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.
What do you mean, the first?
First implies that there are more. It used to be a common joke to ignore the sequels because they suck.
Ahh, I took it the other way and thought you were saying they all sucked. 😆
Heyyyy! The Animatrix was good!
The Animatrix doubled down on "humans are an infinitely renewable power source" long after Matrix was criticized for that bad science.
What would you have them do, retcon the entire premise of the first?
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.
That was a series of prequels, so it's safe.
Kid's Story isn't
And interquels to the sequels
Stanley is the best!
