That reminds me of how Will Smith turned down Neo in The Matrix because he thought Wild Wild West was the safer bet.

[–] AEsheron@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

Honestly though, I agree with him. WWW definitely is the safer bet on paper. But safer doesn't mean foolproof, and the risky ventures sometimes are the most profitable. Making the worse move doesn't necessarily mean you made the incorrect one.

He would have been an awful Neo. Bullet dodged for everyone.

Honestly, the only good decision he's made lately was to not appear in the Independence Day sequel.

i'm gonna be honest looking at will smith's career the good decisions were ones other people made

Yeah, but in the third act he got to fight a giant spider. Do you know anything about spiders? They're the fiercest killers in the insect kingdom.

Dragonflies would like a word

They're not in the insect kingdom.

[–] DreadPirateSnuggles@lemmy.ca 2 points 12 hours ago

They broke in, because they are the fiercest killer.
