That almost sounds sarcastic.

I think that the movies are really about letting go. Particularly in the context of Evangelion as a franchise. Like, at the End of 2.22 when Shinji grabs Rei from out of the core of the Eva, it causes another impact. When it goes into the third movie, I think it’s no coincidence that Shinji, being the audience self insert character, hasn’t grown up, whilst everyone else has. The pilot Asuka also hasn’t grown up either, she calls the phenomenon ‘The curse of Eva’, which is a little on the nose I think, referring to fans attitude towards the show. The whole movie is Shinji refusing to let go, attempting to get the world back to it’s original state and fix the mess he made by refusing to let go in the first place, in which he only continues to create more problems. He goes back to NERV, which is now just a shell, and to his father, who also hasn’t let go. He continues NERV, even with basically no employees or pilots, because he still wishes to instigate instrumentality, because he hasn’t let go of his wife.

I could probably keep going, but I think the central theme of is holding on/letting go. The movie is even called “You Can (Not) Redo”, clearly referring to the past and mistakes. The movies title is referring to Shinji still attempting to undo what he did, but he can’t. That is what the movie is about.

Relating this to it's meta narrative, I think the whole thing is about fans' relationship with the show. I think you're supposed to root for Shinji pulling out Rei at the end of 2.22. In that moment, you're just like Shinji, holding on to this show and the past. I think it's also not a coincidence that the first two movies are basically just a retelling of Evangelion, except maybe even more cheery (think, Asuka making dinner for Shinji). The rebuilds are almost like a reminiscing of Evangelion.

It's no secret that Eva fans are quite obsessive. In a way, I think the rebuilds are almost telling fans to 'let go' of Evangelion and it's characters. I think Anno felt almost bound by Evangelion, to this day it's the most popular thing in his creative career without competition. I think in many ways, he wants rid of it. Hell, I think he wanted rid of it by the End of Evangelion.

(I don't think I explained this all too well, I'm sure there's a better relation of 3.33's story and it's meta narrative somewhere else online, but that's the gist of it.)

he said something similar, the conversation went like:

"So they made a free time splitters remake"
- "What is time splitters?"
- "It's like Quake but with less autistic movement"
- "What is Quake?"
- "Uhm do you know what an Arena Shooter is?"
- "No.."
- "It's a shooter genre where you spawn with the same stuff as everyone else and uh-"
- "So like Counter Strike?"
- "No, it's based on picking up stuff like weapons and armor, and you have respawns instead of rounds"
- "Picking up stuff like in PubG?"

Then I went incredibly angry all of a sudden and didn't further elaborate

music is a huge interest of mine, and also happens to be my only one that is "social" you could say. I started with classical piano music very young and became the gifted poster child of my music school, doing concerts even. Later I kinda let the piano slip but I'm still very in touch with music, my focus just went more into alt genres (still like classical stuff tho). So it's more of the interest carrying the demands, like train autists that don't like being outside much but still go there to visit the train stations and museums.
Loudness is a problem with live / DJ venues but I always got specialized and discrete ear-protectors for live music to have passive noise reduction.
