The original ending for Evangelion is fanastic and conclusive (minor spoilers ahead). The show was never about the actual “story”, it was always about Shinji’s own mental trauma and depression. Episodes 25 and 26 wrapped up his character arc succinctly and was a thoughtful look into what it means to find happiness. On that note, I also don’t understand why people try to seperate episodes 25 and 26 from End of Evangelion. I think they’re clearly two parts to a whole and need each other to be complete.
