    The Matrix being predicated on a climate disaster is also entirely lost, along with nonconformity in general.

        I don’t agree with this take at all. Agent Smith was definitely evil, the machines were victims of capitalist exploitation, which they just turned right around on humanity once they took charge.

        I suppose that point is mostly explored in the sequels though.

          Animatrix goes into this concept pretty in depth. Don’t know if that is considered fanfiction or correct Matrix lore.
