'The Matrix' is a Badly Dated Male Power Fantasy

>The theme is that being a handsome, white, middle-class, thirtysomething professional is ultimately not very fulfilling.

What kind of brainlet confuses the call to action with theming?

>"let's not think critically even though we claim to like a movie that dares us to question everything including our reality, everything is awesome just gimme my blue nostalgia pill KEKEKEK!!!"

they only consider skin color, whites a dumb label in the first place

I admit St.Tarrant has a point.

>And a massive shithole compared to comfy Matrix
Oh.

>let's not think critically
>WHITE MAN BAD

I really fucking dislike snarky articles like this from no-talent cunts that will never create anything worthwhile. The internet has killed journalism.

Given the enormity of the discovery that reality is a computer generated simulation and the rise to power of a chosen one who has the potential to gain godlike powers and save the human race, it would seem somewhat extraneous to shoehorn in a plot about Trinity getting even with a crew member who mansplained something to her.

>Isnt campaigning for equal rights
>Mr. Anderson doesn't fight the robot overlords in order to get humanity its freedom back
Hmmmmmmmm

I fucking hate the next generation

>quarter black person is still black
One drop rule

>It's really simple. The truth of that one is that design staff on The Matrix were given Invisibles collections and told to make the movie look like my books. This is a reported fact. The Wachowskis are comic book creators and fans and were fans of my work, so it's hardly surprising. I was even contacted before the first Matrix movie was released and asked if I would contribute a story to the website.

>It's not some baffling 'coincidence' that so much of The Matrix is plot by plot, detail by detail, image by image, lifted from Invisibles so there shouldn't be much controversy. The Wachowskis nicked The Invisibles and everyone in the know is well aware of this fact but of course they're unlikely to come out and say it.

>It was just too bad they deviated so far from the Invisibles philosophical template in the second and third movies because they blundered helplessly into boring Catholic theology, proving that they hadn't HAD the 'contact' experience that drove The Invisibles, and they wrecked both
'Reloaded' and 'Revolutions' on the rocks of absolute incomprehension. They should have kept on stealing from me and maybe they would have wound up with something to really be proud of - a movie that could change minds and hearts and worlds.

>I love the first Matrix movie which I think is a real work of cinematic genius and very timely but I've now heard from several people who worked on The Matrix and they've all confirmed that they were given Invisibles books as reference. That's how it is. I'm not angry about it anymore, although at one time I was because they made millions from what was basically a Xerox of my work and to be honest, I would be happy with just one million so I didn't have to work thirteen hours of every ****ing day, including weekends.

Yeah, better to have no prominent black people or women at all, right?!

>matrix is a male power fantasy
>made by two transwomen
Uh oh...

It even sadder considering Will Smith was originally intended to play Neo.

If the shoe fits. :)

2nd paragraph: It's almost like one of the points of the movie is that there's something sinister going on beneath the humdrum existence we know.

>>The theme is that being a handsome, white, middle-class, thirtysomething professional is ultimately not very fulfilling.
NO IT'S NOT.
Could this be any more wrong???

Let's be real, any kind of male power fantasy would feel dated to these people

Dude, DRUMPF.

This is LITERALLY unironically textbook (and then some) racism.

But that's okay, because it's whitey

>by war or climate change or the rise of fascism.

>by people getting murdered by the thousands or some bullshit that makes me feel uneasy

Dodged a bullet there, The Matrix would have been shit.

They're not, it's just a handful of obnoxious retards who are long overdue for a good slap.

I heard Chow Yun Fat was also going to play Morpheus. He could pull it off though.

It must be miserable to only be able to view movies, literature, etc. through this sort of political lens. You're never able to actually enjoy anything or take it on its own merits. All you can do is sit there and scan it for political problems. It's like being some kind of government inspector, but instead of it being your job, it's your entire life.

Yeah i agree, the bible is also a male power fantasy. For shame

A movie written and directed by two trans-women is now a "toxic male power fantasy"

What a bigot the article's author must be.

