OK, I’m sold. I’ll be supporting this next week. Unfortunately I admit it will have to be a modest contribution, but this is doing more for me in 10 minutes than X-Men movies have done in 10 years.

You need to use broad-stroke story telling when you need to cover a lot of ground in 10 minutes. It’s really quite an amazing accomplishment of world building to be honest. The narrative and tone are also established quite well in such a short time. I can’t say I’m dropping $100s on the project, but I’m definitely…

This is going to sound incredibly dumb, but if I remember correctly “the One” has power outside of the Matrix because they are human Wi-Fi. The machines developed that because the ones were DNA computers. The expanded materials had more on this. Like a lot more. But I don’t revisit that stuff much. It’s just something…

Well the Oracle is extremely misleading to Neo in most of their encounters, but she does not specifically seem to be lying to Neo in the first movie. Ultimately it is Neo’s choice to become the One (which is again related to the weakest relationship in the series: the one with Trinity. Which is why most fan…

I have to disagree with your assessment that they are both “The One” or at least not exactly in the way you may be referring and this will almost definitely result in the nerdy semantics of Stated Fact vs Thematic Arcs: Dawn of Justice. (I’m just bored)

Was legitimately surprised he was not included.

It means the fan who cam up with this theory wholesale ignored several scenes with explicit information that counters this theory.

It’s a pretty weak theory that ignores a lot of both stated and implied information in the trilogy. Smith isn’t “born” in the Matrix. That Matrix is like uhh... Casablanca for programs? Smith wants out. He wants to go back to the Machine City in the first movie. He hates it there. Conversely in the 3rd movie we see…

Lotta flaws in this. Mostly because it flat ignore several stated plot elements and some implied ones.

“Based on nothing” makes me laugh here. I mean, yeah - reserve final judgment until you view the entire product but having a preconceived notion of one for this “based on nothing” is a wild stretch. It’s a sequel to a sub par movie that’s written by the same writers and directed by the same ddirectior. It cast some…

Yes he did in fact get that chance to say, “At last I will have my revenge”.

At last we will have our revenge!

April O’Neil as Marceline makes way too much sense.

I appears that one costume is called “Raging Bat” while another, more armored “knight” one is “Excalibat”. Can’t make out their sub-labels though.

I normally can’t stand him, but this casting choice is pretty amazing.

Same Zurick from the forums?

They really need to reboot this franchise.

Yes. Bryan Singer is lazily going back to the same well a decade and a half later. It’s a lazy call back at best. What are you not getting?

I used all the words the way I meant to and correctly, princess bride.

End of X1. Used in the teaser trailer for X2 because the writers back then actually used foreshadowing and knew exactly where they were going.
