[QUOTE="Agamon, post: 901207, member: 184"] Heh, funny, I noticed that about the katana, too (though I let it bug me far less, apparently). There is a logical reason for the non-dropping stanima, they're in the Matrix. While they're jumping around, kicking, punching and being smashed through walls, their real body is lying comfortably in a chair. That's kinda the whole idea. Remember when Neo was testing his new kung fu skills against Morpheus in the 1st movie? He was getting fatigued and busted up because he still thought it was his real body. As for the fight against Sereph, even Neo thought it was pointless, so it's kinda hard to argue that it wasn't, though it was obviously intentional. The burly fight was a game of oneupmanship between Neo and Smith (I think it will become apparent in Revolution that these two have become the Ying and Yang of each other, thus their mutual dislike/connection). Smith says, "Look, there are more than one of me." So Neo says, "Oh yeah, I can still beat you all up." Smith counters with, "Okay, I'll bring in more." Neo replies with, "And I'll kick their butts, too." It keeps going until it becomes obvious neither can win. What's not to understand? And the entire point of Neo's existance was not to choose between 2 doors. The point to [i]his[/i] existance was to choose the path less taken, and in doing so, create a world in which man and machine can coexist...whoops, that last part's a bit of speculation. Disregard. :) [/QUOTE]
