Yo he finna doin his superman thang

Why didn't the Machines just use nuclear power?
I mean the Matrix itself must cost a fortune energy-wise to run. It's obviously not worth it.

>>212411494
in the matrix the line is "<humans they're growing> combined with a form of fusion provide all the energy they need"

>>212411602
fusion alone provides all the energy anyone would ever need, ever.
a nearby fusion reaction literally provides all the energy our entire planet needed for billions of years.
the "humans as batteries" part of the Matrix makes no sense and is the weakest part of the movie.

>>212411664
it's a vague handwave line because it doesn't matter to the crux of the story and only autistic people get hung up on it. though they made it worse with the sequelslop retcons tbf

>>212411773
>the entire reason the world is the way it is
>doesn't matter to the crux of the story
you're retarded

>>212411818
what you're describing is the setting. the story is about man overcoming platos cave and "raging against the machine" (lol)
how the setting came to be (ie worldbuilding) is not generally critical to the story

>>212411943
>the entire reason why the characters are doing the things they're doing doesn't matter
you're retarded.

ay yo it's my nigga Neil from the matricks

>>212412046
ok tismo, you should pay attention when you get to high school english class

>>212411664
"the mind makes it real" is the rock bottom though

>>212412131
>my burnout high school English teacher said so!
you're retarded.

>>212411943
>overcoming plato's cave
He's not though. Everything he discovers is fed to him by morpheus and co. He has not gained the means by which to ascertain truth, just outsourced it to (hopefully) more trustworthy people

>>212409920 (OP)
why didn't he just fly the one ring into mount doom?

>>212411664
it's not only used for energy, but also for "creativity". kinda like a cpu in a computer.

>>212412340
>here's my headcanon bro
ok

>>212412391
Watch Matrix 4 retard

>>212411494
My theory is that the humans tasked the machines with creating a perfect simulated reality for them as an escape, and so keeping humans in the matrix is actually what the machines were programmed to do.

>>212412497
>He watched The Matrix Trannyrections
LMAOOOOOOOOO

>>212412497
>watch the bullshit cash-in that sucked from over 20 years later
no.

>>212412678
>>212412958
It was both good and bad
It's a good movie if you remove the tranny psychosis elements

>>212411664
Those who are asleep have their energy loosh harvested and when they wake up it is a constant battle against the harvesters.

>>212411494
original plot was that humans were used as processing units in datacenters
producers said no one would get it in 1999 and to be fair they were probably right

>>212411494
The only time the humans-are-batteries thing crops up is when Morpheus mentions it, which later movies establish as being wrong on most of his beliefs.

Switch calls Neo "coppertop" before he's extracted

Zion is another level of the matrix. The real world is some garden paradise. This would perfectly line up with the themes of control, predestination, expectation and illusion.

>>212409920 (OP)
The sequels didn't happen in my timeline, only the original
any questions about this timeline?

What does finna mean

>>212417370
finite time remaining

>>212412203
