did it kill the guy who started to do adam smith pretensions in the real world before he decided to try to shiv neil?

No, turning a person into Agent Smith just replaces their mind with an Agent Smith mind. The physical body is still alive.

This is why in Reloaded, you see the human character Bane get turned into a Smith clone, then that Smith clone picks up the ringing phone and wakes up inside Band's physical body.

An argument can be made that Bane was already freed. Someone who is jacked into the matrix whose mind is already trapped would probably just lose their soul.

BANE?

Then why have people keep their minds/consciousness in Matrix and didn't the matrix replace everyone's mind with controlled program in the first place?

>>87142954
how do people in the matrix know what they look like?

why didnt the robots just build a giant generator?

The premise was always shakey. The problem is that they dragged it out into a shitty trilogy instead of keeping it simple and wrapping it up in one or two films.

And if the body in the chamber is male, but really trans, are they female in the matrix?
really chafes my chestnuts.

To be fair to the wachowski's the original idea was that humans would be farmed for processing power instead of energy generation. Would have been far less retarded but the studio thought audiences wouldn't get it.

Is this before or after crashing the plane?

>studio allows the ending of the 2nd movie to happen the way it did
I just flat out don't believe you

>>87147693
Yes, sadly. I mean just look at the monsters who wrote it.

>>87144263
The original script was based on collective human brains for processing power, the studio dumbed it down for normies

>>87147719
honestly they still could have done that later on
have it be revealed in the second or third movie the whole "humans = batteries" thing was a machine decoy and part of what makes hypothetically unplugging everyone is that the matrix is partially running on the minds of the people connected
