After playing such an integral role in The Matrix, Tank (Marcus Chong, adopted son of Tommy Chong) didn't appear in either of the sequels, The Matrix Reloaded or The Matrix Revolutions, with many viewers wondering why. As the operator of the Nebuchadnezzar, Tank plays a pretty crucial role on the team in the first movie, making his disappearance surprising. That's especially true due to the fact Tank was one of the few Nebuchadnezzar crew members to even survive Cypher's betrayal of his comrades. In 2003's The Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions, Tank is instead replaced by his brother-in-law, Link (Harold Perrineau Jr).
It's explained in-universe that Tank died sometime after the first Matrix movie, though no cause is given. It's a simple explanation hiding a complicated behind-the-scenes story. The real reason Tank didn't come back for the admittedly quite divisive Matrix sequels was a conflict between actor Marcus Chong and the producers. Said conflict got incredibly heated, leading to legal battles, and Chong making shocking allegations against his former colleagues and bosses. Needless to say, Chong's career has never truly recovered.
TLDR for the original matrix he got paid $75k (in 1999 is worth approx. $142k today) and for the sequel demanded the same pay as the other 3 or 4 main characters who
While Tank died in the canon The Matrix timeline, there was a behind-the-scenes reason for this creative decision. In 2003, Chong filed a lawsuit against Warner Bros/AOL Time Warner, claiming that there was a verbal agreement from 1998 and a contract signed in 2000 that guaranteed him a place in the sequel movies. Warner offered him $400,000 for The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions, and he wanted to get $1 million, and Chong wouldn't budge (via entertainment.ie).
The lawsuit included claims of defamation, stating that the producers tried to paint him as a terrorist. In October 2000, Chong was arrested for making threatening phone calls to Warner Bros and writer-directors the Wachowskis over his being written out of the movie. He even went as far as claiming he was being blackballed in the industry by the producers. Chong hasn't been in many movies since The Matrix — which may hint that he is difficult to work with.
Beyond all of this was a website I never heard of probably made by Chong and is a goldmine of sneed lmao
https://web.archive.org/web/20020608185811/http://www.boycottthematrix.com/index.htm
As a result of all this drama, Chong's last real feature film was in "The Crow: Wicked Prayer" starring washed up actors Edward Furlong (John Conner T2), Tara Reid (American Pie), and David Boreanaz (Buffy TV show)
(Despite being a fan of the original "The Crow" Brandon Lee movie, I have never even heard of this crow movie until now but I will give every dramatard 1 gold award who has suffered through it and educates me on how terrible it is)
Anyway I have no idea wtf this r-slur has been doing for 15 years after sperging out, but I found his youtube account were he paints a crazy picture and if you skip to the last few seconds claims The Whack-out-ski Sister threatened to transition him, to the grave.

I'm sticking with Chong because Tank was the heart of that movie.
Tank trained Neo, Tank had the strongest bond to Morpheus, Tank told us about Zion, Tank's brother died and he saved everyone by killing Cipher, Tank delivers "I knew it, he is the one". Every emotional beat of that movie was Tank, and Chong played it perfectly.
The entire plot line they made to replace him was r-slurred and the new pilot was terrible.

Link brought nothing to the movie other than a way to explain why Tank is missing.
If you list the characters from the first movie, then include Link, Link is easily the weakest character.

Link was the only one with a family and a direct link (heh) to Zion. None of the other characters had anyone waiting on the home front. Plus with all of the alive characters at the end of the first movie being Neo Believers, it was good that there was a character who was skeptical, but sympathetic. Maybe Tank could fit the bill on the first point, but I feel Dozer's death would cut into the "immediate" drama.
You'd be insane to say that Link isn't a better character than Switch or fricking Apoc.
Jump in the discussion.

Switch's "Not like this" line was one of the more impactful moments of the film.
Apoc was a neutral character, while I actively disliked Link.
"where's my
kitty" - r-slurredLink throwing up his arms like a sperg when Neo makes his catch - more r-slurred. It's like they were trying to appeal to children with his character. Maybe that's why you liked him.
That's all Link did. He's the worst character in the entire trilogy.

That website is truly beautiful. It reminds me how much we lost with all the big sites like Reddit, Groomercord, Xitter and such gobbling up most of internet discourse. Maybe without this centralization every school shooter manifesto would come in form of an original shitty webpage instead of a boring google docs document.
Anyhow.
How did he get those numbers?
Did he add his performance up with that of his replacement? Was Tank2 in so many scenes in the sequels?

Oh, "The Crow: Wicked Prayer" is a real gem... if you enjoy watching a train wreck in slow motion. Critics have not been kind to this one. It's been described as "dull, poorly executed, and laughably stupid". The plot is a bizarre mix of ex-cons, satanists, and a resurrection ceremony that somehow manages to be both incoherent and painfully predictable. The performances? Let's just say Edward Furlong as the lead was a choice, but not necessarily a good one. If you ever wanted to see Dennis Hopper awkwardly use slang like "Homie" and "Mack daddy," this is your chance. Overall, it's a film that tries too hard while making no effort whatsoever. Enjoy the cringe!

You forgot the most important poll option.
Unrelated, but David Boreanaz doesn't deserve to be lumped in with losers like Edward Furlong and Tara Reid. After Buffy/Angel, he was on Bones for twelve seasons and SEAL Team for seven seasons. Not great shows, admittedly, but calling the male lead of three different long-running network television series "washed up" clearly isn't accurate, especially when the most recent one just ended a few months ago.

The Crow: Wicked Prayer is the fourth installment in the Crow series, and it struggles to recapture the haunting intensity of the original. Set in the desert, the film follows a man named Jimmy Cuervo, brought back to life by a mystical crow to seek vengeance against a gang of Satan-worshiping criminals. While the premise still carries the emotional weight and themes of revenge that the franchise is known for, Wicked Prayer falters in execution. The performances, particularly from lead Edward Furlong, feel flat, and the storyline is bogged down by too many supernatural elements that don't quite gel. The film's aesthetic, however, does have its moments, with some striking visuals that convey a grim, gritty world, but it lacks the deep, poetic atmosphere that made the original film so iconic.
Amid the chaos and violence, there is a peculiar moment when the crow itself plays a key role in the story, reflecting the mystical power that drives the film's narrative. However, the film's more unexpected and subtle touches—like a few appearances by stray cats—add an eerie atmosphere to the desolate setting. Cats have always been symbols of mystery and independence, and in this context, they add an unsettling layer to the film's supernatural tone. Unfortunately, these moments of intrigue aren't enough to elevate Wicked Prayer beyond being a forgettable entry in the Crow series, as it ultimately feels more like a failed experiment than a worthy sequel.

I don't want to be rude or insensitive, and in no way diminish your efforts, but you fricking lose big time nigga.
Look what your competition produced. On point, witty, and digestible. For you the AI shat out the most lazy half-assed summary it could and decided to integrate the cat element, by saying "cats are in this movie, and cats are mysterious or something". And the homosexual references are so subtle I'm pretty sure they don't exist.
I rate it IGN's 7/10.

It was weird how his character was born outside the Matrix, but he made a bunch of pop-culture references in his dialogue. How did he learn all that shit, through the ship's viewscreens?
Reloaded and Revolutions are overhated, they don't reach the sublime level of the first one, but it all forms a pretty cohesive and entertaining package. I always stop to watch any of them when they're on TV.
