Evangelion Evangelion 3.0 new info

I liked the film just fine, I just wish I knew what was going on. And I understand that yeah, a lot of it is bolstering us (as the fans) watching keeping Shinji's viewpoint as the protagonist, but it just feels like one big heavy handed asspull. And, if it is indeed a backhanded joke at the fans, the dude blew -how much in money- pulling this joke? That practically makes the entire movie one big joke... No, at this point, it's insulting. If it's Anno going "Lol you dumb fucks" then there's no real reasoning. They couldn't have continued off the track otherwise, they threw out these new plot points and didn't concretely explain any of it, instead choosing to focus on browbeating Shinji more, giving Kaworu an even -more- depressing death, and generally making me wonder if I could edit names and details, and send it in to Games Workshop and get a reply email: "That's too grimdark for -us- man."
Long story short,
What.
The.
Fuck.
Now, to talk positively, I really do like the whole flying airship of doom motherfucker, and I look forward to Q showing us more of anti-NERV, especially with how the movie ended with the three original pilots reunited, and it even looking like Asuka might be somewhat back to "Not as much of a bitch" mode, and Rei potentially gaining back some humanity.
But we all know how that will end, won't we?
A big middle finger from Anno.

It's honest criticism in my opinion. If someone writes a fic about X and then in the second chapter suddenly everything is COMPLETELY FUCKING DIFFERENT WITH NO EXPLANATION, I figure people will find the quality of the story suffers.
Don't get me wrong, just saying that my suspension of WTF was fine up until... this.

I raged for the first half-hour of the movie.
'Seriously, you fucks? After you made him pilot your robot, encouraged him to open himself up to the possibility of relationships, and therefore pain, egged him on into being a hero, make him emotionally vulnerable, and turn him into the kind of guy that would do literally anything to save someone he loved, you do THIS shit to him?"
I think Anno began to hate his fans nearly from the very beginning when he realized that people didn't see how much of himself emotionally he poured into Evangelion. Instead of recognition and thoughtful discussion, he got limp-dicked nerds who geeked out over Rei's smile, Asuka's ass in a plugsuit, and giant explosions.
Like I said earlier, I'm not sure if Anno is a genius, a troll, or genuinely hates what Eva has become.

And do you know what? I can't really blame him.
How do you think you'd feel if you created something by pouring all your inner most thoughts and feelings into it, and it became super popular - but the majority of fans only like it because of the most superficial and shallow reasons?
I can't imagine how frustrating it would be to for Anno to go to a convention or something, half expecting to get questions on the deeper relationships and character dynamics, only to be bombarded with "Shinji is such a wimp. Why doesn't he fuck Rei? She's so hot."
On a side note, was it just me or did Shinji not apologize once throughout this entire movie?

He did not. I was very proud of him.
Also, I totally would ask about the deeper stuff (Although admittedly I'd want to ask "How long until Shinji decides to pair up instead of having UST with -every female that has more than five minutes of screentime." Come on, I want him to have a harem, but throw me a bone here.)
Also, at that point I'd have to say Anno's being a whiny bitch himself. I mean, there's always going to be fans/readers/etc asking the dumb questions because that's just how things are. There's this group of people who like things because A. Then group of people because B. Then C, D, and E all the way to Z. Focusing on one dynamic and getting pissy about it is kind of childish, innit?
Edit:
On that note, I suppose it's only fair for a dude who did Evangelion uber-depressed and the like to have a fit about people mocking that point in his life. I know I'd probably throw a shitfit too.

Sorry for the necro, but I thought I might share this with anyone who's waiting for the official English release.
I contacted Funimation a few days ago, asking if it was possible to get an (rough) idea when 3.33 would be released, and received the following in an email:
It's nice to know that they're taking such care to make a great dub, bu I still want my (official) 3.33, dammit.

Sorry (again! It seems I'm due to necro this thread once a year) for the necro, but Funimation announced (Via AnimeNewsNetwork) that they aim to release Rebuild 3.33 late 2015/early 2016 (more likely the latter).
For anyone who's waiting for the official (NA) release.
