Line 35:
** In 2.0, at one point Kaji exhibits [[No Sense of Personal Space]] towards Shinji and pretends (?) to try to kiss him.
* [[Germans Love David Hasselhoff|Irelander's Love Gendo Ikari]]: John Swasey, Gendo's VA, comments how surprised he was at a convention in Ireland to find how popular [[The Sociopath|Gendo was]]. Who knew?
* [[ItsIt's the Same, Now It Sucks|It's The Same, Now It Sucks]]: Some fans and reviewers have leveled this complaint against 1.0, since it's a near-exact copy of the first 6 episodes, with a handful of new scenes and updated animation.
* [[Like You Would Really Do It]]: [[Genre Savvy]] audience members know Shinji won't ''really'' set off Third Impact at the end of 2.0, since there are still two more movies to go.
* [[Memetic Molester]]: Just try to do an image search for Mari ''without'' finding at least one fanart of her molesting Asuka. Or Rei. Or both.
Line 52:
* [[Rescued From the Scrappy Heap]]: Shinji and Asuka, depending on whether you found them [[The Scrappy]] to start with.
* [[Superlative Dubbing]]: The dubs for both movies, particularly the second one, have been heaped with praise, even from people who hated the dub of the original series.
* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]]: Inevitable, considering that the original series has been analyzed and overanalyzed for every ''day'' of the decade since its release.
** Asuka's English VA, in the commentary, noted that she was sorta disappointed with the fact that, 1) Asuka is not obsessed with Kaji in 2.0 (in fact, she barely notices he exists) and 2) never got to speak German. She subverts this, though, as she still loves being Asuka, and is glad Asuka survived getting smashed during the Bardiel battle.
* [[Uncanny Valley]]: In spite of the character being more sympathetic overall, ''Rebuild of Evangelion'' manages to have Rei be even further in the [[Uncanny Valley]]. The ominous BGM that always plays in her presence (at least in the beginning) made it quite clear that Shinji definitely senses something ''very'' unsettling in her.
** {{spoiler|Zeruel after it absorbed Rei definitely qualifies. The bottom of a woman body topped with an angel? Augh.}}
* [[What an Idiot!]]: Mari Illustrious Makinami, and her brilliant, brilliant strategy in Unit-02: attack it head on, and if that doesn't work...''attack it head on!'' {{spoiler|Without paying ''any'' attention to the fact that the angel has dozens of dangerous tentacle-blade-things!}}
** Probably justified, since {{spoiler|Mari had activated the Berserk mode of Unit-02; with the EVA set free and awakened, and considering the empathic link between the pilot and the Unit, all that crossed Mari's mind probably was "KILL, MAIM, DESTROY, BURN, RIP APART, EVISCERATE, etc.", thus tossing all tactical thoughts through the window}}. More of "What a Nut" than "What an Idiot" here.
