I don't get it. How is a human body supposed to generate more energy than the amount used to grow it...

Just ignore that and pretend they're being used for computing power as was originally intended before dumb american test audiences ruined it

Just fanon the original explanation, that human beings were used as computer chips

Great, now we have THREE different explanations as to why they changed it. Which one is it!?

Due to genetic condition some humans can generate energy out of thin air. Didn't you watch my 600 lbs life? many patients in the show are able to stay at 600+ lbs even with a 1200 kcal/day diet for months.

Hive mind hive mind

Wake up.

I retain water, doctor

I would've loved Morpheus dropping bombs like that throughout the movie. Constantly fucking with Neo's worldview.

Morpheus: HAH NEO YOURE SUCH A NERD JUST SWITCH YOUR BRAIN OFF

That would've been better in my honest opinion.

cows store energy from the sun via grass

So why did he shoot cops instead of putting redpills in their donuts?

I saw this movie for the first time the other day and frankly was underwhelmed by it as a whole. It certainly wasn't bad, but when I looked at how high in regard people hold the Matrix I was very surprised.

>"Combined with a new form of fusion..."

I'll let Rob Lowe explain to you how these things work:

youtu.be/xT7F0eKfctg?t=70

what if they put a turbine in your butt and feed you beans and you fart and spin the turbine and it makes electricity

they don't, they literally explained this in the sequels, there were different factions of machines and not all of them wanted to kill humanity.

Ergo, putting them in pods and keeping them alive yet non threatening.

>watching any but the first one
yikes

Conservation of energy only exists in the matrix.

I know this question has been asked and answered to death but I'll bite.
Seemed silly to not just use batteries or nuclear power [which they almost certainly had access to]
The humans could have been used as a sort of bit mining farm, to try and run small computations to solve problems like reverse entropy or something crazy.

It would be the same with the original star wars if you watched it for the very first time today. Both films were amazing for their time.

Just focus on the fact that humans weren't supposed to be batteries in the movie.

We use cows for electricity?

> implying there's more than just one Matrix movie
You're fake news.

The original idea was that they were using human brains to create a giant neural network but the studio was worried that might be too complicated for the brainlets in the audience.

It's a movie that's why. If you put every movie through rigorous scientific analysis before it could be released, there wouldn't be any movies at all.

I wouldn't really go that far as to compare the two.

It's kind of weird, but in a way I see the Matrix as an end point. The 90's was peppered with various cyberpunk movies and even TV shows of various degrees of mainstream penetration, but it just sort of stopped after the Matrix when it also peaked in terms of popularity. Granted, a lot of people who saw The Matrix had probably never picked up a William Gibson novel in their lives, but I feel like it more or less killed the genre. There were a few movies with typical cyberpunk themes afterwards, like Minority Report, but I view The Matrix as the downward turning point.

Star Wars hardly had the same effect. The 70's was peppered with bleak and even nihilistic dystopian sci-fi so it was more like a breath of fresh air. However, it was definitely groundbreaking in terms of special effect wizardry.

I don't understand how this is confusing at all, you both just explained it in one fucking sentence.

Well apparently a lot of people were confused by the Architect scene too, when all he does is use big words to explain a relatively simple concept. So I dunno, maybe they were right.

yes

I'M THE ONE WHO TALKS

Power Storage! Power Generation

I feel the Architect scene can be confusing to some because it gets overly verbose, but that's how the character was.
I assume the concept that you guys said was on the table at first would have been explained by Morpheus who could have explained it as simply as the explanation he gives in the movie. Should gives audiences a little more credit at least, but then again maybe you are right

Bro those are all pretty much the same response

They liquify the dead, although liquification requires energy too.

It's a spiritual farm, the battery is a metaphor.

>we've clearly passed what the machines considered the golden age
Plug me back to 2001

Their technology is apparently really efficient at drawing as much energy from the body as possible while maintaining the energy spent on feeding systems at minimum. Just handwave it like that.
