in the past couple of days I have seen yosposters argue that the sopranos is bad and the matrix sequels are good. very disturbing
i am not saying it is bad, in fact it is quite good, but probably not for the same reasons that people raved about it 15-20 years ago

and probably a bunch of anime

it was anime, because the wachowski's are obsessed with anime like they think it's this really obscure untapped vein of pop culture that only they know about. hence why matrix 3 was 40 minutes of characters you don't give a poo poo about talking about how they're going to have a dumb anime mech fight, then 40 minutes of a dumb anime mech fight, then 40 minutes of "this is really subtle and you might have missed it, but Neo is jesus, do you get it? <wink wink>"

SANDLER: Do you take naps during the day like me?

PLAZA: No, I can’t take naps. I don’t know how to do that. I’m a psycho.

SANDLER: When your parents told you to go take a nap, you just had your eyes wide open, staring at the ceiling?

PLAZA: Probably. I need to learn how to meditate or something.

SANDLER: I don’t have good naps. I have sad, sweaty naps, and I wake up upset.

Those robots were cool but I feel like they should have had some actual armour instead of being open cockpit death traps

eh, I could see the argument for this. the squids didn’t have projectiles but their cutting lasers made short work of even ship hulls, so once one got to you you were immediately hosed either way, and they could use the resources saved on armor to build a few more mechs

dude, you gotta end it on the rhyme

probably the most organic matrix 4 is if the ‘real world’ is also the matrix, humans as computational power etc. and neo as a program is just restarting the cycle again

given the footrakes each sequel has found im sure it’ll be dumber and disappointing

oh poo poo he’s transcends the matrix and sees on code gonna free them

reloaded: nah just means he can cosplay superman and he’s got the sadbrains lol

reloaded cliffhanger: like oh wait neos powers work outside the matrix? maybe it’s all matrix?

revolutions: nope, gotta go to a specific physical location instead of just persistent, distributed network that surrounds everything, for some reason?

anyway time for le epic clone tool battle

also would provide greater mobility and field of view

i am sympathetic to marvel tv fans who were disappointed because their show characters didn’t get a cameo in the big mcu movies

but matrix sequels are a good counter argument to keep it contained

these guys were really crazy in the manga! they’re Universal monster movie crew! gotta set up this crew for the mmo!

still not as hilarious as fortnite palpatine tho

that part actually makes sense, if matrix security policy is anything like high-security real-world networks there will be services so important that remote management is entirely forbidden so you have to go to where the hardware is and pass through real-world security

plus it gave us the shot of the hovercraft breaking through the clouds into blue sky, which is the best moment in movie 3

these people should also remember how the first half of agents of shield season 1 sucked precisely because they tried to sync it to the movies

My hope for Matrix 4 is that it is just one movie. A single, focused, complete story which doesn't try to set up two sequels. That was what got them in 2 and 3, too much universe. Scale it back, stop explaining things that don't need it.

That was back when Keanu was still kind of a joke in the biz, iirc. I don't think he has anything to prove these days. He could probs retire on John Wick megabux alone.

Who knows though. Hollywood studios never pass on a chance to gently caress up something that should be an easy win.

I actually think maybe in the animatrix there was some "machine war" bit where the suits did have armour and it was useless so maybe? otoh why didn't the machines just have guns?

also it had bombers flying across the sky blocking out the sun with smoke to stop the solar power because that was gonna work

i remember being in a doctor's office and reading a magazine (where else are you gonna find one?)

and keanu was trying to get past playing a dumbass in well, frankly a lot of movies but mostly bill & ted

he came off as a fairly intelligent dude trying to better himself through *shock* reading and meditation and it didn't seem like he was trying to be better than he was just on a self-improvement trip

and yeah he doesn't seem like the type to blow through money

if you were keanu what would you do? go surf?
