I saw this movie, and I have no faith we have a real-world Neo to save us from it.
Shit, let me take the Cypher route. Let me live in the matrix and eat steak in classy restaurants.
Edit: I wrote this to be funny, but it came across as genuinely pissy and makes me look crazy. Leaving it for posterity, but it's meant as a joke.
Fuck you mean "save?" Please, for the love of all that is holy, don't take the matrix from us! Let us have a matrix, we can all live in there and not worry about the climate or the gas clouds. Heck, I'm pretty sure they can just reincarnate us when we die, so we never even have to lose our family members. The machines were doing us a kindness and Neo came along and fucked it all up. I'll take my 1999 existence over the shit show of the truth any day.
And that's without even going into the fact that I fully believe Agent Smith lied when he told Morpheus that the matrix couldn't be a paradise. Smith is an unreliable narrator at best.
