Her posture is so magnificent
krapmyself
I like the part in the second film where her and Neo are bumping bony hips and you can't really tell who is who.
CommisarFuklaw
I mean, she does wind up needing to be saved by the main character, and has no personality or development to speak of, so......
Andexx
Because of this gif I am now watching The Matrix again
Beardington
I mean... She's not the lead, but ok.
MaxAwesomeRex
She was the first one to kill an agent in the movies, NOT Neo :)
tumppu
Ackshually... Killed a random human who was used by an agent as a host. Technically the first agent "kill" was Neo killing Smith.
Klingon00
Fun fact: She shoots him with a .380 Baretta 84FS Cheetah, because it looks like the bigger 94 but not too large in her small hand.

Heard they were planning on a reboot. It's only been 20 years, and the CGI diesn't look that outdated. Also the gloss was stylistic.
Charles222a203
Its a continuation actually: https://www.nme.com/news/film/new-matrix-film-not-remake-reboot-2020232
TatooineNomad
All that really means is that they intend a “soft” reboot. Technically a sequel but really just a redo. Like Force Awakens.
SaltyInternetPirate
That's from two years ago. Today they don't know where they stand https://screenrant.com/matrix-4-updates-reboot-story-cast-release-date

I'm going to take it you have no balls because that is not the preferred way to fondle them for those that have them.

She was destined to save Neo who was destined to become “The One.” Truly iconic roles in film for all the actors &actresses, incl. Mr. Smith

WHY do movie people talk? Just pull the damn trigger!

Written by women now right?
CaptDingus
If that were XCOM she very possibly could have missed.
CrazyCatLad
Fuck. I stopped playing that game for this exact reason.
newgen2k3
I had to come back and up vote this comment.
Bystandr
In the first xcom having new soldiers with explosive ammo or rockets I would usually shoot the floor just under the target. They could at
Bystandr
least hit the floor tiles with decent accuracy, as misses would then land closeby far more often than a miss at level could deal splash dmg.

High level terror threat I know I can't deal with: full team of recruits, one satchel charge each.
crypticreference
Yeah, it sure is amazing how far movies have come since the 90s. No more shrinking daisies like Trinity, Ripley, Leeloo, or Sara Connor.
Kitastrophe
Did you just compare Trinity and Leeloo to Ripley and Sarah Connor?
oumajgad
Movie ind. just got fucking lazy. Instead of writing good characters they blame us for criticising shitty characters. Hurr durr misogyny!
TerryCrews
Sara Connor in T2 set the standard for me. Badass mama bear on a mission.
TresusIbor
She was the only movie character I recall that said to hell with the normal ending and went for the Perfect Ending.

The part that gets me is the line before the bullet. "Dodge that" is equally cool and the Agent genuinely has no time to dodge!
KoRplussomeletters
Apparently he was able to move his face around from the gun being in his cheek to square between his eyes...
KoRplussomeletters
He probably would have survived shot in the cheek (lost teeth though).
syntaxxor
Not a lead. Also did you not see the second movie? That one revolving around her needing to be saved? No?....okay.
SithRuleOfTwo
Strong woman lead as well as great women cast: https://imgur.com/L8Gtk8n
Eag1eye
I hated that scene. If he’s fast enough to dodge bullets he should have been able to process what was happening and move as she spoke.
RyanOfAthens
My one gripe is how he's turned and facing her when she pulls the trigger, but he was facing away from her when she put the gun to his head
Eag1eye
She should have shot him then said Dodge that.
youngmountaingoat
That's what I do.

BINGO. If you're a hero, time stops when you need to say something. This includes poignant goodbyes during combat etc.
IMadeThisAccountForButts
Also why does a machine need to say one liners that gave trinity time to shoot him.
nabacular
Because the architect programmed him that way
iliketosaysomethingandthenjustbanana
I thought they were programs/software. Not machines.
NotMyUsualOnlineName
You are correct. The Agents are essentially antivirus programs on steroids, meth, crack, and PCP.
oumajgad
AI can be arrogant too.
paintingagency
Yep. Smith was made "human" enough to understand human behaviour. It also made him a right asshole... Coincidence :?
squirrelduck
(she's not the lead character)
CatsIsTheAnswer
I believe a point is made here. One of those point where logic doesn't matter.
iamthisguy247
What a dummy! The gun was right up to his head, he had no chance to dodge it! She doesn’t know what she’s doing!

Do it, Quill! I can take it.
donkeykongseitan
Maybe it takes into account the alien's superb reaction time? Since it's just a hit chance meter and not accuracy. Have a fun party!
RustyNeX
It would have been cooler if she had said "stay fresh, cheese bag"
MisterDonutVampire
Just saying "Banana" would have killed me.
SuperBoringGuy
That made me literally lol. Thank you. :-)
jbrightmans
She could have also said, "how 'bout them apples, dick lick!"

