Why did no one complain about "pushing diversity" in

>>82758917
Because the Wazchovski brothers were still the Wazchovski brothers. It were simpler times anon

Who knows what /tv/ would have been like in 1999.

Probably the same though.

>>82758917
It was a original movie, unlike Force Awakens. Also, a black guy isn't pushing diversity, faggot.

because nobody gave a fuck about """diversity""" back then

>>82759092

>>82759062

This. If this movie would have been release today /tv/ would be throwing a tantrum over it, they would call it reddit, and make a ton of forced shitty memes.

>>82759034

Larry at the time was acting very feminine, would wear women's earrings and make up.

>>82758917
>Why did no one complain about "pushing diversity" in The Matrix? It's not much different from The Force Awakens for instance.
Because everything they wanted to do didn't happen. They originally wanted Neo to be played by Will Smith. Keanu was relatable to white people and so the movie was a success. If it had been all evil white dudes being beat up by a bunch of brown people it'd of flopped hard. That's what the trannies wanted but they didn't get it.

>>82758917
Reminder that Reloaded and Revolutions are great films

>>82758917
Because "race realism" didn't get mainstream appeal on the internet until GG. Now literally everything is white genocide.

Because in 1999 the West wasn't obsessed with identity politics. I don't know how this cancerous shit got WORSE after the US have had a black president

>>82759480
Reloaded is good except for the cringe cave party scene, revolutions is awful

The Wachowskis have always been really annoying with muh equality

>>82758917
because it's not diversity for diversity's sake. they didn't pat themselves on the back for doing it. paying to watch it wasn't pushed as activism by corporate shills. more to the point, there was no apparent agenda behind it, or at least they were a lot more subtle

yeah, it's true that /tv/ now can't see anything with a black person in without crying, but they brought it on themselves in a way

>>82759362
>If this movie would have been release today /tv/ would be throwing a tantrum over it, they would call it reddit, and make a ton of forced shitty memes.
this is very true and pretty sad

>>82759582
It was only subtle because the studio forced them to be subtle. They wanted to push the trans shit way more with Switch but were forced to dial it back. They also wanted the original casting to be all brown people vs evil white people. You can actually still sort of see that in what we got if you look closely. All the villains are white. All the heroes are mostly brown, PoC and LGBTQ. The few white guys who WERE good guys were either queer or traitors who ended up becoming villains or have their mind taken over by villains. Then the few left after that were weak limp wrist faggots.

Aside from Neo and Trinity there are no strong whites. Keanu isn't all white himself though and he was originally supposed to be played by a black man like Will Smith who refused the role. Trinity was the only character who was meant to be a strong white in the entire fucking thing and she's female.

>>82759092
>TFA is a ripoff of New Hope
Every single star wars movie is a ripoff of New Hope

>>82758917
Because nobody gave a fuck about the ideas of white supremacists back then
Now, any non-white cast as a lead is "OMG WHITE GENOCIDE!!!1!!one!1!!!"

>Rewatch The Matrix recently

>>82759911
this
The Matrix is a shit movie that edgelords fell in love with

>>82758917
I personally couldn't imagine anyone else as Morpheus. They wrote a character and he (an established actor) fit the bill. He's now iconic in that role.

To use your example, it's clear with Star Wars that they write intentionally bland, generic characters that any actor could feasibly play, and then work out the cast according to their quota. That's the difference.

No one's going to remember Boyega as Black Man, or Ridley as Girl Hero in 20 years time.

>>82759911
>>82759941
bullcrap

the first one is great

>>82759362
If the matrix had come out in 2017 it WOULD have been fucking Reddit

>>82758917
Because this was back when people just enjoyed movies and didn't waste time obsessing over the skin color of the main characters.

>>82760001
>To use your example, it's clear with Star Wars that they write intentionally bland, generic characters that any actor could feasibly play,
If any actor could fill the role, why does it being a black person matter?

>>82759731
Well I was weirded out by how there were actually few white characters in Zion, but I still enjoyed the films back then

>>82760123
notice that everyone that's in the simulated world (the Matrix) is white while almost everyone in Zion is brown

>>82758917
Are you under the impression that there was universal praise for the sweaty, ethnic rave scene in Reloaded?

>>82760005
No it wasn't.

>>82760221
So Zionists are a bunch of niggers dependent on technology siphoning out the life of white people

>>82759911
The CGI didn't age well -which is very visible on Reloaded in the Smith fight in the park- but overall the movies look fine.

