i'm trying to think about Matrix X Termantor for a bit, since i'm looking at both as Machine genocide of Humans. Matrix is captivity, Terminator is extermination.
center spot: people are overly dumb and happy, their stupidity puts them in a situation causing their own end, specifically the machine genocide of humans.
i'm trying to think of movies for the spots but it's too early for my brain to work and i need more coffee. honestly the center one feels like a decent hook if it hasn't already been done.