Good ol’ 4Gifs
kitamuramiike
To be fair, her story almost entirely revolves around her romance with Neo, especially 2 and 3. So not a great lead.
Kitastrophe
She's not the lead, she's a supporting character, but you're right, she's a pretty shit supporting character.
kitamuramiike
Unlike Ripley, Wonder woman, Cordelia, and other great female leads
LosPer
And this is how you get rote, WOKE films...
kitamuramiike
Technically, by breaking the trend, they're the opposite of rote, but okay.
LosPer
Lol. Woke films are everywhere. They are the trend.
TresusIbor
The fuck is "rote"?
DanFranzen
The norm, standard operating procedure, by the numbers, etc.
iliketosaysomethingandthenjustbanana
Aladdin's story basically revolves almost entirely around his romance with Jasmine... doesn't make him any less of a lead in my opinion.
badgerthewitness
Fair point.
rainevasquez
Trinity is a support character and you know it. Neo is quite literally the fucking “one”.
iliketosaysomethingandthenjustbanana
Ok? I'm just replying to the fact that having a romantic backstory doesn't make you less of a "great lead". As the comment above suggested.
kitamuramiike
It's equally true for Aladdin, really. He's not a great lead. It's not having a backstory, it's having the total sum of the character /1
kitamuramiike
Defined by a singular motivation around one other person. To be a great, not just okay lead, you need dimensionality
YourLordCthulhu
True, but the non-protagonist half of a romantic storyline often ends up doing nothing besides that. I've never seen Matrix 2 or 3 though.
iliketosaysomethingandthenjustbanana
Yes. That's true.
CatsIsTheAnswer
miked854
She’s a supporting role, not a lead.
sircowdog
I would watch a matrix movie about Trinity.
Gayforbae
She's female lead, neo is male lead
shorr
Side characters generally aren't leads
Gayforbae
Thats the point tho... She's not a side character!
Nick3571
Sometimes there is more than one lead role in a film. Not sure this qualifies.
d0o0o0d
Nope. Strong female character, yes, leading role, no.
chromaphone
Morpheus, Neo and Trinity are clearly the three lead roles of The Matrix. The sequels proves it even more.
superpaul79
YOU'RE A SUPPORTING ROLE!!
miked854
Well, I am here for you.
Butane9000
Without her Neo literally couldn't have done what he did.
Memnoch112
Without Hermione and Ron/ the ten others/ Robin/Wyldstyle, Harry/Ocean/Batman/Emmet literally couldn’t have done it
EdwardSanders2808
So... she supported him?
snakeksssksss
I bet you feel stupid
CatsIsTheAnswer
That doesn't make her a lead
Lambdafish1
It's ok, Captain Marvel saved us by giving us the female lead the market has been missing all this time
SydneySleeper
You people really seem to hate this movie. And I don't just mean dislike it, you guys act like it killed your child or something
graehall
Pick a film, Black Panther, Ms Marvel, Star Wars 7 & especially 8, Ghostbusters, Oceans 8. "I'm not *ist that movie really was the worst!"
SaltyInternetPirate
Because really there's just not enough white male leads in Hollywood! It's been taken over by black women! - signed, all anti-sjws.

There should have been a Black Widow movie. Why hasn't there been a Black Widow Movie?

The script was started Jan last year then rewritten at some point. Don't know where it's at currently.
Lambdafish1
I liked captain marvel, I detested the marketing for captain marvel
TheLesserOfTwoWeevils
I barely saw any marketing for Captain Marvel and none of it I did see was saying she was the first female lead or anything like it.
KWJester49
Yeah. I saw the trailers, didn’t see anything else, saw more people complaining about the marketing than I saw of the marketing tbh
iliketosaysomethingandthenjustbanana
I mean, having RottenTomatoes delete all the ratings for Captain Marvel because they were only 34% positive is a pretty shitty move.
mardukkur
They deleted all the ratings submitted before the movie came out because of yet another wingnut brigade hate campaign.
iliketosaysomethingandthenjustbanana
No, it was the "want to see"-button that got a very low score, where they also left some comments. But keep on defending censorship...
OneNeoEon
In general, when a beloved franchise decides anyone who voices criticism is a bigot, fans take it rather personally. The movie itself 1/2
SaltyInternetPirate
Except that was never the case. The people who were complaining BECAUSE the lead is a non-sexualized woman attacked first.
OneNeoEon
Is rather mediocre. But the media circus surrounding it earns it the hate. Especially the Rotten Tomatoes/ sold out empty theater stuff. 2/2
mardukkur
Whaaa! Mommeee Rotten Tomatoes deleted my fake reviews so my hate campaign failed! Whaaaaaaaaa!
Othernate
You mean the lies about disney buying tickets to pretend it sold more than it did? Those were made up by the alt right to soothe their
Othernate
bruised egos when their "I won't go see Captain Marvel, therefore it will fail" plan didn't pan out. Movie is on track to make $1B.
Gorgrim
Most people: Finally the MCU has a female lead. Idiots: Buh wah about these females?!?
Lambdafish1
Dude, captain marvel isn't even the first female lead in the MCU, that would technically be black widow in avengers 1
Gorgrim
Well if you put it that way, Pepper Pots from Iron Man was a female lead...
prosperouscheat
Not a lead. Got close in Winter Soldier but still only supporting role.
Lambdafish1
I mean... She is one of the core avengers, what else would you call her?
TheLesserOfTwoWeevils
Part of an ensemble cast.
LosPer
Finally, we can now all be WOKE advocates for absolute equality in everything. HUZZAH!
kitamuramiike
Do you not like equality? I'm trying to figure out where your anger is coming from.
Lambdafish1
The MCU has always been incredibly diverse, black widow, Scarlett witch, half the guardians, all of black panther, etc. 1/2
Lambdafish1
Brie Larson feels redundant as the face of female empowerment in the MCU. It should have been black widow instead. Thats my issue. 2/2
LosPer
No anger. Sarcasm. WOKE “equality” is not equality. It is cultural preference and extreme advocacy for “marginalized” groups regardless >
LosPer
< of merit. Diversity for diversity’s sake.
