What if the Matrix sequels followed an anthology format kind of like American Horror Story seasons, but good?The first movie famously centered around Plato's Allegory of the Cave. What story could Matrix Movie 2 have covered?Bonus points if you gracefully integrate settings and lead actors from the 1st Matrix. Ultimate win is an idea that pwn's the writers for lazily loreshitting and sacrificing the focus on allegory in order to exploit the original's cast and setting. Maybe YOU could have kept the allegory angle in a graceful way that fits, where they failed?
>>219854674The second Matrix movie way more philosphically and allegorically dense than the first desu. But only true kinoisseurs will understand this.
I think the myth of Atlantis (also given as an allegory by Plato), done up as the fall of the machine civilization, could have fit. I wonder if they were thinking of invoking this in the end of Revolutions, but if so, it was kind of an afterthought.
>>219854711I dont think density is my point. The first one was basically an adaption of Plato's Allegory of the Cave. What was the second one an adaption of? Nothing in particular. It was just checking off boxes to give more of what the first had: kungfu gun fights, car chase, bullet time, leather, agents, philosophy, romance. I'm not saying it's "bad" but I wonder what other allegories could have been retold instead if they went for an anthology angle.
