    Yeah, I wasn’t a fan of the ‘love conquers all” direction we went with the last one. Hope they fold in some more inspired nineties postmodern sci fi elements/themes

      Tbf, they kinda did that in the original too, but at least it had the rest of the movie to make up for it

          Not at all. At the heart of the first movie there’s the story of Neo and Trinity falling in love and the love of Neo and rest of the crew and how he learns to accept and love his true self. The second movie is about the nature of love when committing to someone else and the lengths one can go to save, help and free them. The third movie is about acknowledging that love is real and everyone deserves it - even the machines and so Neo essentially learns to love all the machines because he realises they love their children too.

      That’s the point of the Marrix though - love is what allows us to find enough common ground with the machines to move forward together and stop the endless war. It’s been the theme of all the movies.
