the feminism wasn't bad at all. Trinity was such a big part of the first 3 and Bugs was really likeable

the first 3 are a experience for sure

I don't think any of this would have mattered to anybody on ktt if for instance Neo wasn't spamming force push for the entire finale (and other clear dips in quality). People can spin it however they want but it just smacks of low effort to me.

The execution just could have been dramatically better

Man, they had her out here looking like Estelle Hemsley as Old Malla in The Leech Woman.

what if i told you that outside forces can effect execution, forces besides being “low-effort”

then thats unfortunate? i dont see anybody with their pitchforks out for Lana specifically

this my favorite post in the whole thread

people saying lana is going for a cash grab itt would beg to differ

more likely felt like she needed to take the matrix back from all the magats or whatever

sorry if i cant keep up with 80 pages a day of banter itt

lmao i was being a little aggressive mb, there’s a great lecture she gave on her motivations and @ShintaroKago knows a lot about it but it’s basically a product of grief over the loss of her parents

yeah i feel lana made movie to take back franchise from warner bros and sabotage it from being profitable without her and lily
but still made cool movie same time

definitely some level of taking back ownership of the series

it’s a good lesson to learn tho people can misinterpret media to fit anything they’re going through

Misinterpret might be the wrong word

A lot of filmmakers aren't making films that are that easy to pin down and get annoyed when anybody tries to proclaim it's about any one thing

Tbh this movie's biggest sin was only having Christina Ricci for one scene or whatever

that’s valid i’m using misinterpret very broadly because we’re speaking in the context of a series about being trans and finding the power of love who's imagery is co-opted by q-anon folks

Why should film makers like jordan peele or Darren arfonsky have to give “ this is the correct answer class “

Ask any artist to explain their artwork and they will legit never look at you again

People like things spelled out i guess I prefer it when things retain some mystique and ambiguity

Ok true f*** those guys. Lana should've made this even gayer to piss them off even more tbh. I can imagine how fabulous-Morpheus is going down

That Wake Up cover was awful

Yes

no shade it just is what it is you know?
