At this point it not even that I not excited for these nastolgic come backs but more I simply exhausted of them all. May be good May be like many others. May be mod tier. But I honestly saving my bucks for new content.
@@duta6388 I actually haven't. I just watch videos like this or people's reaction videos an breakdowns but never go see actual movie. Like Endgame for example. Never watched it an probably never will.
Neo: I want to be reinserted into the Matrix. Maybe as someone older. How about a skilled assassin with a sweet Mustang and dog? Morpheus can be some weird pigeon guy who hangs out on rooftops.
I always thought it was interesting. A bit long winded, maybe, but it gave viewers a lot to think about concerning past iterations of the Matrix and the nature of whether Neo (or any of us for that matter) really has free will or not. I'm one of the few that loved Reloaded because of all the philosophical stuff. Revolutions bothered me though because all of that was virtually ignored. When they finally do a last movie, they need to name it Matrix Revelations. They could do a lot philosophically there.
I was 13 when the sequel came out and absolutely loved that scene and still do. It's basically the entire matrix dictionary. Anything about the matrix you don't understand you just watch that scene.
It's a perfect example of challenging your audience (and unfortunately dividing them as well). I thought it was one of the greatest moments of the whole trilogy and stood everything up on its head. It gave the sequels meaning and purpose, and provided and intelligent explanation as to the existence of Neo and the entire resistance. I never understood the hate. I think some people just hate that the scene was too complex for them to understand, and just want to shut their brains off when they watch a movie. I hope the new one challenges us, takes risks, and pushes boundaries. Even if we have to watch it a couple of times to get our heads around it!
@@cameronmilligan I think people rejected it for 2 reasons. First the Architect's dialogue went over their heads and audiences don't like to be challenged. Second, they're uncomfortable with the idea that they might not have as much free will as they thought, which is what Neo realizes. Which is a great theme to explore. The sad part is that viewers want to feel comfortable. So they were divided.
@@mish375 don't forget they are uncomfortable with all other iterations of Neo giving into cooperation at that moment. It kind of kills the hero image. I know several people that hated it because of that
replace “video game” with “movie series” and suddenly this video went from being a theory to a whole prediction. i spent the first half of the movie screaming in my head “holy smokes MatPat was right”
No it was, and the movie wasn't too subtle that Lana didn't even want to make it but rather prevent WB from turning it into a huge franchise....which was successfully done since the film was terrible.
But Morpheus isn't a clone he's a program coded by Neo in the matrix, and someone else freed the new Morpheus from that code and into the new matrix. And neither is Trinity, Neo and Trinity have been "Repaired" so that the new matrix can funtion.
It makes a lot of sense to have the matrix movies embedded into the culture of the new matrix, both within the narrative context of the universe, and because the matrix actually IS iconic within our culture.
How cunning would it be to manipulate Neo into thinking his past memories were just creative script fodder? Is it to keep him under control so he doesn't use his abilities, willingly hand over whatever control he has to the machines, or to get him to do something in particular for them? And lol@Agents being his literal Agent. XD
Maybe they need him to fight the aliens. It is already a part of the canon so it isn’t completely out of left field for extraterrestrials to go after them.
@@GODOFAWSOMENESS1 it may be Canon, but most people like me didn't learn of it before this video. And even less folks since film theory isn't such a giant to be popular to the masses
Well technically the humans and machines are at peace so I think it's their way of reinserting an adult they need back into the matrix. It also fixes the problem of him looking for answers because he already has them and the matrix can finally be stable until a new antagonist decides to kick off. Maybe there are machine factions now as I doubt it's going to just be "The machines" again.
It's crazy how accurate MatPat was with this theory. Almost everything he said was true except for the one difference of it being a video game rather than a film series. I swear, this man either predicts an entire movie or just makes it fucking better
I thought both of them were clones because of the strawberry, I missed the part with neo's burned eyes. It would have made more sense that they were both clones.
How? Trinity wasn't a clone, the analyst tells how hard it was to get the machine world to let him repair both of their bodies and Morpheus is a program apparently in some part written by Neo as part of his video game that even explains that he's based on part Morpheus and part Smith and we see him as one of those programs that can transition into the real world just the same as the one that's helping them decode the genome of a matrix strawberry and grow it for real. He was also in the Matrix with Trinity because it supposedly created more power. His boss was Smith but not seemingly as a check or balance as the analyst was and also Smith in his original form was destroyed at the end of the trilogy because the machines world couldn't co trol him and he had grown too powerful necessitating the alliance of New and the machines where Neo destroyed Smith in exchange for the salvation of Zion. There also was no Matrix movie in the movie, it was a trilogy of video games. This was pure conjecture that was at best 50/50 on what the actual movie presented.
See my theory is that it’s not a story about a new matrix, but instead PTSD. The idea being that he’s taking the blue pill to forget the events of the first trilogy. He’s hallucinating the events as if they’re happening again and the plot is him coming to grips with the idea that the world is free again.
Theory: There are three different theorists behind the channels: MatPat, PatMat, and TamTap. They are identical triplets, and one of them controls each channel: MatPat for Game Theorists, PatMat for Film Theorists, and TamTap for Food Theorists. This explains how the three channels can each put out one video a week, and *still* have them be very in-depth, high-quality videos.
I Perfer the theory that Matrix is actually a prison for the Machines and the 'humans' are just less important programs that the rest Bully because they can and Neo is just a glitch that Human overseer ignore because he screws over the Head Machines.
I've always hated that theory. It's a detriment to the writing of the original trilogy. It creates a completely nonsensical unbelievable world concept where no matter what happens it could just be another level. Effectively nothing matters and nothing can be taken seriously, the stakes are gone. The Matrix being the only level is what drove the plot.
I’m surprised about this, you almost got everything right about the story, the meta, self awareness, the commentary about rebooting franchises. Great video!
The real theory = The real world where you find Zion, is also the matrix.. Neo used his matrix powers to stop a charging machine in the "Real World". So the "Real world" is a previously failed matrix... Simulations within Simulations.
@@ronsnow402 thats what i was thinking, and this running theme of "choice". Who knows how deep within the matrix they are. and the perceived perception of each person, e.g bugs seeing neo and trinity differently, and people seeing morpheus differently etc. along with people inside the matrix interacting "outside"
I've heard of this whole theory about Neo being an actor from The Matrix film series which happens to exist within the larger universe of The Matrix but thought it was a little silly and kind of meta just for the sake of being meta. But I can see how it can be used to provide a more meaningful meta-statement on the film industry. A lot of movies attempt to be "enlightened" by injecting some sociopolitical/philosophical commentary when in fact that same commentary is simply a way for the film industry to sell more tickets to audiences that consider themselves to be more "enlightened". The audience feels more intelligent and socially engaged by watching these supposedly more sophisticated films but a lot of them don't take the commentary to heart and simply experience it for the sake of entertainment rather than to actually change the world. A philosophically deep cinematic trilogy like The Matrix can be utilized to simply market towards more intellectually minded cinephiles who are in the end still trapped in their own Matrix, a system managed partly by the film industry that pacifies us by showing that they're aware of the injustices of the world so that we feel satisfied and don't truly attempt to change the system in the first place.....not that I necessarily believe in this meta-statement to begin with but it could be one aspect of the meta-narrative of the upcoming installment.
With the whole "needing humans as batteries" situation, it makes sense the whole cloning route, after all, it's not like the people in the matrix are getting busy in the real world to produce more batteries. Plus reencarnacion is canon in the very first movie, so cloning would be a way to "control" and "limit" the potential of the people who pose as a threat to the machines.
@@danielmcgillis270 I think the original idea for having all of the humans was actually to use them for CPU as opposed to a battery but in that decade they didn't think we'd understand CPU. the brain’s storage capacity at 1 petabyte,
The only problem with that is that they seem to be "cloning" them as adults (that's not what cloning is...) whereas in the movies we've only ever seen the machines grow humans normally starting with babies. Obviously the machines could create new babies with the same DNA (ACTUAL clones) or modified DNA, we can even do that today if we ignored ethics, which the machines obviously would.
Matrix actually really resembles a book called “Labyrinth of reflections” published in 1997. It’s themes are quite similar, sometimes even identical, especially the ending. Props to the writer, he created a great book about VR-chat back in 1991.
@@BillyOnTH-cam it’s called “Labyrinth of reflections”. The book describes virtual spaces where you can work or socialise with other people. If you think about it, this book also predicted work from home.
Mattpatt, another thing about the Blue motif from the therapist and agent that seems more obvious is that they represent the Blue Pill of accepting the matrix as reality! They’re there to sedate Neo into believing that it was just a movie...
After playing through “The Matrix Awakens” Unreal Engine teaser, this theory definitely seems more plausible. Trinity constantly breaking the fourth wall and referencing their world as a film seems like a theme that will carry into the new installment
The real theory = The real world where you find Zion, is also the matrix.. Neo used his matrix powers to stop a charging machine in the "Real World". So the "Real world" is the previously failed matrix.
Plot twist: The Matrix and John Wick share a cinema-verse. Anderson/Neo is still in the Matrix, dreaming that he's actor Keanu Reeves playing John Wick. I mean, didn't he say, "Guns. Lots of guns." in both franchises? : )
I know they wouldn’t, but I’ve been hoping. I mean, Laurence Fishburne is the friggin’ Bowery King. Just bring in Hugo Weaving already. Seriously, though. It’s already bizarrely setup for a crossover.

