These details actually make End of Evangelion make perfect sense.
Anyone who honestly thinks Rebuild of Evangelion is merely a cash-in isn't giving the movies a fair chance. Aside from being significantly different from the series (major changes start happening at the end of the first movie), this time around, they might actually have the opportunity to fit in everything they'd intended from the beginning.
