People who insist that Eva isn’t a deconstruction have become even more annoying than those that do because most of the time they reveal that they know less about the Mecha genre than they think they do or they straight up don’t understand what deconstruction actually means
People also love flinging this fucking image around now too without thinking about actual connections between Eva and Mazinger because that would require thinking about art being in conversation with other art and not having a dick measuring contest to feel better about yourself
“It’s actually a a Ultraman homage” in what fucking way other than Kaiju fights and surface level Christian imagery? “Actually Gundam already…” the series that was already a deconstruction of Super robot shows that came before it?