Ezma, The Emperor's New Groove EDIT: Add link to TH-cam video of the "Emperor's New Groove flea in a box" scene: th-cam.com/video/mMSHOPkcVv8/w-d-xo.html
One of my favorite parts in the original is when Neo has deja vu and Trinity asks him (in a very aggro way) "How much like the same cat? Was it the same cat?" So maybe the 'deja vu' of the similar scenes will be the clue that they changed something.
I actually want this theory to come true. I mean Keanu is still sporting his John Wick look, so would be cool if the Wachowskis make the whole movie really self-aware about Keanu's persona and movie reboots.
Neo is like that one piece of code that no one knows how it got there and what it really does but if you remove it the entire thing stops working completely.
if you were to make virtual reality to be taken care of by AIs, wouldnt you give yourself like perfect admin permissions or smth just in case? cant rebel outright if killing/removing the admin bricks everything. most you can do is try and trick them
So the real question is, is Neo an anomaly as the Architect says, the flaw in the system, or is he actually the harmony? If he's the harmony then the machines have truly won the battle and devised a system that will continue to work until the end of time, but if he really is a flaw in the system then the humans have actually won since they created the machines who are producing the flaw and who cannot stop producing the flaw, leaving a continual opportunity for the liberation of human beings.
My problem with “challenging the audience” is that the last matrix movies already did that. There needs to be a greater purpose to “resurrect” this franchise…
And there's a difference between "challenging the audience" and insulting/attacking the audience for caring about a franchise when it's that care that lets you make the movie, ala TLJ
I think you hit the nail on the head with the Merovingian. That mythology contains magical royalty, mysterious betrayal, and a lost bloodline. Having the last heir of the Merovingian dynasty rise as vampire to seek vengeance against his betrayers makes sense to me.
I mean in universe it could just be explained that clone trinity has had more time to age than clone Morpheus since she died first. Does seem like kind of a weird choice though. Maybe they didn't have enough genetic information on hand to make a perfect Morpheus?
Morpheus is a program. Trinity is alive. Just like Neo. You can see that when the scenes show them "splitting" and you can see their actual Matrix avatars that the Machines uploaded their consciousness to after Revolutions when they retrieved and repaired their bodies.
"...he literally slides out of a small vent on the side of a building and kills Morpheus." This right here is the best 300 IQ Among Us play and you can't convince me otherwise.
I feel like 90% of the questions about the new matrix movie is answered by one simple fact, even trinity being alive again and neo being reinserted into the matrix: the matrix was rebooted at the end of matrix 3, and it's already been said by the architect that neo is a "statistical anomaly" that occurs in every single version of the matrix, we even see the different versions of him talking to the architect on the tv screens. Neo is back and trinity is because they're in every single rebooted version of the matrix, it really is as simple as that. It's a weird kind of computer generated reincarnation. Hence, matrix resurrection.
another nail to hang this theory on: Thomas Anderson clearly tried his hand at fantasy romance drama in the Lake House (2006) that he now has to fight Morpheus in
My theory? Remember the conversation Cypher had with the agent when he was talking about being put back into the Matrix? He said he wanted to be rich, really rich. An actor or somebody really famous. I think the agent and the AI within the Matrix decided that THAT must be the ultimate life that all people dream of living. When they put Neo back into the Matrix, that's exactly the life they gave him, the one they thought all people craved. Now, couple that with the idea that they will also give him back Trinity (real love) so that he can have a human's idea of a complete and fulfilling life, and BANG! They can keep him happy in the Matrix. Only... you know, they can't because he's The One. Always was and always will be. As for Morpheus? I think he's younger because Neo had him built. Neo can alter things within the Matrix. He knows in his subconscious that he will need a guide to get him back out of the Matrix. Just a theory. I think it's a great time to have a new Matrix movie come out. Look around. Everyone at least seems like they're walking around distracted and in the Matrix.
Matrix 4 is going to end with Neo realizing he's plugged into a different kind of Matrix, and after rebelling, is faced with the choice to continue living a lie in the Matrix itself, or face down an actual Alien Apocalypse vs Machine Apocalypse.
But The architect stated that "the perfect world was created" and it caused more problems than a more "common" society... reason why 20 century was replicated. I think the idea behind that is that an open mind with no chaos/ society limits / superficial problems, may find easier the simulation problems, and thus realizing that it is in fact a lie... Something similar to "the trees dont let you see the forest"... Its easy to blame society/god/universe/luck when things have certain "chaos inherent" About Cypher, Im still wondering to such extent Matrix Reintegration would be posible, its never stated if that could actually be possible or just another lie. We got in the movie Smith that stops following his script so his actions doesnt really show the original outcome for that (but we saw he overwrited totally Cypher) we are not sure if this "troyan horse" was just an Original smith move or something "the machines/matrix" would be doing anyways.
You’re actually 95% correct on it. You understand the matrix in many ways. I’m the Neo Heather, my name is Timothy Hull. I’m the one that said we all have our own marbles that are universes in your hearts and souls. It resides in your heart because that’s where the purest energy of your soul was put. You’re a very intelligent woman, I’m the one that encompasses all the marbles because I’m trusted by and with God. I’m the Neo that gave the ability for others to be Neo. My entire life is proof. I love all life, all particles, all dimensions and existences so much, God granted me the power to be God. If you ever felt or heard these words before this comment, it’s because of me, I just want you to know that. In the past 2 and a half months life has been changing rapidly because of my energy.
@@criznittle968 wife fell asleep, I thought about turning it off halfway through. They used 20 minutes of footage from the other movies. It was a train wreck.
How incredibly immersive for us as an audience to potentially have seen perfect representations of their in universe pop culture in the form of movies we thought were for us but were actually for characters within this new matrix. We become the npcs of this matrix once again but in this completely meta, up to date way.
My Theory: The "Trinity" we're seeing in the trailer is really a program designed to think she's Trinity, or think like her so Neo has a companion and not want to leave the Matrix.
I like this theory. Trinity and Morpheus must have been played by different “actors” in this movie’s timeline because Neo didn’t recognize her in the coffee shop.
The only problem I have in this theory is we see them meet and ask "have we met?", implying that we are seeing theme meet - from their perspective - for the first time. That is, they aren't friends who hang out together all the time, which is what would be true if this Trinity was designed and in the Matrix to placate Neo. That's the only problem I see with that theory. If the machines were going to make a "best friend" for you to placate you, why would they then NOT introduce you to each other? This Trinity appears to exist as just another person in the world, meaning she can't be there to placate Neo, per se. Or, if that was the intent, somehow she was introduced in the wrong part of the Matrix world and never met Neo until that point, right?
@@jonathanbetenbender307 on what... i can eloborate on what i did today, i slept then i ate, then i masturbated, then i went for a walk, then i took a nap and now im watching youtube
Absolutely solid theory, makes sense all around. So Matrix 4 is going to be super meta about the movie franchise itself as a recicled media... this is a very postmodernist approach which makes sense considering the world of reboots we live in. Hope it really makes us think
Neo being a film director and the movie centering about the Media would be really probable, it would be coincident with Baudrillard's philosophy, specifically with "Simulacra and Simulation", book that inspired and in what The Matrix franchised is based. From a philosophical point of view, this option would be more explicit on what Baudrillard philosophy states, and it would be relevant to our postmodern times, in which media plays a central role on society. I really hope this movie takes a - more - semiotic approach to the topic.
I remember the goliath comic, the thing that is the most interesting about that to me is actually not that machines can alter human design but the fact that ALIENS exist in this story and in the real world no less.
I sprinted back here straight after watching the new trailer to tell you that I think you got some predictions right with this video and now I'm excited to see this movie when it hits theaters in my country.
I know the ‘what if the real world is a matrix’ stuff is old now but this theory really makes me think that it may be real and we’re in a reboot with all of this meta to keep us from the truth .
If the world were a simulation, it would have been coded differently. The technological capacity necessary to create such a thorough illusion would be so vast that it would be equally easy to simply make a "real" sandbox instead. Between the quantum, relativity, and the scale of the universe... it's simply impractical.
@@r3dp9 If we're in a simulation we can't possibly know what the real world looks like or how advanced its technology is, so it's silly to say that it would be impractical. It's basically a discussion of how powerful God is.
I wonder what MatPat's reaction was when he found out he was MOSTLY right. Neo isn't an actor in the movie, he's a game designer who designed "The Matrix" games, and Smith is reprogrammed to take the role of his business partner, not agent. Morpheus is now a code/program in the Matrix and Trinity wasn't cloned, she was revived. So what's your new theory about "The Matrix" now, MatPat?
This is a really impressive video! All MatPat had to work with was a few teasers with very little information about the plot. And yet despite having so little to work with, he *still* managed construct convincing arguments for what the movie will be about!
Watching the trailer, all I could feel was a reboot of the series, leaving on a cliff hanger. I didn't want to feel empty towards the new film like the force awakens. Matt Pat hit the nail on this one. I will be fascinated with how the writers are challenging viewers with their message though
MatPat: "How can I imply Morpheus is dead?" Me: Please don't mention "The Matrix Online". Surely, he won't bring up "The Matrix Online"- MatPat: "We'd have to look at "The Matrix Online"- Me: *AH-*
What gets me is how he kept bringing up the wachouski's like their so called seal of approval is something to value. This has been spread around a lot so you might already know this but in an early version of the Script the reason for the Matrix was they needed to use human brains as computers. But apparently the Wachouskis somehow thought that didn't make sense and though humans being Thermal batteries made more sense. Anyway I have absoutely no faith in them and fully beleive the Matrix movies were only ever good because of the rest of the staff that pulled the whole things together. So then signing off on something means very little IMO.
@@metazoxan2 I could be wrong but I thought it was the other way around. I heard that the Wachowskis wanted the original story to be that the machines were using humans for their processing power (Human brains as computers like you said) but the movie company thought they would lose to much of their audience because people didn't understand enough about processors and they just pitched energy as the reason which is really stupid
@@metazoxan2 i interpreted "thermal batteries" as a passable excuse used to hand wave away the truth and redirect attention, something the matrix would definitely do
Gotta say, I thought you were right.. Some things you got right, some you didn’t… But honestly, I loved the movie.. it’s so funny and like so on point.
The architect told neo that they gave him more capacity to love more than the other “ones”. This movie really is interesting given actors suffer from personality dysphoria. Some times they can’t tell the difference between the characters they play and reality.
My theory, the movie agent is just how the machines are trying to convince Neo that his memories from the previous three movies are just from a movie production he took part in as an actor when of course those events actually did take place. They can alter and redirect parts of memories but they can't completely wipe away their memories without killing the host (directly or indirectly by psychological trama).
That's what I was thinking but with a larger theory. What if the machines new experiment is to use a propagandized outlet WITHIN the Matrix to placate the need to rebel through this entertainment medium. It'd be a commentary on how media works IRL, how news and entertainment is used to placate us, keep us docile, under control, etc. But if we can live our fantasies of rebellion through media and entertainment, (like a cultural phenomenon like the Matrix movies in this new film), then maybe it'll be enough to keep us from actually "raging against the machine". I'm speaking from the POV of the people in this new iteration of the Matrix.
@@hoon_sol I know right. Hmm, let's say exactly what it says and pass it off as an original mind-blowing idea. In the comments section of the video no less. And this video isn't the first to come up with that part of the theory, haha
In the words of Yogurt "merchandising" though I would love the meta and jab at Disney and all their live action remakes, new Star Wars, and eventual Indiana Jones 5.
I think that they'd have to persuade Harrison Ford with a LOT of money to make a reappearance. He has a history of not liking to stay in an acting role for too long.
watching this after watching the movie so kinda spoilersish? anyway you've been warned! . . . . . Matt it's insane how much you got this right... even from just a few scraps from trailers... my hats off to you. cheers
It also could all be a simulation: in the first Matrix trilogy The Architect and The Oracle explained that the first versions of the Matrix failed because they created utopian worlds that failed because humans consciousness would fight that too perfect reality; so who's to say that at some point the machines din't engineer that whole Neo being the one and fighting back scenario (including the whole Zion city) to better control humans consciousnesses in the real Matrix; basically creating a simulation in a simulation.
That seemed to be what the ending of Reloaded implied. The "real" world seemed like another Matrix version. The Architect did state that the cycle of death and rebirth of Zion was another element of control. Neo broke the cycle when he chose Trinity. But it stands to reason that after he got rid of Smith (who had become a virus), the Machines would want to keep him under control again.
@@mish375 But what if all of it, the whole Matrix trilogy was part of the machine simulation; and maybe Smith and other hostile programs were put there to make that reality less simple; and Neo, Trinity, Morpheus and everybody else in Zion were in a simulation under the illusion of an escape out of the Matrix simulation, and were fighting an imaginary war(a well crafted deceptive scenario); all their brains were connected to the machine's hub(except for a few like Tank and Dozer and others, but their memories could've been manipulated to believe that), kinda hard to tell what's real or not, with a highly intelligent A.I in their brains messing with their perception of reality. Maybe the first trilogy was the illusion under the simulation.
@@pulsarecho1952 I think Smith was a real AI gone rogue because the Machines saw him as a virus infecting their systems. Remember, the Machines need the program and humans as much as the humans need them. I do think the end of Reloaded left the door open for the idea that the Zion world was in fact another Matrix inside of a Matrix. Given that the Wachowskis seem to like Buddhist philosophy and the cycle of rebirth (reincarnation), it wouldn't surprise me if the final awakening in the true real world is something only a few can attain. (Ie. Nirvana)
@@mish375 Smith could have still been real, but maybe he was playing the role given to him by his overlords. But wouldn't the final awakening be more meaningful by discovering a well hidden yet simple truth that awakens everybody in the Matrix.
@@mish375 I agree. How can Zion restart over and over again if it isn't in the matrix ? I think that is the real message of the matrix. It isn't real, none of it is. Life is an illusion. The sky isn't really blue, the sun isn't really Yellow and everything in this universe seems to be code (math) and put together like a computer program. I think one soon humanity will know the truth about our own reality.
Dude. The Matrix Online was a DOPE game. I played it when it first came out, and I was there when they literally shut down the servers, and everyone that was in game playing gathered in the main areas and we were all folded up and crushed like we were pieces of metal being crumbled into a ball.

