My Dad is a Rock Star?

My Dad is a Rock Star?

More like "My Son is an Ungrateful Piece of Shit".

Then he traced manga. Then they made him an inker so it all worked out.

When will this trope die?

They would always do this shit where they stand still, pose like the fourth pic

and shake their heads. like every ten seconds. I dunno.

...

Shit the last one doesn't even try.

I always hated this cartoon when it was one but I never could figure out exactly why.

But then OP reminded me: Willy Zilla is an annoying little shit.

I'm pretty sure that trope was created for child soldier characters with severe PTSD, but that some idiot repurposed for any unusual lifestyle.

Pretty much. Though one can imagine kids with parents who have public and active lifestyles may feel the same way justifiably, given anything they do is in public spotlight.

See Rusty Venture for possibly one of the most justified portrayals.

Wonder why he thought he could get away with it, especially with the last one being obviously a copy of Zaraki. It was pretty popular at the time, even though everyone that stuck around when it was good was waiting for it to end and see how ridiculously stupid it can become, which it finally did end this year. Should have done like Greg Land and used porn actor images or at least used a more obscure manga to trace.

Does this show have any porn?

...

As a kid, did anyone else think Alyssa was a qt 3.14?

Not soon enough

...

...

He also traces other comic book artwork, memes, and stock photos.

Point, meet Counterpoint.

The feisty redhead constantly treats him like shit and the submissive hottie is basically a doll who's also partially related to him.

You say it like that's a bad thing

It's not really presented that way, mind. Imagine being drafted at 15 to fly an experimental plane into the front lines.

Of course, pretty sure I read somewhere that being uprooted and otherwise having an unstable childhood can be literally as bad as combat PTSD for social and psychological development.

It's really easy to fuck up a kid. Gendo did it with minimal effort.

But at least Shinji didn't end up being a tracer.

Ender's Game and Animorphs did it better. Besides that, kids as young as 14 or 15 signed up to fight in both World Wars.

Audie Murphy had PTSD and an addiction to painkillers by the end of the war. His public testimony allowed soldiers to finally come out in the open about being shellshocked.

Point is, none of the real world counterparts were ever half as much the pussy Shinji is.

Shinji was a whiny asshole, but the situation he was in and the astronomical amount of pressure he was in to not let the world end would crush any user at his age. Also, both Eva girls are shit and that's why he became a fag.

They might have some training and have some team behind them. Shinji was put to fight in day one with no training and no preparation.
And besides a lot of the youngest soldiers in WWII from russian and german armies deflected or surrendered.
In the hardest part of the front it was very common for soldiers to shoot themselves in order to avoid war.

Signed up is the key term here, user. Shinji never asked for the robot.

Has there been anyone to even relate to Shinji?

His life is pretty shit.


Correct.

Let me ask you this user. Considering the time it takes to build the robot and train the pilots, in what fucking sense is there that there were no wingman trained to pilot the robots in the inevitable chance a main pilot gets injured? There is this even higher risk that a newfag pilot will even be competent enough to regardless of how in sync the mind is. This glaring plot hole seems to be brushed aside. But to be fair the last time I watched the entire series was years ago.

They didn't train them, they pick kids that were born 9 months after second impact then gave them a manual to figure out. In their spare time they run test to be in grater sync with their Evas
They had backups supposedly as well as the dummy system to take over if the pilot was unable to fight. Even then, they can't just switch pilots with any Eva since it has to do with synchronization with the pilot and can cause the Eva to go berserk if the pilots don't sync correctly. Sometimes the Eva will reject the dummy system, a new pilot and the main pilot if they weren't in sync.
To even find the kids born 9 months after second impact that are still alive and not assign to another countries Eva is a bitch, so anyone will do.
This series is filled with plot holes.

It was bullshit yes, but there was the fact that the robot in question has the soul of the pilot's mother. And that is why the called him, because it could be that the robot only work with him.
Nerv and the commander bet the whole mankind in Shinji and they didn't give a fuck.

What's wrong with a kid just wanting a simple normal life? You act like that's an alien thing in a world where autism is running wild.

Blah blah i wanna fuck Erin

I bet you if shinji was a girl you wouldn't shit on him so much.

There's a difference between wanting to have a calm lifestyle and being a boring shitbag

Or she would probably be trash like most Eva girls

They have a shitton of other Reis. Couldn't they just use another?

I understans the rejection. My issue is that, just like with Ms Marvel and Thanos incident, they had X amount of time to train a pilot to sync well with the robots before calling Shinji in. Ones that had a far better chance of not fucking up a mission. I could understand if excuse was that they were all dead before calling Shinji. But nah, lets risk humanity on a kid we know nothing about who for a fact has no military training at all.

Training as in finding as many qualified people that can pilot the robots. Cause on a mission that risks all of himanity you might wanna, kinda have spare pilots for the missions that are all essentially suicide missions.

Literally who?

There's no answer that can solve that issue besides that it was hard to find the right kids to pilot the Evas because SEELE had very specific needs for their ritual.

I think they implied that the eva was just finnished and they didn't even know if it was going to work at all IIRC.

I'm just curious how vague that initial introduction was. After reading that whole incident with Thanos time gap and people bring up Neon Genesis just had me think about that huge time gap of not getting more pilots before Shinji is summoned.

White Korra, the grill from the shitty The Escapist comic

I think that the EVAs could only be used by teenagers, and i don't think many of them could be considered exactly 𝘲𝘢𝘒𝘭π˜ͺ𝘧π˜ͺ𝘦π˜₯

They have a basement full of Reis, and they have a fucking entire class of possible pilots.

Was that picture drawn by Elias Ericson? Because the eyes are disturbingly familiar.

I love you guys.
