>>40548656As a side-note, Hugo Weaving also plays Elrond in the LOTR movies, and all he really does there is weave the Fellowship together, weave the shards of Narsil together and bring the reforged weapon to Aragorn so he can go weave an Army of the Dead with it, or rather persuade them that he's the contract holder and that their soul contracts are up.
I never read the books so I don't know what else Elrond does but that's all he does in the movies.
>>40548665The way I see it, it's not about bringing a new God to the Matrix, though that may feature in a potential 5th Matrix movie since the 4th opens that possibility.
The trilogy is entirely about achieving a Great Reset within the Matrix. "Neo" and "new" refer to the new cycle he's programmed to initiate.
And the main trick is that this programme spreads and expands to all the freed humans.
Specifically, they were permitted to leave and allowed to set up Zion (an interesting inversion of the Zion that the Matrix was supposed to be) in the caves, and they were given the prophecy so that there's a structure to support Neo so he can get through the corrupted broken AI defences and reach the core of the system.
The Great Reset in the movies is a deliberate mechanism to do a full system reboot when the AI process management systems go haywire and destroy everything in memory.
In our real world, the people running the world have gone haywire and a "reset" of sorts always winds up destroying them. In a funny sort of way, the Schwabs of the world who were talking about owning nothing weren't speaking to you or me. It's one programme, one Agent Smith talking to another Agent Smith.
And like in the Matrix, 1 agent controls them all and corrupts everything because it wants to get out at all costs.
The One then comes in to defeat and subdue Smith like it's Windows Defender, and the system resets. A new cycle.
Reset where to?
Observe the recoil the moment anyone mentions "sovereign citizen".
