  Studio executives made the decision, you know… because there hasn’t be a long list of projects they’ve fucked over the years with their notes. 🙄

    I feel so bad for the people who remade The Thing because the studio executives literally forced them to make everything CGI.

      And IIRC it was after they had made a bunch of practical effects, so it’s not like it was saving them money or anything. The execs literally just said “re-do these parts but worse”.

      Sort of a remake, sort of a prequel.

  Morpheus is the only one we ever hear the battery analogy from anyway. He might well be wrong about that interpretation, and the brain processors are what’s really going on.

    My headcanon is that he tried the more technical and correct explanation, but most people he told it to started to go a bit glassy-eyed during that part, so he simplified his pitch.

      The showing of the battery is a good visual to sell the explanation too, regardless of it not making sense “realistically”

    I believe Switch refers to Neo as coppertop at some point which would be the battery analogy as well too.

      They’ve probably all heard the speech at some point. Except those born at Zion.

        Also there’s plenty of precedent for everyone being wrong, like everything revolving around Earth.

  The real reason is the machines are using all the human brains to fake generative AI responses to keep share prices going up in line with their original programming.

  The humans blocked out the sun, and probably dashed all other power sources available to the Machines. What you have left are self-replicating humans. Makes sense to keep them alive and farm them just enough to tide you over before their next breeding cycle

    How do you farm anything without the sun?

      They just eat the other humans remains, duh!

      that’s what they did, I guess got food from indoor farms?

        That takes a ton of electricity. How do you power the indoor farms?
