    My favourite part of this movie was that they directly call out WB by making an unnecessary sequel mandate part of the plot.

      And yet there are rumors that they’re going to force another one! I figured that would have stopped them in their tracks, but the studios are relentless.

        Y’know what? I hope they get Keanu.

        I hope every actor returns, and they all half-ass it as hard as they can. I hope the whole cast does the movie sarcastically.

        I hope every subsequent film from this idiot robot studio in this zombie franchise is sillier and more self-sabotaging than the last, and they keep cranking them out anyway. Let the whole thing descend into SCP cursed-VHS-tape levels of self-aware vicious condemnation. The Matrix 6 has Slavoj Zizek, as himself, explain to Agent Smith’s ghost why he’s an asshole, and Hugo Weaving just sits there, stone-faced, in a silly hat. The Matrix 7 is mostly Lana and whatsherface dunking on conservative bigots with an in-character Greek chorus. The Matrix 8 has Will Smith as Neo opposite Laurence Fishburne doing a Sean Connery impression, but it’s all a joke at Will Smith’s expense, and apparently he’s into that. The Matrix 9 brings back Joey Pants for a stealth remake of Memento that’s mostly satirizing later Christopher Nolan. The Matrix 10 is a stoner comedy. The Matrix 11 is animated, so that David Zaslov will erase it from existence, and the series can finally die.

      And honestly that made it work for me. Not that alone, it was a work of art in its own right, not just one more part. More like a spinoff if that makes sense. It has a very different setting and stuff, I like it
