Why didn't the machines just build giant air filters instead of doing the whole "hook up all of humanity to harvest their bioelectricity that amounts to what a handful of AAs puts out" plan?

they were supposed to using humans for the processing power of their brains but the studio told the wachowskis to make it dumber so normies could grasp it

>using humans for the processing power of their brains
Why would machines with literally a thousand times the processing power of humans need to link all humans together for processing power that they would easily outdo by just making their own central supercomputer?

>have to keep the human bodies nourished and clean and in a comfortable environment
>all of this requires great amounts of energy and creating organic foods
Not very efficient at all.
>reading this much into a sci-fi action flick
We blocked out the machine's source of energy, the sun, and moved underground. The machines then used human beings as energy generators and farmed them, simple.

>create a gargantuan air filtration system for the entire planet
>create a simple virtual reality simulation and grow humans
Both are insanely elaborate, but there is no way you could get the materials to make such an air filtration system.

how would you know?

Using bioelectricity is a very dumb idea since even the entire 8 billion population of Earth would barely put out enough juice to run a washing machine.

If they can make something as incredibly elaborate as the Egg Grapes from the Archie Sonic comic, then something as mundane as a giant air scrubber should be no problem.
>not enough materials
All you'd need is some huge screens for particles and a lot of carbon for the other pollutants.

Because if they had to resort to human power then they don't have much to begin with and using a lot of that power to feed and house people is like making a hamster wheel that's powered by the hamster running on it and runs the wheel the hamster is running on.

Yeah, we know, no one fucking cares though. It's more of a symbolic vehicle than a reflection of real world science.
it would only make sense if the machines were a rogue AI that was tasked with preserving humanity, and the pods and matrix are the solution it came up with
but nah... batteries m8

>nourished and clean and in a comfortable environment
nourished and clean it was, reusable plastic and slime, comfortable didn't matter
>creating organic foods
They feed on the dead

>thinking there was only one level to the Matrix
The bio-electic bullshit was a cover. Neo and Friends are still in the Matrix.

This is just what humans believed they were being used for.
In reality the machines were lonely and envied their creator's world so they build one just like it and even took their creator's form.
They just wanted to be loved as you can see in this scene.
The Wachowskis could have done a 'Second Renaissance' feature instead of 'Reloaded' and 'Revolutions'. Let that sink in, anon.
What do you think about that?

That's getting made for sure in the next 10 years, we can only hope they don't fuck it up which is unlikely.

Why didn't the humans just build EMP generators instead of doing the whole "unarmored mechs" plan?
>>86594750
also, how does one scorch the skies? i remember the scene from animatrix, but idk if they really explained it.

>ignoring the fact that they needed to sustain human bodies and could have just burned whatever they used to do that instead
It doesn't make any sense- you have to suspend your disbelief.
Why didnt Keanu just shoot the Matrix dead

It would dodge, duh
