The Matrix somehow dodging all the bullets in this thread is fitting

Ohh, I'm calling it the fuck out. It's the worst of the three mentioned. Only the first movie is good.

First implies that there are more. It used to be a common joke to ignore the sequels because they suck.

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Ahh, I took it the other way and thought you were saying they all sucked. 😆

Heyyyy! The Animatrix was good!

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 1 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

That was a series of prequels, so it's safe.

And interquels to the sequels

Kid's Story isn't

The Animatrix doubled down on "humans are an infinitely renewable power source" long after Matrix was criticized for that bad science.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

What would you have them do, retcon the entire premise of the first?

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

They wrote themselves an out when Morpheus told Neo that everything he learned in the Matrix was a lie.

So yeah, Neo should have later flipped the script on Morpheus and his claim that humans were batteries. It would have pointed to a reason other than utility that machines kept humans alive. It would suggest peace was a possibility.
