He says that, but then does tell neo and the audience exactly what it is and you're like 'ok I basically understand the concept' so I dunno why he says it can't be explained. He just did. Like if you walked up to someone who never heard of it could you give them a rough overview of the idea of the matrix based on the plot of the movies?

Yeah. Like this isn't some impossible ask, here, Morpheus.

I think this is because Morpheus is a big fat drama queen, and only left the matrix because agent Smith bullied him about the massive gap between his upper front teeth.

I haven't seen it for a long time but Neo had a desk job and lived in the "normal" world, this is a world where he could quit his job and get another, get laid, get drunk, go on holidays, eat food etc, do whatever..

Or he could be a Matrix dude and fight in a war he doesn't really need to forever.

In conclusion, Neo is an idiot.

That was actually Jerry McMatrix, a Jerry Macguire and Matrix mashup, where neo is all like “I’m not gonna do what everyone thinks I’m gonna do, and just EAT THE RED PILL MAN.” And he keeps getting super hosed up on blue pills and coming into work all sweaty and bug-eyed and saying “goddamn this matrix is THE poo poo dawg!” with a loosened tie and feet on the desk. When trinity walks in he’s just like “hey I’m just gonna cut the poo poo here trinity, this doesn’t take 3 loving sequels to spit this out, SHOW ME YOUR POOOOSSAAAAYYYYYY!” and she’s all like “it took me half an hour to get these pants on” :colbert: and then neo says “I’m so drat tired of all these matrices” and rails like a whole chopped up blue pill off his desk. :argh:

No you don't get it. Like his dickhead boss explained, in order to keep his well-paying job, Thomas Anderson had to show up on time, at his desk, like five days a week. Ugghhhh. And then Agent Smith described his life to him, a man who pays his taxes, doesn't get in trouble, and helps his elderly landlady take out her trash. THAT is how the film tells us he had a lameass life. He helps elderly people instead of being an internet superhero. I'm 16 and this hits every chord

I've always wondered why Trinity wore that skin tight leather/latex suit while she was doing a Matrix run it seems like that would restrict her movement you'd think she'd want like sweat pants and a hoodie or like a karate uniform to look tough or just go full nude if she wanted to be sexy and keep range of motion. The whole 'wrap me as tight as possible in bondage gear that really makes it hard for me to move, great thanks' just didn't make a lot of sense to me. Then again I'm not a cybernet action ninja woman doing kung fu flips in a virtual world against renegade computer office workers.

she's sitting in a computer chair with a big plug jammed in the back of her neck, the clothes aren't real and don't restrict her karate movements at all

The problem was that, idk, the machines did it TO us, and the machines are bad.

Though if you watch the expanded universe stuff, we were the real monsters and the machines were 1) kind of right to gently caress us up and 2) were nicer than we would've been to them if we won, since they still let us survive.

The setting kind of breaks down the more you focus on that stuff. If "The Matrix" ever happens for real, it will, 100%, be something we do to ourselves.

Okay, whoa, whoa. That's uncalled for.

The Matrix isn't to blame for Neo's lovely, boring-rear end life. The Matrix is a very realistic simulation of the 90s, the good along with the bad. The version of it that tried to idealize or soften the actual human world didn't work. It's a sandbox game, not a guided experience.

Neo's the one who chose to become a computer-toucher who works in a boring office and spends his weekends as a "hacker" to try and feel cool.

The thing about The Matrix is that modernity is itself a harmful fiction used to suppress and control billions of people to buy supposed total freedom for an elite few. The machines chose to replicate the 90s for their (v3) matrix because it was already a matrix that worked on humans.

if I was the matrix I would have cloned billions of dinosaurs in the cum pods and just had a giant dino planet and then they just would have had a bunch of cool rear end dinosaurs to check out and none of them would have bothered loving around and causing trouble because they're dinosaurs, what are they gonna do about it?
If they need to reset the matrix? Blammo. Meteor. New dinos. Next?
