this is a direct quote from a screenwriter who i am very very close to and has a few writing credits, dude is definately in the know and this is his opinion
"They just jacked the plot from a combination of ghost in the shell, invisibles, a few other comics. I'm not mad though, taking borrows tenuous steals, I just wish the second and third movies weren't so shytty. I don't care if both dudes want to transition into being a giant turtle as long as i don't have to sit through the Zion rave scene again"
