Mr. Tines: "I was expecting an Earth-shattering KABOOM!" This is a fairly anti-climactic end for an Angel.
UrsusArctos: As far as Angels go, Matarael seems to be a third-rate jobber (unless it has other abilities we never get to see). It's the only one to be turned into a sieve by a plain vanilla pallet rifle, and we don't even get to see Nerv dispose of the corpse like we did with Ramiel.
