So can anyone explain to me exactly what role Pen-Pen played in the larger symbolism of Neon Genesis Evangelion?

He's the Jar-Jar Binks of the franchise. Gets replaced later on by Mari.
David Williams
Humor and emphasizing Misato's loneliness.
Grayson Flores
He's the last member of the FAR
Anthony Myers
Pen-Pen is FAR.
Dominic Rogers
What if that's why he vanishes for the last few episodes until the congratulations scene? It's been a while since I've seen NGE, but when Pen-Pen is gone, Misato tries to reconnect with people and nobody laughs because shit goes down.
Luke Rivera
He's a comedy relief character used to add to the sense that the series is a normal mecha at the beginning. Removing him part way through signifies the shift in tone as the series moves from a fairly normal monster of the week series to something darker.
Nolan Murphy
Humor and emphasizing Misato likes to take useless shit under her wing.

Ethan Gray
Penguins mate for life, so he represent's Misato's & Kaji's ultimately unhealthy inability to get past the relationship with each other despite all those years.
Ayden Morgan
Oh, and when he goes away it's also when misato stops drinking, kaji is dead and she find a new drive to fight the powers that be.
Samuel Morgan
Pen-pen is God.
Jose Lee
He symbolised penguins.
Cooper Peterson
That sounds completely believable. I'm going to write a Cruel Angel's thesis on it.
Isaac Russell
actually, Pen-Pen was the true mastermind behind all this, so Penguins can rule the earth
Leo Stewart
Pen Pen is there to remind you that people get cucked by animals more than you would like to think
Jaxon Flores
Legitimately a good actually deep series knows that not everything should be a metaphor.
Adam Peterson
That's bullshit penguins get cucked all the time.
Alexander Jones
penguins are gay and suicidal. no deeper meaning senpai.
Robert Baker
He's only around cause he witnessed Second Impact
William Lopez
Shinji's penis.

To sell plushies.
Every anime needs a cute mascot character.
Tyler Cruz
He sure looks at Shinji's schlong at lot for a self-insert.
Leo Rodriguez
Shut up, Asuka
Xavier Morris
i'd ask he they actually did sell any
but of course they did
Noah Morales
The easiest way to see it is as a failed mascot. The angels actually took this role, and i doubt anno expected it.
But for the story, it shows misato as a lonely woman who only has her pet as a faithful companion. Kinda like a crazy cat lady,
Finally, it shows how fucked the environment it. Its a fucking HOT WATER PENGUIN, and most likely a survivor from the second impact (which happened in Antarctica) just like misato. I guess im slow but it took me a while to realize that last one.

Will they just rerelease Evangelion + EoA on Blu-ray again already? Fuck it would print money.
Elijah Cooper
No, because fuck you.
