Help me understand something about this trilogy!!!!

in part 1, everything went as smooth as whipped cream. i understood it without a problem. 2 it was kinda the same way. but what i want to start with the neo/smith fight in part 2 in the middle of the....... whatever they were standing in. when the smiths *multiple* started to surround neo. i knew a major fight was about to happen, so i got the usual excited-ness about me and was wanting to see what happened. the fight breaks out and neo starts pounding on the smiths. then smith wants "more". so more rush in to fight neo. he isn't doing to badly, but he is being over run. but the point remains that he is still defeating a large number of smiths. so finally he is trying to move about but everywhere he goes there are smiths plowing into him, but he still has the upperhand. at the end of the fight he decides to bail out. (this has some significance later)

so we move on to part 3. i didn't get to watch the movie in theatres so i had to wait till it came out on dvd to watch it. boy was i dissappointed. i saw the previous on t.v. i saw neo walking down the street with smiths lined up and down the street and along the buildings with a single "agent" in the road awaiting neo. i thought to myself "oh man, how could he defeat so many". i couldn't wait to see him put an ass whoopin on all those smiths. so i finally bought the dvd and i had built up so much anticipation in this fight. the movies is almost over and it finally happens. neo only fights 1 smith???? WHAT THE FU*K happened???? why in part 2 was neo able to defeat so many of them and in part 3, he couldn't even beat 1? what made smith grow in so much power that he began to dwarf neo "the one" anderson in power??? i just don't understand what it was that made the gap that big......... also, after neo let smith copy him, how did that destroy him??? and why did everybody return to thier original self except neo??? wy is it that he is the only one not seen again??? needless to say i might never watch the movie again.

I'm sure this has been discussed hundred of times, but I'll help you out.

In M3, it's the showdown between Smith and Neo. Smith become increasely more power since thier last enconter. He managed to assmulate the power of the Oracle and that made him more powerful. The power between Smith and Neo was equal. They could not defeat each other. Neo let himself be copied as a way to 'balance the equation'. Neo was x and Smith was -x. Together, they were 0. Everything connected to Smith wa also destroyed.

Hope that helps. Jedi knows more than I do. He might give you a better answer.

AE> it has

Closing..

hmm, its still not closed. look at that.

just look

😂 may i say one thing?
i think that the power of all smiths has come into this one smith who was fighting neo.

IMO, Smith was as much as an anomoly as Neo. Neo was the sum of all anomolies (or something like that) and Smith was the sum of a different type of anomoly

well, in MY opinion smith was the complete negative of neo so therefore he wasn't an anomaly. come to think of it, he was an exile.

More specifically, he's a virus; enemy of man and machine.

SSSHHH!!!

it is closed!! right! CLOOOOOOOOOOOOSED!! 😠

The copies were not needed.

Only one Smith had the strength to defeat Neo. The Smith that was the copy of the Oracle.

What would be the purpose of all the Smiths fighting Neo, when only one is needed? Why waist the energy?

That's what Smith was thinking.

aww come on guys cry

Neo vs 10000000000000 Smiths. That could have rocked, maybe

***C*L*O*S*E*D***

there are a couple of possibilities with smith vs neo and how strong the other is
1. every smith has the same power as the one who fought neo. this could happen because they are all the same program and share with each other their power
2. the smith that fought neo was only as strong as he was because he took over the oracle (just came up with it)
3. the smith who fought neo was the only one who had that much strength because he was the one who was supposed to fight him

*sigh*...i need to get home to my wife

does anyone listen to me?

No.

Nope

i dont even listen to myself y would i listen to u?

Smith (-1) took over Neo (+1). That was what was keeping the Matrix balanced. If you eliminate Neo, then that leaves -1 (unbalanced). When Smith took over Neo, it was unbalanced. The machines used some sort of program to destroy Smith through Neo.