Not anymore for good reason. He saw the teratoma.

middle class? he lived in a fucking studio and had to do crime to pay the rent cause the office job didn't pay him enough, also he is hapa, fuck journalists
We need a plague that kills all journalists, only after that will the world be free to think without the brain poison these people write

>that dares us to question everything including our reality
Literally trannies, and that's disgusting.

The left devours itself.

Wasn't the whole reason Zion wanted to end the machines was their oppressive rule (you have no choice of being a battery or not to them) and that we blocked out the sun essentially destroying life on Earth?

the problem isn't even that the article's political, it's that they're supplanting fact with appeal to emotions
Keanu Reeves is not white and if the author of the article is really that left-wing-minded they wouldn't consider the Wachowskis to be men, his point of view is politically paradoxical and false which exposes it as an ego-bloating exercise rather than a genuine action based on personal principle

Which act?

I know this is clickbait but if you re-watch the Matrix you see how often Trinity and Morpheus have to essentially drag/convince/cajole Neo into advancing the plot.

Also Neo is really just a self-insert for teenage boys (A Boy named mary sue?). Morpheus and Trinity are the cool ones fighting the resistance battle hardened and shit.

And if you don't believe it, you are one of them.

Does it matter?
He isn't a nigga or spic.

his character was destroyed in the sequels

I'm the OP of that comment and I agree with you. Not implying it was bad, like you said he was the one to appeal to the core audience.

But we also forget how many girls liked the Matrix back int he day because of it's goth/industrial look, Trinity was a badass, plus a few thought Neo was QT.

I remember the Matrix as one of the first action movies that were popular with girls. Of course more boys liked it but I remember it being broadly popular, except with older people who hated it.

If you have not at least begun hormone therapy than you might as well be a tower guard at Dachau

Not that film version, that's for sure

uhh, I think they might have watched a different movie.

>I really fucking dislike snarky articles like this from no-talent cunts that will never create anything worthwhile. The internet has killed journalism.

Hemingway said essentially the same about critics in the 1930s.

They can't stand anyone being less miserable than they are hence their unrelenting effort to drag us all down with them.

Journalists should all be lined up in front of firing squads.

>implying capitalism is not a bigger threat than fascism or climate change
Neo was right to escape his shitty drone life.

He was clearly right, and now the problem has been amplified

But it's literally an empowered women's fantasy??? This article is very problematic targeting strong women directoresses like that.

The author of course also doesn't point out the androgynous look of all the characters. Matrix had a pretty space Bowie mixed with trenchcoats aesthetic.

Didn't Neo just happen to be white though? Given the fact that Will Smith was under consideration for the role.

Literally everything is badly dated going by that definition, there are movies from 2014 that would be considered badly dated, every single thing that's not made today is badly dated

I wonder what will they say about Captain Marvel which is pretty much the same

Faggot kys for wasting our time with this lame clickbait bullshit. It was probably written by some roastie that pulled it off reddit.

This is click bait. The writer knows it's retarded. It's designed to get the attention of two people: idiot 17 year old girls going through a woke phase and you. You fucking idiot.

no you are right.
and these things definitely come into the calculations of those makeing the movies.

Those lads whose minds were blown went on to tell everyone else at school about it, and clown the guys who missed out.
>What is the matrix
That was such a great campaign not only because it made you curious, but it actually tied into the theme of the movie.
Hate to sound like an oldfag but if feel sorry a little bit for you zoomers who don't get to experience organic cultural phenomena like that...everything feels so phony anymore.
fake reviews, shills, politics, fan sites selling out to the big producers, zero originality, every IP owned by one of 3-4 studios...
I think the only thing that will save it is if technology improves to the point were a very talented user with a vision can make movies outside the studio system.

This trailer makes you curious, but it doesn't tell you what the movie is about, that was the genius of it, and you could never to that today.

He's right about the point that in the 20th century we thought that history had reached a point of indefinite stability, and that all the problems humanity would face from now on would be psychological in nature.

