    Karl had some teething problems when setting up, including recording the audio through his webcam by accident, so apologies for the lower quality than usual on the video, we still thought the coversation was fun and worth presenting. Thanks for sticking with us!

      Lets be honest anyone with a system that has multiple mics has at one time used the wrong one, most of the time we are in a meeting though and have someone listening at the start who says "your audio sounds a bit off". Logitech do put a reasonable mic in their webcams though which helps. Happens to the best of us.
      If you don't do a lot of device hopping (laptops) though so are using the same system you can disable the mics you dont want to use to help avoid accidents.

    I'm disappointed they did a sequel instead of a clever Matrix reboot Idea. So remake the Matrix, keeping in mind plot points from future movies. Completely replace everything, no references to the original film trilogy. Except... have Keanu Reeves play The Architect.

    To be fair about the creators not liking the idea of a simulation within a simulation, it is rather depressing and might have been at least part of the reason. Yes, I know the real world being a hell hole in constant war isn't really any better but I guess the hope is there at least that something could change to make things better.

    Neo overwrites Smith at the end of the first film. This link means they are both The One. Neo doesn't use powers in the real world, IRL Smith detonates an EMP which shorts out the Sentinels and then he and Neo go into a coma at the same time.

    What I think further supports the better idea that Agent Smith is the One and not Tom is that the Oracle, a future seeing program with nebulous psychic powers and knowledge literally tells Tom, "You are not the One."

    Imagine how awesome it would have been for The Matrix franchise if it turned out, Agent Smith was the first "One" and Neo never had a Human consciousness per se, but he was a Unique "Anti-Code". Smith had more Negativity during his run, so Upon his Death, the little Positive he had was converted + accumulated into coding, branched out and settled into one of the growing Humans in the Pods, becoming personified, becoming Neo.
    All of Smith's prevalent Negatives and disgust for how The Matrix still wasn't to his taste, condemned him to become one of the core Agents. Sentenced to be stuck in the very thing he was once a like God to (and not knowing his better half is now out there in The Matrix).
    Not only would this further explain Neo and Smith's connection, but Neo would then prove to be the light that somehow came out of nothing/darkness, further proving "Something CAN come from Nothing".

    People always forget Neo had alway been made as "the one" to get Zion and start the next version of Matrix.
    Meaning his hardware was different for that purpose. In other words, he was wireless. When he started doing stuff to real machines, it was because he managed to control that.

    Hmmm, the biggest question here, Carl, you know that the Original Movie is a Trans Allegory, and the sequels were a giant FU to the neo-nazi fans of the original movie that wanted to turn it into their entire ethos (which, again, hell no) so they made a movie that was meant to call that out, and showcase how powerless the idea of the Matrix as a power phantasy actually is (Neo can't actual turn the tide of the war until the end of the 3rd film, etc).
    Also, the Lobby scene...you are in the fortress center of power for the Agents in the city, no one else can come to your help, one of you gets killed, you lose your entire cell, they get an alert out, you are fighting 3 Agents at once. What do you do? By combat rules...KILL EVERYONE FAST, HARD, AND PAINFULLY.
    Finally...yeah, multi-level Matrixes was one of the potential angles...but the ending of the second movie was added later, since the 2nd and 3rd movies are designed to be watched back to back, not with months or years in between.

    After hearing of more incredibly awful music choices, I love the idea of a movie which begins with a super cliche music choice for it's genre. Everybody with some semblence of media literacy groans and rolls their eyes but by the end the song plays again at the end, it's actually a perfect thematic choice. That or a satirical comedy filled with really silly on the nose choices for its soundtrack for the sake of comedy.

    I always thought Neo had his powers outside the matrix was because he has a psychic link to the machines that is inherent to their programming logic. Basically, to the machines, he still has that power because he can change their software at will. The real world might say he cant fly, but the machines will still experience his influence on their software to say, stop them in their tracks and fry their circuits
    Also the fanfic idea completely makes the movies pointless thematically, a total bummer, and makes any further exploration pointless outside of the "look at the suffering" fiction. Night City has more hope than that

    I prefer the theory that Smith is the one due to reasons mentioned in the video and for me there's a certain irony that the thing they're fighting against is the very thong that saves humanity.
    "Fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony." as Morpheus puts it.

    My memory of the Matrix series is... Questionable at this point, it's been a few years. But doesn't the architect end up being wrong? He gives a dichotomy- two choices, one being saving the world, the other being saving Trinity and dooming both the Matrix and Zion. But both Zion and the Matrix, though damaged and revolutionized, aren't destroyed (at least, not in the three original movies), and Trinity lives. The Architect's "perfect" equations fail to account for everything- as the Oracle expected- and so all his stuffy, wordy, monologuing bullshit is proven to be just that: Bullshit.
    There are a lot of issues with the movies, yeah, but from my reading at least, the Architect was an intentionally stuffy shithead who's probably a takedown of something-or-other. Could be wrong though.
    The whole part where they attack the guards and stuff and the overt terror-y overtones is, well, yeah, that's just kinda not good.

    I think the Wachowskis are very smart and had some fantastic ideas, but sometimes people can get creative blinders. Much like George Lucas with the prequels, having other smart people willing and able to question him would have made those better films. You can get married to a creative vision and find yourself unwilling or unable to change tack if a better idea comes up.

    the matrix sequels were tragic. i've watched several videos explaining them and they're actually much more interesting than i thought but i didn't catch any of these important details when i watched them. i'm ready to admit i don't get most of it if we can all agree they tried way too hard to convolute the point. these movies would've been much better if they told us what the hell they were talking about instead of relying on my dumb ass to grasp the symbolism and jerk off to their philosophical dissertation.

    You pronounce Wachowski wrong- there is not 'c' or 'k' sound- also "W" should be "V". Whole surname should be pronounced like "Vahovski" (h like in hello).
    extra noone asked for:
    If they went to be girls now, they should be Wachowska (or if both Wachowskie)- Wachowski is singular for male name. Plural for male would be Wachowscy- so Wachowscy brothers not Wachowski brothers, but that's just fun note
    Origin of the name is polish
