So we often cover up to date news stories relating to Culture War insertion into popular culture and entertainment. It seems that the new Matrix film is no exception to this trend.
Don’t get me wrong, there will only ever be one Matrix film and that came out in 1999. Everything that came after that can be forgotten in my opinion.

Further illustrating the point, we’ll apply it to some other franchises where the fanbase either is in the process of, or soon about to learn what it really means, namely The Wheel of Time, Sex and the City, and finally, Lord of the Rings.
Finally, we’ll look into what happens after the The Last Jedi treatment has been applied, as we look into the current state of Star Wars, shortly before the premiere of Book of Boba Fett on Disney Plus.
