    Is Evangelion a deconstruction of the Mecha genre?

    As much as Madoka is a deconstruction of the mahou shoujo genre.

    That actually qualifies it as a deconstruction.

    Deconstruction of the penguin genre.

    it's a fusion of Super Robo setting with Real Robo subject matter
    the archetypes are nothing new, but are subverted at the end of the series

    the MC never mans-up, the love interest ends up not loving Shinji, the older figure is not a Mentor but a dick, and the tsundere never goes full dere

    What people seem to forget is that when this show aired there was nothing in the anime predating its archetypes and story.

    But now Evangelion is observed with a passing glance because post-Evangelion anime contain elements similar. So thus, Evangelion seems like a mediocre series because it doesn't hyper-exaggerate the concepts it originally brought forth for easy audience consumption.

    Tenchi Muyo came out around the same time as Evangelion and can be looked at as the last of the old anime genre (characters, setting, themes). Post-Evangelion anime is a hybrid of that and old style with EVA having the forefront of a show's foundation.

    In a way, everything can be blamed on Evangelion for thrusting anime out of its old tropes. Whether Evangelion's story is good or not doesn't matter anymore. What matters is that presented a new genre and archetypes to use.

    Another observation to note, the "Rei" archetype doesn't fully exist pre-Eva. And the "finance obsessed" archetype barely exists anymore post-Eva.
