You may say that it is usual and it actually is, but in original evengelion most of the character were actually pretty deep and unique, now Mari and the Shikinami just lack that depth inn general. Maybe because original Asuka's personality was sort of split between the two, or maybe because the screen time was split but whatever is the case neither of those characters look deep personality wise.
I mean this Asuka's main defining features are that she is a typical tsundere redhead that you see in 10000 animes nowdays, has one-eye (well will have) and is a captain. That looks a totally skin deep when you compare to how she originally was.
Mari is even worse in that regard...

Firstly, sorry I didnt have time to read all the posts here so I am just be repeating a topic all ready covered, but is it not given that the one eyed Asuka is not Shikinami but Soryu?
The taped up parts of the plug suit and the eye with the patch matches the damages EVA02 and Asuka suffered in EOE.
If this was the case, I think both Soryu and Shikinami will have sufficient plot to unravel in the 3rd movie.
I guess I just want to say, its way tooooo early to discuss the necessity of characters when technically we are only half way through the rebuild.
