei, it's Adam. Remember it was a new (and
IMO more obnoxious ) version of Rei that joined with Adam. Rei was never
Gendo's puppet, she had the option to pilot (or not pilot) Eva. But let me
make that other point again; that big ghost thing is NOT Rei, it's Adam.
So why does Shinji keep strangling Asuka ? Well he doesn't really strangle
her and he doesn't really eat his father, those are metaphors.
I think Asuka was too hard on Shinji. If she didn't want to be his
girlfriend, she should have kept her big mouth shut, she didn't have to keep
picking on him.... But maybe Asuka's worst remarks were all in Shinji's
head.... Maybe Shinji was just feeling bad because he couldn't help her when
she got killed. I think his unit 2 would have come to life (in time to save
Asuka) if he wasn't so busy feeling sorry for himself.
OK, so assuming he *never* strangled Asuka, why does she call his behavior
"disgusting" ? I think when Shinji left the common soul, everybody he wanted
to talk to also had to come out. Asuka saw this as more selfishness on his
part.
This is giving me a headache, I'm going to bed
