I love these. Just the idea of him being a frat bro is hilarious to me.

[–] thisisbutaname@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It could do with a few strategically placed "bro"s though

Bro needs to come back to our planet we destroyed in which there is no more steak and only paste.

There is also that weird cave rave orgy thing I guess? Or do we continue to pretend there has only ever been one Matrix movie?

[–] IronBird@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

i really dont get the hate for 2 or 3

Yeah pretty much.

[–] Schal330@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm onboard with that! Although can we at an absolute stretch acknowledge there were some good bits in Reloaded? The Chateau and highway fight scenes were fun with great soundtracks!

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Reloaded wasn't that bad, though the CGI certainly doesn't hold up. Revolutions was pretty bad though, apart from the action.

[–] Sharkticon@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don't think reloaded was even close to bad.

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Other than the CGI the only thing wrong with it is it's a setup for a bad sequel. That's why it'll never be good for me. I feel like I'm getting half of a story that'll never be finished.

[–] MeowerMisfit817@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I didn't watch the other movies sorry

[–] RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You need to watch Event Horizon, it's the best Matrix sequel.

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

I thought that was the Warhammer prequel.

Isn't this shot from the second film on the highway?

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

They made more?

Zion dance. I think I recall in the movie it's mixed with a scene of Neo and Trinity getting it on.

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

The animations were cool, too. Not sure if they were considered cannon though.

[–] LouNeko@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah but the Matrix probably had Burning Man back when it was good.

The older I get, the more I realize that Joey Pantaloons was right.

If I'm living a life in the Matrix, I'm not being harmed in any way while they use my body to generate electricity. Who really gives a shit? Does it make a difference?

Reality is just neural inputs translated by our brain; does it even matter where that input comes from? Does it make a difference if those inputs simply skip my five senses and plug directly into my brain?

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The crazy mass orgy dances happen outside of the matrix.

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's not a requirement. There's nothing stopping them from happening in the Matrix, and probably with people who smell a lot better.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

According to Agent Smith, humans also stink inside the matrix.

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago

Smith is just upset he's never invited to the rave-orgies.
