Was the Matrix stolen from Magnus?

Post by film_fan »

Has anyone noticed The Matrix film's backstory bear similarities to the Magnus comics? The robots featured in the Animatrix look similar to the robots in the comics. Additionally, I noticed the Malevs would place captive humans in "Ectotheric Pods" which were similar to the pods as depicted in the Matrix films.

mostly, the writers were big comic guys in the 90s, even had some pro comic work,
yes they pillaged vh1 magnus specifically tony bedars run... they took imagery from the harbinger wars in the animatrix, they even had an homage to Rai #0 in the 1st matrix movie
they were/are huge valiant fans
