Can we just appreciate how FAST the original Matrix trilogy dropped?

Hey everyone,

Was just thinking about this the other day and it kinda blew my mind. The Matrix came out in '99, Reloaded in '03, and Revolutions also in '03. That's basically three massive, groundbreaking sci-fi films in about four years (give or take a few months, I'm not gonna be that pedantic).

Think about that for a second. In today's world, we're practically conditioned to wait 3-5 years minimum for a big blockbuster sequel, sometimes even longer! We're talking Star Wars, Avatar, whatever Marvel decides to churn out next. But back then? Boom. Boom. Boom. Matrix. Matrix Reloaded. Matrix Revolutions. It was like a constant stream of mind-bending action and philosophy.

And it wasn't just the movies either! We got The Animatrix, which I consider to be a mini film in of itself, which expanded the universe in really cool ways. Then there were the video games, Enter the Matrix and Path of Neo, which actually tied into the movie storylines. Plus comics and all sorts of other stuff. It was a full-on multimedia blitz.

It's insane how much content they gave us in such a short amount of time. It felt like we were living in the Matrix for a few years there, constantly getting new pieces of the puzzle. It was a truly wild experience, something that's rare to see these days.

It makes me wonder why we don't see more of that kind of rapid-fire, high-quality content delivery anymore. It's like we got a taste of this amazing thing, this golden age of Matrix content, and then it just… stopped.

I honestly wish we could get back to that. Imagine if we were getting Matrix movies, shows, games, and comics all within a few years of each other again. It would be incredible. Something more like the John Wick universe. John Wick fans have been eating good since the first one came out in 2014. There is pretty much as much media for John Wick as there is to The Matrix and the latter had a 15 year head start!

Anyone else feel this way? Or am I just getting old and nostalgic?
