      objectively correct, making everyone simultaneously a nerd and an idiot, which cancels out.

      except santa, the fucken nerd

    Letting people call you out on online forums is a part of growth, it was for me and I feel like it was for many of us

  Was referring to the Animatrix 1st and 2nd Renaissance genius.

    Damn, they accused you of not paying attention and then you brought out the deep lore

    i’ve seen animatrix but it’s also, like, in the original

      Morpheus literally says they dont know who striked first. The Matrix doesnt mention anything about how or why the war started. Just that it started. The Animatrix tells you that the war started because the robot capital had basically destroyed the global economy so humans tried to wipe them out

        The war started because of hierarchy and hate. They abused and killed the earliest sentient robots causing them to flee to their own space.

        All along the robots sought peace until they learned it was impossible with humans.

        Humanity created everything that led to its destruction.

        The message was clear in the first movie. We didn’t need to see “Han shot first” or “Han shot in self defense after changes to the story came about years later”.

        Although in no way will I be complaining about more matrix, bring me more matrix history, animated or live action! I just think the message doesn’t change whether humans shot first or not. We created the circumstances, our downfall was our own making.

        “we don’t know” is a pretty damning thing for the one side to say. contrast starship troopers.

  Fight Club really hits different when you realize the main character is Tyler Durden

  Avatar really hits different when you realize the Navi are just defending themselves.

  Indiana Jones really hits different when you realize the bad guys are Nazis.

  Jurassic park really hits different when you realize John Hammond ignored all the warnings.

  John Wick really hits different when you realize they killed his dog.

  Star Wars really hits different when you realize the chosen one bringing balance meant revitalizing the dark side.

  … Old men like me don’t bother with making points. There’s no point.

    There’s two ways to consume any content. Sometimes Moby Dick is just a whale and Matrix is a movie about a guy who learns to fight really fast.

    the santa clause really hits different when you realise the title refers to the rule, not the person

  They don’t say that in the first movie.

    not explicitly in a line, but the whole “scorched the sky” monologue is pretty damning of humanity.
