The Matrix/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Instant Expert]]: Justified since it is in the Matrix.

* [[The Messiah]]

* [[My Name Is Inigo Montoya]]: The above-mentioned line, {{spoiler|after which he smashes Smith into the ceiling in the first show of his power as [[The Chosen One|The One]].}}

* [[Not in Kansas Anymore]]: When he first wakes up in reality.

* [[The Power of Love]]: {{spoiler|Used by Neo and Trinity to resurrect each other.}}

* [[Screw Destiny]]: See [[The Messiah]] above.

* [[Catch Phrase]]: Mister Anderson.

* [[Cool Shades]]

* [[Evil Cannot Comprehend Good]]: This ultimately leads to his downfall. After {{spoiler|defeating Neo, he asks why he still continues to fight, going into a long rant about how fighting for freedom and other morals is foolish and that love is something that only a human mind could invent. He angrily asks Neo why he insists on fighting, even though he has absolutely no chance at winning. Neo simple says, "Because I choose to." This makes Smith snap, mercilessly attacking Neo, and failing to realize that even though he can see the future he cannot understand it, making him just as blind to his fate as anyone else.}}

* [[Evil Counterpart]]: To Neo, and he acknowledges it himself.

* [[Irony]]: His "Humanity Is A Virus" speech vs what he becomes.

* [[Large Ham]]

* [[Mind Rape]]: He overwrites the brains of his victims, leaving them without personalities. On the other hand, the Machines have done this to most of the human race.

* [[Not Quite Dead]]: Destroyed by Neo in the first movie, but he came back in the second.

* [[Nietzsche Wannabe]]: Every thing he says could count as this. But most notably are his speeches in ''The Matrix'' to Morpheus; his resurrection speech in ''The Matrix Reloaded''; and his rage-fueled rant in ''The Matrix Revolution''.

* [[Omnicidal Maniac]]: He basically wants to destroy the Matrix and Machines, in addition to the humans. It's also hinted that he desired the destruction of the Matrix when interrogating Morpheus, or at least escape from it.

* [[Removing the Earpiece]]: In the first film, he briefly removes it to confide in Morpheus how much he's come to ''hate'' humans (as opposed to simply performing his function like other Agents). He stops wearing it entirely in the sequels, and sends it to Neo to "thank" him for setting him free.

* [[Send in The Clones]]: "More!"

* {{spoiler|[[Mentor Occupational Hazard]]: Subverted. He's the only lead to make it through the entire trilogy.}}

* [[Mr. Exposition]]

* [[There Is No Try]]: "Stop trying to hit me and hit me!"

* [[Waistcoat of Style]]: At least in ''Reloaded''.

* [[Working With the Ex]]

 

* [[The Omniscient]]

* [[The Nth Doctor]]: The Oracle had two actresses during the films, Gloria Foster died and was replaced with Mary Alice. The in-universe explanation was that Rama-Khandra gave the Merovingian the Oracle's shell codes, causing her to gain a new physical appearance.

 

=== Cypher ===

* [[Man of Wealth and Taste]]

* [[Manipulative Bastard]]

** [[Flunky Boss]]

* [[Power Perversion Potential]]: Reprograms a cake so that the woman who eats it gets an orgasm.

* [[Sissy Villain]]

** [[Camp Straight]]: As far as we know.

 

=== Persephone ===

* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: See her outfits and seductive demeanour.

* [[The Power of Love]]: Persephone convinces the Merovingian to surrender Neo, acknowledging how far Trinity will go to rescue her lover.

** Additionally, she helps out for this payment in [[Enter the Matrix]], from both Ghost and [[Les Yay|Niobe.]]

* [[Woman Scorned]]

 

* [[Badass Grandpa]]: The Keymaker is pretty sturdy, surviving the whole car crash sequence without a scratch despite being attacked by Agents, the Twins, cops, and flung around like a toy.

* [[Cool Key]]: Take your pick. He's got a room full of them.

* {{spoiler|[[Heroic Sacrifice]]}}: {{spoiler|Gunned down by Smith, although he claims it was meant to be.}}

* [[Key Under the Doormat]]: The physical incarnation.

* [[Those Two Bad Guys]]

* [[Waistcoat of Style]]

 

=== Commander Locke ===

=== Rama-Khandra, Kamala and Sati ===

A family of exiled programs, Rama-Khandra and Kamala created Sati out of love but are forced to leave her in the Matrix with the Oracle, as she serves no purpose to the Machines. Going to the Merovingian for help, Rama-Khandra gives him the Oracle's shell codes, causing her to change her appearance. They meet Neo in Mobil Avenue and are taken by the Trainman to the Matrix. Rama-Khandra and Kamala return to the Machine City.

* [[Early Bird Cameo]]: Rama-Khandra appears briefly in the second film as Neo and co. enter the Merovingian's restaurant.

* [[Elemental Baggage]]: Sati can alter the weather in the Matrix.

* [[Mama Bear]]: Kamala.

* [[Papa Wolf]]: Rama-Khandra.

* [[Put On a Bus|Put On A Train]]

* [[Eye Scream]]: Unlike Neo, Ash had his bug implanted here (in his left). Trinity removes it with a special device, somehow without destroying his eye in the process, but it is still terrifying.

* {{spoiler|[[Face Death With Dignity]]: The last we see of him, he is critically wounded in a train car and surrounded by three Agents who are only moments away from shooting him to death. What does he do? He calmly points his revolver at them, and lights a cigarette.}}

* [[Kindhearted Cat Lover]]: Has a fluffy cat named Dinah he keeps despite being broke.

* [[Private Detective]]
