time to thank Neo for when he said "it's martyr time" and martyred all over those guys

I assure everyone that I would never give JJ Abrams of all people credit he doesn't deserve. But the man has given multiple interviews over the course of the last nine years about the narrative trajectory he originally envisioned when he, Michael Arndt, and Lawrence Kasden created The Force Awakens. I'd have to be both flat-out stupid and ignoring basic tenets of media literacy to pretend he didn't set up clear and obvious character arcs for the new cast of characters in TFA that Rian Johnson then deliberately chose to ignore

So one thing that’s not fully fleshed out yet is the connection between Neo and Alyx. The intro makes a very clear correlation between them but so far there hasn’t been a clear reason why. Now that we’ve seen more of the blacksmith there’s not a doubt in my mind that Alyx ascended into this new form. She became the vehicle of rebirth.

So whither Neo, why have her be tied to Alyx so heavily? I think it might be their attitudes. Alyx came to the Ever After and made trouble. She lied, and cheated, and stole. That sounds familiar. But ultimately the story was true, she did have a change of heart at the tree. She made it her job to fix and repair the broken Afterans.

Now I think if Neo gets the cat kicked out of her that she might have that same change of heart. She came to the Ever After, perpetrated deeds of evil, and ultimately saw the pointless wickedness of her actions. Whether she ascends or returns to remnant to fix her past deeds we’ll see.

I am now officially playing Path of Neo.

(For reference: the only action game I've tried to play before this is fallout new vegas, and I got stuck in its tutorial level because I couldn't shoot the tin cans off the fence. I only made it through Legends Arceus by mashing the "let me start from where I left off with full health pwease 🥺" button 6 times per bossfight)

So far I've managed to:

Die 1 minute into the difficulty-determining challenge & get assigned Easy Difficulty Level For Babies

Fail the cubicle stealth level multiple times (midway through, they stopped giving me Glowing Green Boxes to run to, and made me start making directional and stealth choices manually 😔)

Fling Neo off a roof to his death, because I accidentally hit the "let go of ledge" button instead of the "pull yourself up from ledge" button

See a cop running up, assume the game wanted me to push him off the roof to progress, and go "okay Neo. You have to kill a man. I know you're still an ordinary office worker. But you're already a wanted man, might as well go all in." I waste a couple minutes grappling with the cop (I couldn't shove him unless he was standing, so every time he got knocked over, I had to wait politely for him to get up). I finally manage to push him over the edge. And then I realize: all I actually had to do was shove him once and run for a ladder. I made Neo put murder on his conscience for nothing 😔

Get grabbed by more cops, while mashing the "wiggle out of their grasp & shove them" button and going "wiggle, Neo!!! wiggle for your life!!!!!"

Game over repeatedly in the same spot, which meant I kept having to watch the same cutscene where Smith goes "In a hurry to meet someone? I only want a moment of your time." With every replay, it sounded more like "noooo, don't run to your motorcycle date with Trinity. You're supposed to have a date with me!"

Finally make it past that spot, round a corner, and immediately run Neo straight into a hail of bullets (this was the very first cop to try shooting him instead of Letting Him Wiggle)

I did finally manage to get him to his motorcycle date, though. 😮‍💨 "Experience the power of being The One!" okay, but I don't feel like I am Neo. I feel like I'm babysitting him. Badly.
