I am curious what the machines are up to outside the Matrix. Has this become their purpose? All of them just security guards like Smith, stuck in this prison to keep the inmates from revolting? Or has the destruction of the planet been so bad that this is a comfortable existence in comparison?

Also, highly recommend Malignant as a blind watch. The reveal in the last third and the follow through is loving wildly insane and fun.

Machines are not inherently bad in the Matrix multiverse. Agents are virii, according to canon.

Exploration is ill-advised.
Now I wanna see a machine who logs into the Matrix like a MMO to roleplay as a human.

Agents are just white blood cells basically, autonomous units that do their thing without machine oversight. Agent Smith is a cancerous cell that is destroying everything. The Machines ask neo, a virus, to kill the cancer to save the system.

I missed star wars chat by a couple of pages I think but of course the disney movies are bad - it's by design so they can cash in on the rerelease/directors cuts in a few years

They realized it wasn't sustainable to keep churning out movies before they went to poo poo, and right then Mandalorian was a huge hit more or less on accident so they threw all their money at TV shows

I watched "Kate" on NetFlix over the weekend. It's got more than a little orientalist view of Japan, but some of the shots of Tokyo are gorgeous, and the fight cinematography is great. Would recommend.

Don't get your hopes up, there will always be enough nerds to sustain some kind of Star Trek franchise no matter how bad it gets. Any property that lasts long enough for multiple generations to grow up with it will be very difficult to kill.

Ah, I see you've read my Matrix 5 script where one of the robots decides to help the resistance because he just wants to be a dancer but he was built to be a poop harvester.

Being one of those robots is looking more and more like sweet deal.



The virtual world that all the humans are contained in would be a pretty entertaining reality tv show.
That or the robots probably have their own version of Trashy Wifu Phone games.


Did they ever give any numbers to how much energy the robots needrd to how many humans they have.
Wait. looked it up. https://scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/12249/how-many-people-are-in-the-matrix
6.5 billion people. Are plugged into the matrix.

:thunk::mason::brainworms::tinfoil::thunkher:
have the federal government seize the Star Trek IP and then fund a few dozen simultaneously running series produced in various states

at least a handful of those will be decent, which is more than what we get out of current trek
