      I think Nick understands it well enough. Adam too (allegory of the cave).
      He's just against this forced narrativization of art, even when done by the original creators 20 years later. Part of the reason it was so popular is because it meant so many things to so many people. Creators coming out and saying "screw your perspective, here's the only true one" is just slapping the audience in the face. It is a valid one for them and many others, but it is just one of the many.

Those themes weren't accidental. They might not have been intentionally making a trans movie, but they were making a movie about not being your true self, and how to get there.

She retconned the sexuality of several key characters that had no indication of being other than what they already were, to please sjw fans.

      Difference is that with Harry Potter she was changing an entire characters story and characteristics. With this, the Wachowskis are just saying that the movie can be read through a trans lens. Looking at the difference between how you perceive yourself inside and in reality, as well as the use of pills to reach your true body, a lot of stuff can be read as a trans allegory. That doesn’t mean Neo and Morpheus are all trans, it just means that the story and the trans experience share some elements.

    They stole it from Heavy Metal magazines and scifi manga comics and Ghost in The Shell of course. The first Matrix movie was cool at the time, but the Wachowskis and wankers and the lack of substance in the sequels all reflected the artists inability to maintain their universe. The sequel fell apart right at the "rave" scene in Zion. Laurence Fishburnes head had increased in mass from alcoholism by atleast 20% in the sequel awkwardly taking up the frame, the whole cast and crew were partying so much from the success of the first film the following films went to shit and everyone cut their dicks off. Agent Smith is marginally salvageable as far as character development over the 3 films. Neo just floats off on a hospital stretcher pretending to be a blind shaolin monk imagery, blah I was glad it was over and have no interest in the 4th. Animatrix was a nice piece of art, enjoy kids.

      Inspiration and stealing are very different terms, just because you didn't like it doesn't mean the premise of the movie is stolen. Wachowskis and the creators of the aforementioend animes got together and even shared a mutual respect for the genre so your argument that its stolen is retardation to the highest degree. It is completely common and not at all foreign for artists to get together and geek out over each others works, as it expands the universe of the genre, bringing more fans in. Also the primary inspiration for The Matrix was The Neuromancer which discusses the concept of a virtually accessible cyberspace known as "the Matrix".
      The series also grossed over a billion dollars, the sequel to the first one being the most financially successful one. If that's a failure to you, then you have a retarded view of what failure is. Your argument is about as dry as your wife's pussy.

    I agree with Nick here actually. Sure, it's undeniable that the wachowski sisters would had the trans-experience in mind, but it's only been explicitly connected to it only after the sisters came out. The film is generally about living in some kind of false society/consciousness and overcoming/waking from. It's too broad to say that it's specifically about being trans.
    Also, I disagree with Stavros, once the artist had put the art out into the world, they to become just another a secondary interpreter of that art
