»Zion is not ready«

Matrix-bashers should think things throughly before saying the ending really sucked, that it was stupid, or that it was a mockery. These bashers are disappointed because they wanted Neo to destroy the machines and free everyone from The Matrix.

Have you ever stopped to think just for one second what would happen to the people in the pods once they were freed? First of all, they would have to perform the special medical procedures performed to Neo in the first movie to every single person "waking up" in the real world. i.e. restoring their muscles, taking the sockets away, etc.

Zion doesn't have enough people to do this. Neither are they ready to shelter the millions of people being rescued from the pods. It's just not possible.

So, freeing everyone from The Matrix at the same time would be pointless, since they will probably die anyway from lack of attention.

Indeed

There would definitely be alot of deaths since not all of the freed could receive the proper attention.

That's exactly my point.

I think when the Matrix stopped being perceived as 'cool' and became cerebral it was then 'uncool' and became geeky. After the MTV awards parody quite obviously attacked the integrity of the characters it was a downhill battle.
Mainstream demanded an 'Officer and a Gentleman'/'Pretty Woman' like happily-ever-after no loose ends wrap-up and instead they were made to think.
That is the mistake.
Revolutions delivered on Morpheus' mantra to 'free your mind' as is abundantly evident with this forum and the thousands of threads it has generated and discussed.
I think most people just don't get it. Their loss, and not mine. I believe that the entire Matrix universe is pure genius.
If mainstram pop-culture does not believe, well as Morpheus told Lock, "my beliefs do not require them to".

(tips hat to 'oscargabrielp' and of course to Akshat)

Ya I should really start taking that attitude. Its not my problem that people are missing out because they cant appreciate the Matrix.

Matrix ruled!

Greatest piece of fiction written.

I agree. But I think this is exactly what the Bros. thought would happen. Think about the reaction Christ (Neo) got when he came to free those of Jerusalem (Zion) with the word (Logos) and not the sword (Hammer). They rejected him and crucified him. The mainstream public who thought they were matrix fans didn't understand the ultimate mission of Neo, and when he didn't open up a can of whoopass, they crucified the creators and the movies by not trying to understand the why. All they knew was the how and not the why, and thus they whined and sought to destroy this franchise by not even seeing Revolutions. Well we are the few who believe. And no matter the religious metaphor used, every great man from Christ to Buddah were not welcome in their own hometowns.

These great movies are a perfect example of art imitating life in a very real way. Socialogists would have a field day with fan reactions.

i agree with this whole thread...


i don't know how many more times i'll be able to say that...