I don't know how you could read that and think my problem is the black actor, and not the generic character. The problem is that they decide they need a nondescript black character to fill their quota, instead of actually writing compelling characters and then finding suitable actors. It would be just as bad if their quota was to have a 100% white cast, if being white was the only notable thing about each character.

>>82760005
Although the first matrix was great its funny watching it again and seeing just how low budget it is.

The main actors cant act, the minor actors are acting their hearts out and all the props look cheap and flimsy. I especialy love when some is supposed to press an enter button on a key board in a dramatic way and instead just mashes the keyboard with his palm.

I rewatched the trilogy to a friend who didn't know about it some time ago, he liked Revolutions the most but mostly because it focused way less on Neo and more on the war on Zion and Smith, which is what he liked the most. I find much people don't like Neo. Now I wonder how the reaction would be if he was black instead.

i'll take "what is bait?" for 100 alex

the difference is that there seemed to be the board at disney had pushed for more diversity for marketing purposes (virtue signal) and maximize demographic appeal to get more $$$

Lucas did this to a less extent with Sammy Jackson in Mace Windu's role, since he was terribly miscast to play a stoic jedi.. instead of getting morgan freeman, he got sammy jackson since he had the most box office draw (since pulp fiction) among demographic (and not for just for the 'urban' market, but the 18-25 group who loved pulp) - but its a little less bad because he atleast was trying something new, disney is trying to pull nostalgia

>>82760304

I only watched the sequels a year and a half ago, after having seen the original for the first time like 15 years ago.

They obviously didn't live up to the hype, but they weren't 'ZOMG WORST MOVEES EVER'

Reloaded just seemed to be a competitor pointless movie. Other than the architect scene it contained nothing that couldn't easily have been in revolutions.

Like Will Smith, Laurence Fishburne is not considered black

Because they choose to fill the roles by quota...

Like I said, the roles themselves are generic as shit. If they just picked actors out of a hat, which they easily could without anyone batting an eye, the chances of ending up with a woman and a black man as the two main protagonists are pretty slim.

Again, you're going on a weird tangent about something I haven't said. I'm not saying their generic character should be white, I'm saying that they shouldn't be writing generic characters in the first place. In lieu of selling a compelling story or interesting characters, they're selling diversity instead. It's lazy and boring.

It would be the same thing if they sat in a room and decided, actually, the best thing for marketing is to make everyone white, and then made the fact that the characters are white the selling point without bothering to write good characters.

And I'd agree it was minor to the point of being unnoticeable in the first Matrix movie but it really grew in scope as the franchise continued.

>>82760947
You are american, am I right?

>>82758917
Because it's a new creation, so it can be what it wants.

When Black people are put as White people in stories where we know the character is always White that's annoying. It would be like making a Bruce Lee movie starring a White guy as Bruce.

Well, what exactly does he bring to the table that you won't find anywhere else? Charismatic is such a vague descriptor that is applied to every other actor. You're really only furthering the argument that the reason he was chosen over all those other actors is race.

And in a way that's just fine, because like all those other actors he plays the role just great. If anything he's underused in it, because it is (by design) not at all demanding of anything unique in an actor.

The marketing team.

I don't understand the question. A black guy and a girl were the leads.

"This movie will be successful if we market it to the right demographics. Characters and story don't matter. Just write two generic leads, we'll get a random young woman and random young minority in there. The role doesn't require anything more specific."

vs.

"This movie will be successful because it is well-written with interesting characters, and actors cast according to the need of each individual role."

>What fucking timeline...
The same fucking simulacra as you,damn memer.

Also that picture of yours depicts niggers as being feral and savage cavelords in the entire movie, totally opposite to your stupid blacked narrative of smart and sophisticated black men's society vanishing whites, If any that makes Wachosky """"""brothers""""" the most racist and predjuicial people towards browns and nigger people overall.

At least get your damn cognitive dissonance straight.

That makes no sense. The marketing of this film had no overt racial signals.

>"This movie will be successful if we market it to the right demographics. Characters and story don't matter. Just write two generic leads, we'll get a random young woman and random young minority in there. The role doesn't require anything more specific."

That's not what happened at all. You're making up a scenario in your head.

>"This movie will be successful because it is well-written with interesting characters, and actors cast according to the need of each individual role."
This is a valid gripe, the characters were not interesting for the most part. And the actors were cast according to the need of each individual role, because as you stated, literally anybody could fill the roles because they were so bland.

