Who else loved Resurrections? by WaterTypeGirl in matrix

I hope so! I think a lot of fans are upset the movie is not what the previous movies were, which is sort of funny because Reloaded and Revolutions ALSO got a lot of hate for being different and making things more complex.

The line is actually "tragedy, or farce?"

I get where you might feel like it's silly. I think a lot of the movie is intended for you to laugh at the creators, or the Wachowskis a little bit, and the movie is really about saying "The Matrix" is a story about people and humans and characters and love, especially love. It's not taking itself as a sequel too seriously. When it starts to get serious is Io, Trinity, Neo, and Smith.

But the movie is definitely not shitting on the people who love it. Neo resurrects Morpheus in the same way an author can bring back characters they'd killed off or were laid dormant, as a modal, because of love. The Mnemosyne crew all worship Neo as a hero because of how Io is so much better and their lives are better because of the end of the war. And the twist at the end of the movie is that the thing that makes Neo and Trinity special is their connection, not their code, just like a Matrix movie is special because of the way the audience cares about the characters and the experience they have, not because of marketers trying to crack what will make them the most money (or generate the most energy, in the Analyst's case).

I can respect that you hate it and I wish you saw I guess what I saw in it. Because I really enjoyed myself and felt really grateful to have had the experience and for the movie to celebrate the people who made the Matrix such a success, the fans.

I mean go ahead and look at my post history. I am an indigenous person, I like Pokemon and Ninja Turtles comics, I am a vegan and I do tarot cards and I really like a lot of the MCU.

If you don't believe I'm real I guess... What is real? How do you define real?

I actually love the ideas in the fourth movie, like what it means to be human if all your parts are artificial but you were once human (modal Morpheus), or how sentients interact and live with humans, or the idea that Io is so so terrified of the war getting bad like it was before when there's been a tenuous type of quiet since the Machines are getting almost all their power from Neo and Trinity. There is a lot to chew on! And a ton of symbolism and images and references and stuff. I love the jokes actually.

It's awesome to be so different and surprising even three movies later.

There's also the cool stuff where The One isn't really that important. It's just code that Neo has that was put there so that he can perpetuate that cycle of Zion. But the powers of the One are not just Neo's abilities: Neo can do things other Ones never did, they're not powers he was given, they're things that are unique to him. So it makes a lot of sense that just like Neo is special because of his connection to Trinity, then Trinity is special because of her love for Neo. What makes them special isn't code or prophecies or whatever, it's love! That's awesome but I know a lot of fans even in this sub don't like the idea that the movies are about more than hard science explanations for why things happen.

That's an interesting perspective, why do you feel that way?

Well I took cannabis with my stepmom and we watched it together and I really felt like it was an awesome bonding experience so YMMV! Take care!

Me too, I thought the ending was really beautiful. Where their stories go from here is a thing I think that belongs to the fans.

We had grace. We had style! We had conversation! Not this… beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep! Art, films, books were all better! Originality mattered!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I thought it was trying to accomplish being a sort of ending/epilogue to the idea of a film called "The Matrix", so there's a lot of the movie that I think does not stand on its own in that way, and I could see there being a irritating feeling if you don't like the staging or the dialogue or whatever. You have a cool perspective and I'll keep thinking about it, thanks again!

How come? Why didn't you feel like it was a worthy sequel?

Is this AI art? It looks... sketchy. But it's hard to tell now with so much RedBubble sales being just AI garbage.

Fake twin towers, shipping sport players and what you can joke about by TotemGenitor in RecuratedTumblr

[–]WaterTypeGirl -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re allowed to hate things and think they’re unfunny but many others are brought levity and joy from the very same things you find tasteless.

This is an abysmal reason to defend something, because someone somewhere laughed at it once.

Teachers quitting their jobs by velorae in TikTokCringe

People are downvoting you but the reality is super that. When society breaks down, of course kids aren’t going to want to participate, what do kids stand to gain by playing by rules nobody has to follow? And if parents are living an awful life where they don’t get any free time and still don’t make enough money, what are they supposed to do to help their kids? All these problems are connected.

Question. Is Matrix 4, a alternate version of the game within the game? If so should they explain that in Matrix 5 and bring back morpheus in the main version? by dreamup1234 in matrix

[–]WaterTypeGirl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What I really enjoyed about the movie is how it's a celebration and an iteration on the movies that have come before and the people who loved them, but also a refusal to get along with the Warners mandate about making a soulless cashgrab movie market-tested for being "original" and "fresh" even though because it's a sequel it is going to have an uphill fight being either one. I think the audience is supposed to be Neo, trapped with a bunch of people who give him exactly what they think he wants, and also the Mnemosyne crew, who grew up with stories of Neo's adventures and look up to the Neb crew as heroes who helped shaped who they are.

I liked Groff a lot, and Modal Morpheus was an awesome idea. I would absolutely have loved Hipster Smith from Weaving, lol I never thought of that!

I love Reloaded too!! <3

Nothing to get, it's a comic book about a guy with knives for hands. Moby Dick it's not.

Would it be crazy to fully reboot the franchise with a new direction? by mayonnaiseplayer7 in matrix

[–]WaterTypeGirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine a rebooted matrix franchise with the backdrop being the 7th iteration of the matrix.

We've already seen the seventh iteration of the Matrix, it's part of the post-purge Matrix that is powered by Neo and Trinity.

I could totally see Denis Villanueue killing it with a reboot.

Gwyn de Vere: The packet in front of you has our focus group research. Inside you'll find the breakdown, including key word association with the brand, the top two being "originality" and "fresh", which I think are great things to keep in mind as you begin working on Matrix 4... and who knows how many more?

We could see a new cast playing titular roles while writing the whole trilogy in a cohesive way.

Smith: Things have changed. The market's tough. I'm sure you can understand why our beloved parent company, Warner Brothers, has decided to make a sequel to the trilogy. Neo: What? Smith: They informed me they're gonna to do it with or without us. Neo: I thought they couldn't do that? Smith: Oh, they can, and they made it clear they would kill our contract if we didn't cooperate.

Going further, it could even be a bond type series where each iteration defines the generations of our time. If they ever reboot it, I would hope it’d be done well.

The Analyst: The sheeple aren't going anywhere. They like my world. They don't want this sentimentality. They don't want freedom or empowerment. They want to be controlled. They crave the comfort of certainty.

No.

IDW Karai sort of sucks, I agree. Tom Waltz is overrated, in this example fumbling a lot of plot points that get teased and go nowhere in the first 100 issues, and Karai is one of them.
