NGE had a character for lolita fans to fixate on. It doesn't need
anything more than that. It's like doing a websearch and
discovering that there's more Sasami porn than there is of Ryoko and
Aeka combined (dunno if it's true or not, but I think I vaguely
remember someone mentioning that it probably is). It doesn't matter
what the story does with the characters. It's what the fans (and I
use the term loosely here...) do with them.
Well, Core said Anno had created kiddie porn, and that's a different
kettle of fish (who you talking about, anyway? Rei? Asuka? I'm not
familiar with the fan community, so I don't know who they tend to
focus on). Fans do stupid things, yes, but they do stupid things with
everything. Google slash fanfic for Star Trek sometime, or your
favorite comic book. Scary stuff.
They still need to explain that damn space whale! You don't
introduce something like that without giving us some information on
how it got out there in the first place!
I really like the fact that they didn't, personally. It's bad plot
structure, true, but it's also reminiscent of real life -- there are
mysteries out there, and sometimes their mere existence is what
motivates us, not their resolution.
