However, there could be a fairly simple explanation there: Morpheus dies in the MMO game The Matrix Online. That specific event in the game is considered canon because the writer-directors, the Wachowskis, gave their approval to the game.

                  Is that how you treat people in your daily life?

                  No. I also generally don’t do it online.

                  Is that just normal behavior to you?

                  Sadly, yes. Especially online.

                  The original question was completely lacking enough context to understand the intent. Here are two reasonable interpretations:

                  • sarcastic - it’s pretty popular to ignore anything other than the first movie and maybe the animated series, Animatrix
                  • unaware - the games weren’t all that popular, and they weren’t that good either

                  I understand not wanting to step into potential troll bait. So the sarcastic response, while not appreciated, is completely understandable.

                    If you don’t want to step into troll bait…then why would you do it sarcastically and consider it a victory?

        It was a joke, because everything after the first movie might as well not exist. Apparently it wasn’t received.
