I realize Neo beats Morpheus quite handily in the next fight sequence, but what was the point of Morpheus establishing the rules of the system, while showing Neo how to break them (like fighting without getting tired, and the building jump in the next scene), for him to lose in a fight against Agent Smith? Shouldn't the very cheats he was demonstrating and teaching Neo allow Morpheus to fight Smith on equal ground?
>"You're faster than this. Don't think you are. Know you are."
Why didn't he just believe himself to be faster than Smith? Why don't any of Zion's inhabitants believe this? Especially if they can prove to be able to do things like pass the jump simulator.

It’s explained in the 4th movie dumbass he isn’t the one trinity is

it's hard to really believe

>>213319385
i know this is bait but Trinity wasn't even The One in Resurrections, they were both "The One"

>>213319571
Yeah, that's what I thought. She can only do the things she can because of her connection to him, or something like that.

>>213319571
>>213319906
>>213319385
neither of them were "the one" because they needed each other to break the system.

>>213319351 (OP)
Because regular humans can only bend the rules to a point. Only Neo can truly break the rules.

>>213319351 (OP)
morpheus wasn't stronger or faster than neo due to his muscles, smith is stronger and faster due to his muscles

>>213319351 (OP)
Could neo make Morpheus white if he believed hard enough?

>>213319385
>>213319571
lmao, trinity dies in the 3rd one. You're saying she somehow returned for the 4th movie? What a joke.

>>213320016
He just got done explaining that whatever you do in the Matrix doesn't really have anything to do with your body, but how you perceive it. That's why the bald kid could bend spoons by deciding "the spoon doesn't exist, so it probably won't mind if I make it do backflips".

>>213320108

Shouldn’t schizos all be lords of the matrix then.

I'm not sure if OP is trolling or genuinely confused about this, but the reason is that Neo is the One. That's the whole point.

Morpheus was extremely competent, he was a legend himself, a leader are arguably the best fighter along with Trinity and Neo. They were all very well aware of the conditions they had inside Matrix, but even them wouldn't dare fight an Agent, so much so that he is captured and Neo sort of loses the fight too (before being ressurected). They could all dodge bullets, but only Neo after ressurection could stop them mid air. They could all perform incredible jumps, but only the One could fly. That is, Neo was capable of not only bending the laws, but ultimately break them at will.

The Matrix is a big illusion, so it's all fake anyway, there are no fights, no cities, no nothing. What goes on inside the Matrix is a produce of hallucination, one that is so interlinked with human consciousness that you can't help but believe it. The people who are asleep inside it have no idea. Those who got out know it's fake, but they can only extend their belief so far, that's why they die in the real world when killed inside Matrix, the body responds as if it was real. Neo was able to shake it off, so the bullets inside him in the Matrix did not really affect his body in the real world.

The whole movie is about Neo learning to accept that he's the one, before he does that he's full of fear and doubt that makes him vulnerable, but the more he believes in himself the more powerful he becomes until he eventually ascends to godhood. The agents now exactly who and what they are and what they're capable of so they're more powerful than humans in the matrix. It mirrors lots of new age philosophies about enlightenment and inner peace and stuff that people were heavily into in the 90s(and also shows that its not a fucking tranny allegory and anyone who says that is dishonest or retarded)

Think about it with a video game analogy.
Morpheus and his team can bend the rules by knowing the mechanics of the system and how to abuse them. The physics engine of the Matrix can be utilized to let Morpheus' crew do things like bunny hopping across massive distances. They know how to nullify the stamina cost of any of their actions.

The One is basically the Matrix accidentally giving someone admin powers. Once he fully understands and accepts that the Matrix is a simulation, and he knows all the console commands via his One Vision or whatever, there are no actual limits to what he can do. He literally doesn't even bother with fighting anymore at the end of the movie because he realizes he can simply delete Smith, permanently.

This is ignoring the sequels obviously because all of his ludicrous capabilities are downgraded to "can punch and kick faster".

>>213319385
Isn't the track runner from Animatrix the actual 'One'?

>>213320527
Yes, but in the next movie not only does Neo remark that the Agents got "upgrades", but Morpheus stands his ground against one on the freeway. Does that just mean he wasn't believing in what he was selling Neo in the first movie?

>>213320253
Came here to post this but without the Instagram watermark. Makes me laugh every time, thanks.

>>213321387
The sequels literally completely undo everything that was established in the first movie via plot holes and contrivance for the sake of making money, I don't know why you're bringing them up

>>213319351 (OP)
I've wondered this myself. Why don't they just believe in themselves to be immortal? Or to be poisonous agent killing gas? Yeah, yeah,I know nerds are going to start screeching at me.

>>213321801
Even if we're only talking about the first movie, there's other shit I don't know about. Does Cipher hate Morpheus because he tried to convince Cipher that he was the one, but was rejected by Trinity? Did Neo actually bend the spoon, or did he think he was bending the spoon?
>inb4 what spoon

>>213320527
Dying in the matrix shouldn’t kill you any more than dreaming kills you but there’s no other device than can create dramatic tension.
