I thought third was way worse…
If there’s a plus side to it for the guy it’s that he went from looking like your typical little Asian dude to sounding like a super scary, amped up brothaman. Seriously, if you close your eyes and listen to the audio you’ll swear it’s Mr. T in Rocky III calling out his next victim, I mean challenger.
I’M COMIN’ FOR YOU HOGAN!!!
And yeah, there’s just something ironic about this totally psychotic dude fearlessly taking a stand against the world and exposing the Matrix 'cause he’s the one and whatnot . . . . . . . all from the fortress of his Smoothie shop.
The second Matrix introduced a lot of interesting concepts that I thought they might elaborate on for the third film.
Instead we got 20 minutes of a character nobody cares about sitting in a mech suit and shooting robots with a chain gun while going “AAAAAHHHHHH!!!”

Like what? What do you introduce that’s more interesting than “plato’s cave?” Which is all the matrix was but still a pretty decent updated version of it.
What would have been smooth would’ve been if by the third one they found out that the AI had factored in for “the one” and they were several levels deep in the Matrix and really what they thought was “the real” was a different level of the matrix. That would’ve been awesome to play with for the second and 3rd movie… how about instead of AI it was other humans doing this to humas and the earth wasn’t scorched at all. You could tell no difference between the matrix and real life because real life still existed out side of the matrix. How about the people stuck in the matrix were in what were futuristic jails and being harvested for their energy. So neo and morpheus etc are all cnvicts unknowingly and what they’re doing basically amounts to breaking out of jail… so many ways they could hve taken this and yet they fucked it up.

Someone at work showed me that earlier today. Good stuff! Loved his interview.

I replayed that part a few times. I was never sure if I heard it right. Wait, what did he say?
I like when he won’t give any details about himself and then is winking in the camera.

Mainly the idea that it’s not just humans vs. machines - there are other players in the game, rogue programs and whatnot, with their own agendas independent of what we saw in the first one.
I always thought The Architect was kinda cool. But was kinda let down that they really didn’t do much else with him in the third movie.

I think it was covered in previous works.
The Architect huh? One night I was shroomin and got the munchies. I’m in the house getting a huge bowl of cereal and I start to feel like I’m gonna pass out. I then get to the nearest bed and I start hearing the voice of The Architect telling me I need to take a few steps back and get my shit together. After a few minutes of that I go back to the garage, eat my bowl of cereal and finish The Big Lebowski.
True story.
