I find interesting how all these problems come from the Wachowskis having to change their original concept: the machines would use human brains as processors, not "humans as batteries". It was far more logical and explained better why they couldn't just exterminate humans. Some executive thought the concept was too complicated and asked them to change it, so everything had to be changed around the "power source" concept, which I think never really worked all that well. Sometimes, ambiguity keeps the murky nature of an origin story alive, thus the lore around it feels mystical, and the intrigue remains. I feel the copper top idea was ruined by The Second Renaissance. (I wish they'd retcon it, and do it over.) I'm really interested in the original concept, now that you mention it. I'd love to see how that idea would have played out. |
