Question in regards to Loyalty...

Before all that it was ok to take chances and pull some crazy stunts case it was "all about the prophecy man..." Then after the "Neb" takes a permanent residence he started to act a little more humbled (that's the way I saw it at least). He didn't question Neo's decision to take off and take Trinity (although we could say to his defense he was just still keeping the faith). But afterwards being the first guy to check and see if the Sentinels were really powered down (or resting?) was a little nuts since no one really knew what the hell was going on in the Matrix until after the Sentinels took off.

Then there was the first scene in MXO where he was talking with the Oracle and he's carrying on about the Machines not giving back Neo's dead body. Ok not exactly the friendliest move by the Mechs but damn Morphy! Now he is gonna start code bombing in the hopes of force awakening (and most likely killing) blue pills?

I think before the code bombings the Zion command thought he was a risk taker and sometimes insubourdinate, after the bombings he just became reckless and dangerous.

I see the change in Morpheus beginning with MxO as you explained. I didn't see it in Revolutions even though he uttered those powerful words "... and now that dream is gone from me". I think he just went from a True Believer of the Prophecy to a True Believer in Neo. Kind of like Niobe; "You never believed in the prophecy" "No, but I believe in him". (Even though we know now that Niobe did believe in the prophecy.)

This is one of the things I didn't like about the MxO storyline. It was a bitter pill I swallowed to immerse in the storyline.
