Cypher justifying his decision to betray his friends and re-enter the Matrix. Cypher (born Reagan) was a redpill assigned to the Zion hovercraft Nebuchadnezzar under the command of Morpheus.
Cypher. The mustached, snakeskin-jacket-clad, traitorous crewmember of the Nebuchadnezzar. The anxious Cypher accepts his role as a traitor over a last supper in the Matrix, savoring his juicy steak.
Neo and Trinity, however, reenter the Matrix to make a daring and successful rescue of Morpheus. Neo saves Trinity from a helicopter crash, confirming Morpheus' belief that Neo is indeed the One.
But a faction of the Synthients led by The Analyst invaded Zion, killing Morpheus in the real world and destroying the city. The surviving humans regrouped and with their new Synthient allies, rebuilt a new underground city, IO; led by General Niobe.
Pantoliano's Cypher is one of several crew members of Morpheus' (Laurence Fishburne) ship, the Nebuchadnezzar, but he infamously betrays the entire crew after being offered a tasty deal by Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving).
The Kindly Ones arrived, but Dream would not fight them, he allowed them to destroy him in order to save the Dreaming, and Death took Dream. Dream's role in the Endless was assumed by Daniel.
Morpheus died in The Matrix Online, a game that is part of the “Matrix Expanded Universe” and is considered Matrix canon. Therefore, Morpheus' death could not be ignored in The Matrix Resurrections. As for Agent Smith, Hugo Weaving could not return for The Matrix Resurrections due to scheduling conflicts.
When Morpheus presented Neo the choice between two pills, he explained how the red pill will start Neo's journey to discover the reality behind the Matrix and how the blue pill will just return Neo to his normal life.
Is Morpheus good or evil? Morpheus is not depicted in Ovid as being either good or evil. In the "Metamorphoses" he helps Alycone learn that her husband is dead. He does this because he was sent by his father, and as such, this was not depicted as being an ultimately good or evil act.
In the first Matrix film, Morpheus explains that Neo's "body" is a digital construct created by his mind known as a "residual self-image," rather than an actual flesh-and-blood human body.
Cypher seems to think humanity's loss to the Machines is a foregone conclusion. He harbors resentment against Morpheus for forcing him to join a seemingly hopeless fight.
However, neither Neo nor Morpheus knew the whole truth – that The One was part of an endless loop set in motion by the machines themselves. It was thanks to this cycle that Neo became the one, having be predestined to do so.
With his greater experience and slightly higher kung-fu skill, Morpheus could likely edge Trinity in a scrap. Naturally, Morpheus doesn't compare to Neo, but if he did, Laurence Fishburne's character never would've come looking for The One in the first place.
Even with Neo growing into The One, Morpheus is able to take him on and defeat him multiple times, despite him later finding it impossible to defeat any one of the Agents he then comes up against.
Trinity, seeing Neo die in the real world while his mind is still in the Matrix, tells his evidently lifeless body that the Oracle had foretold that she would fall in love with the One. When kissed by Trinity, Neo comes back to life, finally fully emerging as the One.
Warner Bros. has officially confirmed the development of "Matrix 5," marking a significant return to the iconic sci-fi franchise. This upcoming installment will be the first without the directing duo, Lana and Lily Wachowski, who have been instrumental in shaping the series since its inception.
The actor said in 2020 that he had “not been invited” to reprise his role (via New York Magazine). The Matrix: Resurrection's story ultimately made sense of the surprising decision to recast Morpheus, but that doesn't necessarily mean leaving out Fishburne was the right move for the film.
But the implications are pretty clear: Zion was destroyed and Morpheus was killed because he led as though their struggles were over. As if Neo parleying with the machines and defeating Smith solved all their problems.
Desire hates Dream because they desire to be like Dream and wish the Threshold was more like the Dreaming. Not only does Desire hate that Dream looks down upon them despite dreams merely being "echoes of desire and despair," but Desire also aspires to be like Dream is to others.
The reason why Death didn't intervene to help Dream when he was captured is never addressed by The Sandman. Perhaps the obvious reason is that Death, like Dream and the rest of the Endless, is bound by her duties and responsibilities to every living being in the universe.
There are, however, a few crucial differences — the first being that, in the show, Calliope was once Morpheus's wife, rather than just his lover. In the original comics, the two were never married.
