but I also think it's understandable to react to that with "come the fuck on dude, Tokyo was just blown up."

"bro theres this giant alien which leveled half a city and ate 2 supernukes like it was nothing, we're just gonna need you to drown inside this nightmare engine with no training and take it out real quick..."
nah the entire situation was a horror show, humanity was on borrowed time as soon as a 14 year old was tasked with saving it
The stakes of the present moment are made out to be so massive, that I struggle to sympathise with him.
You see, the crushing weight of the task at hand is exactly why he is St. Shinji. To "fail" so purely in meeting tremendous unfair expectations set by what seems to be an uncaring universe.
You are currently not alienated enough from the socioeconomic order to relate to the sentiments, so you read it more literally and get frustrated. You don't see the picture behind the bigger picture.
Yeah I don't think the situation is optimal either
Nah that's an understatement lol it's so horrifically FUBAR that, as you mentioned, it's funny.
He has no-one else except maybe the sensei he mentions boarding with.
Yeah, I agree?
That's why a lot of people, including me, think he's based. We are legion.
Legit fuck you.
No thanks.
you are arguing as if I dismiss the bigger picture, the themes or the motivations of the characters, despite the fact that I acknowledge them.
Yeah you acknowledge them intellectually but clearly can't fully relate so you dislike the character. That's what I'm trying to say. I apologize if I wasn't being sufficiently clear.
Don't escalate things further with that hostility of yours, please.
