Media (Movies/Tv Shows)

The Matrix is one of the most beloved film franchises of my generation. From a film critiquing perspective, looking back on it, aside from the 1st film, they weren't written all that well. While I appreciated the other two films, my personal favorite was "Reloaded" because it was action-packed. Then they decided to release a fourth movie. I admit, when it was announced I was geeked, I'd always hated what happened to Neo at the end of "Revolutions" and the way it ended. Then, I watched it and in one movie, they annihilated an already mediocre franchise. Bad writing decisions would be an understatement. This film was the epitome of garbage.

Actually Watching The Matrix Resurrections

That said, I take full responsibility for my disappointment. I fully should have known what I was in for with the recent trend in Hollywood. I'm honestly just glad that I watched it on HBOMAX and didn't waste any of my hard-earned money on it. I seriously couldn't believe what I was witnessing, I wonder if Lawrence Fishburne read the script and decided he wanted no part of it. I also think the actor they had play Morpheus was one of the few bright spots of that abomination. Furthermore, the nonsensical need for this "equality" agenda being pushed in all our movies is the main reason the box office is seeing record lows in terms of profitability.

Lastly, I will say this again, women do not make good superheroes, nor do they want to. Women want their men to be the superheroes. Sure, a small minority of women might, but its just that, a small minority. The idea of both Trinity & Neo being omnipotent inside the matrix seems ludicrous and unrealistic. It almost seems like a gross (naïve) misinterpretation of the laws that govern nature and people are seeing through it. Not only are they seeing through it, their rejecting it in the only way that matters, we aren't paying for it anymore. Peace!

Warner Brothers, James Gunn in particular, has come under fire for the decision to recast some roles in the "detective comics universe" (DCU). Furthermore, I'm not mad at it. At first, when I heard Henry Cavill was being replaced, I was pissed! But when I thought about it deeper, it made sense. For the last decade or so, Warner Brothers has been the worst-run media entertainment company in America. They've made nothing but bad decisions for as long as anyone can remember. Since a new regime's in place at the company, it's wise that they want to have a clean slate. Furthermore, the reboot allows the company to erase any lingering artistic debacles from manifesting themselves going forward.

As an aside, we as fans are finally going to get to see just how good James Gunn really is. As he's going to have free rein to do whatever the hell he wants with this universe that's in dire need of saving, there will be no excuses. I for one, have never really been a huge fan of Gunn. I thought the GOTG movies were ok but by no means lifechanging. Furthermore, I thought what he did with the suicide squad was better than the previous iteration but again not as good as the hype it received. I just hope Warner brothers will finally start doing right by the fans before its too late. Peace!

" We're gonna make it, you're gonna watch it, and you're gonna like it". Those are the words that distinctly come to mind when I think about the marvel universe post "Phase 3", with the exception of "Spiderman N.W.H." of course. Hardcore Marvel fans will remember the leak of Disney executive; Karey Burke setting forth the "woke" agenda that has since ruined the nature of everything marvels fans like me have come to love about the franchise. It's quite the irony that the "Karen" archetype has become so prominent in our society. It's synonymous with a certain growing demographic of person (nagging, middle-aged white women) that believes they are the center of existence. How does this correlate, you ask? Marvel is at foremost a business, which is driven by profit, which is driven by supply/demand. If a "Karen"(Karey) is at the decision-making helm of the direction of a film franchise like marvel, then their implicit philosophy can manifest as a disregard for demand-driven decisions.

Throughout "Phase 4" of marvel, they've seen a massive decrease in profit, which to a competent executive would indicate that the demand for their content is decreasing. Furthermore, this implication would lead them to identify the root cause of their decrease in demand and rectify it. However, a "Karen" would not take these steps, they would just continue with their agenda with no regard for the demand for the content they are supplying while masking it under a vale of some sort. Does any of this sound familiar to you? Have you been watching some of your favorite content destroyed? The only course of action you have is to make the decisions that are in your best interests. Peace & love!
