My SO and I watched, like, 2 episodes before we started skipping through it because it's one part crazy, and one part boring as hell.

Contraversial opinion: since evangelion is a deconstruction of the early genre... that viewers might not be familiar with anymore. While NGE is not a parody, it's like when a parody movie outperforms the original and no one knows what it was even satirizing anymore.

Or, in other words, I feel it's rather dated so when new things are inspired by NGE they too are dated by proxy

That's the thing though. NGE isn't just all metaphors and referential material, so it has worth as an above average anime even just at face value. The best kinds of parodies, metaphorical/deconstructions, etc... are ones that have worth at face value and you don't need to know the source material to get enjoyment out of, like that Airplane movie. It's the opposite shitty media like The Scary Movie franchise, Duke Nukem Forever, etc...
