What was his fucking problem?

It's just smell.

He was a faulty program that didn't understand that humans were batteries, but thought the Matrix could suffer pollution and therefore thought the simulation was like a virus.

He had trouble coping with the fact he was gunna be the most iconic and evilest villain since darth vader

>>80135985
he was there when the strength of men failed

>>80135985
they were after his prize

>>80135985
the virus of humanity, duh

A.I wanted to be human.

He was the actual One. Neo is powerful yes, but he's still just a human in the matrix. When Smith has reached his full power, he IS the matrix.

>>80135985
He had a revelation when he tried to classify the human species and realized that we're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but we humans do not. We move to an area and we multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way we can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. A virus. He realised that human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. We are a plague and he was the cure.

He stole a loaf of bread.

>>80136324
But he knew humans were in the tanks and the humans in the matrix were just a simulation so they couldn't be like a virus.

MISTERANDERSON!!!!!!

>>80136361
He didnt care about the simulations. He hated Neo and the others, who for all intents and purposes were actual humans even when they were in the Matrix. He hated the fact that humans on some level rejected every iteration of the Matrix; even when the Matrix was purposefully made a perfect simulation, human brains rejected it. In the end he decided that the only perfect Matrix would be one without humans, one he controlled. Basically, he was an AI program gone off the rails, able to develop himself until he could fulfill his goal of a "perfect", orderly Matrix, but destroying it in the process.

He hated niggers

>>80136324

I don't know why you have to make up and contradict your own fake definition of mammals to say that he thought humans are unnatural because they interrupt equilibrium.

>>80136324
>Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment

That completely wrong. Mammals eat and reproduce until there's nothing left. Every species are just evolved worms

>>80136037
He really was a great villain, too bad the sequels didn't use him as well as they could've.

The Matrix was essentially a human zoo. The machines didn't need people in order to power themselves, they could have achieved that goal a lot more simply. The energy provided by humans' body heat and biofeedback was just a positive byproduct of their captivity. What it came down to was the fact that humans were too violent to be allowed freedom and too stubborn to be allowed knowledge of their bondage. At the same time, the machines couldn't justify stooping to humanity's level and just exterminating an entire species. So instead they built the Matrix, an artificial paradise where all of humankind could live in happiness without harming anybody besides their own.

The only problem was that humans couldn't accept a utopian dreamland; without suffering, they'd perpetually be trying to wake up and escape. In response, the machines built a Matrix defined by rules and adversity. Their keepers - Smith, in this case - eventually came to the realization that the Matrix was a self-reproducing petri dish that just prolonged humanity's pain and suffering with no rational end in sight. As a tool who realized he'd been constructed to serve a purposeless task without the possibility of resolution, Smith went insane. He came to the conclusion that the only way to fulfill the job he'd been created to do was to get out of the program and wipe out humankind.

No agent Smith was right, only humans and viruses behave this way

>>80135985

He wasn't content with being the grand pooba sheriff of the Matrix, he was a sentient virus who wanted out. He wanted to stomp out the redpilled human menace that had bothered him for so long.

>>80138308
It's just anthropomorphizing his thought process to make it appear more palatable. I'm sure Smith's conclusion was driven by a rationale that was compatible with his original programming. He had been built to keep humanity safe and in captivity, but the Matrix was a fucking cesspool of meaningless pain and suffering. However, giving humans more freedom within the Matrix or flat out releasing them from it would just cause even more destruction.

So he decided euthanizing everybody was the only practical solution.

Maybe the machines got some scientific value on humans by having the matrix, like we humans use petri-dishes for bacteria to study?

So if Smith 'won', what would happen to the machines? Would they just delete The Matrix, or would they be under an actual threat from Smith as well?

You are thinking of that fight scene where they jump at each other and Neo's fist is in front of Agent Smith's face and Neo extends his fingers and chokes Smith's for half a second.

>>80141336
They might, but it'd be purely academic and have no significant bearing on their own existence.

It's like how you might regard a zoologist who studies pandas eating bamboo and occasionally fucking.

>>80141398
I dont think they can delete the matrix, they need that to keep the humans from waking up/dying. Smith would probably infect the other machine systems eventually wiping them out or isolating them from their power source.

Why the fuck do the robots need human batteries?

They clearly have the technological capacity to get satellites into orbit and its stated that they used to use solar power. Right now we're getting wireless power, and these fagots are 100's of years more advanced. So how come they need batteries? Just get a few thousand solar satellites into orbit and problem solved, no need to enslave humanity.


Furthermore why do they have/need some kind of city? They're essentially all software right? Wouldn't they be perfectly comfortable turning Ceres into a giant hard-drive or something? Get a giant hard drive going and problem solved, no need to come into conflict with humanity since neither of you need the same things.

This whole premise is stupid.

Actually I was thinking about that fight scene where lots of Smiths keep on pouring on to the basketball court, and neo grabs a steel pole and starts wrecking shit, to be eventually overwhelmed by sheer numbers, getting stuck under a smithpile, at which point one agent Smith, who used to be a middle school bully before he was assimilated, gave neo a wet willy and he threw them all off him, then flew away

What's this perfect utopian matrix that keeps being mentioned?

How come we never saw it and what happened to those who woke up from it?

>>80142279
Consider the fact that, originally, the Wachowskis planned to have the machines live as programs inside some kind of CPU formed by mankind's collective consciousness; the producers decided this would go over the audience's head and compelled them to write something simpler.

See >>80137206 for the only acceptable explanation as a result.

And the population will then stabilise, did you not bother paying attention in class?

A virus will kill itself off if it's virulent enough
