Will Smith has too much charisma to play Neo
Neo is not too dissimilar to his iRobot role.
When comparing actors I always like to ask "Could ______ play the same roles _____ can" and honestly I just don't think Will Smith could do any of the movies Reeves did justice. If Will was Neo it would have been a totally different movie.
neo is more like his character from i am legend. even in that movie he has his 'will smith' moments
Not even close
Truth. Neo is a cardboard cutout character, Smith is too expressive for that.
They should have made Will play an alternate Neo in Matrix 4, though.
you know, I kinda agree
I mean this is a joke post
but in all seriousness, if you figured out it was all fake, why exactly wouldnt you just michael jackson your way through enemies and turn everything into a dance battle?
wouldnt that wake everyone up? just keep everyone dancing, and they'd realize, oh frick, this shit is fake, I've been dancing for 3 years straight, this must be a simulation.
>wouldnt that wake everyone up?
Doesn't somebody have to redpill you? You can't just go "I'm in a simulation" and then wake up.
That kid from the second and third films that hero worships neo, he woke himself up it's from AniMatrix
>using (tr)AniMatrix making arguments against trilogy
have sex
the animatrix is cannon
people have woken up on their own. what I wonder about are people who have seen neo. does the matrix just block him out of their view until it cant? it can take over a host body and turn it into an agent--is that person dead? do they just wake up at in bed hung over after having what they think was a wild night on the town?
that's the biggest issue with the matrix to me. seems like a waste to just let you die if an agent needs your 'avatar'. makes more sense to reset you somewhere else and keep using your living body as energy.
then again, why not just let you get killed off and give you a brain zap putting you into a coma? not like you would know or it would matter.
In a lot of respects, The Matrix is very similar to Men in Black. Agents keep the peace for the matrix. MiBs keep the peace for the galaxy. etc etc etc.
Thing is, MiB explains mind wiping. It's how things go back to normal. Matrix hand waves it. If you get shot, then you feel pain for real, if you get killed, then you die, it's sort of like freddy kruger's dream world.
But for an average human in the matrix, how does it work? Do they just kill your character off when you are close to death? Do they orchestrate deaths like final destination when it's your time to go? Do they know when they plan on killing a person early? Do they kill off near-neos because of brain activity? The untimely death of a young prodigy or potential genius? Imagine if Taylor Swift could have been neo, but they gave her fame to keep her occupied and free from existential thought.
>IT'S RAINING BLACK FOLKS
Robbed us of a Matrix rap theme song
can you even imagine? will smith, on a janet jackson sample with a daft punk sample and the hot singer of the moment on the hook.
a lot of smiths movies are about waking up to 'the matrix' anyway.
>So wachu be sayin, that I can dodge bullets n shiet?
At that time, no. He was completely wrong for the part. Wesley could've done it though if we're talkin' black actors.
i disagree, Snipes is too confident. Neo needed some amount of self doubt
I think he could've toned it down. If you see him in his rare quiet moments in Blade or Demo Man he's capable of it. Would he have done that? Probably not.
>We-Wesley
>Wesley please
>Just open your eyes
Wesley, especially at that time, is too masculine for Neo.
Neo is a computer nerd. Snipes is all athletic and muscular.
That's true. Keanu was the perfect build for the character.
>stops bullets
>"Naw."
The real question is, could HE have pulled it off?
>"I'm in the Matrix?.... Wow!'
i can dodge bullets? wow
Isnt there like, a purple pill or something?
>How can you speak if you have no mouth?
>*muffled wooow*
Will Smith is too charismatic, same as Tom Cruise. Someone with no charisma like Brad Pitt could have pulled it off
Thanks Will
>welcome to zionf
>Zicky Zicky Zicky
>The Zion City
>Talkin' 'bout the last human city
Lmfao
love how by casting a black actor, suddenly the script changes. kek
not all black actors. specifically will smith
that's our secret, anon
we want him to dayum and booyah
>Tom Cruise as Neo
>Sean Connery as Morpheus
>CZJ as Trinity
I can't help but feel we were robbed of kino.
>Your the one now, dog
>You think that'sh aiiir yer breathing
>Shtop trying to hot me and bloody hit me
>Were you lishtening to me, Neo?
>Or were you looking at the woman in the red dresh
>look again you bloody cum brain
actually would have been Val Kilmer as Morpheous if Smith said yes.
that could have worked. imagine if they did a trading places element. could have made for some great bits.
>Sean Connery as a mentor
he could've recycled his Highlander character
He wouldn't be able to help himself. Like in OPs image I'd completely expect Will Smith to do some head shake "oh no you don't" sass in response before the bullets fell. Keanu Reeves is braindead but at least that kept Neo quiet and stoic.
they are both not so great actors who are charismatic
frankly, i think Will Smith could act in EVERY movie Keanu is in and vice versa
Bob Arctor, Johnny Utah even
Keanu and Tommy Lee Jones in Men in Black, Keanu and his dog in I am Legend
>agent smith dramatically turns the corner and reveals himself in the subway
>neo looks directly into the camera
>"AW HELL NAH"
>Eyyyyyy I didn't come here to tell you how this is going to end, ya feel me
>My attitoo is
>DON'T START NUTTIN'
>WON'T BE NUTTIN'
*Machines just don't understand begins to play*
>Neo is fighting an agent
>Defeats him, agent shatters into 0s and 1s
>”Aww yeah das what I’m talkin’ bout!”
>An agent kicks down the door
>Enters the room, two other agents right behind him, they look at Neo
>Neo turns to the screen
>”Aww HELL nah”
>Turns around, runs away and parkours over things
>Agents give chase
It’s such an easily imaginable scene that it must actually exist in another universe.
>acts like that before he's redpilled
>mocks Morpheus when he tries to convince him that he lives in a simulation like how he denied the existence of aliens in Men in Black
>becomes stoic when he finds out his life was a lie
might have been neat
Would a bollywood adaption be kino?
Sir Excuse me good sir why is he dodging toilet paper
>I used to squat there
>Really good spot
The real question is if Brandon Lee would have made a better Neo than Keanu.
