if this series were connected to the movies the Major's lines would make more sense

 

 

(in the original movie she surrendered her body to an Ai. program because she no longer believed herself human, so it makes sense that she'd have more of an understanding of and resistance to things that would bewitch people who retained their humanity)

Dammit Major, don't look at the screen!

 

Whew.

 

I'm not familiar enough with this anime, so I'll just ask: Did the Major enter the Matrix or some similar realm?

 

Kind of similar, in addition to networks many individual people also have cyberbrains in this world so it's not just a full online network that she can dive into (she can do that too).

 

She can dive into those people's personal cyberbrains as well if or once she can connect to them after apprehending them. Some have better or higher grade protection than others and as such there are hacking or trap risks as well.

the Matrix was a plagiarism of GITS

 

the Wachowski Sisters are hacks

The first Matrix film was good.  The other two went off the rails incredibly quickly.

 

And I can't call them hacks since they wrote the V for Vendetta film, which resonates now more than ever.

I just genuinely think they're awful writers, I didn't like any of the matrix films and all the other stuff they've done has either been awful or okay but written in a way that implies a HUGE misunderstanding of what they're trying to convey

 

(like sense8, where a bunch of people's mind merge and they all turn into a psychic Pansexual orgy where everyone's sexualiities change and they turn into a pansexual superbeing with 8 bodies and lose their individuality)

It wasn't plagiarism though, and they also openly confirmed that GITS was their inspiration.

 

The first movie was pretty great too.

see my last post

 

I just think they don't know what they're writing

LOL at Wachowski "Sisters"

 

The first movie was pretty great IMO.

 

the other one is Trans too now so, yeah, they're sisters

I'll stand by my statement on "V for Vendetta", which took an all-over-the-place story and made into something politically relevant across multiple generations.

I've never seen V for Vandetta so I'll take your word for it

 

everyone has at least one good idea Like M. Night Shyamalan with the 6th sense

From what I remember the red head on the left was the first to transition, years before the other

yeah, Lana transitioned first

 

(and she's the one with weird ideas about pansexuality being inherently purer than any other sexuality, which is why I dislike her)

What?!?!?!??!?!  Watch that shit NOW!!!  It's on Netflix.  If you don't have that, you should be able to rent from any video store for $1 or something. 

 

I'll just leave this opening scene here.  Watch the whole thing and marvel that the film was made in 2005, not 2016..
