They handwave it all away with that “combined with a form of fusion” line, which is fine

Are you watching the movie to be entertained or to give yourself science homework?

Thank you!

I’m *really* proud of the last one I just finished, which’ll be next week’s

Not based on a true story (yet)

#comic #comicsky #matrix

Alarmingly Bad comic, The Matrix 2025 Pt 2

A recreation of that scene in The Matrix in the white void where Morpheus explains to Neo how people are being turned into batteries

Afterwards Neo goes “whoa” and asks Smith (who is behind Morpheus and has been previously out of frame) “Smith is this true?”

Smith, wearing a Grok hat, has a doofy smile on and just goes full muppet saying “MechaHitler” over and over

Later, while Smith continues to keep saying MechaHitler, Neo asks Morpheus “why are we afraid of them again?” and Morpheus replies “honestly, I’m not sure”

I made the original comic to this 3 months ago and it… doesn’t feel any less relevant today

The only thing that has aged poorly about The Matrix is the idea that AI is competent

Just because the show is maybe back doesn't mean the 1st Amendment's jimmies weren't rustled by the government.

Look, I literally learned ABC un-capitulated to the FCC *as I was making this video*

AND ALSO since making it Sinclair is still pulling him off the air so I have no idea where anything currently sits anymore. So I'm publishing this anyway.

Surprised I haven’t gotten that yet, but of course the rejoinder to that is “well, if there’s no law, what exactly is the president enforcing?”

Felt like I needed to get this out of my system. Dumb silly comics to resume next week.

I'd like to say I have no words, but I think that's an outcome my government would be happy with.
