Voodoo Shark: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Enter The Matrix]]'' tried to explain the reason [[The Other Darrin|why the Oracle looks different]] in ''[[The Matrix Revolutions]]'' which was brought up in the film but never elaborated on. Short answer: The Merovingian stripped her of her [[Residual Self-Image]] and most of her powers for telling the heroes about the Keymaker in [[The Matrix Reloaded|the previous movie]]. Not only has it never been established before or since that programs can do this (Smith doesn't count as he was [[The Virus]] as of ''Reloaded'') but he leaves the Oracle with her ability to see the future when the movie has him ask the heroes to get it for him (in return for Neo). But if he could have stolen her powers all along and did it to her once already, why didn't he take it then?

** This also raises a regards to the final showdown between Neo and Smith as the film implies his [[Physical God]] level abilities that match Neo's came from the fact he assimilated the Oracle but if she was left with just her foresight, how is that possible?

** The end of the game offers a semi-plausible explanation that still invites more questions: {{spoiler|Before the original Castlevania fell, Dracula would draw power from a [[Hell]] realm called the Abyss for more minions, and we actually go there and find that the castle in DoS is powered by a mockup version of Chaos, the inner will of the original castle. Destroying the mockup version in ''DoS'' works like destroying Chaos in Aria of Sorrow.}} The question this raises is how did the villains of ''DoS'' know this information? Canonically, only Dracula, Alucard, and Soma were ever privy to it. {{spoiler|Dmitri Blinov got a copy of the information from Soma in the true ending, but long after it would have been useful for the creation of the DoS castle, which existed prior to him getting it}}.
