[EVA] Gendou - man or monster?

[once at ix.netcom.com]

By the way, Reichu, I want to apologize to you if I've been sounding "aye, a mite too strong" as they said in the Irish Spring commercial. It's not my intent to cause drama. I can understand the traditional areas of discussion in Evangelion; I've done that myself for years. I just didn't understand why looking at characters from a moral perspective was invalid, especially as Anno seems to have given us a wide range of moral perspectives from his characters. Again, people take on these questions all the time with other kinds of fictional work--why not Eva?
