>>242270 I think I can field this one. Everything in Japan tries so hard to make people think. It does sometimes. To me, Evangelion was great when it cames out. Now, it's not bad, but it's nowhere near as good as a lot of people make it out to be (read: second coming of Christ, etc).
Shinji: typical male lead in an anime. shy at the start, scared, lacks one or both parents. grows slowly slowly slowly, ever so trudgingly slow over the course of the series. In fact, he really doesn't grow much at all, thinking back. He's supposed to symbolize all 14 yr old males. Just like every single anime and japanese video game that has come out since the creation of both.
The show was good, the stereotypical characters were boring.
Freud wasn't a psychologist, he was a pervert. Only reason anybody listened to him, was because they were perverts as well and wanted justification for fucking their mothers. (if you don't know what I'm talking about by this last sentence, lurk moar)
As for American tv. I'm an intellectual, if this post doesn't give you an inkling towards that. I won't lie though, when my brain is fried and I'm letting it cooldown for the day, I turn on tv. When I turn on tv, I don't want to think. I want to see guns blazing and footballs thrown. Why is that so much to ask? Why does everybody want to push their vision? I don't want your vision, I want to veg, relax.
Eva is depressing no less. Who wants to be depressed? Emo fags, that's who.
