ive only seen the movies

the movies imo downplay the whole psychological/immoral aspect that made nge master anime. i mean yeah they have more excitement/action but i didn't think it was neccessary to completely change the universe starting with 2.0 just because fans didn't like the last two episodes or EoE.

Im glad they did change it, cause otherwise there really would be no reason to watch them

i really don't think the rebuilds exist "because fans didn't like the last two episodes or EoE."

hideaki anno gives zero fucks about his fans. if anything, his fans piss him off. he hates the reasons why people love evangelion, and he hates that it became so big and totally undermined a lot of what he meant to do with the series in the first place.

if i recall correctly, he said the rebuilds are what he would have liked to do (visually-wise, i imagine) if he had the budget to do it back in the day. but other than that, he probably just wanted to make a new evangelion story basically just because he can.

he's a pretty bitter guy about the anime industry (and its fans) in general, and already was before he even started working on evangelion. that's why it was completely the opposite of pretty much all other anime up to that point. one commonly cited example is how he hated how quiet doll-type girls were so fetishized by otaku, so he chose to make a character like that but make her terrifying and grotesque in the end.

i think the guy just does half of what he does out of spite

EoE was created solely for the reason of fans hating the last two episodes, and when anno "fucked up" the ending again by fans of the series who don't want a stagnant closure, rebuild was thought up of. i dont trust anno with any interviews since he did suffer from major brain fuck during the original production and i still to this day find him struggling to comprehend just what the heck he did create. i mean yeah he is totally unpredictable but it seems like whenever you just produce a product to literally piss off the fans you bring in it's not a good approach. i liked original nge for its messages and offbeat allegories that teach us the reason why humanity is wonderful and humanity sucks. but as far as anno goes, you can't just create something to get back at your fans for spreading the wrong messages. art is subjective after all. goddamn it why am i rambling on about this
