Misato is tragic because the only way she knows how to connect with people is through sex, and the paradox of her is that while she is heavily compartmentalized, she actually has no sense of boundaries.
@neosovietposter The interesting thing about Asaka is I think she is probably one of the best depictions of a narcissist in media. Not in the colloquial sense, but in terms of someone who actually has narcissistic personality disorder.
Asuka strokes Shinji's cheek on the red beach because she has empathy for his pain, and she calls him "disgusting" because she's repulsed by his actions. Asuka is the audience surrogate of End of Evangelion.
@fairyIovesyou You have to remember, too, that one of the themes in Evangelion is how people use sex as a replacement for connection. This scene comes directly after Shinji is forced to kill the only person he's ever had a genuine connection with, and he's desperate to find that again.
@bornposting The fact that everyone still has to clarify when they say X that they mean Twitter. Only competition on that front is HBO Max becoming Max for a while.
@basedgizmo Unless they're gonna bring back Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega, I have no interest. That, or continue the Lakewood storyline from the TV series.
@RasberryRazz The Hammer Frankenstein series is pretty awesome with only two real duds (the Universal film in Hammer drag, Evil of Frankenstein, and the skippable failed reboot, Horror of Frankenstein).
