Evangelion is such a simple series to follow yet people act like its a cryptic enigma. Death/Rebirth has Shinji literally scream out the point. All the wacky symbolism is just because the Japs think Christian shit is edgy and cool looking, the same way we do with other religions here.

The guy's summary is pretty good, though its far too short to truly prove its point because there are bunches more examples of it he missed. Which is important when trying to counter the both pro and anti Eva narratives that have been going for 25 years.

Its also why Rebuild isn't nearly as good. Instead of being knee deep in depression, Anno has long since conquered it and is now super famous. So it has that far less raw emotion and instead feels written to be about a message, instead of simply being about it. It also turns his raw hate for Otakus, and his fans in general, into a bludgeon he wants to use instead of screaming at both them and himself to get over it.
