I just watched the first three episodes of Neon Genesis Evangelion. It's alright...

>Cause it's realistic dipshit.
Maybe if you're an introvert incel. The situation he finds himself in, the fact that he's the only person who, as far as he's aware, can save mankind, should give him enough motivation to grow a pair. You're not supposed to like this character. You're not even supposed to consider it realistic since, technically, any character is realistic by proxy. Stop self inserting.

>14 dead mom, father abandoned him
If anything, this would cause rage in a child. He has never even known family life, hence he doens't even know what he's lost. A person who has not lost something precious to them has no reason to be depressed. Plain and simple.

Tough guy on the Internet eh? Why aren't you in the army instead of shitposting on the Internet?

Because I am not a brainlet who should be used at a shield. Besides, did you just compare the armed forces during the most peaceful time in human history to a last stand military institution fighting for the survival of its own race (that's what he was led the believe after all)?

Not him, but I think it's reallyc ringy to openly relate more to a pussy ass bitch than a chad.

>can save mankind
The problem is he doesn't give a single shit about mankind since mankind doesn't give a single shit about him.

Why do people feel the need to share their inane first reactions to a show?

Yea Forums - Anime & Manga

I just stared watching too
The MC is obviously gonna sack up so just give it time.
What i am having trouble pushing through is this bitch-cunt Asuka. Holy fuck she is like nails on a chalk-board.
Weak MCs usually have a satisfying climb to self-confidence/power ect; but i know these tsun-cunts just got marginally more tolerable at bestttt

FUCK i'll keep pushing past 9 i hope i'm wrong

If that was the focus of the show his reaction would resonate indifference. He's not indifferent to people dying, now is he? He's a worthless little worm who was created for the audience to hate him because not only is he an introvert little faggot, but he's also one of the most pathetic individuals ever put on screen. Anno even thinks to himself, which is why he's embarrassed everytime he watches his own show because it's like a mirror to him. People who like NGE's cast are too retarded to get the show. You're supposed to hate this cast, not glorify it.

fuck off to Yea Forums netflixfag

>He has never even known family life
Yes he has. He still faintly remembers his mom and misses her, and as much as he hates his father he still wants to find a way to rebuild his relationship with his father and earn his respect and love. But of course you wouldn't know that since you've only watched the first 3 episodes. Watch an pay attention instead of making dumb misinterpreted and misinformed posts.

kys ya sheep faggot

>But of course you wouldn't know that since you've only watched the first 3 episodes.
Why are you assuming he's OP? Just so you know, I'm OP, and I didn't make that post.

>watching Evangelion for the first time on 2019
Embarrasing.

>watching anime before you've turned 30+
Embarrassing.

>watching anime
Embarrassing.

Excellent bait

so that's you're bar in life huh?
You must be a pathetic faggot

>willingly continuing your life in one of the lower realms
Embarrassing.

>incel
Fucking faggot. Let us look if you could do what he needs to do
>be 14 years
>lost your mother and your dad doesn‘t give a fuck about you
>no one fucking cares about you. No friends either
>you are all alone in this shitty world
>they put you in a shitty mech, that fucking hurts
>go user fight for your fucking life to save humanity if not die

That last sentence. Yikes. So which is it? Do you wanna fight for your fucking life to save humanity or die? You can't have it both ways. Either cover in a corner because you don't wanna live, in which case you can just board the mech and let the angel kill you, or fight. Guess Shinji really is a double digit IQ retard.

How do I still get triggered by posts like this, even after all these years?
It infuriates me how people just want all boy protagonists to be your hot blooded dumb shounen hero.
The author wanted to tell a story about this fragile, insecure kid. That's it. That's why he's like this. If you don't like it, get filtered.

>Get filtered
or I could just continue to watch it but still think that Shinji is a pussy bitch and continue to make threads like this.

