Quote:There are so many things wrong with this post.
1) There's no "they", The Matrix Resurrections was only made by Lana, Lily chose not to be involved because the story was so personal to Lana.
2) While it's true she wasn't forced to do it, Lana also didn't take the project as some sort of "get rich quick" deal. For a very long time she refused to make a fourth Matrix film despite WB promising her literal "fuck you" money because she didn't think it needed another part.
What made her ultimately say yes was the fact that in a very short time period she lost both her parents and a close friend. Lana then wrote the story of Resurrections to cope with her grief as going back to Neo & Trinity was a safe space for her. WB came knocking again and now she had a very personal story that she wanted to make, so she finally said yes.
It wasn't a quick cash-in because "they didn't have the pull for a different big blockbuster", this was a deeply personal film that Lana chose to make as a way to cope with the loss of three people very close to her.
3) Wtf is with "they made one great film in their career". Even if you do not enjoy their post-Matrix career (which I kinda understand, but I do not agree), before that the Wachowskis made Bound, which is an amazing film and highly respected as a 90's queer classic.
