Not posted in fucking ages but moving on
I finished Evangelion the other day and did not fucking understand shit apparently (just don't think that psychological stuff is my thing) and then started watching JJK which proceeded to also discuss "Should we remove all human suffering" and I've come to the conclusion that I may have just not cared about Evangelion's characters enough to care about their conflicts on human suffering
(Also I'm not the world's largest fan on abstract concepts - nothing against them, just find it kinda mind numbing but in a bad way, so that probably played into it)
Anyway

carpro i think you have to feel a level of detachment from the world to empathise with eva's ending. It deffo is more of a 'lets all commit suicide because living this way sucks, yay!!' type of ending instead of the 'lets fix everything to be better for everyone' type of ending.
But yeah abstract art media isnt allways people's thing

I personally love psychological stuff, but I understand why someone wouldnt, and yeah a lot of the characters in Evangelion were pretty underdeveloped. I think if they spent a little less time on the mech stuff, and just a little bit more on fleshing out characters, things like the last 6, maybe 7 episodes would have been way better for it tho. I did absolutely love evangelions ending, to be honest. Is JJK any good for someone into that stuff? Havent touched it yet, tbh.
Thats a pretty good reason to not get into more abstract stuff, its definitely something only a niche amount of people will like. I personally adore the abstract, but I also prety much live in thought, lol. I can definitely see why it would be a bad experience if you werent a fan of hard to understand, purposely obfuscated ideas
