History Film / TheMatrixResurrections

* AmbiguouslyBi: It's strongly implied that Niobe is now in a relationship with the scientist Freya. In the previous trilogy Niobe was in a relationship with Locke and had previously dated Morpheus. Her scene with Persephone in the Enter the Matrix game implied that her true love was Morpheus

* AliceAllusion: As per ''Matrix'' tradition, a ''Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland'' theme is consistent.

** Tiffany's husband is named [[WebOriginal/VirginVsChad Chad]]. Chad is often the term used by the incel community to refer to the sort of men that women prefer over them. It's also the actor's name. In a film already so postmodern, it practically requests the viewer see meaning in regard to Chad Stahelski's history vis-a-vis The Matrix films.

* BatmanGambit: [[spoiler: It's eventually revealed that Neo subconsciously created his modal and the Morpheus Program as a means of fighting back against the Analyst and getting out of the Matrix again. While Morpheus was meant to become self-aware and seek out and free his creator, however, Neo ''couldn't'' actually release his would-be savior from the modal himself or actively guide his development. As Neo was under constant surveillance, he knew doing so would have only attracted the Analyst's attention and tipped his hand. To work around this, Neo's subconscious instead intentionally left the modal in plain sight, its access open, and the simulation running off old Matrix code. Neo's hope was that someone (presumably from Zion) would eventually notice the strange anachronistic code, investigate the modal, and free Morpheus. It works (though it ultimately helps that Bugs had, by chance, encountered Neo before she was unplugged and was already obsessively seeking any sign or clue of the One's apparent resurrection. When the Analyst finally realizes what happened, he begrudgingly concedes Neo's plan was clever.]]

* FightingFromTheInside: [[spoiler:Despite the Analyst's suppression of his memories, Neo subconsciously realized he was back in the Matrix against his will and retaliated. The modal and Morpheus Program was Neo's escape plan -- a Program meant to eventually achieve sentience, seek out its creator, and lead him back into the Real World if his suspicions were correct. Bugs also realizes Neo subconsciously ''had'' to leave the modal open and hope someone would eventually discover and free Morpheus (since doing it himself would've risked attracting attention and tipping his hand).]]
