First matrix. Trinity is much more skilled than Neo until the final act.
Similarly - Edge of Tomorrow Emily Blunt is skilled and trains Tom Cruise until he's competent enough to save the world. By the end they're both extremely competent. Only reason Tom Cruise saves the world and not her is due to the timeloops. She'd already done it once.
I wish they had followed the original story. The ending is very different.
Do you mind spoiling us please?
They both still loop in the story. Before killing the big bad they fight to the death because the loop will keep repeating unless there is only one mimic (the reset aliens and both of them) at the end of the day.
He kills her and the other mimics then the big boss. Ending the loop at the cost of her life.
I am extremely happy they didn't end the movie that way, what an unnecessarily depressing ending
Depressing endings are so rare in movies that I, personally, often enjoy them for the novelty if nothing else.
Then the same but in reverse in Matrix 4 but no one should watch that shitshow
