[@Theinen84]

Fiske Cahill Thanks! Details are my specialty lol. That and theory crafting. I put my thoughts on making the Matrix not seem so... Matrix-y on one of the CinemaSins videos for it. So, me liking to make sense out of what people deem nonsensical makes me like movies like this, Inception, BvS, etc (just no saving some of them though... looking at you SuckerPunch), but I've changed a lot of negative opinions to positive ones because of it lol.

He then followed her to the bathroom to have her... erm... thank him for the experience lol. That's why his wife took them to the men's room for the kiss. To prove he wasn't in there.

I loved NC's theory at the end: it would have made so much sense if the real world and Zion were just another level of The Matrix.

[@glennwelsh9784]

Technically, Zion IS another Matrix. The Matrix was created by the Machines to control humanity. Zion was created by the Machines as a way of controlling the small percentage of humans who wouldn't accept the Matrix. Zion might not be a hyper-realistic VR simulation that one can be awakened from, but both Zion and the Matrix are created for the same purpose - to control humanity by fooling them into thinking it is something that it isn't, essentially making Zion another form of Matrix.

[@Theelectroarcheologist]

Glenn Welsh yea but that’s not what they went with. There’s been a lot of theories on the matrix as far saying neo wasn’t ever really the one. But rather than exploring more on these ideas in the film, they focused more on the religious symbolism and the human condition instead.

The reason Neo had to fly to the highway from the Chateau, rather than 'just going back the way he came', is because they ACTUALLY transitioned away from the city restaurant they started in back when they followed Persephone out. They're already in the Chateau for that big stupid fight (like, did you think that was just another room in the restaurant?), and they use the keys the Keymaker makes for them to go BACK to the city when making their escape and leaving Neo behind. So from where Neo was, yes, every room and every door leads to a Chateau in the mountains, because that's literally where he's standing, and he doesn't have any of those keys that make a door connect to somewhere else. All the other doors they took to get there have since closed.

I did the first Matrix, it was a paradise so perfect nobody believed. I did the second Matrix, it was a hell so chaotic nobody believed. The Oracle was designed to study and understand humans so she helped me and we realize that the Matrix cannot predict free will, so we did an equation that calculates free will with a 99% of accuracy. The One and the people of Zion are the result of that 1% that is left.

"Who was that guy ?" Come on ! I recognized him at the first sight and i was twelve !

[@ioftheuniverse2384]

19:00 Doug is super confused and mistaken on his assumptions here. I'm sure someone already commented this but: The ghost twins didn't hack the door to put him in the mountains. the whole fight scene before this obviously it's in the mountain mansion to begin with. they used a hack door to enter the mansion in the first place, from the restaurant kitchen. the ghost twin closed the door which was being hacked to lead to a parking garage, which severed the connection, leaving neo to break through the normal-door, revealing this Mansion was in the mountains all along and the twins have escaped him by a massive distance.

[@Sonichero151]

well using my knowledge of Assassin's Creed, the Reincarnation cycle of the Hindu Religion, and a little bit of Dead Space lore I think I can Translate just what the flying fudgecicle The Architect is saying. Apperentally, Neo is a reincarnation of a faulty programming error of the matrix itself that makes him an exact counter of the Matrix's function. His past lives have all done this before, following the chain of events that should lead to the freedom of Humanity. However, the Architect always manages to stop this by causing a complete system's reset of the Matrix while terminating the body of Neo's past life. THIS time. However, he is refraining from doing yet another system wipe because either he knows that this incarnation of Neo is going to do something different that will form a compromise, he knows some cancerous entity is building within the Matrix that only Neo will destroy, or he's just fucking tired of Resetting the Damn Hard drive and reinstalling all the damn mods he has running.

[@nicholastosoni707]

+Danny Caracciolo I'll do you one better: Neo is a "Messiah" archetype. The purpose of "The One"--the Messiah--is to sacrifice himself and thereby restore order within the Matrix. Balancing an equation, as the Architect would say.For the most part, THE ONE (TM) has been more-or-less predictable in making the "greater good" choice. It just so happens that Neo--our current One--has decided to say, "I am not a number: _I am a free man!_" and he goes for the other option. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE.My reading of the scene: The Architect is _bored_. He's been through this so many times...but he's never counted on The One choosing his own path.

[@Sonichero151]

Nicholas Tosoni good addon to the theory.

[@chrisandrew7577]

Danny Caracciolo i think smith is the one. the matrix is reset when the one reaches the source. smith merged with neo while he was jacked to the source. therefore the matrix was reset and the anomaly destroyed. makes sense because smith removed his ear piece, but still acted like an agent. he was a rogue program. the anomaly. the one.

[@_thechosen]

Chris Andrew But Neo was one too, because without him Smith would not be destroyed.

[@ericdigirolamo8904]

sooooo, he was a bug that kept returning no matter what the architect tried throughout each new system reset. BUT once a virus appeared and the bug actually stopped it the architect just said, "okay, FINE. you can stay."

[@paradoxacres1063]

I thought this one was an..*OK* movie. Neither good nor bad, it's a pretty enjoyable movie. Obviously a step down from the original Matrix movie, but..still nowhere near as bad as the last one, _Revolutions_.

[@angeloszormpas8427]

Same thoughts exactly!

[@RadMan224]

+Brandon Roberts by "avatar" i hope you mean the one with the tail fucking

[@paradoxacres1063]

Brandon Roberts Yeah, that's fair. I will say, though, that I'm always surprised that people take Cameron's _Avatar_ movie so seriously. I mean, if it was between the _Matrix_ movies and the _Avatar_ movie..I'd say that the _Matrix_ movies at least had more meat for us to chew on. _Avatar_ was just pure fluff; less substance than cotton candy.

[@ImmortanDan]

+Paradox Acres Same. Funny how an effects test is the highest-grossing film of the last few decades, huh?

[@paradoxacres1063]

***** Well, at least they waited a decent amount of time (at least *8* years) before releasing another _Avatar_ movie. Credit where credit is due, I suppose.

[@TheBlackDemon1996]

Actually it turns out that the Wachowski's were planning to do the Zion is another Matrix layer but the studio thought the target audience would be too stupid to understand it.

[@ekaterinamikhalev3071]

I thought it was because the studio deemed it too dark as it meant there really was no way out. It would have made perfect sense but it would have been rather unsettling, albeit cool.

This movie blew my 15 year old mind when I first saw it in theaters and for years the Matrix Reloaded was my favorite movie. I would watch it on HBO whenever it came on. It was like an event for me. I also rented this along with Revolutions on Netflix. This was back before Netflix had their streaming service. Neo was like a really cool hero for me. I Remember I used a picture of him stopping the bullets in the chateau as the picture for my windows account and I even used it to make a Tshirt. But of course as a I got older I started to see the flaws with this movie and I realized it wasn't as great as I thought it was. And now as a grown adult this video made me realize just how ridiculous it is. I'll always remember it for the crazy action scenes it had though.

[@TonyHill2335]

Except that this video doesn't have any valid criticism of the movie but if you only liked it because it looked cool that makes sense

[@christopherlowery3797]

Toni Hill no valid criticism? Interesting...

[@DarkOrion7]

Yes, no valid criticism.
