Yeah, I watched the new one and I don't know where I invented the idea that they were going to bring back more of the cast in the second season though. egg tats posted:hey if anyone wants to get in on this Snyder derail early, curio is premiering their Zack Snyder video right now!

I have to give that show a watch. By all accounts it's really good. I grew up with the original, so I was pensive about them making another series.

The three mains fall back into their roles like they never left. There's some dated references in there but the new writers are pretty self aware and treat it as cringe. Yakko is in top form.

I'm expecting them to start making jokes about Bush and Obama in the second season.

I'm catching up on Jim Sterling videos and I'm glad he takes the enthusiast press to task for making excuses for the industry's garbage practices. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7kaK2-725w The 70$ price tag is indefensible. It doesn't go towards paying for the wages of the development team in the same way that micro-transactions don't. It goes to a small percentage of people at the time, leeching off of the surplus value of their worker's labor. Obviously it's not a blanket situation and some in the press do take companies to task but it wouldn't be such a bad thing if the majority of them were more pro-consumer.

Roth posted:Time is a flat circle of Breadtubers releasing Zack Snyder videos It was an incentive video they put as a Patreon reward, like how Hbomberguy has sworn to destroy all his internet credibility defending the Prequels. Looks like Curio also hit another reward tier where they'll defend the Matrix sequels next, so I guess at this point it's more that these youtube talky-people are masochists.

Totally Not Mark has finished catching up on One Piece, and is now watching the movies, and yes, he talks about Movie Six in his last video! https://youtu.be/7PSfuqDG4Jg One Piece Movie Six is the one with “Flowey the Flower” by the guy that directed Summer Wars, and apparently reflects the awful experience he had at his last job directing for Studio Ghibli. Yikes!

I feel like Snyder's work on Watchmen says a lot more about him than 300 or Man of Steel.

The machines almost proudly told Neo that they destroyed Zion hundreds of times in the past and that they were getting really good at doing it, have a complete and uncompromised control of the situation and have shown to have not been able to or care to develop empathy on a large scale and we're expect to believe that they'll willingly release control of their only power source. On top of that we're supposed to believe, if this flimsy one-sided peace actually matters, that the weak support structures of Zion will be able to rebuilt human society. On a dead world. Nah. I'm with Harry Lennix. I'm from Buenos Aires and I say kill 'em all. They had centuries to figure out a way to fix the sky or build a super-structure to reach above the clouds, but chose to build super-structures to grow humans. They have no interest in being equals with humanity. Furthermore

Was it Enter the Matrix where the Wachowskis interrupt to explain that the climax of the movie version was a bunch of philosophy and symbolism that wouldn't be all that exciting for a video game so here's a dumb final boss?

As diseased as it is to make a defense of the prequels I'd hate to come across the brain that defends the Matrix sequels. At least the prequels are good for memes.

Enter the Matrix is the game where you play as either Ghost or Niobe and was advertised as being INTEGRAL to understanding the full story of the Matrix Sequels, and contains over an hour of unique footage shot just for the game.

There's some pretty good action scenes in the second Matrix (whenever the weird plasticy CGI isn't onscreen anyway) and the soundtrack whips, at least

^Edit: The sequels suffer the crime of being surprisingly boring. There are a few good action moments but nothing really fits and they wind up being a big mushy pile. As much as people make fun of the terrible Architect scene or the twins, it's because those are some of the only moments that really stand out aside from the highway chase and maybe the Zion battle. For the games, yeah here's the little minute and a half vid of the pre-boss roll. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1XhcSyVr-A As much as it ended up being a tire fire, there's a part of me that appreciates the weird attempt to make the Matrix this expansive multimedia thing with the games and movies all linking. It'll be interesting to see if the Matrix Online is still canon. Farm Frenzy posted:uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh actually in the officially canon matrix online a sizable portion of humanity voluntarily stays in the matrix while civilisation is rebuilt That was even in the movie, to be fair. Wasn't that the text of Neo's deal with them. That if 99% of humanity was subconsciously agreeing to stay in the Matrix, that it wouldn't really be a big deal to just be honest and let them make it as a conscious choice and break the cycle. The setup for the Matrix Online seemed interesting in general. Shame about the gameplay itself, at least from what I heard.

I hadn't watched the Matrices in ages until a few months back and watched them back to back to back and the failings of the sequels are even more stark when you watch em that way.

Mr Phillby posted:The matrix sequels are very funny films. I liked how at the end of the first film, he's literally warping The Matrix around him, stopping bullets and exploding Agent programs from within then in the sequels he struggles against a bunch of mooks in some of the most weightless and impactless wire-fu fights put to film. Why isn't he just snapping his fingers and biffing these fools from existence? Who would have thought being THE ONE was so underwhelming.

If you played as Ghost, you'd lean out the window and shoot at pursuers during the game's driving sequences. You'd think this would be a rail segment, but they gave control of the car to an AI. An AI that often couldn't navigate the level, even with repeated restarts

I don't hate the Matrix sequels. They're just weird and the ending isn't very satisfying. Some great action scenes, especially in the second one. Nothing about Zion or the real world makes any sense.
