Why is the crew of the Nebuchadnezzar so excited to see Neo fight Morpheus in the sparring program?
If Morpheus is right, and Neo is the One, he should be able to bend the unreality of the Matrix to his will. He should be able to do things the rest of them have only dreamt of. He should be faster, stronger, almost a superhero in the Matrix. This is where they hope to see the first glimpse of his capabilities.