>The author wanted to tell a story about this fragile, insecure kid
No he didn't. He wanted to tell a story about himself and tell the audience to not be like him. You're way behind the curve, even after 25 years.

based retard

You fucking idiot, do you think with 14 you are suddenly a fucking super hero or something? You would probably be fucking scared because you will probably die. This shit is like, alright user see the cliff if you can jump good enough you will make it to the other side, other wise you will die. Do you think that you now suddenly will be jumping like a fucking kangaroo?

You have no right to have an opinion of an anime if you watched it dubbed.

No I won't because I neither want to die nor will I die unless I jump. Besides, the situation you've used as an analogy would be certain death since it's physically impossible to make it to the other side. Terrible comparison. In our case, the protagonist has the option to board a giant vehicle that allows him to fight giant gods. The probability for him to survive after boarding the vehicle is reasonably high. If he fails to board it, he and everybody else will die. So not only the do, but also the don't scenario are different to your shit tier example.

You can go and enlist in army then, that wouldn't be as hardcore, but still comparable.

If he run and jump he can die if not he will die too. So better?

>2k19
>people complaining about Shinji in the beginning of the anime

Fucking finish it before you start shit posting.

Look, I know he can be irritating at times, but understand his fucking situation. No mother, father doesn't care about his existence, no friends, no nothing. What else did you expect from someone with that background at 14 years old?

>imagine being this much of a brainlet

Ah yes the same tired old arguments and opinions from the 90's rehashed in the 21st century.

So you obviously jump since the probability for you to survive isn't zero. If someone puts a gun to your head and says
>jump or you die
then you don't have a choice since a bullet to the head kills you 100%. Falling off of a cliff might magically result in survival. Or just jump really close to the edge and try to grab a rock on your way down. Virtually no reason to not jump.

>experience the mangled version of something
>think his opinion matters

>bro Shinji is actually a respectable character an I like him! :)
Literally too dumb to understand their favourite show

>and continue to make threads like this
Of course you will. Doesn't make a difference, threads like this have always existed. Next time you will create a "wtf did I just watch" thread, then proceed to waifu wars.

What's the difference if it's Anno's self insert or not? Doesn't make it less true that IS a coming of age story about a fragile kid. He isn't encouraging his behavior. If he just wanted people to hate on him he wouldn't have given him development at all. But it was necessary for the kind of story he wanted to write about.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.

>why isnt this 14 year old kid with massive depression and trauma not like my shonen gary stus?

>SEETHING

At that point, Shinji was just upset with his father. He thought Gendo actually wanted to see him, and instead Gendo just wanted to shove Shinji in a robot and send him to a likely death.
Beyond that, he was being asked to jump into a fight against an abstract monstrosity with no prior training or experience, and he'd already seen the Angel survive concentrated fire from military gear.

>massive depression
Yes, yes, tranny. You have depression, we get it. You can't do anything about it, we get it.

Get in the friggin robot, Shinji

KEK

Yo shinji get in the robot

He was angry about his dad abandoning him and then suddenly dragging him to pilot one of the robots that he designed, he doesn’t fully trust anyone and is only piloting the robot because he didn’t want Rei to pilot it in her condition.

yaay a magical flyin robot!

>He was angry
Anger translates to indifference, not to being a pussy. Stop with your fanfiction, teen.

>people actually replying

This unironically

Attached: More_Sage_Advice.jpg (646x646, 87K)

It's kinda ironic, actually, because all these dudes who are so mad at Shinji "being a pussy" are also men/boys with distant fathers who were also maladjusted in their own boyhood.

Well you're realistically a pussy

>"that's literally me" the show

you're not supposed to defend shinjis first actions, you're supposed to,recognize them for what they are: a selfish little bitch that can't get over his fee fees long enough to literally save all of mankind. You gradually gain back your respect for him.

The real bitch side of Shinji is that he can pilot a giant robots and risk his life, but he's still too scared to talk about his feelings and get close to people.

oh fuck yeah my fellow user lets start a thread instead suckin boku no hero's dick while talking about how pussy is overrated
Don't forget the Loli-worship sprinkled in.
Yea Forums is so cool
just kidding you're a sheep faggot
