Animatrix' "The Second Renaissance" pt. 2 question

[Admiral Valdemar]

I agree, that does sound like how I'd want it to go if they didn't take the end of the first movie and run two sequels off it.

You could make the sequels into a sort of repeat of what Morpheus tried to do, with a new band of rebels set later on, but instead, they go the other route and it leads to all sorts of nastiness rather than resetting to how it was.

Of course, I'm quite fond of the 'asteroid impact/other' wipes out the world. Machines put humans in storage... until what? Regeneration of the bio-sphere? They find some means of terraforming the Earth or some other world?

Or just recreation. I imagine that the more time you spend with the Woman in the Red Dress, the less you want to go back to the real world.

You know... That would have actually been pretty good.

You'd have to utterly re-write the sequels, mind you, but still.

Thanks. It's not hard once you get the base from someone.

I don't like asteroids. I know it's a proper science fiction trope that happens all the time, but to me asteroids only work in asteroid movies. I'd rather the whole thing be tied together with a message that most people don't like. That is just like Smith said, the humans acted like locusts, ate everything until there was almost nothing and the AI's determined the humans incapable of taking care of themselves. This sets up for a great conflict between the benevolent machines who strip freedom and give a gilded cage, and some kind of freedom fighters.

You mean 'proper piece of real science' there, don't you?

It's a scientifically proper disaster, but surely there must be others.. are there?

Uncontrolled ecological damage causing a planet's ecosphere to go off the rails and threaten the continuation of mankind. Hell, our descendants might even get to experience that one.
