I think if he would’ve been like “I’ve rally changed my mind. I can’t do this.” Neo and Morpheus I feel would’ve tried to help him re-enter the matrix.
The whole thing was about “give them a choice” and I think everyone would have at least understood how he fealt and would’ve tried to get him back into the matrix at his request.
I feel like he didn’t even try talking about it before he went to the agents.
I know it’s meaningless just wondering what other people thought.
Like they can teach a guy king fu in seconds.
I’m sure they could be like “okay will plug you back in at the designated facility where we help people like you, we’ll wipe your memory the best we can and you’ll go back. It won’t be exactly the same but if you commit to forgetting and we scrub what we can… in time it’ll taste like stake again. I empathize with those feelings and I’m sorry you choose the matrix but we understand. It’s actually pretty common around here”
Imagine the power, nourishment and bandwidth drain on a strained society, and then there’s the problem with a stationary facility connected to the matrix will eventually be located.
I’d pretend we are going to plug him back in but then whisper “no refunds” and execute him.
Plug’em back in, disconnect them while inside. Seems like a painless death.
I have to disagree. We already established people in the matrix are the power source.
Maybe Zion can’t fully tap into that mechanic but I’m sure they can hack it good enough that power isn’t a concern.