I don't see why if you're main concern was the boring characters, that you state anyone can play, you have to invent some scenario where them casting a black guy and a girl as the leads is some conspiracy to keep the white man down

There's nothing invented, and I don't know what this thing about keeping the white man down is, either. It has no effect on "the white man," I'm just seeing through their attempts to market to other people.

If we can both agree that the roles are bland enough that any actor can play them, surely the chances of a "minority" randomly being selected as the lead are slim, no?

When I see Morpheus played by Laurence Fishbourne, I think, hey, that makes sense. When I see John Boyega as Finn, I think, well, sure he's fine but anyone could have played the role, so what else would be their motivation for hiring this particular actor over thousands of others?

In the 90s, both guys and girls liked confident female characters and other "SJW shit"
During the 00s, after 9/11, all media got more conservative. I'm sure you all noticed that media in the 00s really wasn't nearly as FUN as it was in the 90s or 80s. Muh realism. Muh brown and bloom srs gritty. But now people are ready for less conservative media again.
Problem is nowadays there's a whole lot of young people who grew up in the conservative years and never experienced those fun decades, and to them, this rise of "the liberal menace" is a threat, something scary and new, something that will ruin all "their" games, TV shows, and movies. The majority of active anti-SJWs are actually under 20.

Don't forget, there are people on 4chan who genuinely seem to think that there was no media ever made that appealed to liberals before tumblr showed up. How they'd react to older Star Trek episodes, I'd love to know.

>>82758917
There wasn't any pushing. They never made a big deal about anyone being black or female. These characters just were.

And they were actual characters. They had flaws. They weren't trying to be some caricature smug Dear White People cast member or some Force Awakens Mary Sue.

Hey, faggot

The Wachowskis themselves intentionally put plot elements in the series from a book from 1940 claiming that all black violence against whites was justified

How much Internet racist shitposting was going on in 1940, huh

You'd think the Matrix being released today would just infuriate liberals, not /pol/.

First movie was ground breaking.

The second and third were absolute propaganda pushing mass diversity, sexual deviance, and godless ideology. Without the mildly entertaining action sequences, those movies were pseudo philosophical dribble with bad acting, bad story, bad dialogue --- bad everything.

Nobody cared about "muh diversity" back then. Black people have had prominent roles in blockbuster films since the 80s. It's only because they've started bitching about it nonstop in recent years that there's a backlash.

>I'm just seeing through their attempts to market to other people.
By other people you mean non-whites? So them having a black lead is pandering to blacks?

>If we can both agree that the roles are bland enough that any actor can play them, surely the chances of a "minority" randomly being selected as the lead are slim, no?
No. The chances depend on their auditions.

>When I see Morpheus played by Laurence Fishbourne, I think, hey, that makes sense.
Why? There's nothing in Morpheus' character personality that states he has to be a blacks man or even hints at him being black, so why is the casting of a black guy to play Morpheus any different than the casing of Boyega as Finn?

>>82763079
> plot elements in the series from a book from 1940 claiming that all black violence against whites was justified

Source on this?

>>82758917

Yeah I remember before the Matrix when every film had an entirely white male cast.

In TFA it was shoehorned in by JJA.

The Matrix needed trinity to add the relationship part of it and Lawrence Fishburne was just a good fit for Morpheus.

Like? I'm sure you can find a white actor that could also pull off Morpheus just the way Fishbourne did

Most members of the "alt right" weren't born in 1999.

>>82764302
You're right, they were born in 1998

>>82764274
You probably could, but it wouldn't be just any white actor, the same way he's not just any black actor.

To that point his major roles were either as a tough father (Boyz n the Hood) or an understated, cool leader, which obviously marry quite nicely for his role as Morpheus in the Matrix.

>>82764264
There was, but it was before people saw it as an obligation to voice their opinion on everything to everyone.

>>82759180
No, but did you ever notice that only 3 main characters were white: Neo, Trinity and Smith?

>>82759454
Or maybe Will Smith in 99' was literally TEN TIMES THE ACTOR KEANU WAS.

I remember thinking when I saw 2 and 3 that there was an awful lot of diversity in zion. I wasn't even racist back then either, it just seemed odd when the city in the matrix was like a mostly white new york. It was also a little bit alien, cuz my own city was pretty much all white back then, and I remember trying to imagine what a city as diverse as zion would look like in real life, and I couldn't.

>>82763777

Any real city like that would have massive amounts of self segregation and violent crime, liberals think diversity is our strength, but many studies and real world results show the opposite of strength
