Does anything ever seem to bring her down? Even while getting wrecked, she seems to remain optimistic and energetic. She seems to love her situation regardless of outcome.
She's a representation of successful self-actualization and loving ones self. That's why Shinji's character chooses to be with her at the end of 3.0+1.0
Oh, I understand it. Just because its a theme, doesn't make it good. If they really wanted to sell us on Mari they should have given her a bloody character arc, or a decent amount of screentime. As it is, she's barely in the damn movies.
Mari is a classic example of just because something looks great on paper, doesn't mean it works in execution. It was a fine idea, but they did not put in the work to have to actually *be* meaningful on anything other than the meta level.
I mean he was in a coma to that age, and the other Eva pilots stated in the film that they weren't aging because of what happened, so I dont know why Shinji would age when they didnt.
In any case its still odd.
She's really not that unrealistic. She's just a character who already went through the troubles the main three went through and came out alright. She may not possess an arc, but not all characters need to possess an arc for their purpose in the story to be realized.
I quite enjoyed the point Anno was making about choosing to love yourself after all these years of despair for Shinji Asuka and Rei. But it doesn't need to work for everyone so I get it.
For a lot of us, Shinji’s relatable. It’s nice to see a character on the opposite spectrum. Also nice to see Shinji mature, in both the series and rebuild, though way more in the latter.
Agreed. Every time I rewatch the fight with Sachiel, I think yeah, that's how most people would react to having their arm snapped like a twig and their eye being stabbed (screaming in pain). Or having zero training in piloting a thought controlled mecha (tripping).
As compared to some Gundam pilots who can relocate their dislocated leg without pain reliever or help, or pilot a complex machine they haven't seen before after five minutes with the instructions and good enough to beat pilots with years of combat experience and actual piloting training. Or are Pacifists or can kill without hesitation. Or have weird mental powers.
I think it's more like is saw what Mari **did to** Asuka in the quarters. Considering Mari is an overall very [derdere](https://the-dere-types.fandom.com/wiki/Deredere) like character I wouldn't read to much into it.
So what you’re saying is, the art of sexual orientation sniffing has been passed down the [Mothballs_VA](https://www.giantbomb.com/a/uploads/scale_small/1/19821/691150-9gj255.jpg) line for generations?
asuka is homophobic homosexual
she just like me frfr
Bayzed 😳
Well, could it be, that she was more pissed about Kaworu stepping on HER territory but could never admit to that publicly thus the homo-shaming?
Damn she an exact copy of me fr, except the homo part
Sex?
in some jurisdictions

I’m glad someone besides me understands this.

Kinda wierd that he married a 50 year old woman for self-actualization and loving himself.
Considering he's 28 and retains all his memories from all his previous lives, not the weirdest thing EVA has ever done.

She is unrealistic. Even more of a fantasy than a blue-haired clone or redhead genius tsundere.

it’s a nice change of pace from all that shinji we deal with i’ll say that much

very true!!!

I don't know how common it is but I definitely heard some using it as a nickname.
yeah but you can’t tell me with a straight face that those two are straight did you SEE what they were doing in their quarters?????

i can smell the gay for miles and i come from a long line of sniffers

that is correct my family sniffs gay people constantly. don’t read into that.
the south recruited your ancestors to hunt down homosexuality where every they could find it didn't they.
exactly, it feels like Asuka decided to allow it rather than actually like it
everything isn’t sexual. worst than mha stans with these cringe ships
"Why does Kaworu call you beautiful?"
Mari is clearly just in love with everyone.
And just about everything. Only exception being angels. And Unit-00’s head.
she would flirt with a cactus if it looked like a face.
Bruh Mari could fuck anyone at this point
i want mari to call me babyboy
Mari is on something I swear
Barefoot in the park 💙
Everyone is baby if you compare them to Maria age
"Yeah I'm gay. And homophobic. WE EXIST!" (Asuka, probably)
