Dude, just indulge in your loneliness and kill people, you’ll become a hero! Wow Scorsese, brilliant shit bud
The message is more that even if you get could get hurt by others, it's preferable to open up and be with other people as you'll get as many good times you wouldn't on your own as you may do bad times.
why did Sinji try to strangle asuka at the end
that was a crazy finale...what happens next season?

Its a bit more nuanced than that honestly. Its not accepting yourself as much as it is accepting individuality DESPITE not fully accepting himself. He realizes he is flawed, he is lonely and isolated, that being seperated from others causes pain, yet still despite all of that decides to be an individual in the world figuring all of it out instead of the orange tang collective consciousness co-out. Which is a pretty positive and affirming ending.
what a dope...in retrospect he should have just stayed merged
I wish I could be this based sometime
Netflix redub of lain when?
Likely frustration. The motif of his clenching fist shows some suppressed anger, though notably he only developed that tic at a specific point of the show, I think after he got trapped in the shadow Angel though I'd need to rewatch.
Another question I'd want to know is why Asuka just lays there at the end. Perhaps her injuries sustained from the Mass Eva fight (the eye patch and arm bandage whilst mirroring Rei's injuries also line up with the cuts she took when her Sync rate was high and seemingly carried over to her recreated form).
Of course her getting her mojo back in realising her mother's soul was in her Unit, then getting slapped back down by the Mass Eva's wrecking her shit, then whatever sights she saw in Instrumentality likely put in back in that place when she was laid out in that bath-tub awaiting death.
>all I needed to accept myself was destroy the planet and turn everyone into a singular goo
and this is considered the best anime ever
probably just worn out i'd guess. She wanted to die seeing as she calls Sinji disgusting when he stops strangling her.
Just imagine it, you go through getting torn apart, your soul entering Instrumentality for mind-screw and through sheer will pull yourself out and get your body back, you're alive...
...The only other person is that guy you know jerked off to you whilst you were laid out in a coma.
Worst luck.

because she was a cunt and made him cause instrumentality in the first place
SEELE did nothing wrong.
