6. Morpheus Is a Giant Tool Bag
Talk about a character who got the shaft. Wow. In the original Matrix, Morpheus has the wisdom of Yoda and the fury of Wolverine. He’s an awesome character, and the mentor relationship they develop with him and Neo is beautiful. In the sequels, Morpheus is just there to spout off cliché crap. He serves no purpose whatsoever other than to be a cheerleader for The One. This is proven in the third movie when he says his goodbyes to Neo. It’s the lamest, most rushed exchange imaginable, and proof the Wachowskis did not give a shit about character at all – they just wanted to get to the explosions. Not only that, him and Trinity don’t even get a goodbye! That’s absurd. He’s also kind of a dick. If anyone questions him, he’s just like, “How dare you.” Morpheus in the first Matrix = awesome. Morpheus in the sequels = douchebag supreme.
5. The Supporting Cast Sucks
In expanding the Matrix mythology, you inevitably have to bring in more characters for the sequels, which they did. They all suck. There’s this annoying kid who follows Neo around like a puppy dog. Commander Lock is a giant ass hat. We have random council members that are about as interesting as Ki-Adi-Mundi and Kit Fisto were on the Jedi Council. Link is a complete waste. All the other captains are cold, uncharismatic props. I don’t care about anyone in this world, and we’ll actually touch more on that later. The only halfway decent character they introduced was Niobe, played by Jada Pinkett-Smith. Other than her, the ancillary characters were a complete waste of time.
