But watch and sleep after it at your own risk. 
I watched this one, better than I expected! 
Yeah,
not like some usual jumpscare horrors…
But don’t forget to stay tuned. Season 3 this summer! (most probably)
Oh, there’s a season 2? Watched it on Netflix and they only have season 1 so far in my country at least…
Things I first saw as weaknesses in the plot was actually the point of it.
Also, refreshing that even the most spoilt, self absorbed person can have important things to bring to the table. 
Yeah, for quite some time already. Go find it somewhere and watch it! :D
Yeah, I guess everyone has some evolution and potential, even tho may not be clear from first sight, lol.
@Hauru I have always liked the female lead, quite an entertaining xianxia (soulful OST too 
), with engaging plot made me finish all 39 eps in 2days lol.
Now on to 
I plan to watch this too 
I sort of enjoyed season 1 more than season 2, but it’s a good one
Always a pleasure I actually rewatch it once a year it’s soo damn good
True but the guy who played Carrera was outstanding
Currently watched Ripley w Andrew Scott and re-watched Fleabag where he also stars in Season 2, both awesome shows
Waiting for new The Boys, The Last of Us, and season 1 of Fallout lol
Fallout it’s a love letter to the game! It’s really really good
Not 100% unfair, but it depends on perspective.
Because the armors stop things going too fast like bullet, but won’t stop slow things like knife.
Otherwise it would stop air, water food.
Also same as Star Wars, you can stab people in the back with a cloack and dagger attitude or nuke them. But you lose 1 millions nuances and development. It’s about bravery, mastery, fair competition, nobility. That the best true leader wins. Earning it and showing to yourself and everyone else what you are made of. A high stake situation like a fight can tell you everything you need to know about someone. Their impulsivity or clamness, their creativity, brute force, perseverance like Rocky Balboa and more in every move and stare.
Stories are about characters and their culture, environment says a lot about them as a people with a common cultural and ethnic background. There character as a people, the external circumstances that shape the hero.
It was not always a desert planet and it won’t stay a desert planet.
Also there is food, micro-organism etc.
They have water underground but it’s sacred to them, they are not allowed to use it, it’s meant to terraform the planet. They filter their own body fluids instead and it works for them.
There’s such a thing as economics involved.
That’s like walking in New-york and being like: “New-yorkers have cars, concrete building, electronics, but no factories… what the hell ?”
Yeah, I mean, we have computers because tha’s our stage of development, but now we’re moving to smartphones and ultimately we’re going into embedded computing into everything. Smart lamps, smart cars, Smart bottles, smart pillows, smart doors. We won’t need computers per say. But they do have the ability to enjoy media with holographic tech and more.
It’s not only the norm throughout human history, it’s also the most stable form of governance. It’s the natural state of order, societies naturally gravitate toward this system.
Power is the tool that will grant them independence, self-determination and freedom.
They did explain though, it’s a psychoenhancing substance important to the
The rest is an artistic choice.
Not the best movies ever and it’s a very very complicated story to tell.
The symbolism, archetypes didn’t resonate with your subconscious that’s all.
Buy yo,
It’s not even as dumb as the Matrix, John Wick and 90% of movies.
The Matrix was a great movie, but you can’t forget that you’re watching a movie because it makes no freaking sense at all. It’s just cool and things just happen for the plot to move forward, layered with symbolism that’s more your alley since it’s subconscious stuff.
Humans as batteries ???
WHAT ?
That’s gotta be one of the dumbest idea ever in science fiction, in movie and book history.
Alos lots of plot holes.
The pods, the agents. It’s camouflaged under cool leather jackets and bullet time kung fu, but without it it’s a long string of farfetched whacky, inaccurate, improbable and convoluted stuff sprinkled with heavy foundational philosophy. They give you speeches and “logic”… just… WHAT ???
Kung Fu in a simulated world works better than machine guns ?
And it’s an awesome movie trilogy, it just make no sense if you look at it logically. Then it’s just a lame premise and plot made by people who don’t understand computers, AI etc.
Actually, there is a debate in filmaking and screenwriting right now. Some people want to leave some ambiguity and not tell or show the audience everything to let you kinda soak it in and process it, to make it feel more like reality where we don’t have all the answers.
Some people see it as 100% flawed writing that doesn’t add up.
