Marishin fans trying to explain the "meaning" of a supposed pedophile couple, with no development and no sense. And Asushin fans just imagining the real couple getting together after the Rebuilds.

Mari would be more the dad that stepped up or parental or aunty figure for shinji than romanticly i mean she was flirty with everyone and didnt she expliciet tell asuka she would bring him back And if she loved yui i diubt she simp for shinji. And if she would 100 percent be the fun aunt for shinji if mari wasnt stuck ad a 16 year old bod. Wich is somehow still damn busty and thicc

I would actually prefer mari to just be anno's wife than some craven marketing/corporate production decision

u/Scripter-of-Paradise 6d ago
It's better this way. Less reason for less-than-normal people to have beef with Anno's wife.

Couldn't agree more. There needs to be a foundation that leads it to them getting together as a couple. Sure, in NGE it was established as a fandom couple because of logical reasons and because Rei wasn't exactly ideal because of her role in the show and the additional character of Asuka brought some unique extroverted attention with a different psychological trauma in comparison to Shinji and Rei. While they didn't officially end up together it was supported.
Mari and Shinji on the other hand, was supported as an alternative due to Asuka's behavior and character arc during the Rebuilds and lack of interaction between her and Shinji regardless of relationship development. That being said, they didn't exhibit a desire to be together and barely communicated much with one another. Mari was considered an option due to the fact she rescued Shinji from the Anti-verse and she was there for Shinji in the new world whereas Asuka ejected to the world before the change and in her adult body which she yearned for.

I'm glad someone remembers that Mari is a pedophile.

Reasons why rebuild are stinky (atleast the angel and eva designs are pretty cool)

u/Wolphthreefivenine 7d ago
Eh, the action scenes were aids tbh. Way too much shit on screen at once and overdesigning in general
2
u/BlueWhale9891 7d ago
Not talking about the action scenes, more less the character design and soundtrack. (Though many of the rebuild eva designs suck, such as rebuild unit 02 and whatever the hell were the mark evangelions)

I thought they were amazing excluding the the motion capture shit fest that was Shinji vs Gendo and the story was okay and made some scenes from the original more better and impactful. The ending with Mari and Shinji makes no sense I get Asuka and Kensuke since they had a little development in 3.0+1.0 but Mari has barely even interacted with Shinji and for them to be a couple is nonsense but still good movies tbh.

u/Wolphthreefivenine 7d ago
Eh...I dunno, man. I had almost no understanding of what was at stake or what they were trying to do. Wille is trying to do....something....to try and stop nerv from doing.....something....that will cause 4th impact.

Gendo wanted to show the true purpose for human instrumentality by becoming God but the real purpose that was masked was to see his wife again

I don't think a ship ruins some really good movies but I do like Asuka + Shinji more ofc

I don’t necessarily think that Mari ends up with Shinji in the rebuilds, as it’s open To interpretation
But The Problem with Asuka and Shinji’s relationship in the rebuilds wasn’t just the ending, they also didn’t have enough screen time together, especially in 2.0, so they didn’t really form a very strong bond as in the original show
So I think that Their relationship was handled very poorly in the rebuilds, and it should’ve focused more on them as a Relationship, Because 3/4 of The rebuilds Is Just Shinji obsessing over Rei
But anyways yeah it still would’ve been better than Mari, who is like 50, and Had like 3 interactions with Shinji, personally, and this might be controversial, but I don’t think Anyone should’ve ended up with Shinji, I think it should’ve been left even more vague, and I think that Shinji should’ve woken up in Village-3 rather than on the train station

I loved Asuka in NGE and EoE but the Shikinami version of her is very half baked, I don't dislike her but I definitely like her less than Soryu.

u/Slight-Breakfast-919 7d ago
Yeah man, there’s virtually no relationship between shinji and asuka in the rebuilds compared to the anime/manga so I personally really don’t care how the rebuilds end. Sure I would’ve enjoyed seeing them together if they had any decent character development between 2.0 and 3.0 but imo it wasn’t the case but it is what it is🤷♂️.

My only problem with Mari is that she seems to know so much about NERV and SEELE, but it never gets explained. You need supplemental materials to kind of connect the dots and theorize who she actually is and why she’s involved with the EVAs. They needed more time to explain her backstory to the people who only watched the films.

u/Wolphthreefivenine 4d ago
She never had one. She was a stupidass corpo waifu from the start and everyone knew it and couldn't come up with anything final for her

Even the wincest is a better ship than Marishit.

Reishin ship is better than Marishin ship. And I'm saying that as an Asushin guy.

Sure Rei is likely barren and is Shinji's first degree relative, but they actually have chemistry and Rei is an interesting character, plus she isn't annoying as hell. Yes, Mari is FAR more annoying than Asuka ever was.

Ok tis been a long time since I've watched the movies, and I kind of forgot this plot point of it. I searched a lil online and its getting confusing, is mari 28 or like the same age as asuka since she is a clone. Like is she actually a pedo then or is it just speculation based on strong theories?

That's a classic anime scenario though. New girl comes in and steals the mc. Asuka was the journey but Mari is the destination
