i pretended like Westworld ended after season 1 so to me it's a pretty good show that verged on very good when it wasn't disappearing up its own rear end in a top hat

i stopped watching westworld after season one, because it was clear that they wanted to explore their own assholes with clever narrative devices but didn't care about following any kind of rules for how their world worked

also you can blow their heads up in a mess of gore and just rebuild them, but if you take a little globe out of their nose, they're dead for good. probably. unless that's retconned in later seasons

haveblue posted:matrix 1: "the main character has become an invincible god" this is like the best bit of how the trilogy continued. he becomes unimaginably powerful but it turns out to be in a context fully created and controlled by the opposition. making it not quite worthless, but kind of inconsequential since your actual goal involves dissolving that power structure.

well in the first one they say The One will have the power to rewrite The Matrix as they see fit and wake people up en masse. that kind of went out the window in the sequels and The One just became Good At Fighting

it's incredible, because what you used to get were dvd "re-releases" that were straight up VHS transfers from some 20-year old rental tape someone found in a wet basement being able to really see the incredibly low cost effects, costumes, and sets makes it so much better