The real theory = The world where you find Zion, is also the matrix.. Neo used his matrix powers to stop a charging machine in the "Real World". So the "Real world" is a previously failed matrix... Simulations within Simulations. They keep creating a new matrix to escape the last failed matrix...
Hollywood Agent: "Why return to the Matrix?" Neo: "Because Warner Bros. didn't exactly treat the DCEU right and that cow is being sent to the slaughterhouse."
The fact the machines know that a One will come every once in a while as a systematic anomaly, could mean, that it actually tries to keep Neo sedated and under control, a gun is dangerous, but if you keep it locked up and feeling cozy, there is risk that it will ever be picked and fired.
About that "monsters" part, in the Enter the Matrix videogame at the merovingian's chateau level you actually encounter vampires. The bad guys there are get by sunlight and the finishing moves change to woodstakes kills, also the boss' name is Vlad and he bites your neck so... yeah, definetly vampires.
My theory for the original trilogy is that EVERYONE is “The One” in the matrix. Everyone’s biggest dream is too ultimately be everyone’s savior. Everyone is in their own pod dreaming that they are saving everyone else and are the hero of the day
In the Neverending Story, ever notice how Atreyu happens upon a cave paintings of himself before he fights Gmork. How many times has he relived the same adventure? Does Artax give up because he's tired of repeating the story over and over? Make sense of it for me.

