The villains, (SEELE) a secret organization who secretly control world governments, want to fuse all humans in to one to bring back their satanic god.
Now look at whats happening. They want to fuse men and women with transgenderism and nonbinary shit, they want to fuse countries and remove borders and create a one world government and they want to fuse races with race mixing.
Flavor text.
What you're not getting is the symbolism of Fuyutsuki turning off SEELE in 3.0.
It wasn't exactly a 4th wall break but there was definitely a metacontext. Sorry SEELE, you contribute nothing to the story (YEETED).
The eventual 4th wall break happens when Shinji is fighting in a cardboard city in a studio in 3+1. If you think EVA is about hot blood and giant robots saving the world, you're in the wrong neighborhood. That's Gundam town.
Original series only for me. Remakes are fake and gay. points at piano duet scene
Pleasantly surprised to find other people that hate the Rebuilds here.
I used to think EoE was a fitting end to the series, but after a rewatch with friends I think the original 25 and 26 are superior.
The point of Rebuild is that you didn't understand the original to begin with.
But I did understand the original.

Were this any other franchise, I would conceptually understand your reasoning for not wanting to accept the subsequent materials.
If we were talking about Star Wars, we can say with certainty that it was good, and then the later stuff was shit.
But in the case of Evangelion, it was always shit, and Rebuild exists to say: "Yeah it was shit, you were supposed to think it was shit, why did you spend the last twenty years pissing away money on Asuka/Rei figures?".
That's a lot of work for tradcon propaganda. At least the crazy jap guy got Asuka right by making her a massive cunt like real woman, his mistake was not killing her for real.
Mari is the same waifu bs pushed by all japanese cartoons, because no manchild wants to hear what they actually need is stoicism and discipline. If evangelion was made today instead of using freudian psychology it would talk about toxic masculinity and feefees and you'd call it woke
They DID make Evangelion today, it's called Darling in the FranXX, and it's shit.
Before Anno ran out of money and meds, that's literally what the first half of the series was about played more straight than even Gundam was doing at the time. There was more wangst and "I don't wanna fight!" in the first arc of Naruto than there was in the first 10 Angel Kills, until Leliel flipped the switch into the part its famous for.
