The rebuilds were built out of pure hatred Anno has for his audience. Imagine making an anime that is explicitly about how shit anime is. Every character in Eva is a direct refutation of all the shit tropes. Asuke is the red haired Tsundere. But in Eva it asks the question of how a person could become so unable to genuinley express themselves, it shows the pain and horror of being unable to show affection. Rei is the Kuudere and in the end she is just one of a trillion clones showing how shit the trope is. The point is Anno is showing the audience the horrible trappings of anime and aims to go beyond them, deconstruct them. And it was amazing. And then it ended in the greatest movie ever seen.
So then years past and noe Asuka and Rei are waifu icons with their faces plastered on fanta cans and pillows for weebs. All the depth is gone. His creation given to his fans and they wiped their asses with it. Seriously here is what he did.
First movie nothing changes, its literally just eva. An almost 1:1 remake. Yay fans got "more" eva but really we got nothing fans were left disspointed, seriosly go and check the review from 2007. Then the second one again gives the fans what they want Shinji mans up and changes the timeline he becomes a genrric shounen charcter. And it was grabage. Then in the third asuka isreduced to fanservice no trgaic backstory just here are some 14 uear old tits No complexity just a fuck you.
Then we have this movie which shits on the franchise even more. We literally have the iconic imagery shat upon with shitty CGI mecha fights. here you pigs eat your slop. You never got what I was saying so here are some robots hitting each other really hard oh and 20 shots of asuka with no top or pants. Every iconic moment is retread on to no effect just horrible CGI with nonsensical dialogue. Basically "here you are an idiot heres some bright coulours oh and buy some Mari merch while your at it".
I mean even "thrice upon a time" sounds like he is done. We have to end this shit 3 times PLUS one more time. Even Anno admits he wanted to do live action after eva but he got ropped in to this rebuild shit. Like why do you think it took almost Seven years for this to come out? Was he working on it the whole time? No. He literally made other movies the whole time. Only when Corona hit was he actually forced to sit down and finish it.
the shitty generic J-pop the never ending garbage dialogue "oh the l layer is negative 4 blah blah" they are not saying anything. He did what most fans wanted. He removed the meaning and instead we got robot fights pasted on top of the real scenes. The shounen fans can be happy. Shinji got a big titty GF. Everyone is happy.
