I'm not sure why people are obsessed with Evangelion, what happened to make it some sort of "meme anime"? I never found it to be remotely popular while growing up, or even in the early 2010s when I did a lot of anime watching
honestly, I've found revolutionary girl utena did everything evangelion was trying to do better. but it was aimed at girls so no one talks about it.
It has a better movie than Evangelion, too.
Madoka is the Evangelion of magical girl anime. It's the one that people approach like "
actually, this one subverts the tropes of GENRE," but the genre has been doing the "damn, it's kinda abusive to expect a kid to be a hero" since the 70s (if not earlier).
It's really annoying when people are like "why are these kids saving the world in children's media?" The whole point is to give the kids a power fantasy they can project into while showing good moral actions. The shows that deconstruct it like eva or madoka are useful because society does place a lot of pressure on kids to solve their parent's problems(or the world's problems more generally) and these shows can be used as an example of that, but it makes sense kids wanna see other kids like them with the power to protect themselves and others.

I often can't believe some Japanese guy thought of this and was ok with making it. Like, really dude?
Then I think of some American guy who wrote the book "It".
The difference is that Evangelion is actually good unlike anything King ever wrote

I wanna make a show called Evangelion Proto-Revelation, where Shinji REALLY WANTS to pilot a giant robot but his loving father won't let him cuz it's too dangerous. Also he has a healthy relationship with his red headed roommate despite the mild sexual tension between them.

I still don't understand the ending
Tbh it felt to me like tons of symbolism to hide a lack of actual depth
