In The Matrix (1999), the programmed agents are shown to have superhuman reaction speeds. Therefore, a human pausing to say “dodge this” gives them more than ample time to, in fact, dodge that. (lemmy.nz)

Rare win for German dub: she says "only an agent", referring back to "only (a) human".

"How did you do that?"

"Do what?"

"You moved like they do. I've never seen anyone move that fast."

Glances at nicked shoulder "It wasn't fast enough."

Glances at helicopter "Can you fly that thing?"

"...Not yet."

Sorry lol, couldn't resist, this whole movie is etched into my brain forever

Same. Remember every line

[-] PixTupy@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 days ago

Yeah but she sounded cool af, so it's okay.

[-] tetris11@feddit.uk 5 points 2 days ago

Well she said it in a high speed hummingbird chirp, but they slowed it down for the audience.

Thats why when she jumps she spreads out like an eagle

Don't those humans also have superhuman abilities in the Matrix which allow them to partially compete with the agents?

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 days ago

In the same way that I can "partially compete" with Messi. Everyone not named "Neo" just dies a horrific death

[-] Buttermilk@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 days ago

Maybe she was beginning to believe?

[-] EmilieEasie@fedinsfw.app 2 points 2 days ago

Yeah, I really can't accept Trinity BAMF denialism

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

If you look at the scene. The agent was approached from its left side. When the shot was fired it was facing Trinity. Had time to turn but not time to react.

Or it was just a little continuity problem with the cut.

Shitty Movie Details

Share your favorite movie (and other motion picture media) details, potentially with a shitty twist.

To be clear, this is a place for satirical and meta^2^ references. Not really the actual movie details, unless they're truly stupid or have strong meme potential/background. "Oh hai Mark" kind of stuff. Tho sometimes even these can span a good debate.

For maximum funni, include full name of the movie, its release date and all the detail right in the title of the post.

Try to avoid actual shit and other nasty stuff. Mark nsfw when appropriate.

For shitty videogame details, there's !shittygamedetails@lemmy.world

Regular rules of lemmy.world apply. Have fun.
