"If a person truly wants to live, they can make any place they want a heaven" - Yui Ikari
If you don't get THIS, then you didn't get the series. Crazy or not, it's there. One could debate half of shakespeare's works as merely coincidental, perhaps substantive or explicit speeches in his head, yet I don't hear any of you complaining about that. If you're so arrogant as to totally dismiss a text, then that'd probably grant me the right of ignorance to your unfounded comments. The underlying theme of Evangelion was so clear at times, though I can understand why some would percieve it as 'slippery' to grasp, due to its heavy use of jargon. You'll find you'll appreciate teh series a lot more after you've read a few FAQ pages about it. without giving any spoilers, i'd say the series was implemented perfectly, the reused footage used to give us ideas about shinji's changing personality, remembering the idea of the film being promoting individualistic opinions, not regurgitation. This was reflected in a letter from Hideaki Anno himself, the creator of the series. The impact in the End of Evangelion was refused by him, instead choosing his own path, his own life. He had an identity.
The first ending to evangelion was mentally perfect in my humble opinion, though some would say it totally diverted from where the entire series was initially leading. Sure, End of Evangelion was another great supplement to shinseiki evangelion, but it wasn't meant to replace anything. The whole idea of the series was perfectly summarised in the original ending. Change had occured, and shinji had achieved this goal of self promotion and worth. So what if you find his initial character 'pathetic'? If I recall, it's necessary to have change if one wishes to promote it as an idea. This is shown again in Hideaki Anno's Anti-Suicide letter.
I don't pretend to be divine on any issue, and accept the possibility of mistakes in my work. Please comment on what YOU think, NOT what others think. Again, the point of evangelion
