Question in regards to Loyalty...

[Vesuveus]

One thing I sometimes have trouble getting over is that Morpheus, Neo, trinity and the other members of the Neb were the "hereos" and they killed innocent people.

I don't particularly believe that every guard, swat and policeman is a machine program. I just always thought that since an Agent can possess them, then they are human. I suppose and Agent could possess a lesser program that was connected to the Matrix, rather than an exile. But that is another topic.

The lobby scene sticks out. All those people just doing their jobs, They believed they were fighting terrorists who invaded their gov't building. And Neo and Trinity killed them. Why? If you are not one of us (extracted) you are one of them. Anyone still connected to the Matrix is potentially an Agent. Some minds are not ready to be freed. They are dependent on the Matrix and will fight to protect it.

So it is really a case of only the strong survive.

So if Morpheus is willing to kill coppertops one at a time, then maybe he really was willing to kill them all at once. The same cause and motive applies.

Code bombs: What did they actually do? My understanding is that they showed the code of the Matrix and those that were not ready would die of shock. Those that were ready would; I dunno. Self-substantiate? But they would drown, right? That's not according to Morpheus' plan (as I see it, explained above).

So this thread had provoked some thoughts. My old stance is that Morpheus had in fact gone crazy and if he were to come back I may not support him.

(RP wise I would have loved to go on bombing sprees with the LET Morpheus, but I would actually have been conflicted as the person sitting at the computer)
