I'm not sure that really works -- the version of the song that was used in the film was cut down from a longer version as is. Plus, one can really manipulate the timing of individual shots. I think there was a different reason.

Asuka screaming? As I mentioned to Xous, the sound (which, transcribed, is "KISHAAAAAAAA"... however that would be enunciated...) is made by Eva-03. But they have "(Asuka)" written next to "Eva-03", as if to suggest that Asuka is
behind the noise.
And, yeah, I bet the set for 3.0 is going to be very large, very expensive, and even more overloaded with rejected material that we'll get to weep over.

If they wanted to keep it, they would have just modified it to be consistent with other changes, like anything else.
BTW, was anything cut/unused with 1.xx?
There's at least some stuff, yes. I never took a really good look, though, since 1.xx was pretty boring for me. But I'll grab the books from home over Easter weekend and see if I can scan some things from that, too.
With regard to Shinji standing around and watching Zeruel's 'splosions, it seems to be conforming to the screenplay scenario here. Mari is waiting in the Geofront to fight Zeruel -- that part isn't different.
(Btw,
Reichu, you keep calling
Seele00TextOnly as "Seele08"...
)
Heh! I don't think it would happen if I wrote out her whole name. It's only when I omit the "TextOnly" that my brain mysteriously gravitates toward an "08"... I shall be more alart.
Random Goody: In the screenplay version, it looks like Zeruel tries to eat Eva-01 right before Shinji goes bonkers. "My tenant is feeling lonely -- GET IN MY BELL-AY!"
Post getting long... I'll reply to Xous later.
