    Did you know they were supposed to be basically human CPUs, not batteries, but they assumed the audience wouldn’t understand? Stupidest choice ever.

      This fixes that weird plot hole. Thank you!

      My new headcanon is that Morpheus just sucked at explaining it to Neo.

      It’s like in Good Will Hunting when Matt Damon tells Robin Williams he thinks he’s one step from cutting his ear off and Williams responds by asking if he should move to the south of France and change his name to Vincent, because obviously most moviegoers are too dumb to get the original joke.

      The battery part was durring exposition, that is where you explain weird concepts! Then why also continue with that shit excuse in the latest fucking movie. They had the chance in no. 4, they basically had a blank canvas, explain the retcon in one of the many scenes they had to explain strawberries. No they made their choice, back in the first movie, and they kept doubling down. Batteries, even though it makes no fucking sense, they made their bed. PS love the Wachowskis, I still appreciate all they have done to entertain us

      My headcanon is that The Real has a different set of physical laws than our current reality, and humans naturally generate some sort of biomorphic field that can be stored and used to power things. It would explain why Neo was able to stop enemies with his mind there. Another option is that it’s just another layer of the simulation, and the architect did a poor job at writing the narrative.

      I’m enough of a nerd that when they said they were using us for power, I checked out of the story completely. “Oh, they’re morons, no need to pay attention to the dialog…”

      After Philip K Dick, the Matrix movie is like Candyland.

      Let me focus more completely on analyzing what movies they were stealing the shot compositions from.

    One time I woke up first and heard my buddy talk in their sleep. I can’t remember all of it, but I remember they definitely said “If Batman’s still in the basement, I’m fucked.”
