>>93220263>machine uprisings can't be simple, the very concept of AI pushes you into nuance.What I'm saying is that the first movie doesn't care about that. It's totally lazy and hackneyed about it because it literally could not give less of a shit about the nuances of AI. That's not the point of the movie. The point of the movie is how Thomas Anderson, lameass wagecuck and part-time hacker, becomes Neo, The One, the Messiah, the Hero. He is Luke Skywalker with a grunge aesthetic. The movie DOES NOT CARE about how the Machines feel or why they got where they've gotten. Agent Smith's hints about the past of the Matrix are merely meant to seem sinister. The Machines are the Galactic Empire. They exist to be evil. They exist to be an absolute enemy that must be defeated at all costs.
The minute the sequels and the Animatrix deviated from this, they stopped telling that simple story and started telling another sort of story that, frankly, the Wachowskis aren't good enough storytellers to properly get across. It would take better, smarter storytellers than they are to make the rest of the Matrix Trilogy compelling.
