oh shit
So, to make things clear they went from being famous "Wachowski brothers", to "Wachowski siblings" and now to "Wachowski sisters" ? It's hard to follow.
Spiteful me wants to see "redpilling" reclaimed as "coming out as trans"
woah, so the wachowski bros are the wachowski sisters?

its kinda funny how a term used by racists/sexist/transphobes is a term coined by two transgender women
Wait, who called them 'the Wachowski siblings'? I just called them the Wachowskis.
Well time to rerelease the matrix if only to change the names on the box.

i wonder, does this make current Matrix movie collections more valuable now?
The people who made the Matrix trilogy are transgender? That's pretty cool I guess
Excellent, they're symmetrical again.

Yeah it was freaking me out, like when the volume isn't on a multiple of 5

You must hate my windows volume slider then, it goes to 11.

Fun fact: One of the characters in the Matrix was originally going to be one gender in reality, but another in Matrix, kinda showing their real self.
So i guess at least one of them was showing signs of being transgendered early on.

FWIW, the first movie and Animatrix still hold up.

Haven't watched Sense8, I've read good things about it. Might give it a go one of these days.
I like hearing about people's reactions to the very first scene in Sense8

Wth, first and second hold up pretty well, the second's Smith fight scene is about the only part that's bad because the CGsmiths, but the self contained plot is pretty great and not rushed like the third movie
Also highway fightscene is pretty great

Pretty sure I had a crush on Switch when I was younger.
Lets hope now they'll make a good movie. Jupiter whatever was quite bad
Well, Sense8 suddenly makes more sense.
holy shit, what are the chances

Good thing they didn't go with that, otherwise it wouldn't have made any real sense, specially if it wasn't going to be addressed in the movie.
"Wait--Neo gets out of the matrix and this chick called Switch that was there assisting them, is now a dude? What did we miss?"
Neo would be just as confused as the viewers.
[QUOTE=Turnips5;49897506]holy shit, what are the chances[/QUOTE]
This will probably be cited as proof for gender and sexual identity being linked to genetics and being "born with it".
[QUOTE=Jamsponge;49896317]Wait, who called them 'the Wachowski siblings'? I just called them the Wachowskis.[/QUOTE]
I didnt even know either of them had gone trans. they were always Wachowski bros to me.
[QUOTE=Dr.C;49896353]Yeah it was freaking me out, like when the volume isn't on a multiple of 5[/QUOTE]
you think that's bad, insisting that your volume be on powers of 2 is absolute torture
[QUOTE=emly;49896276]Spiteful me wants to see "redpilling" reclaimed as "coming out as trans"[/QUOTE]
this made me laugh out loud, this is just too perfect it needs to happen
Not too surprised. Lilly always kinda gave me trans vibes as well. Good to see that my intuition isn't always 100% useless.
Now they need to step up and make a movie that deserves to be mentioned in the same sentence as CA or the Matrix.
Edit: /tv/ is going apeshit

I don't know why would anyone trust a budget to those two. Nothing but shit after V.
