(All those who haven't yet seen the third and final Matrix and intend to see it, don't read any further)
I saw the last Matrix last night and have to admit that I was one of the millions of people who thought Morpheus was going to be the one to die. Now that I've seen the movie, though, it makes sense that he would live on. Neo was never the leader of the people... just a means to an end. Of course, now Morpheus will have to lead his people through the hardest part of their beleaguered lives: Life after the war.
Sure... Zion's kind of cool when you're hiding out from the dreaded Machines and throwing orgies like it's your last day on earth. But with nothing to drive them anymore, they're basically just hanging out in the world's scabbiest high rise. It's like The Projects Down Under, with bad, clumpy paint, dirt floors, and pizza ovens for beds.
If regular people in the Matrix are smart, they'll just get the scoop from Morpheus's troops and opt for the blue pill. That way, you get the knowledge, the superpowers AND the French wine and nice clothes.
So, to the makers of The Matrix, that's what I'd like to see in Matrix 4: Zion, 2 Years Later. Follow Morpheus and friends as they try to control the crime, onslaught of bad theatre and civil unrest caused by 600,000 people suddenly realizing that they actually did kind of have it better in the false world.
