"The first matrix movie is a trans allegory" is the death of the author reading. For the record

I think it's fascinating to hear the accounts of people who had 20 years to build expectations about what a 4th matrix movie would look like. If I try to recall what my expectations were - my mindset as I walked into the theater in dec 2021 - I believe it was something like:

"I saw the first one two years ago and thought it was neat enough. I saw the second one yesterday and thought it was kind of delightfully weird, but I haven't had time to digest it beyond that. I skimmed the wikipedia summary of the third one because I ran out of time. The trailer looked sick. The early reviews are a little concerning. I've been spoiled on the game developer thing and I fear it sounds a little stupid, but we'll see. I'm just here to #SupportTransCinema good or bad ✌️🍿"

I’m sure you can understand why our beloved parent company, Warner Brothers, has decided to make a sequel to the trilogy.  They informed me they’re gonna do it with or without us.

Hi!! I'm very sorry for spam liking. your notifs must be crazy rn 😅 but I've recently watched the matrix trilogy for the first time and got instantly obsessed (with Smith in particular, for some reason) so running into your blog was the best thing ever, it's nice to see there's someone still interested in the movies even if they are over two decades old. I was just really sad I couldn't find any content, so you really saved me. I really enjoyed reading your thoughts!

ty that's sweet!

And (as I think I just said recently about someone else going through the smith tag) spam liking is just an excuse to re-read my own posts and go "wow so true op"

today's round of desperately pawing through every scrap of matrix content on the internet has led me to: a 2004-era roleplaying community for an au where Neo and Smith get telepathically soulbonded by a "hermaphrodite exile" named Eros, fall in love, and end up forming an allied army of humans, machines, furries, and fairies to overthrow the Architect. the tagline is "Interested in joining an epic to rival War and Peace and/or As The World Turns?" this is fundamentally what all fandom content should be I think. I am experiencing Love

ok this bit's fire:

Let me tell you a story, Neo... a story about two men who followed the ancient course of predator and prey, order and chaos, tyranny and defiance... blade and blood... ice and fire... every opposite you can think of, and at the end of it not opposites at all. Because one defines the other. And these two did more than merely define each other -- in their fatal emnity, they gave each other a gift beyond price, a gift no lover would ever have had the courage to offer. They allowed each other to transcend what they were intended for. They set each other free.

Absolutely priceless bit of fandom history

Ok I see that the first link is broken now (wayback for posterity), and I really hope my drawing attention to it didn't have anything to do with that :(

Now that I've finished sense8 though: this fanverse really was impressively prescient about the kind of themes - empathy across boundaries via psychic connection, Intense Psychic Bond Sex, Hernando's speech about the psychodrama & eroticism of the shadow self - that trilogy neosmith was evidently planting seeds for. Not to mention resurrections' human-machine alliance. And the above speech really is, for all intents and purposes, what Smith’s attitude on Their Relationship was by the end
