As far as "pillars" go Jungle Boy is below Max and Darby but above Sammy, who should be replaced as a pillar. Do they even talk about the pillars anymore?

There’s still time for Sammy. He does flips real well and he has a face that needs to be punched. There’s always room for someone with that skill set. He just needs a certain something… something like… like a gimmick. I don’t have any ideas though.

Maybe he could dye his hair blue and be like a Sonic The Hedgehog kinda guy? Because he does that move where he spins a lot? People love the lore of the hedgehog.

If sammy could find a way to take all those criticisms of him and channel it into a chip on his shoulder I think that would be a good starting point for a character. Just like being bitter that all these fans are so obsessed with his personal life and going all in on being a hateable heel.

Honestly, I know now’s not the time, but Sammy and Jack Perry teaming up as bitter jaded assholes could be a good deal.

So the thing is, The Matrix is clearly the art film, the passion project of the franchise, a beautiful one-off with a clear, strong message wrapped up in a memorable piece of world building. When tasked to expand the franchise, the Wachowskis were savvy enough to realize that they absolutely could not, cannot, do what they did with the first. And such, Reloaded is loving brilliant because it's a hilariously over-the-top action movie. It's genius from a meta perspective because much like Tobe Hooper and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, they realized that the answer to the question "how do you follow up something so monumental" is "you don't". There's also The Animatrix, which is another really affecting and unique piece due to it being a series of shorts set in the world, with my personal favorites being Shinichiro Watanabe's shorts. You cannot recapture The Matrix, you can only create your art, tell a story in new ways.

I have no comment on Resurrections as I haven't watched it nor do I really care to right now (but it has enough Wachowski involvement that I will one day) and I absolutely hate that there will be a fifth as it is definitely franchisization which is a bummer.

I hate that there's going to be a 5th and no Wachowski is directing it. Say whatever you want about their individual or collective work but it always feels unique and like it's their own voice, especially that franchise in particular; it finally having an entry not told (written or directed) by one of them feels like a bad sign of it going commercial/no longer being unique, even in the hands of a writer/director I actually like like Drew

Sorry, there were a lot of posts and I'm catching up

My instinct is to say Jack deserves better, but also it'd get Sammy away from Jericho-hell, so I wouldn't be fully against it

Sometimes a new voice can have something new to say and Lana is executive producing, which could mean nothing but could also mean something. My current barometer is if Keanu and Carrie sign on. If they don't, I will officially be Worried.

Taking 200 million dollars of Warner Bros money to go "Hey, y'know, gently caress Warner Bros" for an hour has a lot of value to me, I dunno what to tell you.

Also the additions to the lore were neat.
