Everyone being pissed at Shinji without ever even explaining why or what the hell happened to him just completely took me out of the move. I couldn't stand it at all and so the whole movie was lost for me.

Unit 00 was a prototype, it make look like a standard Eva but in terms of mechanics it barely fits the description. It also goes berserk and moans a bit in 1.0 and NGE. Ritsuko and the rest of the NERV staff responsible for the upkeep of the Evas probably thought the containment they had was sufficient enough for Unit 01 but Gendo and Fuyutsuki knew the importance of having Unit 01 go berserk from time to time. Also for the scene of Unit 03, that was completely redone from NGE scene where Unit 01 just smashed the entry plug in its hand it was mostly a design choice to show just how dark the scene was.

Other Evas don't necessarily have to go berserk in order to have their mouths open or vice versa. For Unit 02 in NGE, it kind of went "berserk" when it's eyes split apart and showed four red ones, we didn't know it even had a mouth until EoE when it was completely ripped apart and went berserk again, only it's mouth opening was probably due more to being ripped alive. In 2.0 and Q it's mouth opened whenever the pilot activated beat mode. Unit 05's mouth went open when Mari pushed it to its limit. And Eva 13 only opened it's mouth when awakening, but since 13 is a restructured Adam, this is a special case.

Hey, I have a plot logic question. 
Alright, so if Evas are humanoid, as seen under their armor multiple times, and their armor also acts as a sort of containment, why were mouths built into the armor if they aren't supposed to be able to open their mouths?  As in, the only time their mouths open is when they berserk, which is bad because it's supposedly uncontrollable.  Eva 00 doesn't have the separate mouth armor, yet the rest afterwards do.  It seems like if they wanted true containment, they would have sealed the heads completely.  And if they hadn't designed suck a flaw to begin with, Eva 01 wouldn't have been able to chew 03's plug in the first place, circumventing that whole plot drama.

Soooooo because it looked cool to have mouths?

You guys may as well be speaking arabian or some complicated korean dialect that google translate would melt itslef over because I'm reading through this. And I can honestly say that I've had an easier time reading through works written by Steven Hawking.

I just thought I'd throw that out there.

You thing this is incomprehensible, don't even try to watch End of Evangelion. That shit'll cook your brain just from trying to figure out what in the fuck it is that you're even looking at.

Is it really something people don't understand? Or is this one of the few benefits of being an art major?

While this topic is still around, I've been binge watching Justice leauge and the episode i'm watching has Eva unit 02 in it for some reason
