The only one I remember was the kid jumping off the building. What others were there?
I can’t believe there was never a scandal about the short that suggests you can leave “The Matrix” by jumping to your death.
tetris11 got it, the sprinter from World Record.
Essentially, he's such a top tier athlete, so determined, that he... breaks through the veil of 'reality', in his pursuit of greatness.
Whereas the kid... has an incredibly certain sense of belief in ... more or less, the idea of Neo as a transcended individual, as a kind of means of attaining his own transendence.
... MxO went into more of these methods of either escaping or becoming aware of the Matrix, independently, as basically class build archetypes...
But I have absolutely no idea what the 'canon' status of any of it is, at this point.
Probably just 'not canon', I don't know.
Its also doubly confusing because back when MxO was running... different server shards actually experienced different 'storylines', due to there being a ... roughly every 3 or 6 month ... sort of faction competition for which variant of a major plot point would play out in which way.
So... these different shards all experienced kind of fundentally opposed 'canons'.
... but nobody remembers any of that, these days.
But at the same time....we are our choices and our memories.
Its also possible that... MxO, or a sequel to it was the video game that Neo was working on in Matrix 4.
So... who knows, really, hahah!
