I find it funny that, in the original films, Neo was sort of the Mary-Sue character due to his unique powers as "The One". Whereas Trinity was the person with hard earned skills who has to get by with being a normal human, yet kept pace with Neo in many ways, even as he was awakening to his true potential. I mean she even yeeted an agent with the "Dodge this" move in the first film, even though Morpheus explained in no uncertain terms that every single Matrix hacker that has gone up against an agent in the past has died as a result. So ironically, by shoehorning Trinity into being "The One... Of Two", they take AWAY from the characters strengths and abilities rather than adding to them. She's a Mary-Sue now. Alongside with Mary-Sue Neo. In a perverted and cringe Mary-Sue "Maryage"

It's almost as if when you "gender transition" all your previous talents go out the window, along with your "dead name" 🤣

Rather than having Keanu do Kung-fu crap again, which he doesn't have the physical condition for anymore, they should've had him do more shootout scenes. Real life Keanu is a very competent competition shooter. They could've easily played off those skills for the film rather than having him try to do fight scenes designed for a 20 year old man.

@Sjcstro84 Well yes, he's not a blatant Mary-Sue. But when you think about it, his failures in the Matrix are a result of his ignorance that the internal laws of physics in The Matrix can be skirted and even broken if you "unlearn what you have learned" so to speak. But after Neo does that, he ends up being the Mary-Sue of the group because his antics go way beyond of what any other human hacking into The Matrix can do, and not because he trained hard for it or earned it. He was simply born with it, unlike everybody else. My theory of why has always been as follows: as the architect explained in the second film (I think), there have been many Zions and many "The One's". But he didn't elaborate much. My theory is that when the machines continually breed humans over and over to use as power sources, sometimes a human is born with a genetic mutation in their brain that somehow allows them to hack the Matrix in ways that people without that mutation can't. I think that's what Neo is. Born with a rare brain mutation that grants him special abilities allowing him to hack the internal laws of physics of the matrix both faster and more extensive than other humans can. And the machines have spent many years trying to figure out what is causing these mutations and trying to eradicate them from the human genome. Hence why there has been multiple human uprisings in the machines power plants, multiple Zion's and multiple "The One's".

I called it. I knew it was going to be shit. And lo and behold, Hollywood is predictable as always.

@dianabarnett6886 Read my second post to get an explanation. Also I'd argue that Neo's trials most likely went by much much faster than the training that Trinity probably had to go through. It wasn't explicitly stated, but the film gave me the impression that the regular humans who hack the matrix has to train for years to be able to do what they do. And that STILL doesn't put them on equal footing with agents. I mean, Morpheus is supposed to be the older and more experienced member of the group. Yet not even he can defend himself against Smith when push came to shove.

@magtovi I don't believe the architect was perfectly honest with Neo in this regard, due to the fact that he was one of the loyalist programs. And when he talks about imperfections, it just hearkens back to what Smith told Morpheus in the first film that they tried to make the matrix into a perfect world where everyone would be happy in the past, but the human minds ended up rejecting it. Considering how much of control freaks the loyalist programs and the machines in general were with the matrix, it doesn't make much sense to arbitrarily grant one individual special priviliges to be able to single handedly nuke The Matrix on his own. The machines worry about crop losses after all. Every Neo that was born must've entailed pretty massive crop losses. So it's definitely not a desired feature in the system that the machines put there by design. I also think this theory creates a satisfying conflict between the machines digital and artificial code and humanity's genetic code. As if mankind is hardwired to break free from bondage imposed on it by an external source. That whole "life will find a way" thing from Jurassic Park and all that.

@magtovi By trying to intimidate Neo through crafting a narrative that Neo's and his friends struggle is futile, and telling him that not only did the machines encounter this many times in the past, but they supposedly implemented these revolts as a feature, he was trying to manipulate Neo into giving up. The architect, like many of the other loyalist programs is not "just" a calculator. He's working towards maintaining the status quo of machine dominance over humans. In the first film they tried to kill Neo. But it didn't work. So the next logical step is to try to manipulate Neo into giving up or serving their purpose somehow.
