i just bought the animatrix and saw kid's story and thought it was wild. so i guess he got himself out of the matrix w/o getting his plug pulled. i used to think that 'the kid' in reloaded was stupid and had nothing to do with the story but now i am interested in his role in revolutions. i also thought that it was cool that they tied in neo's last line in the short film into reloaded. " i didnt save you kid....you saved yourself." share your ideas on how he got himself out.
I have indeed seen it and it is personally my fav. The Self-Substantiation thing was nice and that specific thing is going to play a role in revolutions in my opinion - see my newest thread: Evolution, its all about Evolution!!! (btw thats a hint at one of my theories )
His mind knew it wasn't real and that when he died he was going to wake up - he realised the truth without being told
I tried jumping of a building,...ended up with a compound fracture in my leg
just kidding. I think that the kid himself isn't that special, but rather what he did. Maybe in the next movie what we will learn is not so much that he's unique, but that what he did was anyone can do. Who knows
thats what i thought metroplex....maybe revolutions will clear that up. or maybe sifer can! he seems to know a lot about the matrix so i dont know..haha
i no that this is gonna be far fetched just as most of my ideas are but here it goes...
morpheus says that the first one freed himself from the system...well that is exactly what the kid did...
i think that the kid was meant to be the next the one in the cycle but then something got screwed up...
but the first one didn't free himself from the system . . . the one morpheus was referring to was the fifth one in the cycle, who reloaded the matrix after speaking to the architect and had to choose 23 people, etc, etc.
remember, after m2, morpheus' explanation is debunk.
