The Matrix had the potential of being one of the greatest franchises of all time, what went so wrong?

>using the word, "franchise" to describe a series of films

Tried to thieve too much stuff into one instead of just making a Neuromancer movie

according to a lot of people, such as myself, nothing went wrong.

i still feel that the trilogy is brilliant. the second film has the best car chase sequence of all time

>The Matrix had the potential of being one of the greatest franchises of all time

What? No it didn't. It's a perfect one-off movie.

Second Renaissance could have made for a pretty killer prequel, but anything taking place after the first movie makes no sense and actively detracts from it.

>what went so wrong?

It was made by mentally ill trannies who were deeply involved with the satanic occult.

It never had much potential. The original The Matrix is so good because the Wachowski brothers stole a ton of good ideas and threw them in a blender. The sequels are so terrible because with those they had to come up with original ideas.

yet another jesus story

>they had to come up with original ideas.
and then realized they couldn't so they copied some pseudophilosophy nonsense

It could have been a great videogame, tv and book franchise. The Matrix world could fit in loads of stories.

The first movie was extremity tight. Each scene was bare bones and cool.

Once the first movie blew up they got full of themselves and started including all sorts of bullshit that just distracted from the story and the action.

1st film was absolutely top notch in every respect. The part where Neo touches the mirror and it sticks to his hand is so fucking cool. The part where Morpheus tells Neo about the Matrix and you can hear the eery thunder. I actually enjoyed the second one as much as the first so to me its also very high up there. Has some interesting characters like the Merovingian and the totally awesome highway scene. The third one is so bad I don't even want to consider it part of the original trilogy. Its too much CGI, tries to overdo everything that was good about the first 2 films and just ends up ruining everything. Basically most franchises go to shit. Just look at Resident Evil.

Resident Evil was so fucking good then they just said "We've done as much as we can with this concept now we're doing action games" at least RE4 was a great game (even if it wa sa bad resident evil game)

Animatrix was pretty cool.

NEO IS FUCKING MORPHEUS

A bit gay desu

>brown eyes

DROPPED

The sequels ignored the strongest theme in the movie (the matrix) and made it about bonkers philosophy and sci-fi technobabble

Best chase scene ever desu senpai
