Mary and Magdalena #2

Description

While Shinji definitely feels attracted to Rei, I think of their relationship as more of a mother/son one (with Oedipal tones thrown in). I think of Asuka as the girl that, if both of their parents and the world hadn't traumatized them so much, would be the one Shinji would date/fall in love with. Rei and Asuka are kind of like the Virgin Mary (mother) and Magdalena (who was initially a prostitute, but then went on to become a disciple, and, arguably, Jesus' wife/girlfriend/partner).

Evangelion loves to mess around with Christian ideology, that's part of what inspired the shot.