And the nothing is really nothing more than a metaphor for how redundant and pointless their journey actually is considering nothing they do matters, and how events constantly repeat itself.

Or maybe it's a continuation with enough soul to bring to the forefront to the masses the fact that most of the films today do exactly what you said, souless cash grabs of fantasy series'. It'll be punching the film industry right in the face, a well needed punch in the face. Rightly so. So much that the last really interesting movie that I saw was a Russian movie named Sputnik. Subtitles and all, really good compared to all these other series that need to die. I couldn't even continue watching F9, I just turned it off after 15-20 minutes.
a lot of people are dooming it, but I'm cautiously optimistic, Lana wachowski may only be a half but I feel that might just be enough, she's probably been sitting on how to continue the matrix for 20 years
The Last Jedi was received poorly because it subverted expectations in a way that made absolutely no sense given the context it was in. Challenging the audience is good. Disrespecting the story isn't.
I just realized the base code of the matrix is in Japanese script so does that mean Japan made the matrix with the highly advanced super computer software that the robots run off of
As a major Matrix fan, I really enjoyed this theory and all the explanations for it. The general idea makes sense and it wouldn't be a far cry to say that for a more modern age, they need a new twist or concept to utilise for these films. I'm quite excited!
it is kind of cool that this new "matrix" that the characters are in so much resembles the world we the audience lives in ; including the Matrix movies themselves. That's why there are differences in Trinities costume; there's what "really" happened which we saw in the first 3 movies and then there's the movies that are in this new matrix- they won't be identical.
I'm unsure about this theory because of when Trinity says "have we met?" in the trailer. Unless that's meant to spark something in Thomas/Neo, because it seems insane that she wouldn't remember him after they acted in a trilogy of movies together.
I was a mission designer for the Matrix Online (pre-launch). Here are some insider fun facts: 1) I was told there were heavy restrictions on what we could do with certain key characters (like Morpheus, Neo, and Trinity), which meant we often spent time and money modeling characters that we couldn't use outside of approved cinematics. Back then, asset creation was slower and harder than it is today, so I suggested we re-use our assets by creating a faction of machines with the ability to mimic/clone any human that appeared inside the Matrix. This way, players could interact with "Neo" in the Matrix - but as an AI clone, not the character himself. (I figured this would lead to interesting mystery plots since players couldn't be sure who they were talking to or hearing from.) People seemed excited by the idea, but I didn't stick around post-launch to see if the idea was ever used. Still, it seems to fit with your theory here. 2) According to some higher-ups, the Wachowski siblings had some big falling out with Morpheus's actor (Laurence Fishburne), therefore one of our character restrictions was that Morpheus had to be unceremoniously killed-off, downplayed, and retconned into a fanatic idiot who only found Neo by accident after being responsible for the deaths of other people he claimed were "The One". 3) Initially, mission designers had little-to-no guide as to the tone of the game. Some of us focused heavily on the philosophy aspect of the franchise, some leaned heavily into the "horror" concepts of vampires and werewolves, others pushed the hacker and revolution narrative, etc.. After a lot of pushing to get the higher-ups to "pick a (narrative) lane", they eventually decided to just pick the tone that had the most completed content...regardless of whether or not that fit the larger world/main stories. 4) The game's main story outline was created by a wonderful writer (Paul) who the Wachowski siblings picked because they loved his work on the Matrix comics. He's a great guy and clever writer, but told me he had never played a video game in his life - let alone an MMO - and it showed. He said we could change anything that wouldn't work for video games, but there was...a lot. (I remember one major plot arc had everyone in the Matrix realizing it wasn't "reality" and the sun was supposed to literally fall out of the sky and roll down the street inside the Martix. We were also supposed to destroy the Matrix at one point and have another one built or found or something...I don't remember exactly, it was almost 20 years ago. I just remember some stories would have required us to develop an enormous amount of assets in too short a timeframe to be feasible.) 5) The Matrix Online took years to create and was launched FOUR MONTHS after the launch of a brand new MMO called "World of Warcraft". Many devs spent their down time at work playing the WoW beta (and "Half-Life 2", which launched 2 weeks before WoW). It's never a good sign when your team spends more time playing the competition's game.
regarding the feud with the fishburn actor,do you think its legit or its just some gossips? i mean,laurence fishburn is just an actor.why did a feud with him would affect the character morpheus? i mean,its akin to you not liking superman for wearing underwear outside of your pants,and you decided to burn your original action comic #1

That’s too messy, too controversial and creates a bad rep, bad PR. They have to SAVE FACE!!!
Hey, nitpicking here, but you never came back to why Morpheus is younger and Carrie-Anne Moss is still Trinity. Neo's memories of them shouldn't have changed.
@@SubduedRadical He actually isnt that old and looks really good for his age, plus all the other actors have aged up too. All that was reported was Fishburne saying he was never contacted at all about reprising the role so it sounded like he would have been up for it too.

