The Matrix Resurrections: 25 WTF Moments

19. The Analyst's Cat Is Named Deja-Vu

The Matrix Resurrections
Warner Bros.

Neo sees a therapist while in the Matrix, known only as the Analyst (Neil Patrick Harris).

The Analyst is ultimately revealed to be the film's overarching antagonist, using the guise of therapy to basically gaslight Neo into staying blissfully ignorant in the Matrix and also trying to narcotise him with blue pills.

When trying to persuade Neo that his dreams of his past life are delusions, he says, "Even your dislike of my cat made it into your Matrix," at which point we see that the Analyst's cat is of course named "Deja-Vu." Screw it, why the hell not?
