So Netflix Evangelion...
Jun. 21st, 2019 03:29 pmSo Netflix has brought Evangelion back and the fandom is as wanky as ever.
So far I have seen folks using the new dub to be transphobic shits about the new Shinji's VA.
Folks way to bent out of shape about Fly me to the Moon being missing from the credits. I do think it’s a bad change but come on there are bigger issues than a rights issue stopping them from using it on the credits.
The far more justified complaints about how literal the new translations are and how it looses a lot of the punch of the original bug me far more. I mean reducing a plot important I love you to I like you loses most of its punch in English despite As far as I know Like also being a possible translation of the Japanese. The fact that using like and other changes downplays a lot of the queer subtext of the scene in question also makes it an annoying change.
And speaking of annoying of course Antis already showing up throwing fits over folks sexualising the characters of Evangelion of all things. I mean you'd think purity crusading assholes would avoid the show to start with since it already sexualises the fourteen year olds but nope watching it is fine but don't you dare draw naughty ship art or write naughty fanfics.
