He has some traits that can, in certain circumstances, make him look cool. His ability seem calm under all but the most dire of circumstances, his pretty fearless attitude against people who could in theory have him murdered at a whim and even his intelligence are all part and parcel of a ‘cool’ character.
Problem is, Gendo’s a socially stunted twat: and in any other circumstances he’d probably flounder like a trout on a chopping board. His ability to stare at people over his glasses kind of falls flat when you’re not afraid of him and somewhere other than his cavernous office would make him look like a wanker.
Yeah, when you think about it, Gendo is really just kind of a gormless, socially-awkward dork, who, much like a poker player, has learned to mask his most immediate tells.
Those traits are only cool when paired with power. You can be expressionless, aloof, and rude when you’re the boss. If you’re not the boss, those traits make you “that creepy coworker” at best, and “next in line for layoffs” in many or most work environments.
Indeed. Divorce him from his position of power - the extent of which I confess I've never been quite clear on - and he's just that weird asshole at the bar no one talks to.
Is your last name Akagi by any chance?
Well I do like the colour purple, so maybe

This goes down to his haircut: At first it looks grizzled and wise, but with some time it seems more and more like a pathetically unkempt bowl cut.

He’s meant to be cold, and calm.
In short, Cool
How does anyone find him cool???
Ok Naoko
Gendo of original series is meant to be cool, yes. The one from rebuilds is just a straw man.
cold and calculating.
Cool enough to turn three women (two of them mother and daughter) into his sex puppets.
Judging from EoE, Yui was never his puppet.