>This is click bait. The writer knows it's retarded
Does he? I truly don't believe he does. It's 2019 after all

believe it or not user, studios used to pick actors based on who they thought would do the best job, or could put butts in seats.
Race was actually a secondary concern

>Malaysian coral gardening board
These keep getting better lmao

i still don't know what a matrix is or how it's tied to the plot of this movie. that definitely helped with piquing my curiosity

that trailer shows everything in the entire movie

And that's why white people will be the first ones eliminated. Just let everybody walk over them.

Imagine trying to do this with a movie like Us. You’re thinking the whole time “but this is a black family” and it’s hard to just “enjoy” them movie. Now imagine you are black and you try to watch any other movie.

Because the only one that matters is white guy and his white girlfriend

Yes, again he's missed the actual way the movie works. There's no movie without Morpheus and Trinity. Morpheus is the one who's actually trying to find (in some ways create) THE One.

This. Who even goes to these sites?

Everyone knows Keanu isn't white what a retard

yeah, it shows you a bunch of cool shit but if you hadn't seen the movie you wouldn't know how it comes together.
That was part of the fun, the speculation.
then you watch the movie, thinking its going to be just some cyberpunk action movie featuring a mumbling surfer, but you get this trippy end of the world scenario with fights that are standard today but were a new thing for american cinema at that time.

fpbp also Keanu is a hapa, fuck this racist author

>Scholo
seriously?

>Race was actually a secondary concern

Not really, if you were non-white you had a lot harder time to get big roles unless you were one of the few lucky ones to get into A-list. It was worse for women but even black men suffered from this in the 90s unless the part was specifically written to be "urban" i.e. token black.

Where in the movie is any of the characters' races an issue at all? Of course in the year 2019, even that is SOMEHOW problematic.

>handsome
Seems pretty sexist to objectify him like that

But she's fighting for NON-WHITE refugees!!

Oh wow, I wonder what the studio culture was like in communist Chyna

But blacks don't write articles like this they don't care about that shit that much beyond Black Panther hyped style movies (or anything Spike Lee)
Nobody points out that the entire Madea franchise is based on a black tranny trope that was tired in the 80s and again in the early 2000s when better comedians (Eddie Murphy) tried to revive it but it's not 'problematic' because Tyler Perry has dark skin

So basically any film with a white protagonist will be labelled a "white power fantasy" from now on. Good to know.

Maybe in the 40s

Why was the architect white?

God is a white man

There's nothing transphobic about the Medea movies. Men dressing up as women in comedy isn't mocking the trans community.

>unless the part was specifically written to be "urban" i.e. token black.
thats like 90% of black people so it fits really

>Be black person in 'white' country

But since Neo was not written to be white, then this movie should be a GOOD example for the leftist loonies.

I like seeing white people in movies. Most of the time the black or diversity casts are ugly as fuck

But it does still end up representing white people with Keanu in the lead and him being the chosen one. Death of the author.

Nobody wanted Thor or Spidey to have “minority” sidekicks but libtards.

The Chinese seem to feel the same way. I do as well. Why the fuck do they keep picking ugly non-whites for roles? At least pick people like Halle Berry or Idris Elba who are good looking.

Will Smith.

The alternate universe take on this article where Will Smith was Neo and Val Kilmer was Morpheus would still be him whining about white people, because of how problematic is to have white Morpheus teaching the truth to black Neo.

Spider-Man has had multiple non-white supporting cast members over the years, from Hobie Brown to Robbie Robertson You fucking pleb. And Thor has had people like Hogun since the 60s.

Who haven't been in any of the movies.

exactly
if the white male is not the villian, they will find some way that his mere inclusion in the story is an affront to them.

Will Smith was one of the few exceptions. Same way as Denzel Washington. But for every role they got that didn't hinge on the character being black you damn well known a dozen roles were denied from black people because "it's not an urban role" or because the executives didn't think it'd sell with a black leading man. Pretending otherwise is being disingenuous.

