Neo > Wick

This is not a John Wick slander. 

I think it's a travesty calling Keanu Reeves John Wick rather than Neo. I know it's because of social media. Kids today have no idea how huge The Matrix was.

When you try to educate the kids about the awesomeness that was before social media, they say it's nostalgia.

Shame.

Personally, The Matrix is a bigger movie than John Wick. The stakes were higher and it's such a complex classic. John Wick is an action epic. The Matrix is a mind-bending work of art.

I do agree that John Wick 3 is a masterpiece and with the plans for John Wick 4 & 5, the John Wick franchise might just leave The Matrix in its shadows forever.

So in my mind, it's Neo, not John Wick.

Maybe not for long tho.
Oh lord. I wanted to throw up after watching John Wick. There is ZERO creativity in that movie. I don't know which one of them I saw but there is no way I would watch another John Wick even if I was drugged. 

For me Keanu Reaves was the best in Speed. Then he totally lost how to act. Every movie since has been the same expression on his face. But Neo > John absolutely.

My answer is "Who's John Wick?" I never saw any of those movies. The Matrix really is a spectacular movie.

We have all found ourselves in the Geezers Club because I also think 'who is Wick?' lmao.

But on another note 
The Matrix
has influenced multiple waves of cultural creations. And yes I'm aware that The Matrix itself was inlfluenced by other things like 
Anime

The Matrix is so influential that it's been memed and been used as a catch all phrase for even aesthetics. Like when the wall of green code on a black screen. or like when people bend over backwards to dodge bullets.
