Why not a prequel?
I feel like there's plenty of stuff that could use fleshing out.
Could this ever happen?
Or is there, dare I ask, any fan fiction which does a good enough job of it?
Hopefully not. The whole series is pretentious shit. Not to mention the insufferable fanbase.

But it'd be less abstract and therefore less pretentious. The prequel would actually give us the background of the original series instead of intentionally talking over our heads like the original series.

Like what?
They cover the earlier shit pretty well in those like 2 episodes when they cover Gendo's and Yui's earlier days. What more do you want to learn about?

Why? We've already seen all the pre-story events that really mattered.

>initial Project: Evangelion contact experiments
>Rei getting rekt

Forget a prequel, I want a spinoff of cute angels doing cute things.

>What more do you want to learn about?
About Shinji and his sensei.

It was an old man who molested him every night.
There, are you happy?

Now I really want to see what the prequel would be.
Have one with Gar Shinji as the protag.
If you're going to fuck up Eva you might as well go all the way.

Evangelion 2.22/3.33.
There was also this other fanfic where Shinji went back to episode 1 but remembered all stuff.
Also Asuka dies in it and Kaworu was a human instead of an angel but I forgot the name of it.
