    Sorry, I meant that just as a general "do you think?" question to you and anybody, then gave my answer as part of my answer to the thread's overarching question. (what happens when you write on the train)

    Well if they'll just keep bringing him back, the stunt (dying) is getting lame now. Although in the latest comics version (IDW) Prime has yet to kick the bucket. Although, there's been a whole other cast of characters that have been welcomed back to the Matrix.... other than O. Prime. Do you think the writers of IDW noticed that the Prime death is getting overused and somewhat, somehow am avoiding it coz of how it has diminished the nobility of the act? I mean every single time Prime will die... it's just getting so predictable now.. even TF Prime - he had to sacrifice. Thank goodness that wasn't the case in TF Animated.

    But yeah, each time he dies it just gets lamer and lamer... now for the death of Prime in the comics - gruesome as it is (except the floppy disc one) NOW THAT is WHAT DEATH should be! Grand, viscious, truly epic and the more gruesome it is the more noble I guess since if you (Prime) knew that it will that painful, horrific and downright ugly and yet he still goes thru it, because it MUST be the only recourse.... then that is a noble sacrifice.

    I still can't get my head around that a cut in the side even if it is a focal point just doesn't emphasized it at all. Coz you've seen him get blown, hacked into pieces and even more in all the other cartoon episodes and yet a small cut and he goes - pass the Matrix?!?! meh, lame.... mebbe a few more sparks and explosions and some short circuit scenes would've helped.

    They should've gotten Bay to direct the movie.
