Matrix day 1-31-10

[QuiDormit]

Suspension of disbelief?

I always figured that the point was that machines were more or less supposed to be equal to humans. While current technology wouldn't allow for such a thing, these humans were, after all, created by the machines what with the plugs and everything.

If the machines can wipe someone's memory (which we've seen in the Animatrix, and we assume they can do with reinsertion), is it really that much of a stretch to think that Smith's code could copy Bane's RSI and cause a personality change within him? ... At least in the Matrix universe... not IRL.

We buy the part that the machines use humans for power but a lot of people don't buy that smith could overwrite bane. I dunno, like I said, suspension of disbelief has to come in at some point for these movies.
