Online section

Seriously wtf is the "Online" section doing in this article? Definitely needs to be deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.191.236.136 (talk) 12:47, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Does anybody have any external corroboration for the Sandman/Matrix Morpheus connection? It seems just a hair farfetched to me. AJD 16:54, 10 Dec 2003 (UTC)

The actor playing Morpheus reminds me of the Clarence Clemons character in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. Anybody else?

What about Morpheus's "toofy" grin? I find that it is clearly reminiscent to the philosophical implications as guide and trickster. This should be included in his page.

See WP:ATT, WP:NOR, and WP:V. Once the Toofy grin meets those fields, consider re-adding it -- ShadowJester07 ►Talk 23:49, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Online

"Morpheus' erratic, nightmarish zealotry has become closer to that of the false terrorist accusations made about him by the Agents during the war" is not an unbiased, neutral statement. "Zealotry" carries enough subjectivity as it is, but "nightmarish" takes this into biased territory. Dra nada (talk) 02:04, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sean Connery

In the DVD extras of The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Sean Connery claims he took the part of Quartermaine because he regretted turning down the part of Morpheus (and Gandalf). Verification and inclusion? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.161.150.205 (talk) 19:46, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The dream is gone for him

In this section, it mentions Jason Lock, however in The Matrix character page, Lock is spelled with an "e" at the end, LOCKE. Which is the correct spelling?

The correct spelling is "Locke", as in John Locke. It's shown in the script and in the subtitles. Go rez noob.

Trivia

I removed the trivia section. Most of the information in it was interesting, but appeared to me not really relevant to the article as a whole. Jahunta07 08:32, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please Include Real Information

Frankly, I think this article is terrible. I don't go to Wikipedia for an in depth summary of a characters actions throughout the series/plot. If I want that, I watch the movie. There should be a small section summarizing his actions in the piece of work at most, or else small tidbits mentioned when relevant throughout the article. This article should explain the motivations of the authors in creating this character (which it does somewhat unreliably at present) and then provide a variety of interpretations of this character. It should end by explaining the impact of Morpheus's character on popular culture and other artistic endeavors.

Somebody please revise this article. More information about the greek god wouldn't hurt (though obviously one should go to that article for the full details if they want them). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Uvula (talk • contribs) 03:09, 1 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you 100%, Uvula. Feel free to remove big wads of minutiae about the plot if you can replace them with even small amounts of the kind of information you describe, cited to secondary sources. Wikipedia:Manual of Style (writing about fiction) has a list of excellent articles about film characters that may be useful as models. Adrian J.

No pic

Is there a reason that we haven't put a non-free pic of the character's appearance in the films, with a use rationale analogous to that of the one of Neo? --Damian Yerrick (talk | stalk) 00:37, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Moved

"After trying to figure out how Morpheus would look, the Wachowski brothers were constanly at each others necks and could not decide. One day, a young child named Skyler Thomas wandered onto their street and proceeded to annoy them constantly. Finally they told him to go away by promising him cookies. They noticed however, that he had a striking resemblance to Laurence Fishbourne and he was called that evening."

I moved this from the Morpheus section because I believe it neither belongs there, nor does it make much sense. Without a cite, I can't be sure what the author was getting at. If anyone has any insight, it'd be appreciated. —70.105.43.27 (talk) 15:32, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