@@TheVino3 LoL and basically what it was which is why there probably won't be a sequel also surprisingly the movie was very "red pill" to be so "blue pill" irl
I was thinking that The Matrix and the "real world" with Zion and the machines that we saw in the first three films was just some other artificial, constructed reality, and that the real world is still out there somewhere. And that freeing Zion was just another layer of the Matrix to keep the humans placated from some bigger, grander threat. Who knows. Gonna be interested to see where it goes, since it pulls a lot from Buddhist mythology on the nature of life and reality. I actually like your idea way better.
@@fernandoferreira6293 Heck there is also the question of "What if traditional humanity is dead, and all that is left of them are a bunch of uploaded brainwaves stored on a computer somewhere...." I mean think about it, if humanity tried to cut the machines off from having electricity by blotting out the sun..... Well what do humans depend on for food? Plants, and creatures that eat plants.... The machines could probably run off of nuclear no problem and would be less vulnerable to issues relating to radiation poisoning.... Humanity screwed itself if the Animatrix is anything to go by.)
Yo Stephanie, I thought the same for the past 20 years. Neo used his matrix powers to stop a charging machine in the "Real World". So the "Real world" is a previously failed matrix... Simulations within Simulations. They keep creating a new matrix to escape the last failed matrix.
This movie doesn't change things actually just the perspective :) after all the spoon was given to Neo in both worlds and he was told remember what was said about it.

HAHAHA YES
It's ironic how the architect scene was almost universally hated when the movie came out, but it's so goddamn lore important and interesting.
I always thought it was interesting. A bit long winded, maybe, but it gave viewers a lot to think about concerning past iterations of the Matrix and the nature of whether Neo (or any of us for that matter) really has free will or not. I'm one of the few that loved Reloaded because of all the philosophical stuff. Revolutions bothered me though because all of that was virtually ignored.
When they finally do a last movie, they need to name it Matrix Revelations. They could do a lot philosophically there.
I was 13 when the sequel came out and absolutely loved that scene and still do. It's basically the entire matrix dictionary. Anything about the matrix you don't understand you just watch that scene.
It's a perfect example of challenging your audience (and unfortunately dividing them as well). I thought it was one of the greatest moments of the whole trilogy and stood everything up on its head. It gave the sequels meaning and purpose, and provided and intelligent explanation as to the existence of Neo and the entire resistance. I never understood the hate. I think some people just hate that the scene was too complex for them to understand, and just want to shut their brains off when they watch a movie. I hope the new one challenges us, takes risks, and pushes boundaries. Even if we have to watch it a couple of times to get our heads around it!
@@cameronmilligan I think people rejected it for 2 reasons. First the Architect's dialogue went over their heads and audiences don't like to be challenged. Second, they're uncomfortable with the idea that they might not have as much free will as they thought, which is what Neo realizes. Which is a great theme to explore. The sad part is that viewers want to feel comfortable. So they were divided.
@@mish375 don't forget they are uncomfortable with all other iterations of Neo giving into cooperation at that moment. It kind of kills the hero image. I know several people that hated it because of that

replace “video game” with “movie series” and suddenly this video went from being a theory to a whole prediction. i spent the first half of the movie screaming in my head “holy smokes MatPat was right”
No it was, and the movie wasn't too subtle that Lana didn't even want to make it but rather prevent WB from turning it into a huge franchise....which was successfully done since the film was terrible.
But Morpheus isn't a clone he's a program coded by Neo in the matrix, and someone else freed the new Morpheus from that code and into the new matrix. And neither is Trinity, Neo and Trinity have been "Repaired" so that the new matrix can funtion.

It makes a lot of sense to have the matrix movies embedded into the culture of the new matrix, both within the narrative context of the universe, and because the matrix actually IS iconic within our culture.
Yes it does
How cunning would it be to manipulate Neo into thinking his past memories were just creative script fodder? Is it to keep him under control so he doesn't use his abilities, willingly hand over whatever control he has to the machines, or to get him to do something in particular for them?
And lol@Agents being his literal Agent. XD
I can see this happening but then, what about when he's acting and trying to use the powers but accidentally actually activated then haha
Maybe they need him to fight the aliens. It is already a part of the canon so it isn’t completely out of left field for extraterrestrials to go after them.
@@GODOFAWSOMENESS1 it may be Canon, but most people like me didn't learn of it before this video. And even less folks since film theory isn't such a giant to be popular to the masses
@@HanmaHeiro Big Factz
Well technically the humans and machines are at peace so I think it's their way of reinserting an adult they need back into the matrix. It also fixes the problem of him looking for answers because he already has them and the matrix can finally be stable until a new antagonist decides to kick off. Maybe there are machine factions now as I doubt it's going to just be "The machines" again.
It's crazy how accurate MatPat was with this theory. Almost everything he said was true except for the one difference of it being a video game rather than a film series. I swear, this man either predicts an entire movie or just makes it fucking better
It would have made more sense if it was a movie instead of a game.
and also the part where Trinity is a clone
I thought both of them were clones because of the strawberry, I missed the part with neo's burned eyes. It would have made more sense that they were both clones.
@@Alkatross I know, right? Like where they play a "scene from your game" in a movie theater.
How? Trinity wasn't a clone, the analyst tells how hard it was to get the machine world to let him repair both of their bodies and Morpheus is a program apparently in some part written by Neo as part of his video game that even explains that he's based on part Morpheus and part Smith and we see him as one of those programs that can transition into the real world just the same as the one that's helping them decode the genome of a matrix strawberry and grow it for real. He was also in the Matrix with Trinity because it supposedly created more power. His boss was Smith but not seemingly as a check or balance as the analyst was and also Smith in his original form was destroyed at the end of the trilogy because the machines world couldn't co trol him and he had grown too powerful necessitating the alliance of New and the machines where Neo destroyed Smith in exchange for the salvation of Zion. There also was no Matrix movie in the movie, it was a trilogy of video games. This was pure conjecture that was at best 50/50 on what the actual movie presented.
See my theory is that it’s not a story about a new matrix, but instead PTSD. The idea being that he’s taking the blue pill to forget the events of the first trilogy. He’s hallucinating the events as if they’re happening again and the plot is him coming to grips with the idea that the world is free again.
I love this theory
That's what I thought when I first saw the trailer.
I wouldn't really be a fan of that.

I've always hated that theory. It's a detriment to the writing of the original trilogy. It creates a completely nonsensical unbelievable world concept where no matter what happens it could just be another level. Effectively nothing matters and nothing can be taken seriously, the stakes are gone. The Matrix being the only level is what drove the plot.
I’m surprised about this, you almost got everything right about the story, the meta, self awareness, the commentary about rebooting franchises. Great video!
The real theory = The real world where you find Zion, is also the matrix.. Neo used his matrix powers to stop a charging machine in the "Real World". So the "Real world" is a previously failed matrix... Simulations within Simulations.
@@ronsnow402 thats what i was thinking, and this running theme of "choice".

@@VikingGekz So when he awoke from the stasis pod he wasn't really in the material world? Is it just another layer of the matrix? This is my theory
@@michaelpapageorgious5053 it's not a theory, it's screenplay. They just told it directly, Morpheus was a programm
I've heard of this whole theory about Neo being an actor from The Matrix film series which happens to exist within the larger universe of The Matrix but thought it was a little silly and kind of meta just for the sake of being meta. But I can see how it can be used to provide a more meaningful meta-statement on the film industry. A lot of movies attempt to be "enlightened" by injecting some sociopolitical/philosophical commentary when in fact that same commentary is simply a way for the film industry to sell more tickets to audiences that consider themselves to be more "enlightened". The audience feels more intelligent and socially engaged by watching these supposedly more sophisticated films but a lot of them don't take the commentary to heart and simply experience it for the sake of entertainment rather than to actually change the world. A philosophically deep cinematic trilogy like The Matrix can be utilized to simply market towards more intellectually minded cinephiles who are in the end still trapped in their own Matrix, a system managed partly by the film industry that pacifies us by showing that they're aware of the injustices of the world so that we feel satisfied and don't truly attempt to change the system in the first place.....not that I necessarily believe in this meta-statement to begin with but it could be one aspect of the meta-narrative of the upcoming installment.

