However, there could be a fairly simple explanation there: Morpheus dies in the MMO game The Matrix Online. That specific event in the game is considered canon because the writer-directors, the Wachowskis, gave their approval to the game.

They really are trying to milk everything out of that franchise and doing a terrible job at doing so.
My understanding is that’s deliberate. The Wacowskis were done with The Matrix, the original trilogy (+ Animatrix) was the complete package. But the powers that be demanded more to milk the franchise, and when the Wacowskis tried to push back, the higher-ups said they would do it with or without them. So the Wacowskis are deliberately sabotaging the sequels, and good on em.
The fourth movie was written by one of the Wachowskis as a metaphor for their own transition, as a creative outlet during a grieving period after the death of their parents.
I thought the original trilogy was supposed to be the metaphor for transitioning.
At least that’s what the Wachowskis themselves and the Internet say.
As I recall them saying, they felt that way maybe in retrospect? They hadn’t transitioned in real life by then, so that’s getting pretty subconscious at that point. At the time, the metaphors that were clear were about dreams, the savior allegory, a sense of not mattering as a cog in the machine, and so forth.
I think modern society and technology may have played a role, too.
Did you watch the movie? It’s not a metaphor, it flatly states it’s just a money grab.
I did. Its cynicism about making another Matrix movie is well-noted and some of the most fascinating things about that movie, but it’s also a protagonist swap between Neo and Trinity, which makes a ton of sense for the trans metaphor. It can be cynical about the realities of making the movie and still not be sabotage. And also it was only written by one of the two Wachowskis.
I’m still not sure why this is in the games community.
I guess he canonically dies in a videogame, which is a reason they might not bring him back
Because in videogame Deus Ex was better ha (and Max Payne)
Franchise?

It was a single word,
Franchise?. Getting a sarcastic answer is absolutely expected.It was a joke, because everything after the first movie might as well not exist. Apparently it wasn’t received.
