So I was reading over things, and I realized.
The Matrix Trilogy is a blueprint. To become an Uber Mensch, you do the following:
"1. By his will to power, manifested destructively in the rejection of, and rebellion against, old ideals and moral codes;
2. By his will to power, manifested creatively in overcoming nihilism and re-evaluating old ideals or creating new ones.
3. By a continual process of self-overcoming." - Also sprach Zarathustra by Nietszche
That's the outline for the movies. In the first movie, Neo escapes the Matrix. In the second movie, it is stated that all of the previous "Ones" chose to meld themselves into the Matrix and rebuild Zion. Neo chooses to do the opposite. In the third movie, Neo sacrifices himself, overcoming the odds of defeating Smith (which is said in the first movie "He is you"). How he does it is an entirely different can of philosophical worms.
God damn this is fun. Can't wait to decode "V for Vendetta", the next 'Brothers' movie.
