Give me one fucking reason why Shinji-kun was a better protagonist

>>146863369

He's not a shitty ultra man

>>146863369
At least Shinji's VA isn't Kaji Yuki.

>>146863369

At least Shinji did something with one of the girls in Eva unlike Eren.

>>146863369
He has depth.

>>146863494
AoT's waifus were superior though tbf

Mikasa > Rei
Annie > Asuka
Armin > Misato

>>146863369
He's a mess for a god damn reason.

Which is more than I can say for 90% of beta MC harem-shit

>>146863369
>le angry little man

Shinji is 100x times more interesting than Eren. I like Eren but he's a typical shounen protagonist

>>146863413
Explain?

>>146863369
Shinji almost ended the world to save his waifu. Then he did it again with his husbando.

>>146863369
He's not generic.

>>146863881
>implying Shinji isn't the most generic of the two

Seems rare these days to have a MC with essentially a Napoleon complex, rather than just being beta like Shinji.

>>146863491
Hey he did a pretty good johnny in ASB

Whose show suffers more if you replace them with an average MC? It's pretty obvious if you frame the question that way.

Better question:

Which show suffers more if you swap Eren and Shinji into each other's show?

>eren is angsty teenager who hates everything and everyone and wants to kill all the titans, a complete monster who killed a man when he was ten and felt absolutely no regret about it, and was this way before the Titans did anything to his family
>shinji is one of the best anime characters of all time
>shinji's reason for why he acts the way he is are perfectly justifable
>shinji still tries to better himself as a person but he fails by the end of it because life fucks him

Shinji is better then every way then Eren.

>>146865003
Both suffer equally
eva is now a regulat action mecha show
All action in Snk disappear and make it incredibly boring

>>146863369
Shinji isn't a single-minded moron.

>>146863369
Because his show isn't shit.

>>146863369
can't, shinji is shit in every single way.
Though AoT doesn't have giant bio-mech fights or a hot blooded red head, so there's that.

>>146865180

All of SnK's action wouldn't disappear, you'd just end up with Mikasa doing all the work. Shinji would be even more of a bitch if he had a protective sister like her.

>>146865188
Literally fucking this.

Eren is so single minded, so shallow, and overall such a weak character.

People bitch that Shinji is a whiny little bitch. He totally is, but at least he feels like a real fucking person. Eren comes in with "I CAN DO WHAT EVER I WANT BECAUSE I'M THE PROTAGONIST! I DON'T NEED DEPTH I NEED COOL POWER AND VENGEFUL MOTIVE!" He's literally Sasuke, and part of the reason SnK is unreadable.

>>146863369
>>146863545
This. Whether you like his personality or not, Shinji was believable and felt like he could be an actual person. Not that a good character has to be realistic, of course, but Eren is very forgettable.

>>146864951
I actually downloaded it to my NAS, but I had to switch to KA because it wouldn't play right for some reason. My laptop's no better without a dedicated graphics card. The streams are lower-quality, but they're actually usable with my hardware.

>>146865550
I dropped the manga a while ago and casually look up whatever is happening at the moment because of the pacing, but when I read Krista's backstory and how her character turned out all I could think was "Man, now I wish she was the protagonist instead of Eren." In hindsight it probably wouldn't work but even Armin is more likeable than Eren and Mikasa.

>>146863369
Literally nothing. Regardless of how good NGE is, Shiinji is still one of the worst protagonists ever created

>>146863369
shinji is elliot rogers and eren just pisses me off

>>146865550
>>146865609
A real person would need more than a night in a hospital bed to be fine after spending a day in the Dirac sea or a month dead. At least a juice box and some quiet in between getting rolled in a car by a WMD and cracking jokes.

>>146863369
Because I can relate to Shinji a lot more.

>>146866140
No, more than that. Asuka comments that he recovered crazy fast when she admits defeat to herself. The most actually detestable thing about Shinji was that piloting didn't bother him as much as he claimed for sympathy and he could have gone on forever as long as he received it.

>>146866436
What the fuck are you even talking about? I thought Dirac was some attack on titan bullshit. If you mean the LCL sea, it's fucking magic or whatever, and so they don't need water.

>>146866486
hes talking about when the angel came and sucked up part of the city, it was the one making the shadows that also took out eva 4
not the LCL sea that they talk about

>>146866659
Same concept. It's fucking magic.

>>146866674
It's funny, whenever I see "LCL" I think, "lifted condensation level", the height at which clouds form.

>>146866674
Not really, all the drama of the episode was his life support running out. Slowly while he watched it tick down, resisting the impulse to use it up struggling uselessly and decrease the chance of a rescue he didn't know was coming and had no reason to believe was possible, the angel poking him in the brain whenever he fell asleep, until he curled up to die. Then he got out and was okay.

>>146866941
Okay, so what's the problem then. According to your version, he was saved before life support ran out. Why would he need extensive healing time?

>>146866893
That is funny.

>>146864951
Have fun torrenting all your shows and waiting for them to download only to discard them later you elitist piece of shit.

>>146863369
i can deal with shinji being a faggot since his life is crap
but eren is one of the worst mc ever created

>>146864951
Stop fucking replying to a literal redditor who barely watches anime

>>146866998
Not extensive care, just maybe more than a nap to forget everything he experienced and then never say a word about it to anybody. And maybe some treatment for hypoxia.

>>146865550
But anon, the manga never glorified that side of Eren's mentality and completelty shattered it during the Uprising arc.

>inb4 photoshopped and paint skilled

Die

Everyone besides Misato treated him like garbage, and yet he still came back to save them. His character was an exploration of depression and not a teenage fantasy of how badass it would be.

>>146868570
>Everyone besides Misato treated him like garbage
Rei didn't do anything wrong and Asuka was no worse than the average teenage girl.
>His character was an exploration of depression
I never said he was a poorly designed character, I just hate him as a person

>>146868495

But he doesn't think he deserves it.

It's the standard media file for anime, and it means that I can watch shit without stream quality. When you stream something, you download it to your cache, but there's no way to save it. Downloading it through XDCC means you can watch it while it's downloading, and you have a copy that isn't stored on the RAM.

Have an old screenshot because I frankly cannot be assed to get off my phone.
