What if I told you…
… that the Wachowskis first contacted Will Smith to be Neo, but he turned it down as he was working on Wild Wild West at the time?
But uh yeah, it is absurd and infuriating that ‘red pill’ now means “become a misogynist douchebag scam artist bullshit guru to maximize profits” in a movie series that is entirely about defying the world as constructed by orientation around the profit motive.
