What the actual fuck.

The kind of person who came up with it has no understanding or appreciation of the genre or the concepts involved. There is no conceptual thread to unify that book and the movie franchise.

Wait, wait what if we combined “the odyssey and … the bible!” Wat. “No no, it makes sense. If you ignore everything both books are about, the textural uniqueness and the every concept each of them contains!”

Matrix isn’t cyberpunk. Cyberpunk is a sub-genre of punk. Think bikers, street gangs, heavy metal. The first two Terminators.

By the time Matrix came around, punk was out. Not a bad thing. Things come and go.

But sadly the cyber and punk parts got confused: Steampunk and Biopunk, which aren’t very punky.

I’m usually not a genre stickler, but I just got done reading anthology of early 80s cyberpunk punk. It was shocking. Really shocking. It was more about heavy metal and raves than technology.

I highly doubt the creators for the show are actually combining The Matrix and Blade Runner. It just seems the author is hallucinating nonsense.

The Matrix took inspiration from Neuromancer and I guess Blade Runner is the closest we have to a cyberpunk-vibe movie?

None of the text in this article are quotes by the creators, it’s just someone who clearly hasn’t read Neuromancer an asked an LLM to write the article and compare it to existing movies.

It’s TV. You’re getting derivative pablum in the best case.
