Gender? More like, give me EXACTLY what Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves have (*in a totally non-threatening way*)

The unfortunate legacy of The Force Awakens and the Star Wars sequels

The fact that The Force Awakens made so much money in 2015 has been a lead weight around Hollywood's neck for the better part of a decade now. 

We're *STILL* seeing decades-late sequels that imitate the Star Wars sequels' WORST elements. 

Specifically:

Make sure your classic character(s) has/have been totally miserable and/or failures since they were last seen. Yes, even though it’s been at LEAST a decade, they should’ve been suffering the whole fucking time.

Erase at least one character's growth (or sometimes even their base character traits) entirely, resetting them back where they started in their first film (or, alternatively, rendering them unrecognizable). 

Kill off some of those legacy characters ASAP to ensure they have no hope of ever achieving the happy ending you once promised/implied.

Work in obvious repeats of prior movies’ events and scenes so the audience can be like “Oooh, I remember when they said/did that in the other movies,” resulting in them feeling like they’re in on something and are therefore validated.

In fact... maybe just copy/paste the entire plot from an earlier entry? No surprises means MAXIMUM NOSTALGIA.

These things were all present in The Force Awakens and even repeated for The Last Jedi. But they wound up just being pioneers of a shitty trend.

Some examples:

Terminator: Dark Fate

Ghostbusters Afterlife

The Matrix Resurrections

Scream (2022)

Clerks III

The degree of the severity of these things varies, at least. Maybe not every single legacy character has been completely miserable since we last saw them; it might be only some or even just one of them. I’ll also grant Ghostbusters Afterlife that killing off Egon was the only reasonable choice available to them. Situations like these can help soften the blow... and for those reasons, I don’t hate ALL of the movies I just listed. There’s even one or two I kinda like!

But make no mistake: All of the above lessons/tropes are still shitty ones. The legacy of the Star Wars sequels (TFA most specifically) is still a damning one. I honestly believe that ALL the movies I cited would all be better off if they hadn’t taken ANY cues from TFA’s template.

(un)popular opinion: matrix should have been a standalone.

Hate on the Matrix sequels if you want but Neo becoming an anomaly among anomalies by choosing to save the love of his life and start a revolution over maintaining the status quo is one of the hottest things any film protagonist has ever done

A new Matrix film is in the works, being written and directed by Drew Goddard (Cabin in the Woods, Bad Times at the El Royale) this will be the fifth film in the series.

Lana Wachowski is executive producing

“Drew came to Warner Bros. with a new idea that we all believe would be an incredible way to continue the Matrix world, by both honoring what Lana and Lilly began over 25-years ago and offering a unique perspective based on his own love of the series and characters”

Hello all again!

Bet you weren’t expecting me to make two posts today huh?

While not exactly a “thing I own now”

I still have never posted about it here so...

I figured it was time to introduce everyone to my absurd Matrix collection.

All of these are different releases of the matrix movies (and Enter The Matrix)

There is;

The Matrix - DVD

The Matrix Revisited - DVD

The Matrix - VHS, collector’s edition

Enter The Matrix - PlayStation 2

The Animatrix - DVD

The Matrix Reloaded - VHS

The Matrix Reloaded - DVD, Full-Screen Edition

The Matrix Reloaded - DVD, Wide-Screen Edition

The Matrix Revolutions - DVD, Full-Screen Edition

The Matrix Revolutions - DVD, Wide-Screen Edition

Yeah... that’s a lot of Matrix films. And I’m probably not even done at all. Nope, but that’s fine. The crazy thing is... I’ve gotten all of these from thrift stores.(Except Enter The Matrix) So I have gotten all of these for ridiculously cheap. Like 3$ each max.

So yeah, that’s my collection!

Keanu Reeves needs to stop making terrible action films and start playing charming men who don’t say a lot but make sensual eye contact, period dramas of awkward guys, or even charismatic men who are kinda dicks sometimes

After a long Doctor Who hiatus I finally watch season eight and nine. I just finished Hell Bent and everything you’ve ever said about it was so true. It was so beautiful and so tragic it’s hard to put it into words. Doctor Who has been my favorite show for years now and I’m really at a point where I just don’t want to continue, I’m happy where it ended, it just feels right to stop here. I’m an emotional wreck rn oh my God

Anyway, thank you for being the only blog on Tumblr who matters. You are a true inspiration for me and I hope you’re doing well!

Right?! It's a rebirth but it's such an ending. In amidst all the tragedy there's an uplift and an eternal, ever-burning hope, yet there's a kind of finality to that moment. Infinite possibility spreads out before the characters, but this window, our window, into their story has closed.

Thank you so much! 💕😊

Why do I have complex feelings about Cloud Strife’s gender....

Keanu Reeves,THE MATRIX RESURRECTIONS (2021) Grade: D

This was not worth the hype or anything really. I was shocked how bad it was. Terrible. Little surprised no one gave them a bigger budget cause this looked like a student film. Only for the die hard fans of the previous films.

Remember 2003? Remember the summer? Remember the summer movies of 2003? Remember Hulkmania? Remember how The Matrix Reloaded was going to blow everyone’s mind?
