Morpheus doesn't like the plan.  He believes that he knows how to govern his life better than God, so he leads an uprising.  However, Morpheus has forgetten that God is omnipotent and, as a result, his "revolt" is all part of the divine plan.That would make Morpheus Lucifer.And, when you think about it, what kind of world does Morpheus offer humanity?  A blasted out wasteland.  Can anything grow there?  What about other animals?  Unless there's livestock in the matrix they can free, how does he plan to feed a couple million people?  How many people would thank Morpheus for what he's done?Most people would look upon the world Morpheus offers as Hell.The movie already has religious undertones (the names of the characters being the most obvious).  I doubt that the producers would go so far as to make the heroes the villains by the end of the trilogy, but it would be interesting to have humanity reject Neo and Morpheus and prefer to stay in the Matrix.</blockquote>
