Yet in order for Man to beat the machines Neo will have to go against his destiny.</i> No, the Architect <i>wants</i> Neo's destiny to be that, that is the plan. But from the start Neo was destined to love Trinity as an individual instead of mankind as a whole--so he will refuse to take part in the destruction of Zion. Destiny as a concept is not at all contradicted by that. 9649@blogcritics.org Sun, 18 May 2003 04:08:36 EDT