But the lead character is a person of color since he is half East Asian, making him Asian-American.

its like they never watched the movie. the villain is literally A FUCKING WHITE MALE, beaten by S&M fetishists to save a black guy, and crush the patriarchy.

directed by two ubertranny gay incest MtF pervs.

Boomer detected, the class system has evolved and is rather foggy these days gramps.

Why don't you use your money to buy some philosophy books to read, that way you have something of a fulfilling life, and so that your office job doesn't suck?

Women are capable of making male fantasies, it's not hard when the Hollywood action hero genre is by default inherently one.

Has there ever been a more depressing movie scene than today?

I'm pretty sure she just wants to fuck the Leaf Ryans (Reynolds and Gosling).

Most peoples lives are just fine.
These hacks consider their click bait to be journalism, and consider themselves to be artists.
They see people like us who work for a living as beneath them and can only imagine our lives are boring, mundane and depressing.
We see a job/career as fullfilling and as a means to have the things in life that bring joy, like family
They just see a sucker who should be helping to save the planet instead of having kids the planet can't afford to feed.

Not really, there is a reason Val Kilmer was going to be Morpheus if Smith was Neo, Hollywood execs think that no one would have watched both Will Smith and Laurence Fishburne, Hollywood has always been obsessed with race.

Maybe. but she says Canadian men are non assertive pussies who only talk to girls when their really drunk so i dunno.
but i think i'm probably better hung than both those guys so I welcome the challenge.

Carrie-Anne is also Canadian.
She was in a show called Matrix years ago (about based hitman Nick Mancuso coming back from Hell. Pretty good little show)

>she says Canadian men are non assertive pussies who only talk to girls when their really drunk
That's true. But we have a secret. When we are in our own country... we are always drunk.

I generally agree with your point, but having been alive at that time i remember how blacks were always portrayed as cool or strong, especially will smith.
I feel like a morph-neo with fisch-smith could actually work in that people would still want to see it.
Will smith always plays will smith though so i don't think he'd have been a good neo in general.
what other young black actors at that time could have played opposite of fischburn? (just noticed how jewish that name is btw)
but yeah, studios are stupid.

What about the Biebs?

>studios used to pick actors based on who they thought would do the best job

Oh bitch please. This wasn't even true back in the days of the studio system when they could actualy cultivate their own stars. Hollywood has always been discriminatory by its nature because it thinks of money first and foremost. Studio executives also fucked actors way more blatantly those days and then put them into movies and roles they had no talent for. Howard Hughes was notorious for doing that kind of shit. And other times studio heads just held grudges and would rather give the role to a lesser actor than let the best talent have a crack at it because they wanted to settle scores or put someone in their place.

That's the real reason Wolverine lives in the US: he can't get drunk anymore with his healing factor.

Michael Jai-White had done Spawn few years earlier. And he knew actual martial arts.

The Canadian Governement is working 24/7 with Satan on a spell that would strip The Bieb of his Canadianism.

you're probably right, i just felt like at that time mid-late nineties, everyone was telling you how cool the brothas were and thus they should be on tv and movies.
I think it came out of some of the racial strife of the early/mid nineties where everyone was just over it and just wanted to move on.
What happened btw...how did we get back to square one?

No comment section either of course fucking BBC

i actually thought of him, but he's too big a guy.
morpheus was the heavy, neo was twink-kwan-do

It could have been Billy Blanks big break.
That guy was good. Too bad all his movies are straight-to-vhs tier.
The role of Neo doesn't require that much acting skill. He would have done fine.

I don't think he was that ripped in the late 90s yet. Nobody outside of Arnold really was.

I'm just picturing spawn, and that badass deep voice he's got, might have made a decent morpheus come to think.

Let's make it a 90s b-movie fest and cast Gary Daniels as Morpheus and Kathy Long as Trinity.

