      I think that's focusing too much on the literal events in the film. The point of the thematic resonance isn't to read Neo as a literal trans person in a literal fight to the death with cops, the events are simply resonant of the tension with societal expectations

      Fair in general, but I don't think that's an adequate framework for defending Ellie's "thesis" at the start of the thread

      I'm not really interested in discussion from the Watsonian perspective which is why I wasn't engaging in whether Cypher literally did nothing wrong in a detailed analysis of the precise events of the narrative. That's not a particularly enlightening debate

      I was sleep deprived and angry at someone who just called me an American Imperialist for wanting to get a coding job instead of, I dunno, living off GoFundMes for the rest of my life, and I decided to do some dark snark.

      Again, if we're being outright literal about the Matrix, we're essentially looking at a Seraphite/WLF situation (and Morpheus and his crew are the Seraphites). Religious zealot terrorists against the somewhat conservative but not super complicit guards of modernity

      So in that scenario, Cypher is a spy who does a brutal thing in a war with no real good guys, but where if I was going to pick a side, I would pick the other one

      Yeah I agree that if you interpret the film painstakingly literally then Morpheus and the crew don't come off great. Like, they're seeking to destroy the system keeping all of humanity alive for the sake of philosophical authenticity

      And, of course, at the end of the third film, they find a solution that involves negotiating with that system rather than destroying it.

      I liked The Matrix Online portraying the two "extremist" factions as equally misguided (but understandably so given their trauma)

      The Cypherites are never going to get the whole population of Zion to just agree to peacefully plug back into the Matrix even if the Machines actually put that option on the table

      But the E Pluribus Neo faction clinging to the original goal of collapsing the Matrix completely - which most fans of the movies still thought of as the obvious heroic stance - is also obviously genocidal madness Everyone would just die

          It's funny that the big reveal of what happened to Neo - his mind went back into the Matrix to be reborn as an ordinary person - energizes both factions The Cypherites thinks this proves even the One accepted the Matrix in the end, the EPN take it as a betrayal from the Machines

          Did the Deus ex Machina *reward* Neo for saving them or was it a final stab in the back because Machines are incapable of true gratitude and can never choose relinquish control Maybe both Also what does it say that his new form is a woman named Sarah Edmonton

          I dunno I’m not convinced “everyone just dying” is an outcome to be so easily dismissed when the alternative seems to be unavoidable arbitrary suffering mixed with some people having an okay time.
