- Already__Taken 12y agoHow would that script have ended? With humans required for computing power there's no way the machines give up their existence to release the humans. At least I can imagine them using alternate power sources with collaboration for the humans. Cleaning the sky for example.
- maxerickson 12y agoThey could still cooperate. The movies even had a human character who, having been given freedom, chose the Matrix. (there could also be reasons for trade; maybe the humans spend time in the Matrix in exchange for energy or whatever)
- TeMPOraL 12y agoHumans could volunteer their brain power for some periods of time and both men and the machines could focus on rebuilding after the war and manufacturing enough processing power for the machines to live alongside mankind.
- snarfy 12y agoTIL. That one concept if carried through the movies changes a lot.
- TeMPOraL 12y agoWith that little tweak the movie could be almost the same, except it would make actual sense.
