>>3096202Everyone in EoE acted as an exaggeration of their NGE selves.
A lot of scenes were done just for the sake of drama and meta rather than as a continuation of the series.
If it were, then Shinji would have seen Gendo as that personification. But as we all know Shinji never mentions or confronts Gendo once in EoE despite the series focusing on that nearly every episode.
And then we have Anno and Tsurumaki's own thoughts on EoE being a seperate ending and etc., it's a confusing situation.
