So why did Gendo decide to paint his wife in pimpmobile colors, anyway?
She had to get her daily dose

because it's about ethics in instrumentality

Better question - why did Gendo decide to paint his wife like Barney the Dinosaur?
>>14181415
Barney is a talking dinosaur who survived the extinction event that killed the rest of his, and uses his mighty power to brainwash children across the world every morning on public television.
Why the fuck wouldn't you want a mech to look like something that powerful.

This makes way too much sense to me

Because he didn't? He got Xzibit to paint it for him.
Just the paint though or it would end up with a popcorn machine inside of it that would not work.
>>14180631
For the same reasons most Spider-man villains have the same color scheme.
Most protagonist and "good" faction mecha are designed in blues, whites, and reds, and NGE was meant to be a deconstruction, visually as well as story and character-wise.

What you don't know is that Xzibit painted and tuned all of the Evas.
LCL? Actually a slushie machine gone wrong.
>>14181729
Yes in the extra works you see that Xzibit worked with Gendo since the beginning.
>>14181704
They admitted to literally making the fucking plot up as they went. NGE wasn't intended to be anything except a mecha anime, and even then that's fucking debatable since the only actual mecha is that Jet Alone thing.

>X, you know I would never question your sense of aesthetics bu-
>This is about the teeth isn't it.
>Why did you put giant horror faces with nightmare teeth on the Evangelions, X?
An actual conversation that happened.
>>14181748
>Too scare a nigga.
>>14181895
>Oh, okay that does make some sense.
>Sorry I doubted you X.
>It cool nigga, it cool.
>>14181976
>But why do the pilots all have to be children?
>There's many reasons for that, you see. The first being, these kids we got lined up are fucking brats, it'll teach the lil' niggas some character.Second of all, would you, as a grown ass man, get into one of these fucking death traps?
>You are truly a visionary, X.
