The Matrix being predicated on a climate disaster is also entirely lost, along with nonconformity in general.
Also AI is evil although that was like the main plot point
I don't agree with this take at all. Agent Smith was definitely evil, the machines were victims of capitalist exploitation, which they just turned right around on humanity once they took charge.
I suppose that point is mostly explored in the sequels though.
Animatrix goes into this concept pretty in depth. Don’t know if that is considered fanfiction or correct Matrix lore.