With the whole "needing humans as batteries" situation, it makes sense the whole cloning route, after all, it's not like the people in the matrix are getting busy in the real world to produce more batteries. Plus reencarnacion is canon in the very first movie, so cloning would be a way to "control" and "limit" the potential of the people who pose as a threat to the machines.
Wouldn't it be better to use almost anything as a battery? Like a potato, or a battery?
@@danielmcgillis270 I think the original idea for having all of the humans was actually to use them for CPU as opposed to a battery but in that decade they didn't think we'd understand CPU.
the brain’s storage capacity at 1 petabyte,
The only problem with that is that they seem to be "cloning" them as adults (that's not what cloning is...) whereas in the movies we've only ever seen the machines grow humans normally starting with babies.
Obviously the machines could create new babies with the same DNA (ACTUAL clones) or modified DNA, we can even do that today if we ignored ethics, which the machines obviously would.
Wasn't that scenario a second layer of the matrix for those who where unhappy with the first?

Matrix actually really resembles a book called “Labyrinth of reflections” published in 1997. It’s themes are quite similar, sometimes even identical, especially the ending. Props to the writer, he created a great book about VR-chat back in 1991.

@@BillyOnTH-cam it’s called “Labyrinth of reflections”. The book describes virtual spaces where you can work or socialise with other people. If you think about it, this book also predicted work from home.
Mattpatt, another thing about the Blue motif from the therapist and agent that seems more obvious is that they represent the Blue Pill of accepting the matrix as reality! They’re there to sedate Neo into believing that it was just a movie...

In Buddhism heaven land of pleasure is an illusion its prefect so nobody wants to leave. But real world is beyond it

One of my favorite parts in the original is when Neo has deja vu and Trinity asks him (in a very aggro way) "How much like the same cat? Was it the same cat?" So maybe the 'deja vu' of the similar scenes will be the clue that they changed something.

If he's the harmony then the machines have truly won the battle and devised a system that will continue to work until the end of time, but if he really is a flaw in the system then the humans have actually won since they created the machines who are producing the flaw and who cannot stop producing the flaw, leaving a continual opportunity for the liberation of human beings.
My problem with “challenging the audience” is that the last matrix movies already did that. There needs to be a greater purpose to “resurrect” this franchise…

The machines: "Let's clone a younger Morpheus and an older Trinity"
The machine is trying to use *super confusion* on Neo
I mean in universe it could just be explained that clone trinity has had more time to age than clone Morpheus since she died first. Does seem like kind of a weird choice though. Maybe they didn't have enough genetic information on hand to make a perfect Morpheus?
Or the Trinity we knew was the clone
Morpheus is a program. Trinity is alive. Just like Neo. You can see that when the scenes show them "splitting" and you can see their actual Matrix avatars that the Machines uploaded their consciousness to after Revolutions when they retrieved and repaired their bodies.

I feel like 90% of the questions about the new matrix movie is answered by one simple fact, even trinity being alive again and neo being reinserted into the matrix: the matrix was rebooted at the end of matrix 3, and it's already been said by the architect that neo is a "statistical anomaly" that occurs in every single version of the matrix, we even see the different versions of him talking to the architect on the tv screens. Neo is back and trinity is because they're in every single rebooted version of the matrix, it really is as simple as that. It's a weird kind of computer generated reincarnation. Hence, matrix resurrection.

He's name is keanu reeves just so you know
another nail to hang this theory on: Thomas Anderson clearly tried his hand at fantasy romance drama in the Lake House (2006) that he now has to fight Morpheus in
My theory? Remember the conversation Cypher had with the agent when he was talking about being put back into the Matrix? He said he wanted to be rich, really rich. An actor or somebody really famous. I think the agent and the AI within the Matrix decided that THAT must be the ultimate life that all people dream of living. When they put Neo back into the Matrix, that's exactly the life they gave him, the one they thought all people craved. Now, couple that with the idea that they will also give him back Trinity (real love) so that he can have a human's idea of a complete and fulfilling life, and BANG! They can keep him happy in the Matrix. Only... you know, they can't because he's The One. Always was and always will be. As for Morpheus? I think he's younger because Neo had him built. Neo can alter things within the Matrix. He knows in his subconscious that he will need a guide to get him back out of the Matrix. Just a theory. I think it's a great time to have a new Matrix movie come out. Look around. Everyone at least seems like they're walking around distracted and in the Matrix.
@Marko Polo So true!
@Tah BOO IDK if I'd say that. Much like the first Matrix, we're only trying to separate the what IF from the what IS. What are your opinions?
Matrix 4 is going to end with Neo realizing he's plugged into a different kind of Matrix, and after rebelling, is faced with the choice to continue living a lie in the Matrix itself, or face down an actual Alien Apocalypse vs Machine Apocalypse.
But The architect stated that "the perfect world was created" and it caused more problems than a more "common" society... reason why 20 century was replicated.
I think the idea behind that is that an open mind with no chaos/ society limits / superficial problems, may find easier the simulation problems, and thus realizing that it is in fact a lie... Something similar to "the trees dont let you see the forest"... Its easy to blame society/god/universe/luck when things have certain "chaos inherent"
About Cypher, Im still wondering to such extent Matrix Reintegration would be posible, its never stated if that could actually be possible or just another lie. We got in the movie Smith that stops following his script so his actions doesnt really show the original outcome for that (but we saw he overwrited totally Cypher) we are not sure if this "troyan horse" was just an Original smith move or something "the machines/matrix" would be doing anyways.

How incredibly immersive for us as an audience to potentially have seen perfect representations of their in universe pop culture in the form of movies we thought were for us but were actually for characters within this new matrix. We become the npcs of this matrix once again but in this completely meta, up to date way.
My Theory: The "Trinity" we're seeing in the trailer is really a program designed to think she's Trinity, or think like her so Neo has a companion and not want to leave the Matrix.
I like this theory. Trinity and Morpheus must have been played by different “actors” in this movie’s timeline because Neo didn’t recognize her in the coffee shop.
The only problem I have in this theory is we see them meet and ask "have we met?", implying that we are seeing theme meet - from their perspective - for the first time. That is, they aren't friends who hang out together all the time, which is what would be true if this Trinity was designed and in the Matrix to placate Neo.
That's the only problem I see with that theory. If the machines were going to make a "best friend" for you to placate you, why would they then NOT introduce you to each other? This Trinity appears to exist as just another person in the world, meaning she can't be there to placate Neo, per se. Or, if that was the intent, somehow she was introduced in the wrong part of the Matrix world and never met Neo until that point, right?
@@SubduedRadical what if she's the last ditch effort to keep him there.
@@ranwolf76 That could be true. But that would imply her introduction was recent and sort of an emergency thing, yeah?
@@SubduedRadical pretty much, unless it's a flash back
This is going to be a rare instance where the film theory is actually correct. Neo is definately involved in the Matrix movie (perhaps as an actor).
i feel like you already misunderstood the idea before the movie even released

