@@apophis40123 Cause the original Matrix came out in 1999, at best that means development had to have started around 96 or 97 right around the start of the internet boom. Computers around that time were still fairly niche and not everyone had one nor understood em well, for a good example of that just honestly ask ur, parents or grandparents, what a GPU or CPU is and you'll get a good understanding WHY it was changed. It was a bit a head of it's time tbh, if they had waited maybe 5 or 6 years then there could have been a better argument for keeping it as processing power. But at the time batteries is a better explanation, everyone knows what a batter is what it does, even back then.

I do actually think that the French dude is actually a former One who survived as code and lived in the next Matrix. Think about it, he's able to manipulate the code of the Matrix, the only program to do so, he has the ghost dudes, former agents from a previous Matrix and other old programs working for him, he is allowed to capture powerful programs like the Keymaker with no problem, and the agents don't seem to want to mess with him. He survives Smiths attack unscathed, even the Oracle couldn't do that. Also, his wife his named Persephone, which makes him Hades, the King of the Underworld, like a God. Hence, a former One, who survived his Matrix movies and know lives in the next one.

Eh. I still think the one on one from the first film has a lot more impact. Yeah, there are a lot more Smith's in the second, but even all together they feel less threatening than the single from the first. Add in the actual chemistry between the actors and the feeling of resolution? The solo fight felt like a solid conclusion while the group fight felt like an interesting footnote.

[@aversiac-2]

a lot of people shit on that scene but imo it's one of the most profound moments, its a former agent going further than any other agent has gone.

7:23 Think of the agents as an anti-virus software. You can use one on your pc to perform a super quick virus scan but they still have to check each folder(cubicle) one by one till it finds the virus file(Neo). If it was as simple as "code google" searching to find a virus, anti-virus software wouldn't be necessary in the first place. And yes, if you move a file to a different folder then it literally does mean that the code for that file is no longer in the old folder.

Here's the problem with Doug's criticism of the Matrix's "plot hole." The human body needs the brain to power it. A lot of the body's biolelectricity comes from the brain, it's the most powerful organ in the body. Without the brain, the rest doesn't work.

In order to destroy something, you must first be able to locate it. Locating it is a part of destroying it. Mental fatigue and overload are a thing.

When Smith hacks into the crew member, it makes sense because if the person truly believes they are being hacked and truly believes that they are turning into an agent then their mind is not under Smith's control.

3:05 okay this has got to be the stupidest criticism. They dyed all the clothes slightly light green and painted some of the walls with some of that paint that same green, the green of early color monitors as an elegant way of visually distinguish inside the matrix versus outside. That green was first created by early hackers back when hacking was literal, and they were bending and breaking things to make them. It’s not “for some reason” it’s exactly the kind of clever subtle story telling you’ve praised other films for, and frankly indicates that your problem with the film is not that the film wasn’t well made but that it was so commonly recognized as well made that you don’t get to feel good for pointing it out to people. It is not proof positive of this, merely indicative. PS If you’ll notice, the local servers of the humans don’t have that green. They may even be slightly blue but that might be my green light comes getting tired.

"Why is there a Matrix?" Smith said why in the movie. They first created a utopia that the humans rejected and they lost entire crops so, they created a second reality that was more believable to the humans. This way they could harvest the energy they needed to survive. It's not a plot hole if it doesn't break the movie's logic and, that's the logic the movie established.

[@nathandrake1447]

IDK why people overcomplicate the matrix. The machines created a simulation for people but some didn't like being in the simulation and wanted to live in the real world. Those people broke out of the matrix and formed a community called Zion. The machines created programs like the Oracle and the Merovingian to make a game for the unplugged people to keep them from destroying the matrix. The one is just the accumulation (the remainder) of the calculation of the matrix. The longer the simulation runs, the bigger the remainder becomes; like dividing 10 by 3, you get 3.33333... The remainder keeps getting bigger. So to reboot the simulation, the machines trick the unplugged people to find the remainder (Neo) and take him to the source to reboot the simulation and start all over again. The architect makes Neo think that he is saving humanity because the machines are attacking Zion. He does it to trick him into plugging back in to reboot the simulation. What is special about Neo we see is that he chose to save his loved one over saving humanity. When he didn't plug back in, the remainder kept getting bigger which is why he had powers in Zion and why the oracle didn't know what to do because she wasn't programmed with that possibility. Eventually, Neo realizes his purpose is to plug back in to reboot the simulation and so he goes to Machine City. The problem was that Smith had gotten too big because his code got infected by Neo's code and became a sort of Anti-One (-1). So Neo lets Smith plug into him so they can cancel each other out and let the simulation reboot. The problem with making a matrix within the matrix theory is that people would then want to unplug out of that matrix and the machines would then have to make a third matrix for those people, and a fourth, and a fifth, and so on. You would basically end up with infinitely recurring matrices which would then overload the machine running the simulation. So the machines control most people by trapping them in the matrix and the rest of the people are controlled by a fake war between them and the machines.

Hey, did you add stuff to this? There's lyrics at the ending of the first one when there wasn't before, and the Muppets' theme is silent now.

[@DonnovanThomas929]

57:25 could someone explain that?

[@SeasideDetective2]

It was a terrible idea, but I have to give THE MATRIX credit for innovating that "puke-green" color scheme. For a few years afterward, it seemed as if every "serious" Hollywood film was experimenting with either dingy green or other weirdly colored filters.

Wendigoon speaking candidly and honestly about the World of Tanks people at the end is genuinely the best youtube ad I’ve ever seen.

