Have they been trying to tell us something?The Matrix and V for Vendetta are extremely relevant, it can’t be by chance. Yes obviously they’re weird AF but it seems many artists have been trying to show us what’s behind the veil.

Yeah, absolutely. There are intentional hints in popular culture from the good side. Most recently, cyberpunk 2077 for example, which deals with the moment of singularity - will you upload your consciousness to a machine so you can live forever, in effect killing your soul? Or will you try and make it through life being good, finding a different way to free your soul.
and they're abundant. Jojo's bizarre adventure is as obvious as it gets. Fullmetal alchemist. SAO, to name some animes. Wherever you see the theme of fountain of youth, philosophers stone, eternal life "essence", an all-powerful hostile AI taking over humanity, aliens coming in peace, aliens coming to subdue us, anything with uploading your consciousness to any machine or cyborg body, any movie that shows an apocalypse etc for example the Fallout Games, Jericho ... the list is endless. Not to mention music.
