>>17 You are just angry because Shinji is not the "hero" anymore.

Personally, I preferred the original, but it was lacking in some aspects, especially characterisation. People kept misreading the characters' motives and significance. The rebuild filled those gaps, but the world building and pacing is horrible.

Also, I would have preferred the Directorate to remain as mysterious as in the original. The reveal made it all so banal and stupid, and the kabbalistic motives seem tacky now.
