Rewatched The Good Place for the first time since s4 dropped and. Oh my god. The Good Place said "people are a result of their environment but we always have a moral responsibility to be better" and The Good Place said "every day the world gets a little more complicated and it gets a little harder to be good" and The Good Place said "even in the face of total nihilism, when nothing you do will matter, you still have to at least try. Because trying is better than the alternative" and The Good Place said "if you have bills to pay and shit to deal with you don't have time or energy to become a better person" and then The Good Place really said "people get better when they get external love and support. How can we hold it against them when they don't " and THEN The Good Place really said "no one is irredeemable. Everyone can try to be better today than they were yesterday" AND THEN! The Good Place said "Heaven is just enough time with the people that you love" OH MY FUCKING GOD.

Lol, I saw this on TikTok and thought I would share here, too. Credit goes to @rhondatoksaboutbooks on TikTok. The video can be found at this link.

Edit: I added image descriptions to the images. There is also a reblog with the image descriptions if that's easier for you. 😊

Their look says it all.

Can't believe we never found out which of the Pickwick triplets did it.

The Matrix Resurrections

I loved it.

Loved a concise and specific reason why the reboot happened, loved having hipster machines being on their side now, loved seeing Io be something better and more advanced than Zion, loved Trinity gaining power, love theorizing that Neo and Trinity could very well become the next Architect and Oracle (there MUST be Two and this new Architect arrogantly thinks he can do it alone), I loved that the new Morpheus was better version of Finn from Star Wars, loved that Jada Pinkett Smith's character wasn't a traitor like I feared she was (a better Holdo), loved that the W sisters ENDLESSLY mocked reboots in the most meta way I've ever seen, loved that the machine digimon girl had a Rogue One backstory but you didn't need a whole separate movie to explain it, "my parents saw that they were evil, installed a weakness for just this occasion, and those assholes killed my parents, so let's wreck them", the new Rey wasn't a Mary Sue, Agent Smith is still a wildcard, I want to see more machines versus machines, I loved that the new Architect is an asshole even to machines and basically outsourced Agents to bots, you took their jobs!!!, I love that they found a VERY specific sci Fi/economic element to use to explain why things are going to shit now: scarcity. It's not magical, it not bullshit. It's literally and simply that there isn't enough power anymore, so adapting has to occur and assholes are always going to fight a war simply to resist it. And that's how any social change happens.

Women didn't gain rights simply because it's the right thing to do, it's because WW2 required middle class women to work. Slavery didn't end simply because it was the right thing to do. It was no longer economically viable.

Why are some machines starting to side with humans? Because that small nudge Neo started where more humans than usual were freed caused JUST enough scarcity for machines to kill each other to save power. Which caused human-sympathic machines to unplug and run away to escape the violence. Which emboldens humans to unplug more humans so it actually makes the power shortages worse. So, resurrect Neo and Trinity to make up the difference with their main character power.... Except sorry, Neil Patrick Harris, you can drug him, overwork him, and distract him as much as you want, Neo isn't going to live in your tiny box.

God damn it, it's so RARE for a sci Fi action flick to have a simple and real backbone of rationality behind why the hyperactive bullet-time Kung Fu action shenanigans to be happening. And I was just so happy that this possible trilogy DOES. AND that it has a reason that doesn't disrespect the original trilogy. Neo DID save hundreds of thousands of people. He did accomplish something in the original trilogy. (Unlike Star Wars which just shrugs and says Darth Vader never actually killed Palpating with his dying breath... Because... And then makes Luke into a monster who'd try to murder his nephew in his sleep... Because...)

I'm just so happy they didn't spit in the face of the original trilogy to extend the story. But what do you think?
