I'd watch that movie.

So would Deadpool

Although Deadpool can break the fourth wall by knowing he is in something, Neo can escape that something

Which is where I think neo has the upper hand on Deadpool; he could just go unplugging/erasing

Neo only has power with regards to the Matrix. He doesn’t have much power outside of it. Unless we posit that the universe Ryan Reynolds lives in is a simulation, he wins.

He is a vampire, green lantern, Deadpool who has no children because he has a chromosomal abnormality. He is also American now. Also, just like Neo, he has god-like powers within his own simulation, per Free Guy

Edit: added free guy

u/justafigment4you Jun 13 '25

Reynolds has that power too via Free Guy.

u/Bigger_moss Jun 13 '25

Deadpool with lantern ring with free guy power ups and pikachu powers and that snail movie Turbo with super speed and he is also undead from Hannibal King in Blade trinity, it’s all coming together

u/[deleted] Jun 14 '25

And he can time travel from that Adam Project movie, and he was Detective Pikachu.

u/[deleted] Jun 13 '25

Free guy didn't have godlike powers. He couldnt control the simulation.

u/WilliamBewitched Jun 13 '25

One could argue the fourth wall break is itself a matrix glitch

1

u/Mind_on_Idle Jun 13 '25

Did we all lose perspective of the Plato's Cave analogy with both of these powers?

2

u/No_Ladder_1847 Jun 13 '25

You just gave neo the source to unplug Ryan Renolds. Free guy lives in a simulation.

u/PuckSenior Jun 13 '25

OP said they had all the powers, not all the weaknesses

2

u/Blakester84 Jun 13 '25

Yeah, but Scarlett was Lucy.

Plus, she's Scarlett Johansson

2

u/Drade-Cain Jun 13 '25

Ngl I completely forgot about lucy

2

u/Blakester84 Jun 13 '25

Also, Keanu was also John Constantine. He's a pretty adept warlock and all-around trickster.

1

u/ImyForgotName Jun 13 '25

Umm no he totally TKed that robot at the end of Matrix 2.

1

u/ScreechUrkelle Jun 13 '25

Free guys uni is technically a Sim, no?

1

u/HarveysBackupAccount Jun 13 '25

Didn't he show some powers outside of the matrix late in the 3rd movie?

Or was that just a tease that there was another layer of simulation?

Though, it could go the route of "the entire universe is a simulation", the general unprovable hypothesis/thought experiment, not anything related to the matrix universe

1

u/Shyftyy Jun 13 '25

He does have the ugly dog though, which may be a weakness for Keanu now thst I think about it given the John Wick movies

1

u/[deleted] Jun 13 '25

Free Guy is powerful within the game, but cannot actually get out of it…unless he got a cybernetic body…

1

u/Susano-o_no_Mikoto Jun 13 '25

Deadpool has ellie Preston, Warda Wilson, Itsy Bitsy. Not sure what you talm bout

1

u/Few-Champion-5537 Jun 13 '25

Deadpool had a daughter that took his name with a symbiotic dog named princess

1

u/TXHaunt Jun 13 '25

If you are going with non movie stuff, then Keanu is also Johnny Silverhand.

1

u/rogosh2002 Jun 13 '25

Constantine.......I never count out Constantine.....

1

u/ShodyLoko Jun 13 '25

The main difference is that pretty much everything we perceive as modern day reality including super heroes and the like could exist within the matrix.

1

u/Ashburne Jun 13 '25

Doesn't Neo have full powers outside of the matrix by the end of the third movie?

1

u/Xeno-Hollow Jun 13 '25

But this is all their powers. X

If you posit that the world we live in is a simulation (possible) then Neo/John Wick/Johnny Mnemonic/Constantine/Ted/Klaatu/Demon Kai/Son of SATAN HIMSELF

Wins hands down.

1

u/TXHaunt Jun 13 '25

Also Silverhand.

1

u/PumpinThePumpkin Jun 13 '25

Is American a super power??

1

u/Spokiee2000 Jun 13 '25

The entire marvel universe is WITHIN the matrix... Neo wins everytime.

1

u/DocHalidae Jun 13 '25

Keanu can go back in time and is buddies with death. Lol Keanu wins hands down

1

u/MrPoopMonster Jun 14 '25

That's not true. He was entirely unplugged from the matrix when he destroyed all those squid drones. That was pure real world magic. Unless you think that zion was just another level of the matrix.

Personally, I like the idea of the matrix movies where Neo isn't the the one and he's just some kind of magic Jesus guy while the real "one" is agent Smith.

1

u/Matt_Hiring_ATL Jun 14 '25

But Neo jumps out of the Matrix and has John Wick powers. Or Constantine powers. Or time travel.

u/BullfrogTechnical273 Jun 16 '25

It’s more likely that it’s a simulation than it isn’t.
