Smith: *In the midst of yet another moment of rage* "Oh fffffffff-fiddlesticks! Dammit! This really ruffles my damn feathers!"

Cypher: *Turns to Jones and Brown* "Somebody please teach this guy to say fuck."

I was just thinking the other day about how in a movie series that's rife with S-bombs and "damn"s, Smith's one of the characters who swears the least. His grand total stands at one "Dammit" after the helicopter crash in 1, one "Damn" in Enter the Matrix, and one instance of him using the word "Bitch" to refer to Trinity while possessing Bane in Revolutions, and that's it lmao.

a lot of the "cypher was right" arguments forgot to mention the amount of peoples lives he was willing to sacrifice to get plugged back in.

he has a right to regret his choice, but bro straight up killed our favourite folks and was willing to let harm or death come to the many people in Zion

(also majorly creepy towards Trin)

His whole line "Ignorance is bliss" sums up the problem with him as a person, he wanted to risk the lives of so many people just so HE could live the life HE wanted, which really speaks loudly about some of the major voices in our world today regarding queer rights, woman's rights and A FUCKING GENOCIDE.

He had every right to doubt neo, every right to want to get plugged back in, but thats not why he is a villain. he's a villain cause of the number of lives he was straight up gonna sacrifice to get the prize of ignorance (bliss).

(would probably hit if given the chance though ngl)

I came across this badly translated sign, and it's now making me put forward to you guys a Matrix AU, where everything else is the same but rather than "Ignorance is bliss", what Cypher instead says to Smith in the steak restaurant about what he's realised after nine years is this, complete with finishing off by saying the normally-spelled 'Anything is possible' afterwards.

I recently realised another moral message that can potentially be taken away from the original Matrix trilogy. I’m not certain whether this is one that Lana and Lilly themselves intended when they wrote the movies, but nonetheless it’s one I’ve noticed. If it wasn’t deliberately intended by them, then I feel like it’s a testament to how well-written something is, if the creators put the connotations they themselves came up with into their work and the audience can also come to their own, additional thematic realisations. 🥰

What occurred to me was that Smith and Cypher’s separate character arcs are both parts of the same message. Cypher being tired of the troubles of the Real World and wanting to not live in fear is a very heavily understandable motive, but the simple fact is that he instantly loses sympathy as soon as he starts killing off Team Neb, who didn't know he was feeling so unhappy because he never talked it out and were always just doing their best with the situation they were in. And because Brown and Jones answer directly to the Machines and he could've been worried that telling them would get him deleted, I can understand more why Smith never told anyone about his hatred for humanity and for the Matrix world, but likewise, he similarly took out his troubles and inner demons on everyone around him by taking over the Matrix and nearly succeeding in destroying both worlds - not to mention the way he treated everyone interactions-wise in the meantime.

And so I realised the other day what another moral message of the trilogy is: no matter what personal problems you're going through or whatever inner crisis you're dealing with, it doesn't at all give you a free pass to treat the people around you like shit. I feel like it's definitely something that everyone can take away from the trilogy for everyday life. 💙

I wanted to use my favourite film to express the fact that even though I don't have much expertise on any of the sciences myself, I've still learned a lot more from being in a relationship with a microbiologist than I ever did in high school classes lmao. Besides, me not being knowledgeable about it means that he gets to infodump - a fair exchange for me infodumping to him about this franchise. 💕

I was inspired by this Buzz Lightyear of Star Command meme of someone else’s, and by having gone to see a 25th anniversary cinema showing of the first movie yesterday.

This came to me when I suddenly realised how similar Cypher's betrayal in Matrix 1 is to Zurg getting a collaborator in the Stranger Invasion episode of Buzz Lightyear of Star Command. It really helps that I already see some elements of Zurg's character in Smith, and that I was also inspired to make this by a text post meme I uploaded last year lmao.
