Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, the main designer behind Evangelion, says that Shinji is a metaphor for the fans.
In that a majority ogle over Asuka, Rei and the like.
And yes he should have. I would have laughed like a loon... even more.

how ironic then, that shinji is still a whiny pathetic emo, in the new, shitter, more blatant fan-service filled remakes of evangelion
Surely if shinji reflected the modern anime fan, he would spend all his time in the eva wanking himself into a frenzy over pics of askua, mari and rei til the LCL turned white.
You just know someone's written a doujinshi of that.
I guess we'll have to wait until Evangelion 2.2.2.2.7: YOU CAN (NOT) EJACULATE
And for the record, the only NGE movie I've seen is End Of...

the first Eva movie was pretty good, as it was kind of like a spruced up, trimmed down remastering of the first half of the series
the 2nd one is shit though, as it totally fucks up the plot, characters and visuals. The third film (evangelion 3.3333333 1/2.64 XIII) should be well wank, as its completely new, and i dont know what the fuck they are thinking of with evangelion at the mo. Chalk that down for another failure of modern anime then.
