why is this film even getting made

to me only the matrix 1 exists

Clearly not , you're calling 2 & 3 a travesty and moaning about 4

ergo 2,3 & 4 exist for you

What is exist? you can watch them , see then , hear them
but all that means is electrical impulses in your brain.

...and then if you didnt enjoy the experiance you can consign it to "doesent exist"
if only Neo thought of that

well , the third one seemed to end in a pretty unsatisfactory ceasefire agreement that left them exactly where they started at the start of Matrix 1

no one won .

So there must be room to make a 4 where something actually changes/happens

I agree. I don't care if Matrix 4 is "woke" or not. Matrix 2 and 3 were a huge letdown from the first film and never should have been made. This "franchise" should have never existed. The first film was an excellent stand-alone story. Neo won in the final scene. THE END.
