*decides to see the Animatrix and play the game*
Ok the trainman is more important than I thought. It gives a new dimension to the tale, but it lacks the 'wow'-factor that we got in TM and TM Reloaded.
So if programs can go outside the matrix, what form would they take? A machine? Probably, as Agent Smith also stated that he wanted to get out of the Matrix.
Why do you think Smith was destroyed? I've heard a few theories:
- Because Neo is Smith's counterpart, the balance eachother. Once Neo is gone, Smith dissapears.
- The purpose of Smith was to destroy Neo. After he did that, he self-deletes (seems unlikely because they talk about Smith destroying both worlds and stuff)
- Once Neo is taken over, the machine upload an antivirus into Smith. Why they couldn't do that with a normal plugged in person... perhaps they had to upload it to the strongest one.
The first 2 seem a bit uncredible, because then Neo wouldn't have had to fight at all... You also see some kind of flux going through Neo's body..
Hehe, the more I think about it, the more I like it. ^^