[@Willyfitzcomedy]

Hahaha! I loved the matrix. I'm your age, but my friend group definitely fell for the cool factor. It's style etc was enticing to our simple minds. I always recognized the corny elements, and whether there should or shouldn't be a matrix I think is easy to brush aside as "this is the world they wanted to create" - but for what it's worth, you have convinced me to regard it as less cool, or rather - more corny. I love action movies though, and essentially the stylistic blend of film noir with action was obviously enough to woo me.

[@workaholick]

You know what, I think if you look at the Matrix trilogy as the first Action RPG Movie, it kinda makes sense, with all those damn speaches. cause then it's just characters spouting dialog like in a game....

"Effects which don't hold up well" Does it matter.....?! I can show you worse effects from 2023.

That black dot over NC's shoulder when talking to agent smith keeps making me think i have something on my screen. It's driving me crazy😂

You talking about the light switch?

@@UnprofessionalProfessor yep!

Yup these movies definetely peaked wuth animatrix... although that highway scene still is the best action scene bar none.. It's also funny how critic enjoys ressurections ( that movie is just gawd aweful 😂)

1:03 one of my favorite visual gags in literally any episode of NC ever

[@VidWatcher01]

1:19:58 Where have I heard that drum beat before?

[@disposablito]

2:44 I get this is early in the video, but the first movie is amazing. It doesn't really matter if it's dated. Maybe I'm biased for having grown up in the time that it was made, but the film stands up as an amazing an innovative science fiction story. Especially since the people in the present actually have no idea what year it is. If the movie was made today, I'd love it all the same. Time period and all. In fact, I think I'd like it even more for saying that the simulation only got as far as the 90's before it was rebooted. This concept was never done quite the same as these people did it.

[@Nasser851000]

The Peter Pan review should be next week leading up to the remake :)

[@chasehedges6775]

The 2003 one is a classic, imo.

[@thebandit0256]

I prefer the 53 one and the 02 sequel

[@chasehedges6775]

@@thebandit0256 Those are great, along with Hook with Robin Williams.

[@thebandit0256]

​@@chasehedges6775 Ah Yes Hook I consider it part of 53 Peter Pan movie and 02 movie despite Hook came out before Return to Neverland

The question is, was this intentionally uploaded during the time when AI is taking over our world, or just uploaded as a routine compilation video. I guess only Tom knows.

[@VesuveusMxO]

Hey Critic! I’m currently working on a pro-sequels video. Can I use some excerpts from this to refute? I came over from Reddit where I didn’t expect to like this video due to the comments. But it’s really funny!

[@wamrainc176]

0:40 sooo, in reality all science fiction movies are silly. So that not really a solid argument.

[@StuntpilootStef]

For those wondering, the 'gotcha' in the first review of there being no need for a Matrix is pretty lazy. The explanation is in the first film, simulating a Matrix makes the people produce more energy. Considering the tiny amount of people that are going to revolt it's better to have it than not. This in my opinion is one of Doug's weaker reviews. I also hate that even by the time the fourth movie comes along Doug STILL doesn't understand the trans message behind the movies. Like seriously dude, do you even occasionally read anything about movies? This is almost as bad as his misinterpretation of The Wall.

The main girl in the Animatrix short that was Critic's favorite looked like Jem from the 80s cartoon. ETA: I don't know why, but "Something Weaving this way comes" KILLED me!

We need a Nostalgia Critic episode on the John Wick films too please

[@jaranth]

OK the Python's Holy Grail joke at 1:19 got me good... spit my drink!

[@GFSCN69]

Still quite silly how a massive bit throughout all of this was calling Neo "Tom" even though "Neo" was the first and only name he actually ever really got.

[@jeuryrabassa4724]

This is why John Wick is way superior. Cause he is known as "Baba Yaga". Which is "The Boogeyman" in Russian.

[@tinkerer3399]

​@Jeury Rabassa Actually it's more like "Evil Grandma". Which makes John Wick pretty hilarious.

[@jeuryrabassa4724]

​@@tinkerer3399 And way better than Neo.

[@misscanadarain]

The matrix is in the category same as Jurassic Park. They both had their decades and should have stayed in their decades. The last matrix wasn't needed. The reboot of the damn dinosaur movies didn't need to happen

1:40:56 "No more of the color green." *Screen instead becomes offputtingly blue* I can't tell if it's a self aware joke, but god damn is it funny

Oh is THAT what kind of porn it is?! Thanks! Finally, I know what to google. It’s about time I got on a new list.

Thumbs up just for ‘Mr Algiacritic’. 😁 For me, the choreography and the music was the love. Snip the best bits out and that’s all you need.

[@EgaoKage]

Imo, it's always creepy when movies maintain a prolonged focus on the characters being physically intimate. Either the audience is basically filling the role of _Peeping-Tom_ and/or it just comes across as being really weak porn. Think about that: trained Hollywood actors being shown-up by what passes for acting _in a porno._ You'd think they'd avoid any opportunity for such comparisons to be drawn, but no; Hollywood can't seem to get enough of playing second-fiddle to cheesy porn.

[@natecw4164]

1:23:30 You guys really got flagged for five seconds of the Muppets song? My god 😂

[@TheSacredSavior]

Seeing this I'm really hoping that next year is "John Wick Month". Yes it would be a second time where Keanu is playing the main character, but I think it would be fun.

[@digitaldiablo1653]

"Why don't people just stay asleep and dream instead of living in the Matrix?" I don't think people can sleep forever. Also, the machines have people live lives in the Matrix so they think it's real, and don't get the idea to break out. It's a big distraction.

[@evilallensmithee]

20:55 “Not like this” hits so much harder when you realize originally she was going to be transgendered and she would have been dying outside her real body in the gender the Matrix forced her into.
