You know when I see this I know Shinji wanted to save Rei, and that is what is heroic and noble of a human being, but it seems to me Shinji's mistake was not realizing the consequences of his actions but I don't think he deserved to get slandered, criticized, and hated for his mistakes. Shinji didn't want to become Eva pilot, his father forced him for his own machinations and Seele (though they are hardly used and frankly just a stand in not really even relevant to the story except for a group that wanted the apocalypse or believe in mankind's inevitable extinction not to mention supplied all the resources to build all these weapons of mass destruction). I wanted Misato to acknowledge Shinji throughout all his time as a pilot and a person. It disappointed me how she wasn't much help compared to his own father nor did she help him or decide to stay alive to there for him when he came back. I didn't think we need a sacrifice from one written to take the place of a parent, guardian, a mother. It didn't feel like Shinji got anything other than misery, pain, prejudice, and continued to feel abandoned left alone without anyone there for him to save since he was still that four year old boy left by his own father at the train station. The ending should've been revised.
Misato had her own Traumata with her Father and was not able to let pain inside her heart. Shiji was fighting to bring his mother back to life. Imagine you had a father who was not able to embrace and feel pain, but reject it, so he rejected his feeling son. Imagine a boy loosing his mother, because of mental or physical death, Shinji trying to bring his mother/sister back deeper and deeper, but than acknowledging she was dead but lives within the heart, letting pain in, embracing truths and if you embrace everything there is, you can grow and also heal and forgive others, because you healed yourself first, infp saying: I am ok, Whis who I am. 🌍💕
@@SeelenTaucher That's some deep philosophical message, brother. I get what you're saying, but I still think and will always believed Misato shouldn't have been the one to die especially since He never had anyone there for him his entire life, and that's the saddest part about and the reason for most of his struggles and pain. He's unable to trust or love someone else and because no one else can talk to him about it or has the ability to see he's in pain he is left alone to struggle in isolation for both 3.0 and 3.0 + 1.0. That's why I thought he should've gotten to be with someone he cared about and stayed with them to help like Misato.
@@aaronsteel853 I understand. But if you always try to depend on others and ask for help, it might cause you pain, because you think anyone else can heal you and make you pain vanish. If you search for validation in the outside, you might never be free or be yourself, embrace all there is within and in outside world. But if you dare to embrace yourself, you can heal from within and leave the dark path into light, because you embraced your soul and therefore you can also bring light into the souls of others. Shiji was so powerful not fighting any longer, but embracing all pain anger fear sadness whatever, and not running away or fighting or depending on the help and live of others, but because he loved himself first, he could give away that powerful light to others as well. Shinji healed his self and therefore could go the litten paths. He was able to overcome the coldheartedness, hatred, madness of others, because he accepted those elements within himself. And if you can embrace yourself fully you are able to walk through storms, no matter what, and still shine on and trust people, because you trust in life and yourself. 💚
@@SeelenTaucher Wow, you are really philological buff. I get what you're saying but honestly I would honestly kill for a better ending than what we got . Because, frankly a lot anime usually have a bittersweet ending than a decent one without most of the main cast not dying. Sometimes, it's a lovable character even though it's not the person who should die. I honestly, didn't want Misato of all people to die why couldn't it be Ritsuko or someone else like one of the crew. It doesn't seem right to me to lose someone that was the only one that was there for you, emotional and had a connection with you. Misato was the closest thing Shinji had to an actually parent.
@@aaronsteel853 You are so sweet. I understand your sympathy here and so true every human, especially Shinji deserves love, because he is a great soul. I am just a person with lots of experiences gone through, and the plot of NGE with most characters was so familiar to what I knew. Everyone had their unique difficulties to face and shinji first thought all those person's seemed better or perfect and powerful within his eyes, but he seems flawed, until he had a closer look seeing that every human might have dark spots and wishes and odd sides and stuff, but to see and embrace this within, therefore you might be able to accept people for whom they really are. Infp tend to have a very idealistic view of world and high moral standards and if you discover that the world inside and outside is not always as idealistic, it can be hurtful to the heart, but by pushing away what there is, reality, we might not be able to really trust and connect with the outside world, with other humans, because of walls against reality and bubble of idealism or perfectionism. Trying to be your best version, but still accepting, embracing the world with all it's different colors is high art. Greets and hearts bruh 💕🌍
