This is a metaphor, a Christian allegory. The fact that I have to explain to you that Jesus is the Warthog, and the Banana is drepanocytosis is just embarrassing for you.

Getting plugged back into The Matrix is like saying "Yeah I don't like this whole electricity and internet thing".

Yeah you have to ride around in a hovership and listen Teethy McSpaceBetweenThem and eat white goop. But on your time off you get to do all kinds of poo poo.

Major plothole in Cypher's motivations, IMO.

I'm going to consider writing a remake script on spec.

These guys were cool. I don't want to research their backstory because it will spoil the magic.

Think about it on both ends though, do aliens even have ships that could concievably attach their human stock and brainwipe it or whatever? It has been generations. They don't capture humans and attach them anymore they breed them in an internal system. Cypher was probably just going to be killed outright. But his nostalgia was real. For one, his job isn't one of the jobs that lets him do tons of cool cyberman stuff, but even when he does, it's tense, life threatening work, it's the life of a soldier. He knows his real body is in a coccoon the ruins of mankind constantly fleeing machines. That really, really sucks, you gotta be a goddamn communist guerilla sort of dedicated to a cause for that to not wear on you, and clearly it wears on everyone in zion, as apocalyptic orgy raves are pretty likely to just spontaneously break out for a political rally.

Trinity learns how to fly a helicopter while inside the matrix, but I'll never know why someone who can pilot an electromagnetically powered hovercraft couldn't fly a helicopter.

Talking about all the things wrong with these movies and all the things that could have improved is a waste of time, hopefully someone revisits the concept now that VR and AR technology are taking off again.

That one girl in the movie that Cypher killed was named "Switch" and it was because she could switch her mouth from being off a dick to being on a dick as fast as Matrixers (the ones in suits I forget their name) move.

Basically all the wiminz in The Matrix do is bad acting.

Like lol Trinity. Just because you Cersei'd yourself into knowing you love The One and he's a dead man doesn't mean you can't smile once in awhile.

Anyhow, back to The Switcher 3.

Hate to poo poo in the soup here but if there was a matrix it would actually be real :airquote: because entropy dictates that any simulation as complex as reality would ultimately reach heat death as it approaches the voltage of the earths core, at which point it would simply give way to reality. But hey I'm not scientits. :shrug:
Just refresh my memory, what voltage is the earths core?

If you eat the white goop and live in a cave you get to lose your virginity for real and if you stay in the matrix all you get to do is pretend you have sex for your entire life.

it's a story constraint because if they could just drop out of the matrix safely any time they wanted then nothing would ever present any threat to them except instant death from total surprise which makes for a really short movie

Given that the magic all seems to happen when they plug some gigantic cord into your skull anyway I'd put forward that this is probably something humans could learn how to do in the real world if they had the resources and the time.

Edit- Tho it's gonna be pretty funny when you try out your new awesome skills at dodging bullets and poo poo and your regular fat body that has never worked a day in its life just leaves you sprawled all over the floor like a low rent star wars kid.

Here's the thing about making GBS threads into a bucket: would you be able to poo poo into a bucket if you were being pursued by metal cthulu creatures that want to grind you into gibs. Would you be able to pinch a loaf knowing that you might die at any second and you'd die while making GBS threads.
