>>3623045>He straight up says he "won't cry" ever againHe says he won't cry in this situation anymore (he did this before, remember the loops?) Not that he won't EVER cry again or that crying is for little bitches and he's a cool shonen protag. He's saying that, he needs to put what he wants out of the way so he can help everyone.
> a literal war trauma even adults irl have serious troubles grappling with and, in retrospect, heavily sanitized his feelings about Kaworu's deathMy dude, the first 30 minutes of this movie is Shinji crying and wanting to die because of Kaworu. He decides he should do something at some point and isn't that not letting Kaworu die in vain? Like he did in EoE?
He even talks to his tulpaworu, thinking he's doing this because of what he told him.
>much more sincere and complex workKEK, you WATCHED 1.0, 2.0 AND 3.0 and expected some perfect masterpiece at the end of it all?
>Shinji leaves with MariOh they leave to another country right? Away from everything?
>Kaworu and Rei still don’t leave each otherYou are talking as if Kaworu and Rei had any kind of relationship at all.
They never interacted in Rebuild and in NGE they just met by chance. In EoE they just helped Shinji together.
ReiQ spent 14 years alone, she wasn't friends with Kaworu.
Kaworu's only friend in those 14 years was Kaji only and that too was an accident, he didn't bother forming any conection
