Possible Story Ideas

RE: Possible Story Ideas
I have quite a few problems with their backstory, but they're more related to how MxO affects / detracts from the trilogy, so I won't go too deep into it here. I know that between changing mediums from film to games that you have to change some things, but this is a bit too much.

While everyone is scrambling for a reason why Neo can stop sentinels, or how he came back from the dead, or how he saved Trinity, they're too busy thinking to catch the point: Neo is special. Beyond the fact that he's the anomaly, he's even bigger than just being the One. Whether that's by the Oracle's design or because it was just time, I can't say. Still, making Trinity into this program that symbiotically (maybe not quite symbiotically, but it's a mutually beneficial arrangement, no?) keeps Neo alive detracts from the fact that Neo didn't die in that hallway because he already believed he was the One. Therefore, he can bend and break rules as he wishes. One of which was that he did not want to die, so he didn't.

The kiss wasn't what revived Neo, Trinity reinforcing that he is the One because she loves him is what revived him.

Turning it into "Neo survived because Trinity is a program so that the two can keep each other alive" really cheapens that whole scene in the beginning for me.

I won't even bother going in to the rest of it, because like I said, it's not a story idea, just gripes. It sucks that Rare left in the middle of this arc that for me, really threatens to ruin the entire basis of the original trilogy by catering to the people who asked, "but HOW did that happen" because their minds are too closed to see that the answers are right there if you stop applying your rules to the story.
