In the final fight between Neo and Smith, Smith absorbs Neo and then blows up. Why did this happen?
I've heard some theories suggest that it was because Smith fulfilled his purpose and the system deleted him. But I have 2 problems with this:
- Smith normally didn't play by the rules and didn't listen to the Matrix, for example he came back from death once before.
- This makes for a poor story because that means at any time if Neo lost to Smith, the same results would happen and the Matrix would get rebooted. For example, if Neo had died in the first movie after he was shot then wouldn't the ending be the same?
Whatever the reason was that Smith blew up, was it necessary for him to absorb Neo or could he have just killed him?
