As for the ending, I will not rely on secondhand info. I need to experience it myself to understand it. Then, I might google some additional info before I draw my own conclusion.

Unfortunate side effect of any big series fandom. They NEED to focus on the shipping because it’s the only thing that makes whichever franchise interesting to them even when there is little to no presence of romance when the main story gets too boring for them. When it comes to this particular waifu war, to quote one vtuber’s weeb dad, you’re asking people to choose between kids and terrible people, so might as well choose EVA unit 1. It’s best to just leave them with their nudey settei pre artbooks they’ve collected and manga side stories and leave them be. Enjoy the series the way you want to without getting distracted.

In fact many people that watch the movie said that the key message of the movie is “move on” which includes “move on from your shipping”

Gen Urobuchi already had a chance to give us a mecha show, and he gave us Aldnoah and he ran away after 3 episodes .
There was also Gargantia, but it was largely not his idea. He just helped wrote the twist episode. I dare him to write a full Gundam show. Eva is a bit too formulaic in comparison. With Gundam, sky is the limit, as long as you integrate a Gundam and plenty of mechas in your story.

Anyway, I'd say RahXephon is possibly the closest we get to Evangelion without it being Evangelion. At least shipping isn't ambiguous there. |

I remember lots of talk after 2.0 about Rebuild being a retcon to Eva. Or some alternate universe retelling. After 4.0 it feels like an updated revision to Eva. Same core meanings minus the massive depression Anno had when making the original. Heck, you kind of gain more understanding of the original ending and what Anno was trying to convey by watching 4.0. As for the Angry fans, I don't get the sense Anno is saying screw the Otaku fans. Its just that some fans ships were sunk because Anno has a different perspective on the relationships between characters. I am very happy with how the shipping wars ended with 4.0 but I'll have to wait till everyone watches the movie before I can explain why I think 4.0 end makes sense for the characters.

Watched it
Spoiler:
This was really a grand send off. I don't know why people are upset but for me this is a very good conclusion. Couldn't ask for better. I'd personally consider this, the second End of Evangelion, which I also incidentally liked a lot To each their own in the end

So I decided to watch this in Japanese theaters, despite my own japanese ability being about elementary-school level. Even so.. I'm gonna dare to call this Anno's masterpiece. From what it seemed to me, Anno took the Eva series and wrapped up the story pretty nicely with a beautiful bow tie.
Spoiler for 3.0 +1:
When English Subtitles finally get put on, I'm definitely re-watching it. With the exception of 3.0, I've preferred the Rebuilds to the original, and this was a fantastic way to wrap up the series.