Absolutely solid theory, makes sense all around. So Matrix 4 is going to be super meta about the movie franchise itself as a recicled media... this is a very postmodernist approach which makes sense considering the world of reboots we live in. Hope it really makes us think
the movie was very "red pill" to be so "blue pill" irl
Neo being a film director and the movie centering about the Media would be really probable, it would be coincident with Baudrillard's philosophy, specifically with "Simulacra and Simulation", book that inspired and in what The Matrix franchised is based. From a philosophical point of view, this option would be more explicit on what Baudrillard philosophy states, and it would be relevant to our postmodern times, in which media plays a central role on society. I really hope this movie takes a - more - semiotic approach to the topic.
I thought he was supposed to be a game industry upper echelon.
I remember the goliath comic, the thing that is the most interesting about that to me is actually not that machines can alter human design but the fact that ALIENS exist in this story and in the real world no less.
I still can't believe matpat isn't bragging about how he predicted that taskmaster would be a woman and the dragon in shang-chi
Uh? Everyone knew taskmaster was gonna be a nobody woman. Its Disney dude
there was dragon merch so that much was obvious, he was predicting that the rings would relate to the dragon
@@JulienJeagal so your saying he had proof

I sprinted back here straight after watching the new trailer to tell you that I think you got some predictions right with this video and now I'm excited to see this movie when it hits theaters in my country.
"Give the audience exactly what they want or challenge them and expectations"

What if he’s not the one. Or at least….not the ONLY one! 🤷🏾♂️
I know the ‘what if the real world is a matrix’ stuff is old now but this theory really makes me think that it may be real and we’re in a reboot with all of this meta to keep us from the truth .
If the world were a simulation, it would have been coded differently. The technological capacity necessary to create such a thorough illusion would be so vast that it would be equally easy to simply make a "real" sandbox instead. Between the quantum, relativity, and the scale of the universe... it's simply impractical.
@@r3dp9 If we're in a simulation we can't possibly know what the real world looks like or how advanced its technology is, so it's silly to say that it would be impractical. It's basically a discussion of how powerful God is.
@@r3dp9 if reality were a simulation the computer program would be your conscious experience, not the entirety of the physical universe
I wonder what MatPat's reaction was when he found out he was MOSTLY right. Neo isn't an actor in the movie, he's a game designer who designed "The Matrix" games, and Smith is reprogrammed to take the role of his business partner, not agent. Morpheus is now a code/program in the Matrix and Trinity wasn't cloned, she was revived.
So what's your new theory about "The Matrix" now, MatPat?
This is a really impressive video! All MatPat had to work with was a few teasers with very little information about the plot. And yet despite having so little to work with, he *still* managed construct convincing arguments for what the movie will be about!
Watching the trailer, all I could feel was a reboot of the series, leaving on a cliff hanger. I didn't want to feel empty towards the new film like the force awakens. Matt Pat hit the nail on this one. I will be fascinated with how the writers are challenging viewers with their message though
MatPat: "How can I imply Morpheus is dead?"
Me: Please don't mention "The Matrix Online". Surely, he won't bring up "The Matrix Online"-
MatPat: "We'd have to look at "The Matrix Online"-
Me: *AH-*
What gets me is how he kept bringing up the wachouski's like their so called seal of approval is something to value.
This has been spread around a lot so you might already know this but in an early version of the Script the reason for the Matrix was they needed to use human brains as computers. But apparently the Wachouskis somehow thought that didn't make sense and though humans being Thermal batteries made more sense.
Anyway I have absoutely no faith in them and fully beleive the Matrix movies were only ever good because of the rest of the staff that pulled the whole things together.
So then signing off on something means very little IMO.
@@metazoxan2 I could be wrong but I thought it was the other way around. I heard that the Wachowskis wanted the original story to be that the machines were using humans for their processing power (Human brains as computers like you said) but the movie company thought they would lose to much of their audience because people didn't understand enough about processors and they just pitched energy as the reason which is really stupid
@@iutavaimoso4034 you are correct
@@metazoxan2 i interpreted "thermal batteries" as a passable excuse used to hand wave away the truth and redirect attention, something the matrix would definitely do
Gotta say, I thought you were right..
Some things you got right, some you didn’t…
But honestly, I loved the movie.. it’s so funny and like so on point.
The architect told neo that they gave him more capacity to love more than the other “ones”. This movie really is interesting given actors suffer from personality dysphoria. Some times they can’t tell the difference between the characters they play and reality.
My theory, the movie agent is just how the machines are trying to convince Neo that his memories from the previous three movies are just from a movie production he took part in as an actor when of course those events actually did take place. They can alter and redirect parts of memories but they can't completely wipe away their memories without killing the host (directly or indirectly by psychological trama).
That's what I was thinking but with a larger theory. What if the machines new experiment is to use a propagandized outlet WITHIN the Matrix to placate the need to rebel through this entertainment medium. It'd be a commentary on how media works IRL, how news and entertainment is used to placate us, keep us docile, under control, etc. But if we can live our fantasies of rebellion through media and entertainment, (like a cultural phenomenon like the Matrix movies in this new film), then maybe it'll be enough to keep us from actually "raging against the machine". I'm speaking from the POV of the people in this new iteration of the Matrix.
That is...literally exactly what this video said.
@@hoon_sol I know right. Hmm, let's say exactly what it says and pass it off as an original mind-blowing idea. In the comments section of the video no less. And this video isn't the first to come up with that part of the theory, haha
It would be cool if Smith comes back too but now he's there to help Neo
Yep, trying to convince him he was a "method actor" and that's why it all feels like it was real lolz 🤣
In the words of Yogurt "merchandising" though I would love the meta and jab at Disney and all their live action remakes, new Star Wars, and eventual Indiana Jones 5.
I think that they'd have to persuade Harrison Ford with a LOT of money to make a reappearance. He has a history of not liking to stay in an acting role for too long.

It also could all be a simulation: in the first Matrix trilogy The Architect and The Oracle explained that the first versions of the Matrix failed because they created utopian worlds that failed because humans consciousness would fight that too perfect reality; so who's to say that at some point the machines din't engineer that whole Neo being the one and fighting back scenario (including the whole Zion city) to better control humans consciousnesses in the real Matrix; basically creating a simulation in a simulation.
That seemed to be what the ending of Reloaded implied. The "real" world seemed like another Matrix version. The Architect did state that the cycle of death and rebirth of Zion was another element of control. Neo broke the cycle when he chose Trinity. But it stands to reason that after he got rid of Smith (who had become a virus), the Machines would want to keep him under control again.
@@mish375 But what if all of it, the whole Matrix trilogy was part of the machine simulation; and maybe Smith and other hostile programs were put there to make that reality less simple; and Neo, Trinity, Morpheus and everybody else in Zion were in a simulation under the illusion of an escape out of the Matrix simulation, and were fighting an imaginary war(a well crafted deceptive scenario); all their brains were connected to the machine's hub(except for a few like Tank and Dozer and others, but their memories could've been manipulated to believe that), kinda hard to tell what's real or not, with a highly intelligent A.I in their brains messing with their perception of reality. Maybe the first trilogy was the illusion under the simulation.
@@pulsarecho1952 I think Smith was a real AI gone rogue because the Machines saw him as a virus infecting their systems. Remember, the Machines need the program and humans as much as the humans need them. I do think the end of Reloaded left the door open for the idea that the Zion world was in fact another Matrix inside of a Matrix. Given that the Wachowskis seem to like Buddhist philosophy and the cycle of rebirth (reincarnation), it wouldn't surprise me if the final awakening in the true real world is something only a few can attain. (Ie. Nirvana)
@@mish375 Smith could have still been real, but maybe he was playing the role given to him by his overlords. But wouldn't the final awakening be more meaningful by discovering a well hidden yet simple truth that awakens everybody in the Matrix.
@@mish375 I agree. How can Zion restart over and over again if it isn't in the matrix ?
I think that is the real message of the matrix. It isn't real, none of it is. Life is an illusion.
The sky isn't really blue, the sun isn't really Yellow and everything in this universe seems to be code (math) and put together like a computer program.
I think one soon humanity will know the truth about our own reality.
Honestly, this just helped me to feel genuinely excited for this movie.
Dude. The Matrix Online was a DOPE game. I played it when it first came out, and I was there when they literally shut down the servers, and everyone that was in game playing gathered in the main areas and we were all folded up and crushed like we were pieces of metal being crumbled into a ball.
Well... you were 25% right about clones... one of them is a clone... but it's not a clone.
So we went from "everything is the matrix" at the end of the first three movies to "nothing is the matrix" in this one.
Fun.

