Agent smiths differ from the other Agents

[Sixxth]

This is the real issue. As much as we like to think big franchises like these are all coherent, they're not. M1 wasn't made with the specifics of M2 and 3 in mind, let alone the comics/animatrix/mxo.

So, on the Blu-ray DVD, there is a long feature movie about the making of the trilogy where its mentioned several times that they initially pitched all 3 movies to Warner Bros....which would imply that they knew the whole story from the beginning........no mention of the animatrix. Or MxO.


Or not, maybe that was just backpedaling....

Incidently, if you haven't seen the feature, the W bros talk about the matrix movies quite a bit, which was the only time Ive ever seen an interview with them about the movies (or anything else really)
