>>3555903I've almost genuinely typed out this exact analysis before, and it follows that I definitely agree. It APPEARS that there is a definitive element of resentment or, perhaps,"revenge" embedded in his work and this is partially corroborated by what he's stated. Still, I can't believe that one man can allow such rage to consume his at the expense of telling a story. The first thing I thought of (after quelling the ball of rage that had sprouted up inside me) was that there had to be something I missed. We're teleported into a world bizarre even be Eva's standards and are meant to leave it confused, enraged, etc... That is, to feel precisely as Shinji did when he was disoriented and walking through the halls of nerv - from the perspective of both the directing and the storytelling in 3.33, this much is obvious. To what end, though? Can he be that petty? I don't think so despite it all, but, then again, we have characters like Mari who are literal fucking memes
