Wachowski wrote her coming out was the culmination of a year-long saga of media outlets threatening to publish stories on her transition, including a recent incident when a Daily Mail reporter appeared on her doorstepIs weirdly disturbing.

So, the stats will now say there are two more ' female ' directors. What a joke, when actual women/females fight tooth and nail for good gigs, more money, and recognition. They have more than one thing in common with conservative thinking.

she is responsible for one of the top grossing movies ever? pretty sure she already had respect but whatever. fucking weirdos will soon have more rights than normal folks. where is the equality in that?
Some Matrix-y joke about pill goes here.
The Wachowskis owned both a PlayStation 2 and Xbox video game console and played several games such as Splinter Cell and Halo 2.[103] Reportedly during a Halo deathmatch, they destroyed their Xbox.gasp transgender violence

Has any film's legacy been hurt more by its sequels than The Matrix? It's an amazing film on nearly every level and is crazy influential but a lot of people heavily associate it with the disappointing second and apparently horrible (I still haven't seen it) third film. I remember when just about everyone except the most dedicated nerds agreed Reloaded was boring, MTV did that famous parody of it, etc.
Like if you talk about how awesome Jurassic Park was nobody says "yea but Lost Word and III were trash tho."
Guys. Guys....Jupiter Ascending

The bore is so inclusive that a trans discussion gets turned into whether or not the Matrix is overrated without batting an eye. And it's not overrated, Jesus.
I wish they'd gone a whole different way with the sequels. I wouldn't have minded if it became an endless Star Wars thing, but they'd have to remove Neo from it. Or make him the villain, a la "power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely." Which would have been sad but also awesome.

The scope and cast of characters got way too big way too quickly. The first Matrix movie is pretty intimate when it comes to how many characters there are, how many people are on the ship, the confrontations and battles that crew deals with. The Matrix is a pretty cozy movie in general.
I think humanity fighting itself along with the machines would've been a lot more interesting as a story. Zion or whatever it was, was pretty boring but played a big part in the sequels. Either axe Zion or change what humanity is and how people function in the modern age.

I was hyped as fuck for Reloaded. Went in there Day 1 expecting the GOAT movie.
I think it was when Neo and Magical Caucasian Old Guy Senator had that talk on the balcony that I realized the movie kind of sucked.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's a fantastic movie. When I say overrated I'm talking about the dumb fanboys who are all "the plot is sooooo deeep and the world is soooo rich with ideas you don't even know".
As far as sequels killing the first movie's reputation or legacy I'm going to go with the big one: Highlander.
The Matrix is the 90's. Betrenchcoated edgelords shooting guns, hacking the internets, going into VR, doing sick stunts, rocking out to Dragula. :lawd(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/f6/Equilibriumposter.jpg)

I don't know what you guys are talking about. There was only one Matrix movie. ???spoiler (click to show/hide):doge[close]

The Animatrix short that I saw before Dreamcatcher is still real to me!

Actually that collection of stuff wasn't too bad. I'd throw that in with the original Matrix on "worth watching."
Ya'll are forgetting about Monica B. in Reloaded.The main trouble with RELOADED is that nothing really happens. It feels like a filler movie, and then REVOLUTIONS fails to really make any sense, and then be boring while doing it.
And the staircase fight scene is pretty amazing too.
Outside of Zion and everything related to it Reloaded was pretty fucking good. Revolutions is complete crap though.
"You'll handle us? YOU'LL HANDLE US!?"
Better than the star wars prequels for example which are almost complete garbage. But as a movie, the Matrix is this perfect plotted lean movie with no fat on it. The sequels are full of fat. You feel smart and cool watching the first movie. I often felt cringey watching the sequels.
I would have liked a Cloud Atlas that was nothing but the Future Seoul story.

V was never gonna be anything more than a shell of the comics. Making the villains outright surrogate nazis and the whole inside job angle was indeed terrible.

Kinda of fascinating in a sort of how things have changed in my lifetime and over a relatively short amount of time.
I remember when Andy announced/was rumoured to be, it was still seen as "weird" and something to goof about in "normal" society.
Cut forward a few years and while of course there are large pockets of society that would still classify it as such, its no longer publicly acceptable to do that anymore. Small steps but still nice.
Which one is a pawg.

I've (obviously) got a similar complaint regarding the revised politics is V for Vendetta as Alan Moore. Plus I think it strips out a lot of the more ambiguous characterization of the main characters. Especially the main government guy. And V being a blatant hero. And all the added 9/11/Bush years/Iraq allegories.
Plus it seemed slow and boring. But then the book wasn't exactly an action movie to me, a lot like Watchmen.
But then they didn't direct it so it's probably not all their fault.
