March 28, 2016 : Agent Smith: The Real ‘The One’?
Apparently it isn’t that new, but there is a fan theory that claims Agent Smith was the True ‘One’. I can’t say I really buy into it, but it’s interesting nonetheless. Plus, I’m always game to hear somebody talk about The Matrix. An older (written) argument for this hypothesis can be found here.
The big problem for me with fan theories is they are extrapolated opinions, which take liberties with the creator’s intentions. They are often fun to read but can turn obnoxious in the comments section when disagreeing parties take offense. Still, when well conceived and executed, they can make one think. Or at the very least, kill some time.
