Oooooooooooh!

The Wachowski’s original script actually had the humans being used for computation, but the studio thought that was too complicated for viewers to understand, so they changed it to the dumbshit power plant thing that makes no sense.
Geez, that just makes me think of a cooler way the series could have gone if the robots were using human brains for actually sustaining the simulation (like, Neo's superpowers were an example of a single brain changing the simulation itself). So Neo threatening to wake everyone up to reality would be different to just the physical act of yanking their body out of the pod.
If that were the case, it could have been a message about the world being what people want it to be instead of what they blindly accept.

I dunno, maybe I'm just disillusioned with the sequels and would have preferred almost anything else, lol.
