People are in denial because after more than a decade of wishing for Shinji to man up, when Anno actually does it, they complain that it's no longer the same Shinji.
Similarly more than a decade ago many of us wished that Asuka was less of a stuck-up b*tch... And lo and behold, when she's NOT a stuck-up b*tch, many people still don't like it.
Unpleasable Fanbase in action! Or rather, the Grognard's Logic in action!