It depends on people.
I feel like you have a general issue with a constrained worldview.
Also, about that water thing.
I lived in a place with kinda big oil reserves, people refused to destroy the nature and relocate. People could have gotten nice checks. But it was their land not big oil land.
So, it happens in our reality already. Which the show doesn’t even try to pretend it’s set-in.
Also, it’s made clear that Arrakis is this far away border land, like the desert far away. Talking about tech and economics. They aren’t a super rich colony bringing water from anywhere. There have monster sand worms (who make the spice), it’s not a Hilton Resort. It’s a POS spice mining colony, not even the protagonists wanted to go there, they made it clear in the first movie.
Arrakis= backward spice mining desert
Giedi prime= industrial factory zone
And if you go closer to the center of the empire, you’ll see some laboratory and experimental science.
It’s a huge Galactic empire. They started on this beautiful paradise of a planet where everyone loved them. The protagonist are sent to this crappy planet on the edge of the empire to fail.
It’s a common office politics/ diplomatic scheme.
It’s been shown in the movies.
Beats inception though lol
Also a cool movie.
I don’t think that The Matrix was too bad, most of its ideas are from a world that a lot of people don’t think about any more. It was released in 1999, which means it was drawing from a range of different cultural millieus that were present before that timeframe, but only accessed by small groups of people who were interested in it.
And, on that point, there is a lot of overlap with weird sources that show up in Terence McKenna’s library as well— a bunch of different subcultures and countercultural things that had been brewing in the decades since the 60’s.
The Matrix is like a collage of all that different stuff, mashed up to match the zeitgeist of that era at the approach of Y2K.
I don’t think that the battery idea is necessarily bad, though. The Matrix was mostly allegory—highly disorganized, but highly allerogorical. Before we acquired a large range of electronic devices, the Mainspring was the metaphor that was used in discourse. And so, the idea wasn’t to get hung up on the specific mechanism of things but to (instead) pick up the general idea. Humans didn’t necessarily supply electricity, they were just the “force that makes things go”.
The Matrix, as a movie, drew heavily upon the different philosophers of media, semiotics, and the hyper-reality of symbols. And, in many ways, the human being was the battery simply because they continued to engage with the man-made aspects of reality rather than the natural world.
This was Jean Baudrillard’s critique of The Matrix. It had his ideas, and could even potentially lead people to some of his own philosophical points. But, sadly, people continue to engage with media rather than reality. And, even worse, some call the reality of the world itself into question lol. As it goes, the Real World is even more of a desert now than it was in Baudrillard’s time, so I guess he wasn’t wrong in his crituque.
Awwww 
I saw it it’s awesome 🩷love it
That’s my point.
It’s not about the realism or logic. We enjoyed the characters, nuances and philosophy of the Matrix and many other movies.
Can’t tell you how many times I watched it on VHS alone.
But… it’s pretty dumb on many levels scientific and plot logic levels.
It just is.
It doesn’t detract from the fact that it’s smart in other ways. We’ve been open to it and its artistic visions.
Though there still were many people who thought it was stupid and far fetched from day one. They have good reasons to think that but they didn’t give it a chance.
If it was about logic and realism, every movie would be jsut as boring as real life. We want some fantasy.
Yeah, otherwise we would just watch documentaries.
I Agree on this part, Movies are (for) Entertainment - however, your cup of coffee might not be what others like, etc., thus a huge potential for different adaptations of the same themes or even historical events, the recipees are endless 
(since the audiance is diverse, with different tastes).
But, yeah, going back to your point, the soundtrack is very important, the hero needs it, the fictional events and worlds need it, or rather we need it.
Long Live Fiction and Entertainment and Fantasy!
The thing is that people used to do that before Matrix.
The Indians, the Ancient Greeks, Christians or Gnostics, they all considered this world Illusory, although with different beliefs and views on the transcendental.
I view modern Matrix theories as just a modern version of what was already there, the idea that there’s more than what we perceive through our senses or even the idea thst this world is an illusion.
Well, in order to remain fully functional, I had to ignore solipsism and any modern matrix or matrix like theory.
I truly was a guy and in a way I still am, who taught of many many possibilities, but I didn’t dwell on them, or couldn’t, if I wanted to remain healthy.
