»Female agents«

Female agents would definitely be more efficient. They could use "sex as a weapon".

Your'e presuming quite a bit... We wouldn't need to use the 'sex thing' now would we?

Just some nicely placed kicks or punches would bring you to your knees...

Kids - "Don't try this at home...."

Of course we should have equality for agents....

Another Smith, what do you think about Agent Smith using sex as a weapon?

I for one would have no complaints - I'd be up for being in the firing line ALL THE TIME

Agents are Archetypal bad guys. Therefore, they should be male. Althought there could be female programs that work for the Machines, they would be something else.

Something else? .... ....

Like the Archetypal BAD GIRL?

I'm sure there are plenty of us about

Female villians are typically seductresses, i.e. Persephone.

Agents are supposed to be "cookie-cutter", bland, stalwart-citizen like characters; 'typical characters; i.e. White, Brown hair, clean-cut, suit, sunglasses, Anglo-saxon names like Smith, Brown, Thompson, and MALE.

A female agent would stand out, defeating the whole "cookie-cutter" look.

Female villians are just usually some sort of seductress.

I voted "no". Why would the computer behind The Matrix make female agents? They are not good enough, and male agents is stronger. I think...

sort of applicable is this quote

"do you think my being stronger or faster has anything to do with my muscles...in this place"

agents are merely shells...the shells themselves have no bearing on the power/speed of them...it is the programmes they contain that do

That may be so... BUT this is The Matrix we're talking about here - Female Agents can be just as 'perfect' as Male...

woman agents would SUCK

if you catch my drift

Hmmm - Stooping to all-time lows...? !

No way -

This is more my Agents style

nah..give me plain old

as opposed to



or

Well YOU Mr. An - om - aly, are not the female in question...
You have a 10 second head start .... .... .... .... 3 ...2 ....1 ....coming ready or not..

oh mummy....AAAHHHH...RUN

*Another Smith Rampage*

That's it - It will be over soon....

I like the way you think Another Smith.

Females can be just as good Agents as males... probably better!

I sure as hell could kick some male agent arse (But of course I would never do that to dear Smith. No, no, no.)

I think a female Agent might be good just because of moral issues that would follow...I mean....you cant beat a woman....thats just not right...

Hmmm...but if a ''Agent Candy'' was to be introduce in maybe Matrix 4 or animatrix 2 I hope they don't make it about ''Girl Power'' I get alerges when I hear ''Girl Power'' Mentioned. Don't get me wrong I am all for equal rights and stuff but man....so many feminists here (Iceland) misinterpret what feminism is about and state that Woman are better then man, not equal....

P.S I was going to write Agent Cindy but accidently wrote Candy....which sound much better.

Agent: A Candy...Agent Candy.
Morpheus: you all look the same to me..well, give us a kiss then.

Personally I think females would make better agents.

1. They can be just as good as the men
2. They have the added advantage of using charm and seduction
3. Some chauvinistic men will assume they have the upper hand... then Whamo!
4. Women are equal in all aspects of the Matrix, it is logical to assume there are female agents too, just none that featured in the trilogy
5. Women Agents = Sexy and dangerous.


(and 6, for the ladies.. women agents rule because we get first shot at men agents! yum yum, pass a Smith clone!)

I know one thing for sure..
I'D MAKE A DAMN GOOD FEMALE AGENT...and like you said Deakes - There are the fringe benefits to take into consideration

Me too!

The female of the species is more deadlier then the male, after all...

Except for the Human species....

I'd be interested to see how the answers changed on this poll if it were phrased "would you LIKE to see female agents in further matrix stories". Initially I was thinking the bias towards "no" was due to sexism and that perhaps the extremist feminists were right after all (note "extremist"). Then I realised that many of those "no"'s will be because (i) there won't be any more matrix movies (ii) the wachowskis haven't had any female agents yet so why would they add them in now? (iii) little point of my own - the women turn into male agents for goodness sake!

I think female agents would be great, but I think that the chances of the Wachowskis or the comic book writers adding them in is pretty unlikely. Missed opportunity for all of them I say!

There will be one (at least) in my comic strip!