That's because r*dditors are awful racists. They don't care if your Carribean, Ethiopian, Jamaican etc. you're just "black" to them

>i just felt like at that time mid-late nineties, everyone was telling you how cool the brothas were and thus they should be on tv and movies.

Because blatant lynch black people racism had mostly died out, but it never died. Internet just gave it a new voice and platform and now people on Yea Forums think it's actually cool to be racist, when in fact it used to be just be a form of ironically edgy, contrarian humor.

The casting in the matrix was super progressive for its time. this is nonsense.

The only bbc stuff worth reading is pidgin.

I haven't thought about this movie in many years. when it came out me and my dad went to see it and just left because of how shit it was.

Cute how he overlooks that Neo was looking for truth the whole time, that he had a nagging suspicion that he was living in fucking clownworld.

>a form of ironically edgy, contrarian humor.
yes, and it didn't come from a place of hate.
we used to actually find racial humor funny, and it actually brought people together by recognizing our differences.
When i was growing up the line was "everyone is different and special in their own way"
Now its "everyone is the same and if you think otherwise you must be a racist."
what happened? seems like the old way was better.

pol btfo!

Also cute how they bought into all this identity politics bullshit and turned an “us versus them” of have-nots and haves into an eternal “us versus us” Victim Olympics.

Zoomers are without a doubt the most cucked generation.

That was my wallpaper for almost a year feels weird seeing it posted in a random tranny thread

Keanu is hapa, not white.

Clickbait article. Might as well bash The Thing as outdated for not having women.

There are three white “good guys” in a sea of brown, and one of those guys turned traitor. Two of their best captains are women. All the villains are white males.

But zoomers are too busy ducking their own dicks to get distracted by little things like facts.

oy vey you are not allowed to have movies for you goy

>Zoomers are without a doubt the most cucked generation.

>when your generation has more wealth, equality and prosperity than at any point in human history but you still want to be a pissy shitlord so you trash the progress and the people who brought it to you.

He's not dissatisfied with office work. He is one of the minority of the population who is aware that the world he's living in is fake. In IRL terms, he's suffering from schizophrenia.

it's a good wallpaper

Yes He is and we're all made in His image. At least, real people are, discounts and knockoffs are built off that model

We are only following your path faggot. Now watch your mouth before I report you to the EU for a hate crime.

The thread should have ended here, you faggots need to stop actively looking for things to get mad at

but its kind of turned into a comfy matrix thread...

these complainers just look at the first post of the thread and then get mad about it and leave a post, can you believe it?

How can it be a male power fantasy when it was made by two women?

>male power fantasy
>made by two women
Wtf

their best pilot and wheelman is a woman, and she was that good before the program training.

these fucking hacks and their bullshit clickbait written from watching some mentally ill retards matrix in 5 minutes videos.

In 3 to 5 years trans will be viewed as Cultural Appropriation. Mark my words.

this, should be a bannable offense, adds nothing to the board culture and is only done by attention starved nerds

What about the TRANNY link and allegory? Did the writer of this article already forget how woke the matrix actually is?

It already is by some feminists, they're called TERFs: Trans-exclusionary-radical-feminists

They were men when they directed it so the inherent bigotry still stands

>already
They are old feminists, that's dying out. Trannies are the future, feminists will be thrown under the bus first

Cringe
We don't need anymore cissplaining in 2019.

>Major. Deegan. Express. Way.

Also his three arch-enemies AND his betrayer are all white guys.

This is like the weirdest thing and I can't fathom why. Trannies don't have the pussy privilege going for them, so how can they beat feminists? All humans, whether be males or females have implicit female bias. Trannies somehow seem to be appropiating this implicit female bias for themselves, even against real females. How is this even possible?

>He’s a white-collar worker whose most pressing problem is a slight dissatisfaction with ordinary office life.
How is it badly dated when this is more relevant than ever?

>>The theme is that being a handsome, white, middle-class, thirtysomething professional is ultimately not very fulfilling.
Didn't they want Will Smith to play the lead? I don't think race had anything to do with the choices made in the movie.

