wait for it, it's worth it.

There was a road like this in Delta, CO. But instead of it ending in a gently caress Your Car swamp (or whatever that is), the road went from paved, to dirt, to empty field so gradually that you would forget you started on a road, and could get lost in said field at night.

A side of Schadenfreude:

Sean Connery turned down the part of Morpheus in The Matrix because he didn't understand what the gently caress was going on in the script.

Then he turned down the part of Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings movies because he didn't understand what the gently caress was going on in the script.

Then he took the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen job because he didn't understand what the gently caress was going on in the script, and apparently that's a good sign for a film.

Then he quit acting forever.

It blows my mind that Lord of The Rings went over his head but Zardoz was fine.

this isnt the IIMM thread, but the whole matrix system was programmed really badly and basically only had random pointers to work with so it took a while to figure out which pointer was Mr. Anderson and which physical slime-casket body was Neo. It's not for nothing that the thread is called "The Matrix's engine was built by Bethesda".

tl;dr: 3 answers- It tried to kill him, thought he was already dead, and ultimately didn't need to anyway.

Because they're all still in the Matrix, including the robots even though they don't know it. That's why Neo's powers worked in the "real world" at the end of Reloaded. He's the original architect that created a Matrix within a Matrix after the nuclear wars darkened the skies. He's unknowingly forcing the humans and the A.I. to work out their poo poo while waiting for the 10 thousand year nuclear winter to pass, keeping everyone in stasis until man and machine figure out a way to get along.

That's my theory, anyways.

Bizarrely I was just having the exact same though two days ago. Especially considering when they Smith in the 1st movie talks about how the original matrix was a utopia (that the people rejected) - and for the first time it me of the garden of eden parable, which lead to the theory that 'the world of the real' is actually itself in the first matrix.

Rather than mess with the refugee boats themselves which would get them absolutely hosed up the arse by the long cock of the law, they have decided that any time a distress signal is sent out from a refugee boat, they will use their own boat to block the coast guard from leaving port to save them. Blocking a boat in port has far less severe consequences.

Imagine racists using their lifted bro trucks to block an ambulance or fire truck from leaving their station to go to the part of town where poor black people live when a building full of people is on fire and people are dying. That's what you have going on here. Except on water.

Actually, it worse than that - imagine a pack of racists who say, "We want poor black people to burn to death rather than live in our country and are prepared to block off the local fire station with a big truck to ensure every time there is a fire, those people will die. We don't own a big truck, but here's our Patreon so you can help us buy one" and then they get so many hundreds of thousands of dollars from racists around the country that they meet their goal in a matter or weeks and actually go and buy their murder truck.

The difference is that firefighters wouldn’t stand for that poo poo.
