Cinematic 9.3 *Spoilers

Now there's 2 of those things?  Seeing them battle was pretty sweet.  Any theories as to what's going on?

Welcome to four days ago :p

lol.

I think it's interesting that we're now faced with two of them inside the city... and it's even more interesting that they know each other.

Yeah, this is really starting to get interesting.  Obviously they will be working against each other but for the benefit of who?

Well it seems if they fight, and the "second" one wins, that is to the benefit of the machines, since they oppose the occupation of the matrix by the first one.

I seem to doubt they want either of them in.

As for who the Intruders are working for, it's easy: themselves. They don't care about the politics of the Matrix. If they aren't working for themselves, they're working for someone we haven't heard of yet. Someone (some people?) very powerful who considers the war between New Zion and Zero-One as a mere scuffle of no consequence.

My answer wasn't based on whether the machines want them in, but your points are still valid.  But if introducing another one into the matrix makes the fight between themselves, it benefits the machines, it would seem.  

I'm not so sure. So far the original Intruder ran around affecting programs. His attentions may now be diverted away from that, but scuffles between multiple Intruders are going to cause physical harm to the Matrix. They're going to fight each other with no regard to Bluepills, Redpills, programs or the Mega City's structural integrity.

Yeah, I can see where you're coming from. In one respect, Halborn will take his focus off the Mechs for a little, but on the other hand, his interest in Carlyne can cause much instability if they have all out brawls in the middle of MegaCity.

Have they just gotten lazy by throwing the people in them onto a picture background

when did they stop drawing everything

Many months ago. Have you only just noticed?

Soon the only animation will resort to is cut-outs... -_-

As long as the quality is on-par with the original south park episodes I wouldn't mind that so much.

I still say that it is just a matter of monitoring the information flow in the area that the Intruder [or not Intruders] are located, and back tracking the information to whatever console is being used to direct the wire-frame man.

I actually thought they coulda just use a moving pic of the in-game characters, would've looked as high quality.

I'm wondering if the Intruder(s) are actually the code of the One and of the Opposite (ie. a Smith-like entity). The question is.... which of them is which?

It's funny because while watching it I said the same thing because parts of the fight were somewhat similar to the sky-high battle, sorta. :/

But honestly, I don't think it's actually them.  Maybe they have the same powers, but it's obviously not the same people or they would know a lot more than they do.  They certainly don't have the personalities of either one, and why would the machines want to recreate Smith in the first place?

Someone in another thread mentioned that the new Intruder looks like the Merv.

Remember how the original Intruder thought the Merv's appearance was humorous because it "looked like him."


A few theories.

Blue Sky Story - 2 Software Partners have odds.  One described sounded an awful lot like the Merv.  The other disappeared.

From Blue Sky Sentinel:

"Wordsworth is staying mum about who's booked for the concerts. But "nobody, I swear to God, will find this less than a life-changing experience."

Wadsworth and his partners founded Metacortex thirty years ago, their initial products simple games and a word processing program, "Probable Word," which is still widely used today. An early contract to develop an operating system led to explosive growth. Metacortex, now a subsidiary of Ouroboros Corporation, helped make Ouroboros the fifth-most capitalized corporation in the world.

Wadsworth retired four years ago, living a mostly hermetic lifestyle in his famously inaccessible mountain chateau, Spindrift, designed by architect Giovanni Porta.

When asked why, after years of seclusion, he is making this public gesture, Wadsworth shrugs. "It's time. That's all.""

Read this sentinel and it will become clear:
Title: Software Mogul's Free Concerts Inspire Anticipation, Dread

The Merv is actually an old operating system and programmer.

And where was the Intruder the other day?

And where did Neo work?

And what did they say about the Intruder's code type?


Makes you wonder what "the source" is eh?
