Hi guys/gals.  So I have some thoughts for you all to ponder, and I would be especially interested in hearing responses from supposed "bad guy" orgs:


When you watched the Matrix films, it was obvious who the "good guys" were.  It was Zion against the Machne Empire, and we couldn't wait to see Neo blow the whole thing up with his uber-self.  You walked into the game with a certain mindset, but when you heard about opposing orgs, some of you saw fit to join them.


One of the reasons I believe the final film was met with such scorn was because it wasn't particularly cut and dry the way it ended.  Wasn't the Machine Empire supposed to be destroyed, and humanity could reclaim the surface, heal the sky, and bring natural order back to the Earth?  Ha, but it didn't end that way, and we were left with peace.


So now we have various perspectives of what the "good guys" should be...ZIon, Merovingian, Machine, Cypherite, Pluribus Neo, Morphite, and others.  Is there a clear cut good guy/bad guy?  Considering some sort of endgame (if it happens), how will it end?  Is it right for the story to end with anyone but Zion coming out on top?  What made you consider joining the org you chose?


Ideas?
