They say, "disappointment is a factor of expectation."
But even though my expectations for Matrix IV were low ... it's hard to overstate how bad it really is.
The only reason I continued to watch it was out of curiosity to see how much they'd trash it. Suffice to say they basically turned one of the most profound and creative films of a generation ... into a pretentiously boring SJW-fuelled Marvel cartoon of idiocy.
It has no charm, no point, and serves only to degrade the memory of a brilliant original concept ... as well as further dumb-down the creative expectations of our current generation ... whose idea of "entertainment" apparently hit rock bottom (and then started digging), quite some time ago.
It feels awfully sad ... but somehow, more or less appropriate.
One thing the movie got very right was this.
"The Sheeple aren't going anywhere. They like my world. They don't want freedom or empowerment. They crave the comfort of certainty. They want to be controlled."
Given what we've seen of how easily and willingly most of humanity has been kowtowed into slavery this last couple of years ... it's pretty goddamn hard to argue with that.
