Just because something is advertised to hell and back doesn't take away anything from the series: it's just an indicator of its popularity. I mean, those Rei love-pillows (and the whole sexualisation of Rei) is completely the opposite sort of reaction Anno was going for when he created the character.
I honestly have NO idea who Shinji is supposed to be portraying, seriously spineless daddy issues V.S. Giant mecha Pilot is not even remotely a contest, I'll give him being freaked out about the whole thing for maybe the first five minutes or so of battle but after his first victory he should have been all in on that shit not whining and wimping out at every available opportunity and that's just the mech side of the equation. there's what 4-5 girls in the series that try to get with him or at least give him the opportunity and he is just utterly clueless about them and any progression he makes at all as a character is immediately reverted to pre-eva shinji at the very first opportunity or with no reason at all in a jarring shift that would drop the transmission out of most cars
A) Now Just want some Doritos.
B) I picked up some Evangelion lighters when I was in Japan
C) ... I need to poop.

Yeah no! The people defending Shinji's angst, his complete and utter refusal to do anything at all, the self-centered defeatist attitude, his complete self-absorption and his daddy issues. Not to mention the new creepy rape tendency he got in EoE. Just no. You can't defend that. Not even with "It's supposed to be that way", "You aren't supposed to like him" or "The character is made to reflect a reluctant hero figure". Watch episode 25 and 26, they pretty much encapsulate all the problems with the character.
The way he is just never gets justified, yeah daddy issues great, now grab your balls of the nightstand and man up the world is about to be destroyed, you can mope and jack off to comatose women after it is saved.
If there is any part of Evangelion that needs to be ridiculed until it loses all comedic value, it is Shinji. Along with Asuka, the most subtle* character ever written we are all supposed to like and nobody in the show ever takes issues with. Shinji at least has the added benefit of being called out on his bullshit once or twice.
Nice comeback G and C.
I think I can One Up everyone else here, if you known what it is, congratulations, you have spent enough time on the internet to lose most of your soul
If you want they have the other female types as well. Sadly ladies and gents no Shinji version.

Nothing [http://www.yelp.com/biz/shakespeare-pub-and-grille-san-diego] is beyond merchandising, so I'm not seeing the relevance, much less ownage.
Never did see Evangelion either though. I figured that regardless whether or not it's full of symbolism and philosophy, I've never known either of those to become more interesting when espoused by and around whiny angsty teenagers. Quite the opposite.

I almost feel bad for the sort of people who would get mad enough over the previous strip to fire off an angry nerd rage e-mail. Almost.
Not to be a whiny *****, which apparently anyone who dares to criticize a joke criticizing something else seems to be by default, but isn't practically all popular media merchandized to hell and back?
