>>2156807>People can't be wrong about their own worksSure they can. They can say that it represent this and this, while the work represents something else entirely. The author can be a poor writer that misunderstands a concept or reference to real life. He can be pretentious and just make references to concepts he doesn't understand, and therefore misrepresents in his writing.
Even when they make up their own rules, things such as plot holes and contradictions can come to exist. People aren't perfect.
>No one's saying you have to let it spoil your fun in your private viewing sphere, but when people want to debate the work and it's original created architecture, they can't lean on anyone's preferred headcanons - We would all be talking about different things then.We wouldn't, and I say that the only way we can actually ever consider Evangelion seriously is if we forget about Anno. You need to ask what Evangelion does, not what Anno does. The latter can mislead you into believing that Evangelion does something that it doesn't.
But as a rule, most people talk about what Anno does rather than what Evangelion does.
