Said on The Matrix: the …...

#1

Since we're on the topic, I feel like that era had multiple movies going in that general direction (plot-wise), but Matrix was the one that catered to most audiences, delivering multiple layers of cinematography where not only the intriguing plot elements and philosophical themes are displayed but you also got 100% over-the-top and top-notch martial arts and boom-boom action.

The reason I'm saying this is because I remember at least one other movie from roughly the same era (and I think it was "The 13th floor") being very similar in plot, but I enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed The Matrix... but at the same time it is very telling that I'm not even sure that was the movie I watched.

Also, Hugo Weaving's performance was so amazing and iconic, it almost ruined LotR for me. Not having read the book before watching the movies I low key expected Elrond to Fantasy-SciFi-Cypherpunk on the Fellowship at any point xD And by the way, I think that would make a nice movie as well - Matrix Plot in a Fantasy universe - but maybe not.

Dunno where I'm going with this post xD Maybe just pointing out yada yada Zeitgeist something - also, time flies... 25 years, oh lord

Yes.

Since Eris' last ability is a CAST trigger, it will go on the stack above Scampering Scorcher after you cast it, and resolve before the Scorcher resolves. Therefore you will have the elemental in play just in time for when the Scorcher enters the battlefield and gives haste to Elementals.

There's also General's Regalia, Nova Pentacle and Shimian Night Stalker but the Stalker is kind of weird