What kind of a fucking moron would expect a 20 year old movie to resonate w the current generation, except someone being paid 8 cents a word to write a clickbait artcle abt it?

>then promote it on Yea Forums

>>Anderson isn’t kept awake at night by war or climate change or the rise of fascism. He isn’t campaigning for equal rights
He's kept awake by actual war and his fight to liberate human beings from being battery machine slaves. The nigger who wrote this is objectively wrong.

nobody thinks that you fucking retard

>Admit it, they have a point.
they have a point until you realize they wanted will smith before keanu, and that the story itself is obviously woven to mirror religious archetypes.

the male is the more dynamic pon in human civillization. men always lead until they give women permission to lead. why would the weaker sex be chosen as a symbol for this nietzschean superman?

Fuck that last paragraph makes my blood boil
Also explains why reloaded and revolutions was such horse shit.
Also explains why the animatrix was so good despite the transcucksoybros been nowhere near it
God I can't wait for the inevitable reboot to be even worse.
It's been 16-20 years since the matrix has been relevant in popular culture so it's time

Laugh at the fact many "woke" movies today will be called backwards many years later

Black Panther is going to be called a disgusting male nationalist fantasy flick

This.
To this day they are still pushing the 'from the creators of the Matrix' line even though all their other movies are poop.

They'll call it black fetishism.

Virtually NOTHING from The Matrix was original. NOTHING.
It's a special effects showcase, and that's it.

I miss when writers used to be poor. Poor adds to a quality of character sorely missed; now we just endure poor character.

>Trannies don't have the pussy privilege going for them, so how can they beat feminists?
with their fists, like real men!

another politics thread. what a surprise?

That was surprisingly good for a 70 year old movie
Even the music got ripped off holy fuck
Jesus fuck have u seen their (original) stuff? Everything besides matrix 1 v and speed racer is absolutely dogshit
Especially whatever the fuck that tv series was the production values where below the worst 90s schlock I've seen

>DURRR a movie series with obvious political overtones can't be talked about because it offends me
Fuck off out of the thread then

lmao political overtones in the matrix holy shit shut the fuck up you probably werent even alive when it came out

Did he have any lines?

Wrong I was 10 when matrix 1 got super popular
Only decent movie in the series
They inserted their proto sjw white men bad women and poc trannies (switch the blonde haired boy girl in matrix 1) into a relatively straight up Hong Kong action formula + zotz + grant Morrison's books

>a literally pop-political movie isn't political
Stick with the (((pure fun))) of Marvel

Britain is worse.
t. Brit

Does the site have a spanish setting

Why would women make a male power fantasy flick? This article is new and has aged worse than The Matrix.

You just get to pay the license for it, not have any say on it.

Pre reveal?

Lol who the fuck can't sleep because of climate change. You have to be an absolutely mentally ill sheep to rid yourself of your own sleep because some bs like climate change

This is so badly written and articulated. It is true that they say that whose who can't write write reviews.

Of course. He was in almost all the JJJ scenes.

They have internalized misogyny from their still attached dick and balls

I feel bad for shitting on it because i've never watched it all the way through...
but that piece of shit Jupiter ascending was so cringey a couldn't get past the first half hour 2 different times.
Shit casting (except seen been, he's always good)
dumb concept....fucking mila kunis is a galactic space queen? just no.
Channing tatum is a meme pretty boy actor who plays some animal hybrid that just comes off wierd.
cool visuals i guess but its such an eye roller.

Didn't they catch that mosque recruiting for ISIS multiple times?

If a guy in the matrix has full sex change surgery, do the machines cut his dick off?

Yeah it was terrible.
Deleted it from my brain same with all their other original shit
Cloud atlas was meh

>The Wachowskis nicked The Invisibles and everyone in the know is well aware of this fact but of course they're unlikely to come out and say it.
>The Wachowskis

If only that were true.

lmao no, it's not political at all. you're just dipshits that have to force a political statement out of everything you watch because you're completely brainwashed

Bound was good. Haven't seen it for ages, though.

