What the hell happened to Tank?

Something just occurred to me. Tank apparently died in Reloaded, but he looked in reasonable shape as M1 concluded. Surely that wound didnt overcome him that badly. I was disappointed with his replacement, Tank was cooool.. this guy was a moron. Who knows any details about how he died?

well M2 is a little more commercialized... so thats my belief for getting rid of tank... but I like Link better anyway. Much better actor. I heard that Marcus chong raided the Reloaded set pissed that he wasn't asked back, and took a lot of food. check this out

I liked Tank better than Link... and wouldve been cool to have him back rather than a new character. We have enough questions as it is.

I would rather have Link...he's more human, to me at least...

More human?? Link is a wussy. Tank would kick his ass all over the place... he was a much cooler character. Link has feminine qualities, cant even carry his own baggage lol

Link is more doubting, more questioning. Tank just took orders and didn't ask why, didnt question. in that respect, Link is more Human than Tank.

maybe many do know this, for those who don't.... Marcus Chong aka Tank is Tommy Chong's adopted son.

Whos tommy chong?

Cheech and chong, i think...

I actually prefer Link because yes, he is more human. I didn't even like Tank very much before I saw Reloaded. Don't know why... seemed too robotic.

Link is way better, he has survived OZ for years!!! well all until the end there

Well I liked Tank but I like Link better coz he is just so damn funny!!

I just think that if they kept tank, the first time we seen the movie, it wouldve been a tad more enjoyable. Every single one of us thought to ourselves "what the hell happaned to tank?" the first time we seen it. It was already a confusing movie with a lot to absorb, introducing that new character was unnecesary. IMO..

I don't think changing one guy for another really confused anything. We said we know Tank died somehow and that's really all we needed to know...

Links cool, he does things tank would never do, like jumping up "YES!" when Neo grabs Morph and the Keymaker

yeah...more human

tank was way cooler than link is! the reason he didnt jump around and that was becos he's more proffessional, he's seen it all before and can keep his head.

and how was tank robotic? did you see his reactions when mouse got killed? or when morpheus got captured? or when they got morpheus back??? i quote 'god dam its good to hear your voice again sir!!!'
'morpheus, you were more than a leader to us, you were a father.'

links okay, but like the rest of matrix reloaded, he just cant compare to the original.

OOOOO YEAH HE SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN AS OSCAR FOR THAT PERFORMANCE!!! Truthfully Tank was ok. He didn't have a major role so it didn't really matter. He didn't need to be the best actor. But I can tell you this, when he talks to Neo for the frist time about Zion & the One, that has to be some of the worst acting I have ever seen (on his part)... but then again you seem to jock 50cent "the best rapper since tupac" HA!!! - turn off mtv free your mind and check out Rakim, KRS-One, or Hierglyphics. Real emcees.....

The reason tank is gone is because Marcus Chong was demanding some off the wall shit to come back in the sequals. The brothers didnt agree with his demands and all hell broke loose:

Ya KRS-One rocks.. but anyway back to the point.. all those examples of reactions you gave of Tank being more human are so predictable.. and the way he says them.. he sounds like he's trying to repress them.
