In another Matrix reference again harkening to cinematographer Bill Popes experiences shooting the trilogy the villains main plot is explained in a similar style to Agent Smiths during Reloadeds Burly Brawl. Namely, much as avatars of Smith keep appearing out of nowhere to finish each others sentence during a rant about purpose, all the blankified major characters similarly step out of the darkness in a panning shot which looks remarkably similar. The fact that their monologue is also speaking about the need for unified whole can also be seen as a sly wink to the Wachowskis' series.