V was good.
But fuck, Ninja Assassin and The Invasion were shit. Cool ideas, but the execution was aweful.

I still don't know what is so bad about a male power fantasy and why its okay for women to have them.

>was basically a Xerox of my work and to be honest
anyone who's ever read The Invisibles can easily tell this isn't true. "Bald dark glasses dissident group recruits rookie into the invisible conspiracy world" isnt some amazing rare thing

Not only Invisibles has cringy shit that was only 'cool' in the 90s (similar to the matrix's dark pallette cringy shit but in the invisibles it was super colorful), but because the ideas in the invisibles were way more trippy and meta (also more disorganized)

Inb4 you call me /pol/ I saw though this movies horse shit 15 years ago

Despite them, not because.
Pope saved the movie visually. Tilly, Gershon and Pantoliano improvised a lot of the dialogues on the spot. The editing made sense of the all over the place shooting script (I read it. So many uneeded scenes were not filmed or just cut)

no, you didn't, because you aren't even 15 years old

BUUUURN!!!

Did the Matrix had

- homeless british crowley guy
- barbelith cosmic satellite working similarly to 2001 monolith
- brazillian tranny shaman (who travels to mexico by car somehow)
- time travelling redhead witch who becomes pregnant with the cosmos
- fox-hunting british elites rulling the world

>>Anderson isn’t kept awake at night by war or climate change or the rise of fascism. He isn’t campaigning for equal rights - and he certainly isn’t doing any Kung-fu practice. He’s a white-collar worker whose most pressing problem is a slight dissatisfaction with ordinary office life. He is, fundamentally, a less witty brother of Chandler Bing from Friends.
So, how fucking obtuse is this guy? The dissatisfaction Anderson feel is higher, on a philosophical level. Is an existentialist feeling of "wrongness".

Ironically a brainlet shill like him can't comprehend even the most basic philosophy so he focused souly on what was literally on screen
This is why the npc meme took off and fizzled because I genuinely believe these people have no inner voice

>i have to turn every thread i enter into a retarded political discussion because i can't get laid and have no life

I don't know if I hate this guy. He writes shit like

And

(pls archive in case).
Then he comes out with bullshit like this.

Thanks OP, hadn't watched this in years! Halfway through now, great movie :)

this is like moving to uganda and complaining about movies and shows there being all black
like it or not the majority is the norm, and america for now is white majority

>imax projector is on

The matrix is inherently political as a series though especially 2 3 and animatrix
Thoughts on the rest of the series? I still love the first movie despite it having a trap be he fooled me for over 20 years so based?

It's set in Zion and zion are all dark skinned people since all the races have mixed

Anyone who writes sjw garbage like that in the OP, could only be right by accident. At the end of the day, they still get the bullet;

I'm always astonished to hear black people are all /pol/ pieces of shit and cant relate or have any human empathy to other people

I guess there's no point in trying to extend any humanity to you

Back to the point I absolutely agree.
Now we know what happened to ancient greece Rome Egypt and Atlantis all ruined by women poc and (political correctness)

The problem is that at its core, a womans real power fantasy is to be the prettiest, most beloved, never questioned, center of attention.
When they try to apply this it doesn't work for something like an adventure tale or sci fi shooter, so they staple on some male power fantasy characteristics.
It doesn't work of course, just look at characters like Rey and Cap marvel.
With women, whats theirs is theirs and whats ours is also theirs.
the female drive to be liked is so strong that they see someone having fun across the way and need to co-op it for themselves.
The boys aren't allowed to have fun if its not in pursuit of or deference to the gals.

lmao relax dude. The guys is an idiot but come on. Is movie criticism not crimes against humanity.
The article above about Disney and Marvel is spot-on, BTW.

I'm cool, dude

but i don't wanna read the whole thred, op make me angery, i get mad and leave.

I can watch and enjoy a movie like Us because I'm not a sociopath
