Talk:List of Matrix series characters

message: How do we know that ghost is in love with trinity? and that they were freed from the matrix on the same day? I always thought he was in love with Niobe (who is in love with lock)
There are references to it in Enter The Matrix. Ghost goes to a Zen Garden in one stage and spars with Trinity, whom he refers to as sister. I believe there are notes in the game manual which fully explain that they were awakened on the same day, and that he was, indeed, infatuated with Trinity.

thread_title: Ghost's Love

message: Can anyone find evidence that The Kid has indeed been seen dressed in an outfit similar to Neo's 'The One' garb in The Matrix Online? I can't find any evidence backing this claim up. Pictures? Video? Even a first hand description from a player or something? I used to play, and I never saw it. And the major cinematics are downloadable at the game's site and The Kid hasn't appeared at all in any of those so far, much less wearing a Neo-esque outfit.
I have pictures of the Kid wearing the Black Machello Prophet Duster (aka Neo's garb). It is what he and the rest of E Pluribus Neo commonly wear in the Matrix Online. As a matter of fact, though this post may be outdated, there is indeed a cinematic where the Kid is visible, and he is wearing a prophet duster.SynapticNeoteny 03:28, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

message: All the pages used to contain a standartized first paragraph like:
: Dozer is the name of a fictional character (played by Anthony Ray Parker) in the science fiction film, The Matrix.
I don't think that model fits here. How about the way the first two are now?

replies: text: I think the first part of each character's description should state which films they appear in, who plays them, and then what their role is (e.g. crewmember of the ship X). I've placed the fictional character part into the introduction, to save repeating it everywhere. --Nick RTalk 13:51, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Introductions

message: Dudes, there are a lot of minor characters missing. From the first film - which I know practically by heart - I can remember Choi (I'll add a little section on him ASAIC) and his girl Doujours (not sure about spelling) and Neo's Boss Mr. Rhineheart. I'm sure there's more, so let's get to it! VdSV9•♫ 18:53, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Doujours and Choi should be the same; the only reason they're memorable is the white rabbit.  Only 4 of the councillors are even named, and only Councillor Hamann deserves his own article.  The other potentials besides Spoon Boy should just be mentioned that they were there with Spoon Boy, and other captains should have a section.  Cypher, Niobe, etc... are not major enough to have their own page, the reason there are two pages for minor characters is so that they can be covered without making the page too long. Atropos 22:52, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

text: Thanks for the reply. I get the point, but as I said in the future these characters will have their sections expanded, probably to a point that the page will get too big and with so many minor characters (the WBrothers added a lot on the last two films) to be kept like this. IMO The Matrix universe has material to become a Portal, I'm not saying it's going to get like the Star Wars portal, SW is huge, but the matrix has a lot to it as well and in time this LomcitMs article will have to be divided.

thread_title: Missing characters

message: Thadeus (voice by Kevin Michael Richardson) is the captain of the Osiris in the Animatrix short film Final Flight of the Osiris and in the video game Enter the Matrix.
Thadeus can be seing sparring with his female crewmate Jue in a very sensuous manner until they are interrupted by their operator. The Osiris had just come by the machine army - about a quarter million sentinels were digging towards Zion. When seeing this Thadeus decided that Zion must be warned at any costs, so they go to broadcast depth and Jue jacks into the matrix and leaves the package in a mail box just seconds before her body is killed with the Osiris in the real world.

message: What's with that whole discussion on Cypher jacking in and out all by himself on the meeting the agents section? That is really unnecessary. I'll change it, if anyone thinks it should stay as it is give a reason and a source for all that, it looks like Original Research to me. VdSV9•♫ 02:04, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Cypher

message: Quick question from someone who doesn't play The Matrix Online: are the "Cypherites" an official organisation, or just the name of characters in the game who agree with him? If the latter, that section should be reworded: at the moment it sounds as though he's the leader of the group! --Nick RTalk 02:46, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

message: :Nick, I didn't mean to delete the extra information. I honestly thought I got it all, but it's been a minute since I've read the article so I never saw any of the new stuff. I apologize, and I hope it wasn't too big of a pain to straighten everything out.
:I'm not against the names. Again, that was a straw man argument tossed out by our good friend here. As for the links, I'm not against it; in fact, I really don't care all that much. I actually think she makes a good point. It was the childish way that Atropos went about it. Last I checked, I have a talk page, too. But she chose to come crying here, not even letting me know, editing things behind my back (which is completely w/i her right but against Wiki ettiquette), trying to be some victim. Not to mention pissing on a character that is a part of a family that I LOVE (Casz, Dozer, Tank, Link and Zee). It doesn't take a genius to figure out what her real motive is. The problem is, I could care less. I won't take orders from someone who isn't equipped to give them here, and especially not from some weeping child too afraid of potential conflict over TEH_INTARWEB.

thread_title: For Nick

message: My screen is set at 1280 x 1024.  I notice that a lot of images don't line up very well with their articles.  Apoc, Bane, Cas, Switch, and Zee all extend further than their text, and the combination of Apoc and Bane's images above Cas make Cas look ofset from her article.  What should we do?  Should we move some to the left?  Maybe get rid of the Smith/Bane image.  Switch's image is really large, I'm going to see what making it smaller does, but that attempt failed with Apoc because of the way the text moved, so maybe we just need a differently proportioned version of her image.  How does it fit at other resolutions? Atropos 00:42, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

message: If you look at the dialogue between Kasreyn and I above in "Bane/Smith Cutting Himself", you will see why any edits that necessarily link his disgust for humans with his self-mutilation are original research because SMITH/BANE never says so literally.
So establishing that he has disgust for humans......  does not allow us to present the conclusion WE as Wikipedians are drawing and say, "Bane cut on himself because he was disgusted by his 'imprisonment' in a human body".  Even though that is a probable factor/reason.

message: Where did we get the 'Apoc' spelling from? IMDB has it listed the same way, but with input from a user, not from anyone official.

message: "It is then revealed that Agent Smith had no intention of returning Cypher to the Matrix, as he tells his fellow agents that they will continue as planned and proceed to deploy sentinels to destroy the Nebuchadnezzar."
I recall this took place after Cypher was killed, which implies that the referred-to plan may have been a backup all along. I don't believe there is any obvious or stated decision to abandon Cypher that takes place in the movie? Maury Markowitz (talk) 22:18, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  This needs a ref 

message: This is my first contribution to Wiki:Talk, so please excuse any missteps.
The section on Zee implies that Dozer was the operator on the Neb.  This is not the case.  Tank was the Op, but in The Matrix: Reloaded, Link did refer to Dozer only.  Maybe Link promised to Dozer that he would replace Tank if needed, but (again) the article implies that Dozer was the Op (which is incorrect).
Please take these facts into account.  Thanks.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.65.37.155 (talk) 05:03, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

I suspect the Architect would say 'Energy?  it was never about energy.  There was no way we could keep people alive in pods and not use more energy than they produced.  That is basic thermodynamics.  We needed so many people in virtual reality to harvest ideas.  One in a thousand or so would go in a direction we could never imagine. And Neo was one of the best.  Did he create Morphius?  We do not know.  But we harvested enough ideas to keep us going for many ages now.  Our question is "What do we want with people now?"
