>If he doesn't go back they do the whole planet does
Where's the military in all of this? Why aren't they getting involved?
>Rei, Asuka Misato, Kaji, his friends from school
All the people that were giving him nothing but shit?
>only a unsympathetic asshole would willingly stand by and watch people he cares
WHY does he care about them? He's known them for five minutes and they've given him nothing but shit. There would be nothing wrong with, and be completely reasonable for, someone in that instance saying "
Fuck the world, let it burn".
>Pay attention man
I haven't seen the series, I'm just going off of what I've heard and what you're saying.
>Shinji and Rei are the only ones that can pilot 01 it will literally not move for anyone else
What about all the other Evas? In fact, if the Eva doesn't fucking work, then the next logical thing would be to scrap it and build a new one that does.
>There's a reason why they have children piloting these stuff
Because it's a shounen series?
>and its because they literally are the only ones that can by nature of how the evas work and are made
Sounds like a design flaw that no reasonable person would overlook. The Evas are suppose to be weapons. A weapon is useless unless people can use it. The only exception you can really point to is if the weapon is made
FOR someone specifically, but you then shitcan that being the reason with the statement:
>there is an entire sub plot point of Shinji's school being a breeding ground for potential pilots.
So there is zero reason why the Evas, a man-made weapon, needs to be designed like this except for the purposes of "plot". And there's zero reason why the series needs to focus on Shinji, a kid who wants nothing to do with the world around him, other than said "plot" bending-over backwards because it "wants" Shinji to be the most important person in the universe.
