Quote:Very good points, and something that I think a lot of people overlook in stories of this nature. What makes for a really gripping story isn't the Eva vs Angel battles... its the smaller, human scale battles like the inner turmoil of Shinji... or Asuka dealing with her "I'm the best and I have to prove it to everyone" attitude. Or even Rei learning that just because she was cloned doesn't mean that she's less important as a human being.
Or to put it another way - was it the powers and principalities or the decisions of people on a more personal scale that made more of a difference in how things happened?
If you know the answer to that question, you know the answer as to how Doug influences the events of Evangelion. And that's all that needs saying.
These are all areas where a small influance from Doug could make major changes (and hopefully positive ones) to the Mind(censored) that is the original end of the storyline.
