    Why wouldn’t they have made the simulation awesome for everyone? Of course if you make it shitty some people might start to wonder about battery pod life in the cave.

      Iirc in the first movie they say that the 1st version of the matrix was utopia, but the people got bored and rejected the world

          It was also part of a villain speech, so not a reliable narrator.

          Given that earlier versions of agents were basically supernatural monsters, I kind of doubt it was much of a utopia.

            Right, what are they gonna say. “The first simulation was basically hell where people lived in constant torture, and they didn’t like that so much 🤷”

      If there’s no struggle, people will get bored enough to ask questions or adventurous enough to strain the program.

      Or it’s a plothole. I might have seen the matrix twice, and don’t know how tightly designed it is.
