Be honest with me /m/

If you were Shinji, would you pilot the Eva?

Would you get in the robot?

I would do it to save everyone. That sounds cliche, but around that age I grew up reading heroic fiction and watching Transformers. That and my father would be watching me--I'd prove to him I was worth a damn.

Look at the whole context here. Shinji didn't hear from his douchebag father for years, Gendou pretty much abandoned him. And now that he notices Shinji exists, what does he want him to do? Sit in a robot and go out to get yourself killed - and for what? Shinji doesn't know what the stakes are, not yet. All he knows is, Gendou wants to put him in a big robot to fight a big scary monster. The same kind of robot that ate his mother so many years earlier.

Shit, what fourteen year old boy WOULDN'T get in the Eva
you have the irresistible combination of Girls Watching + Dad Watching + Robots
once the reality sets in and the angels start getting bullshit overpowered I'd probably do the same as Shinji too. Guilt is a powerful motivator.

At first, yes. But they would have to butter me up a shitton after the fucking travesty that was the Sachiel fight. I'm talking 6 figure salary AT LEAST, motherfucker. You are Nerv, I know you have the money.

Otherwise, I walk after Ramiel. You needed an Eva pilot, but now Rei is back in action and Asuka is here. They actually want this shit. I'm out.
I'm willing to sit on the bench for an emergency situation or whatever, cause this is the fate of the world we are talking about, but after saving the world three times in a row I think I deserve a break from the hellish torture machine.

Being in Shinji's position implies you know the same things as he did at the time and other characters treated you as they treated him.

It looks intimidating, but piloting Mazinger doesn't involve being submerged in liquid or feeling the robot's pain.

If the situation was properly explained to me, yes. If I don't save the world, who will?

If I were under the misconception that they could get someone else to risk their life (like a fucking adult, because apperently I'm 14 if they want me in an Eva.), then no.

Either way I wouldn't be a whiny shit like Shinji. Not even as a 14 year old.

I wouldn't have much of a choice. My backup pilot is an injured girl who'd probably die if I didn't do it, and that's bad news for everyone else too.

After that's all said and done I'd try to get in a relationship with Maya
only to find out she's a lesbian

Yes, Shinji did everything wrong though, here are some things I would do instead.

-Sing music to the angels until they listen to my song.
-Focus on the Kaworu route, homosexuality with gay space aliens tends to prevent becoming tang'd.
-Give birth to a giant space flower of UNDERSTANDING.

Yep. Gendou held a battered albino girl at emotional gunpoint, which was a very dickish move; couldn't say no to that. Plus, I'm not assertive enough to say no when all those bitches keep telling me to jump into it.

I would also beat the ever loving shit out that bridge bunny Maya or whatever her name was. Fucking dyke couldn't even keep her shit together and all she had to do was read whatever shit that pops up on the bigass screen. Seriously fuck that whore.

except Sayaka in MazinSaga.

You are submerged in water in the cockpit and on top of it, you have to wear this sexy armour.

If that's not torture, I don't know what is.

Me at 14 years old? Yeah, I'd pilot it.
Assuming I survive the first encounter, and considering I had overcome depression through force of will and did not have a tiny little brain, I'd probably use the AT-Field more aggressively. I wouldn't have wussed out of dismantling Touji's EVA, for example, and I would've broken formation to go support the other EVAs.

Don't know if I would've jumped in the volcano, though. Probably. Eventually.

And I wouldn't have fucked any of the ladies, because fuck you, Life. I'm not playing your little game!

Like, don't get me wrong, I was an prissy little asshole and you wouldn't have wanted me as a friend, but man I would've kicked ass. I mean, many of the emotional problems of the cast are stuff I had dealt with and overcame, so I wouldn't have been so insecure.

Hell, this is the thing, when I saw NGE I'd get frustrated with the pathos of the characters.

If you can just will your way out of it without therapy or medical help, it's not depression.
