The Matrix/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[God Mode Sue]]:

** Neo in the sequels. Most of the drama comes from him [[Break the Game Breaker|not being around to save the day]]. The Watchowskis did try to avert this ("Only human" is basically [[Phrase Catcher|Neo's enemies' catchphrase]]), but he's still very, very powerful.

* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]:

** Jada Pinkett Smith playing a key role in the sequels after her husband turned down the role of Neo.

* [[Hype Backlash]]: The first one was so beloved that everyone got pumped up for the sequels, everything was hyped to hell and back... and when ''Reloaded'' came up, it made loads of cash but left many disappointed. (so much that ''Revolutions'' couldn't even match the first film's box office!)

* [[I Am Not Shazam]]: Viewers tend to refer to Smith as "Agent Smith" throughout all three movies; he's not an Agent in the sequels, he's just "Smith."

* [[Special Effect Failure]]: In ''Reloaded'' during the freeway chase, a car flips over in slow-motion and the interior [http://i.imgur.com/KlABd.jpg stunt-rigging and roll cage are clearly visible] through the door as it flies open.

* [[The Scrappy]]: Take your pick: Mouse, [[Plucky Comic Relief|Link]], [[French Jerk|the Merovingian]], [[Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness|the Architect]]...

* [[Unfortunate Implications]]:

** As Morpheus explains, as long as humans are plugged into the Matrix, they are potential enemies who can be taken over at any moment by an Agent. Nevertheless, the sheer casual indifference with which every hero slaughters their way through what are, at best, [[Punch Clock Villain|Punch Clock Villains]]... and often enough simple bystanders who got too close to a given battle... can still raise some eyebrows.

** Their justification that [[With Us or Against Us|anyone who isn't actively supporting them is the enemy]] is, in essence, the philosophy of every terrorist organization.

** As a result of the previously mentioned Matrix/Columbine association, kids who wear black trenchcoats sometimes are suspected of planning to blow up their school, even if they have zero intention to do so.
