The film is supposed to stand on its own. 2.0 isn't supposed to rely on 3.0 and beyond to be "good." I am not randomly bashing an incomplete work. The film did a bad job at integrating her character into the Evangelion Universe, and really just felt like a self-insert by Anno. There was nothing powerful about her character, and the fact that she had aserious talk with Shinji like that, as if she understood him, although they met for a period of like 10 seconds is pretty much unbelievable.
If you can't see though that Kaworu obviously didn't get enough screen time to be developed naturally as a character, in an unrushed manner, then whatever. Yeah the plot demanded that X happens. How best to do that? Oh yeah lets introduce a character that (quite unbelievably) manages to get attached to Shinji in the span of a few days in the show that no one else is the show was able to, and then precede to execute a grand plot point just as fast and unnaturally as he was introduced.
Look, you're talking to someone whose favorite series is Evangelion, but it doesn't mean I can't admit a glaring fault/problem that arose with the production team's planning.
Oh yes, you threw in the word "subjective..." Guess what? All of what we are saying is subjective (Though Kaworu's introduction is basically as close to objectively bad of a flaw as you can get).
