This is what the Matrix should have been about.
Finally we can live in the 90s again.
Arguably, the best decade we had.
Fucking batteries?!?! This makes so much more sense.
Maybe they needed more energy and manipulate the brain cells to grow humans.
Can you not?
I read somewhere that when they were envisioning the storyline for The Matrix, the original idea was supposed to be that human grey matter powered it in a computational sense. This kind of tracks, given the brain can perform outstanding feats running at a measly 20 watts or whatever it is, but somehow the story got distorted into its eventual form in which the human body is acting as a grossly inefficient battery.
And it would explain why Neo is able to modify the Matrix: it’s partly running inside his head.
But no, it’s an urban legend, it was supposed to be batteries from the first draft.
Isn’t this how alita got her brain?
