But regardless. Shinji manning up is ridiculous, in my opinion. That goes against everything the series stood for.

Goes against everything the series had stood for? Are you sure we watched the same TV series? Or are we just too hung up on the fact that Anno is happy now instead of wallowing in the depths of depression, which many admit influenced the
tone of the anime.
In as much as
grognards hate it, Anno IS making Shinji 'man up', or at the least more emotionally stable. :P I do think the movie is better for it, since as Deathskillz so succinctly put it, the lack of whine factor makes it easier for a viewer to actually empathize now with, say, Shinji, than just wish that they'd die horribly in a fire.
