That I definitely agree with. I do think they introduced some great ideas with the character that they failed to pay off. He could have been a great exploration of humanity and purpose.

Because he was programmed to be a version of him. Programmed based on him. Otherwise, why does a program feel any sort of obligation? We ran into this with other characters, from Smith, to The Oracle. They all have motivations and desires and directions that drive them. This new Morpheus was an amalgam of Morpheus and…

I had the same reaction. The self-awareness made me feel a little better about what was happening and what to expect.

IMO, Neo and Trinity were necessary to set up Bugs and people’s interest in anything outside of Neo and Trinity. I do agree that the rest was potentially far more interesting, though, and would be open to seeing it.

Thank you. This was how I felt. I loved it. 

Thing is, I don’t remember seeing the poster in the trailer before No Way Home. I’ve noticed it every other timer, but I’m pretty sure it was missing this time. Makes me wonder if it was misdirection they removed when it was time to give up the ghost. Or I somehow got distracted at that moment. Might have been right…

I started with J&J and got Pfizer as my booster, but I’m definitely wondering if there’s room to get a Pfizer round two.

Considering no other automaker felt that was necessary, it seems like a copout. Theoretically, at least, Apple and Google design their systems so the vehicle doesn’t NEED updates to be compatible. If it’s actually true though that it does need updates to unlock access to new functions, charge for them then. And only…

These policies should work the same as a lot of other policies, such as some of the draconian drug testing policies companies have slowly done away with: Is the employee doing their job well and is the thing you’re afraid they’re doing actually demonstrating itself as a problem? No? Then we’re good here.

Yeah, I don’t understand the question the author is asking here. Would it have kept me from watching it? Of course not. Would it be a tenth as incredible as it was to be surprised by it in the moment? Absolutely not.

Yeah, the risks seem MASSIVE on this film series because they all assume a certain level of fan fervor remains, and I’m not convinced it does. Is there still a wave to ride? I get that Disney has a whole section dedicated to the film, and that some people are SUPER into it, but I haven’t personally seen Avatar…

If paying a subscription for, say, aspects of the infotainment system means a car company finally keeps it up to date so it meets current technology standards and functionality, is kept secure, continues to be compatible with the latest apps I need and phones I buy, etc., instead of becoming obsolete within a year or…

It’s okay, I didn’t really need to see it since I’ve seen more than its total length in trailers for it over the last two years already.

Oh gee, a company touting a new process will give us vast amounts of battery life. Never seen that claim before. 

I agree with you overall, but again, I wasn’t looking for resolution. To me it felt like exactly the opposite: that they resolved what shouldn’t have been resolved. To me, killing off that lead Deviant instead exploring him further, and him living to create a larger potential source of conflict that expanded past the…

This is EXACTLY what I thought of when I saw this. Also, hi. I played Colin, his counterpart in the pilot.

This aligns very well with my general experiences with the companies and their level of effort in their job, which correlates with my life experience of the difference in commitment between people who feel respected and appropriately compensated by their employer and those who don’t. FedEx is MASSIVELY more likely…

See, my complaint is the exact opposite. I think they didn’t delve deeply enough into the complex ideas or questions, but more paid them lip service to demonstrate depth while then ignoring them. The Deviant was a MASSIVELY dropped opportunity for exactly this that they just quickly converted back into a big bad to…

I think there was a MASSIVELY dropped ball with the lead Deviant that really bothered me. They got halfway through a really thoughtful idea in him, and then did absolutely nothing with it. There was a lot of room to explore that and continue to build him and his complex place in things, and instead he was suddenly…

I went in really hopeful that the poor reviews were either just people angry about progressive elements in their mass-market movie, or people who didn’t appreciate a more thoughtful or artsy approach to Marvel. But it really failed at both achieving what it wanted to be (not a Marvel movie) or what it settled on…
