"I am just another guy" makes no sense


Why would Neo think he's 'just another guy' after the Oracle TOLD HIM HE HAS THE GIFT?

Hello?

Does every 'ordinary guy' HAVE THE GIFT?!

This makes no sense.. it's so frustrating when movies have characters this stupid. How can Neo think he can both HAVE THE GIFT and at the same time, NOT be 'the One'? Oracle never said he's not 'The One', the Oracle only said 'looks like you are waiting for something'.

How can he interpret THAT as 'I am just another guy'?? WHAT?? HOW?!

The TRUE interpretation would have been 'I AM the One, but because I am waiting for something, the GIFT that I definitely have, is in a latent mode. Now I only need to figure out how to awaken it and stop waiting for something'.

But no, in Neo's ridiculously stupid mind, this is interpreted as 'I am just another guy, because all 'just another guys' have THE GIFT and are simultaneously 'waiting for something'.

WHAT kind of sense does that make? Huh??

BEWARE! Avortac4 is a troll trying to waste everyone's time with such idiotic comments. Look at his posts. He doesn't think anything in any film makes sense. His post may seem like it makes sense in the first sentence or two. But he always quickly wanders off into a completely idiotic idea, and then writes a wall of text that makes no sense. And his sole purpose is to waste your time, thinking he's cute for doing so. Don't feed the troll. If you write a comment, you're giving this troll EXACTLY what he wants. Don't comment after my comment.
