The Invisibles: The Directors Cut

[WLP1024usarmy]

Is it me or did The Matrix rip off Alice in Wonderland, The Wizard of Oz, my boss telling me "you have a problem with authority, you think you're special."

[planetery]

This music is such bullshit. Asato Maa is a Hindu devotional chant, and an exceedingly positive one. Whatever fuckwit arranged this song for the Wachowskis tried to turn it into some kind of horror movie theme.. Ridiculous..

[twiztidlestat]

The Invisibles ripped off The Third Eye...so....its ALL similar from that story, FIRST, but even THAT was half written, and vague. Read Philosophy and the matrix, and you'll get a better view. Take Ghost in the shell, The Third Eye,Akira, The Terminator,religion=The Matrix, but it was NOT all Morrisons work, The Wachowshis NEVER said it was the most original, People that don't read did

[polkafrenzy666]

definitely better than Watchmen

[armyfister1979]

indeed.

[1Heretic]

For me this comic is million times more valuable than watchmen

[1Heretic]

Jack Frost FTW

[rhythmicginger]

Nice and smooth...

[bull068]

Dunno why, but Jim Crow will always be my favorite character.

[7lartceps]

It`s a shame The Matrix wasn`t as crazy and far out as The Invisibles.

[jurikarilo]

lord fanny my favorite

[rickyt247]

I have been have the first 4 comics since they first came out. Just started to read them last week. Wow!

[Case1138]

Indeed The Matrix used elements from The Invisibles as well as many other Cyberpunk novels, not the least of which was Neuromancer by William Gibson. I am not familiar with the Sophia Stewart work but I do not doubt there are elements from there as well. Matrix was by no means an original story

[DARKENmu]

what this song ?

[mwells219]

Is it me or did the matrix totally rip off this comic?

[newmoongathering]

I am so in agreement with you. The matrix stole everything from this.... and from me!........ Grant Morrison must have been psychotic to make this comic up.

[machineagemaya]

nah it definately did without a doubt.

[vairocana23]

You're partially correct... The Matrix was ripped off from Sophia Stewart 1981 copyrighted Book/Screen Play "The Third Eye".

[Ophiuchus123456789]

@mwells219 Proven fact. I'm sure Grant tried to sue warner bros for it too.

My question is, is Gideon Stargave a fantasy of who Grant Morrison would like to be?

Many guys wanna be James Bond but Grant would love to be Gideon.

[Vicioustale]

@mwells219 yes the Wachowski brothers did in fact rip off from Grant Morrison

[americanfreak23]

@mwells219 a little bit....well maybe alot...

[1Heretic]

@mwells219 Exactly, but everyone knows Matrix

[BinaryBunyip]

@mwells219

Hmm, In my opinion the Matrix is a bit different to this.

[alxmrg]

@mwells219 They were heavily influenced, but "ripping off" is a strong phrase. Except for the building-jump scene and the King Mob/Morpheus torture scene. Those were just blatant steals.

[bilungada]

@mwells219 it is. morrison even took legal measures but it was taken down since Warner owns both titles :)

[balinmar]

@mwells219 is it me or did you just get that from wikipedia?

[sadnerable]

@mwells219 Issues of The Invisibles were kept on the set of The Matrix during filming. They both also comment this reality and have strong gnostic undertone. But compared to the Invisibles, Matrix has fewer levels

[InterstatePlates]

@mwells219 no, it's not just you.

[UselessOpinions]

@mwells219 Is it just me or did Grant Morrison rip off They Live?

[FonedykSosajedi]

@mwells219

The Matrix clearly was a... mere shadow-puppet of the original ;]

[stickpilot]

I have a white badge too....

[SolidSnack16]

*Orgasm*

[Thesmorphia]

And it's got 23 views! There are no coincidences...

[Beachcomber95]

haha and when I viewed it, it had 32! :)

[krockhool]

Slick video. I concur that this is not a thing that should be put before the slobbering masses. What was woven into these pages is not just a story, and was not intended for any other medium. Though I must admit that I enjoy thinking about what that might produce. Arcane stand-alone complexes?

Also, VisitorY:

The earthairwaterfirespirits were not much of a surprise.

[Eldritchard]

we agree on something......

[loveupskirts]

great series. if they make a tv show they will sh*t on it and trn it in to smallville. best 2 leave it as a comic.

[kingmob1972]

the best!!!

[antogrimes85]

I havent read the invisibles in so long, but f**k what a great graph novel, amazing!

[okulary]

the greatest superhero team of our times!

[doubleknucks]

As perfect as I think the Invisibles as a whole is, I still would have loved to seen more Division X stuff.

[koolaidnhemlock]

could you list the other songs on the "soundtrack"?

[sloeber]

The Invisibles should be required reading!

[gloriana5tenebrae]

Cool, I've love the Invisibiles since I first look at it. Thnkxs for this homage!

[555mvp]

Well done! Thanks for posting. If you ever do another - focus on linking the initiations of teh main Invisibles members. That could be quite amazing if done properly.

Excellent video!

[Vargr23]

It's called 'Navras'. It's on the Matrix Revolutions soundtrack.

[MultiMaso]

What Juno Reactor song is this?

Cheers,

M.

[WolfSnake77]

I really should have the second and third volumes.

[dominictemple]

very cool

[ptupper72]

Morrison says the Wachowskis borrowed a lot of "Invisibles" to make "The Matrix", so this is only fitting.

[princesy]

One of my all time fav comics.

[infrarrojo]

Nice image casting, really bad effects, must use some of the invisibles "soundtrack" like "The sound of the atom splitting" (Pet shop boys)or "little fluffy clouds" (The orb) or "Teenage kicks" (The Undertones)

[t803586]

fucken mean they really need to make this into a tv show
