And they originated the subliminal sjw crap
The red pill was supposed to invoke the barphy political correctness instead of conservative reality LOL!
The original Matrix was a thinly veiled allegory of the people (things?) that dictate our reality (what we discuss, what issues we discuss, what is fashionable, what we should buy, how we should act, etc) and the rest of us that just accept that.

It's ok if it's subliminal because ultimately, the hero was still Neo, despite the presence of the Architect, the Merovingian, and Agent Smith as the perennial adversaries.
Elevating Trinity (or Tiffany) to superstardom is pathetic because she contributed very little in the original series besides being Neo's main squeeze. In effect, if Neo was 50 and not a horny guy in his early 30s, he could have done it entirely without her.
Even the most hardcore Matrix fans saw that Carrie Ann-Moss was a sideshow with a hokey love that would not have made it, in any wannabe Dr Zhivago type of film.
BTW - I predict that the new Matrix will flop, not because of its content, but nobody gives a shit about films any more.
Apparently, they originally wrote the role with the intention of having Will Smith as Neo. I loved the first movie, but everything after that was crap IMO.
As bad that #2 and #3 were, I'd say this is significantly worse.
So, it's bad, but it isn't one of those movies that is so bad it's good?
Wachowski brothers became Wachowski sisters after the original Matrix movies were made. What could possibly go wrong?
Yup. Hollywood must be torture for talented screenwriters if they are even hired over the spoiled, talentless connected dynastic brats who seem to be in charge these days.
The whole culmination of the film is Neo and Trinity recognizing who they originally were and they get back together and meet in the "real world" and return to the matrix.
The plot or let's call it, the primary theme (or prime directive in Star Trek terms) is the "Rise of Trinity". In this new Matrix, Keanu is reduced to finally becoming a washed up John Wick (w/ a bank account from designing software) and Trinity needs to shine in his place, much like Rey in Star Wars against both Han and Luke, nevermind the other clowns of Finn & Poe.
Trinity didn't turn out to be a Mary Sue, at the WORST, the film suggested that the two were more powerful together than apart, symbiotic. I can appreciate that, even though it's kind of hackneyed.
This 4th film, is just a money grab since everything they've made since their original film has been a failure, but one "woman" sat it out. Maybe he/she is the real talent of the duo. We'll see.
The Wachowskis were a one hit wonder. Rumors were they STOLE the first script - and now I suspect that is true, because they didn't understand the underlying meaning of the script. Basically, "the Matrix" is nothing more than an allegory for our (at the time) current propaganda - a false reality. The machines represented the government/propagandists and the red pilled people represented those that overcame this false reality
I always think of William Gibson when I hear the word cyberpunk.

Ya'll remember Iwog tried to hijack the red pill, by saying it was when Men go their won way. Men Going Their Own Way.What ever happened to iwog? Didn't he take off to Central America?

porkchopexpress saysThat's right. He was giving off pedo vibes.What ever happened to iwog? Didn't he take off to Central America?
I think it was Chile, where 12 year olds can consent.
Neo was suppose to 'heal' these poor 3rd worlders, outside of his apartment building? Last I'd checked, he didn't have healing powers, only the ability to manipulate the computerized virtual reality of the Matrix.