The real theory = The world where you find Zion, is also the matrix.. Neo used his matrix powers to stop a charging machine in the "Real World". So the "Real world" is a previously failed matrix... Simulations within Simulations. They keep creating a new matrix to escape the last failed matrix...
"explained"
@@ronsnow402 Where IS base zero!?
Hollywood Agent: "Why return to the Matrix?"
Neo: "Because Warner Bros. didn't exactly treat the DCEU right and that cow is being sent to the slaughterhouse."
The fact the machines know that a One will come every once in a while as a systematic anomaly, could mean, that it actually tries to keep Neo sedated and under control, a gun is dangerous, but if you keep it locked up and feeling cozy, there is risk that it will ever be picked and fired.
I just imagined a gun in a safe on a small bed with some pillows and blankets to keep it warm :P
About that "monsters" part, in the Enter the Matrix videogame at the merovingian's chateau level you actually encounter vampires. The bad guys there are get by sunlight and the finishing moves change to woodstakes kills, also the boss' name is Vlad and he bites your neck so... yeah, definetly vampires.
Honestly, after seeing all of the hidden details in the trailer it now all makes sense thanks Matpat!
My theory for the original trilogy is that EVERYONE is “The One” in the matrix. Everyone’s biggest dream is too ultimately be everyone’s savior. Everyone is in their own pod dreaming that they are saving everyone else and are the hero of the day

Could give a whole new meaning to the title "neverending story", as in it's an endless cycle that's repeated. And the nothing is really nothing more than a metaphor for how redundant and pointless their journey actually is considering nothing they do matters, and how events constantly repeat itself.
Oh my god, you guys! This makes so much sense! How have I never thought of that before?

Or maybe it's a continuation with enough soul to bring to the forefront to the masses the fact that most of the films today do exactly what you said, souless cash grabs of fantasy series'. It'll be punching the film industry right in the face, a well needed punch in the face. Rightly so. So much that the last really interesting movie that I saw was a Russian movie named Sputnik. Subtitles and all, really good compared to all these other series that need to die. I couldn't even continue watching F9, I just turned it off after 15-20 minutes.
a lot of people are dooming it, but I'm cautiously optimistic, Lana wachowski may only be a half but I feel that might just be enough, she's probably been sitting on how to continue the matrix for 20 years

it is kind of cool that this new "matrix" that the characters are in so much resembles the world we the audience lives in ; including the Matrix movies themselves. That's why there are differences in Trinities costume; there's what "really" happened which we saw in the first 3 movies and then there's the movies that are in this new matrix- they won't be identical.

I'm unsure about this theory because of when Trinity says "have we met?" in the trailer. Unless that's meant to spark something in Thomas/Neo, because it seems insane that she wouldn't remember him after they acted in a trilogy of movies together.
Unless they altered what she looked like in the movies they starred in together along with his memories, while giving her a new life entirely.

I'm Rick rolling link posters
I was a mission designer for the Matrix Online (pre-launch). Here are some insider fun facts:
1) I was told there were heavy restrictions on what we could do with certain key characters (like Morpheus, Neo, and Trinity), which meant we often spent time and money modeling characters that we couldn't use outside of approved cinematics. Back then, asset creation was slower and harder than it is today, so I suggested we re-use our assets by creating a faction of machines with the ability to mimic/clone any human that appeared inside the Matrix. This way, players could interact with "Neo" in the Matrix - but as an AI clone, not the character himself. (I figured this would lead to interesting mystery plots since players couldn't be sure who they were talking to or hearing from.) People seemed excited by the idea, but I didn't stick around post-launch to see if the idea was ever used. Still, it seems to fit with your theory here.
2) According to some higher-ups, the Wachowski siblings had some big falling out with Morpheus's actor (Laurence Fishburne), therefore one of our character restrictions was that Morpheus had to be unceremoniously killed-off, downplayed, and retconned into a fanatic idiot who only found Neo by accident after being responsible for the deaths of other people he claimed were "The One".
3) Initially, mission designers had little-to-no guide as to the tone of the game. Some of us focused heavily on the philosophy aspect of the franchise, some leaned heavily into the "horror" concepts of vampires and werewolves, others pushed the hacker and revolution narrative, etc.. After a lot of pushing to get the higher-ups to "pick a (narrative) lane", they eventually decided to just pick the tone that had the most completed content...regardless of whether or not that fit the larger world/main stories.
4) The game's main story outline was created by a wonderful writer (Paul) who the Wachowski siblings picked because they loved his work on the Matrix comics. He's a great guy and clever writer, but told me he had never played a video game in his life - let alone an MMO - and it showed. He said we could change anything that wouldn't work for video games, but there was...a lot. (I remember one major plot arc had everyone in the Matrix realizing it wasn't "reality" and the sun was supposed to literally fall out of the sky and roll down the street inside the Martix. We were also supposed to destroy the Matrix at one point and have another one built or found or something...I don't remember exactly, it was almost 20 years ago. I just remember some stories would have required us to develop an enormous amount of assets in too short a timeframe to be feasible.)
5) The Matrix Online took years to create and was launched FOUR MONTHS after the launch of a brand new MMO called "World of Warcraft". Many devs spent their down time at work playing the WoW beta (and "Half-Life 2", which launched 2 weeks before WoW). It's never a good sign when your team spends more time playing the competition's game.

Just because keanu reeves appears reserved, Shy or whatever in the public eye doesn’t mean he really is! Perception is not true reality.
Have you ever wondered why every single actor or artist always says the same thing when talking about someone else. In reference to working with a director or another actor why does everyone always say - “oh I loved working with Quentin Tarantino he’s an incredible director. I loved working with keanu reeves he’s such an amazing actor.
I loved working with Robert de Niro he’s an amazing actor. I learned so much from working with Christopher Nolan he’s a brilliant visionary.
I’m so excited to be working with marvel studios and to be given this opportunity
To work on a comicbook film.”
Blah blah blah it’s called - “selling, marketing,”
Standard tactics to create an illusion of something or someone in order for you as a consumer to buy their product.
Everything you see on T.V. Is a facade even the news.
So if fishburne had a falling out with the wacowski’s then it’s probably true.
Although neither party would dare to admit because one of them is promoting their new movie in a few months and the other would have to prove his words, should he ever confess that such a falling out is the reason he’s not in the new movie.
That’s too messy, too controversial and creates a bad rep, bad PR.

Really good work Matt. All of the work you put into this video really paid off as it shows how close you really were.
Hey, nitpicking here, but you never came back to why Morpheus is younger and Carrie-Anne Moss is still Trinity. Neo's memories of them shouldn't have changed.

And that freeing Zion was just another layer of the Matrix to keep the humans placated from some bigger, grander threat. Who knows. Gonna be interested to see where it goes, since it pulls a lot from Buddhist mythology on the nature of life and reality. I actually like your idea way better.

I initially thought of a matrix within a matrix but that's already been debunked unfortunately
Yo Stephanie, I thought the same for the past 20 years. Neo used his matrix powers to stop a charging machine in the "Real World". So the "Real world" is a previously failed matrix... Simulations within Simulations. They keep creating a new matrix to escape the last failed matrix.
