I just don't understand why the child soldier won't just get in the giant murder blood robot he doesn't know how to control, the robot that has a traumatizing neural interface which makes the pilot feel the pain of the robot's injuries. The one that also makes the robot go berserk and kill everyone nearby if he's not focused (happens multiple times). His abusive absentee dad said he needs to! Didn't he read the script??
Tbh it seems like the world partially ended already - plus I don't think shinji really gets the scope of the potential disaster right away. It's not like NERV & Gendo are transparent about the stakes and their goals...
Don't know how far into the series you are but from where you've mentioned watching to, without spoilers, I'll say that as it goes on there are a good few silly bits, a constant undercurrent of creepy perv stuff, and many many more examples of why Gendo is a fuckhead lol. I don't blame Shinji for finding him sus at all
