    Same with Fallout fans who are a bit too into the Brotherhood of Steel. “What is it you like about them, exactly? The suits or the xenophobia?”

  Why wouldn’t they have made the simulation awesome for everyone? Of course if you make it shitty some people might start to wonder about battery pod life in the cave.

    Iirc in the first movie they say that the 1st version of the matrix was utopia, but the people got bored and rejected the world

        It was also part of a villain speech, so not a reliable narrator.

    Or it’s a plothole. I might have seen the matrix twice, and don’t know how tightly designed it is.
