    My only real gripe with the matrix trilogy is where Neo can “see” agent smith in Bane’s body and “see” all the machines at the machine city. It didn’t need that over the top messiah thing when he was already the messiah simply because of his power within the matrix.

    And if the idea is “the real world is also a simulation, made to convince humans they were free” it sort of goes against all the monologuing that smith and the architect do about how humans rebelled against versions of the matrix in which they were free

      That’s explained in the video. Neo can see the machines because he communed with the Source.

        being explained doesn’t make it good. i don’t hate it because i’m too stupid to get it, i hate it because it’s dumb and it sucks.
