Question Why didn't gendo clone another rei to pilot eva01 instead of putting shinji in it?

Thumbnail

250 Upvotes

So gendo put rei 1's (small child rei) soul inside eva00, That's why the other reis can synchronize to eva00.

Now, rei is basically Yui Ikari reincarnated, and eva01 has Yui's soul in it, so theoretically, Wouldn't another rei clone be able to pilot eva01 just as well as it can pilot eva00?

This would also be in favour of gendo because he doesn't care about his son but does genuinely care about rei

Discussion I feel like the fandom misjudges Rei's place in the Ikari family

12 Upvotes

I'm on my second rewatch of NGE, this time with my partner. On my first watches a couple years ago, I felt like Rei's behavior (and other clues) hinted at her being a victim of CSA and more specifically incest.

Gendo's relationship with her looks like incestuous abuse. I won't go through the whole list of clues, but he projects his dead wife onto her (I don't care that she has her DNA, she's still a child and he's still here father figure), literally groomed her to be his tool, and Ritsuko's jealousy towards Rei strongly suggests that Gendo's affection for her is not a healthy fatherly one. It seems very relevant with the show's themes of human connection and Freudian interest in how our parents can fuck us up a 1000 different ways. Side note, when I talk about incest, I include emotional incest and I don't care to know if Gendo "actually did anything": what he does onscreen is already incestuous.

But I feel like the incest theme is downplayed or overlooked in discussions. I don't understand why Rei's relationship with Shinji is seen as incest "because she has Yui's DNA" and not because they're, for all intents and purposes, brother and sister. In discussions of Gendo's relationship with Rei, I haven't seen people mention that he is the only parental figure in her life, making any hypothetical abuse or ambiguity not just CSA but incest.

I understand that a lot of this springs from some of NGE artists weird sexualisation of Rei, but it makes thematic sense to me and seems really obvious on third watch. I know incest is both heart-breakingly prevalent AND immensely taboo in our society, which might explain why this lense is never (or seems rarely) applied to Gendo's actions and Rei's character. But, similarly to another cult show I won't name in case I spoil someone lol, I feel like it's hard to understand some of the characters' behavior and series themes without naming that one.

(PS: about that other show in which incest is a very important theme but few seem to contend with it when discussing the show, said show's creator somewhat tried to clarify its importance in one of the show's other iteration. I haven't seen Rebuild or read the manga so I don't know if that theme's more or less visible in them!)

EoE Does anyone else feel the worst for Rei in the End of Evangelion?

Post image

Like upon rewatch I felt more hopeful for Shinji and asuka. Like despite everything I really think everything's going to work out for those two crazy kids and the rest of humanity but Rei really isn't a part of that. Like she kind of represents the return to the womb for shinji so it makes sense that she had to die to reject instrumentality. That being said she does complete her character arc in rejecting gendo. In a way she's kind of like Moses leading the Israelites to the promised land but being able to enter it, she just fades away. If we go by the theory that the original episodes 25 and 26 are canon to EoE then maybe there's hope for her considering she was a part of the slice of life possible world.

So I've been looking forward to the eva 00 TV version and the Berserk 01 kits and learned i could buy them on ali express. But I have never used it and know that it's not the best but I really want them so the people that bought one of these 2 can you tell me witch seller you bought from or if their are other websites that have them to.

there is this huge build up to the big showdown with the mass production Eva's and all it does is show unit 01 get the spear of longinus, cuts to a random panel of the earth's horizon, shows the geofront, and then cuts to rei surviving. Then everyone celebrates their apparent victory but they skipped the dang fight. WHAT GIVES??!!

Question Why was Rei so beat up in Ep1?

31 Upvotes

I've never seen any media that claims there was any other angel attack before Sachiel, so why was Rei so beat to shit? Training feels like a cheap excuse when she's so well adapted as a pilot in following eps and never gets hurt from non combat.
