The older I get, the more I realize that Joey Pantaloons was right.

If I'm living a life in the Matrix, I'm not being harmed in any way while they use my body to generate electricity. Who really gives a shit? Does it make a difference?

Reality is just neural inputs translated by our brain; does it even matter where that input comes from? Does it make a difference if those inputs simply skip my five senses and plug directly into my brain?

The crazy mass orgy dances happen outside of the matrix.

[-] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 hour ago

That's not a requirement. There's nothing stopping them from happening in the Matrix, and probably with people who smell a lot better.

According to Agent Smith, humans also stink inside the matrix.

[-] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 2 points 12 minutes ago

Smith is just upset he's never invited to the rave-orgies.

I love these. Just the idea of him being a frat bro is hilarious to me.

[-] thisisbutaname@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 1 day ago

It could do with a few strategically placed "bro"s though

Bro needs to come back to our planet we destroyed in which there is no more steak and only paste.

[-] Schal330@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

There is also that weird cave rave orgy thing I guess? Or do we continue to pretend there has only ever been one Matrix movie?

[-] festnt@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 hours ago

that what

[-] Schal330@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Zion dance. I think I recall in the movie it's mixed with a scene of Neo and Trinity getting it on.

Or do we continue to pretend there has only ever been one Matrix movie?

Yeah pretty much.

[-] Schal330@lemmy.world 7 points 22 hours ago

I'm onboard with that! Although can we at an absolute stretch acknowledge there were some good bits in Reloaded? The Chateau and highway fight scenes were fun with great soundtracks!

[-] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 5 points 22 hours ago

Reloaded wasn't that bad, though the CGI certainly doesn't hold up. Revolutions was pretty bad though, apart from the action.

[-] Sharkticon@lemmy.zip 5 points 22 hours ago

I don't think reloaded was even close to bad.

[-] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

Other than the CGI the only thing wrong with it is it's a setup for a bad sequel. That's why it'll never be good for me. I feel like I'm getting half of a story that'll never be finished.

[-] MeowerMisfit817@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

I didn't watch the other movies sorry

[-] RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 10 points 23 hours ago

You need to watch Event Horizon, it's the best Matrix sequel.

[-] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago

I thought that was the Warhammer prequel.

[-] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 4 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

Isn't this shot from the second film on the highway?

[-] k0e3@lemmy.ca 4 points 22 hours ago

The animations were cool, too. Not sure if they were considered cannon though.

[-] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 4 points 22 hours ago

They made more?

[-] LouNeko@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago

Yeah but the Matrix probably had Burning Man back when it was good.
