    Morpheus died in the Matrix mmo shortly before it ended. The Wachowskis consider the game to be cannon so there’s nothing to be done. It’s not some conspiracy against Fishburne and I don’t know why outlets refuse to include that info

      From the article:

      However, there could be a fairly simple explanation there: Morpheus dies in the MMO game The Matrix Online. That specific event in the game is considered canon because the writer-directors, the Wachowskis, gave their approval to the game.

    They are developing a new matrix movie?

    I watched The Matrix Resurrections at home and I gave up halfway through, still haven’t finished it. There were some cool scenes in the early part of the movie that were almost breaking the fourth wall and seemed to pick up the spirit of the introductory scenes in The Matrix (I wish those cyberpunk/dystopian elements were expanded in the original), but Resurrections quickly started to go down the drain after that.

      I watched it. The plot really only served as an extended middle finger to Warner Bros. After I finished it, I just thought, what a waste. It had promise, but it didn’t try anything new or expand the world in any way.

      To me, it suffered the same issue that all reboots have (Jurassic World, Rise of Skywalkwer, etc.). They don’t attempt a new plot and instead try to rehash the original plot but “bigger”, this makes it boring really quick as you know what’s going on, so instead they rely on nostalgia bait or jump tactics to try to keep you engaged.
