| let me explain :) Allow me to explain my views PKgrl (and great website and discussion thread by the way)....
IN each version of the Matrix, everyone from Zion is different since each batch is killed and another new 23 picked from previous Matrix is used to repopulate new Zion. So, in Matrix/Zion ver 1.0-5.0, there is not necessarily a Morpheus....by this I mean a Laurence Fishburne character as there may undountedly be different humans using that nickname (after all they are all Hacker nicks)..similiarly, no Trinity, no Lock etc...
This also resonates with Morpheus syaing that "throwaway" line about there being another whom could manipulate the Matrix and free the first of us ie Previous Neo whom freed the first 23)
However, Neo (and the Oracle) remains the same but since no one knows what The One (or Oracle for that matter until I presume she contacts someone to be "one whom finds the One" ie Morpheus as we know it in latest Matrix) looks like, they still have to find him.
Others like Merovingian and Persephone have been around because they are programmes which have figured out how to survive the reboot.
Those other Neo's in Architect's monitors from previous versions are all Neo (rather Keanu lookalike as we know it) and their different reactions to what Architect says (hence some saying, One? Two? Three? in response to previous Matrices)
BY this same rationale, it seems more sense Neo too is a programme....and ultimately one whom will turn out to sacrifice himself for humanity (sob sob)
In regards W Brothers adding "Please" to dismiss Oracle simply coz Gloria Foster passed away(we will surely miss her, rest in peace), I seriously doubt it. Everything has all been planned well in advance by those brothers. Anyway, I read that the Merovingian sends his henchmen to destroy the Oracle's "shell" (ie Gloria Foster look) as he did say to warn the fortune teller her time is up (he is fed up of thse repeated reloads and asking each Neo to come bug him for Keymaker?)...so this allows another actress to play the Oracle in next film.. |
