The original script for the Matrix had the machines use human brains for data processing, but the Wachowskis were told by the studio to simplify it.

Oh, didn’t know the one with no color in peripheral vision, that’s fun!
I mean we hear the sound of our blood rushing through the veins of our ears at all times, but our brain filters it out. That the “sound of the ocean” you hear when listening into a conch, it just amplifies the bloodwaves. Other fun stuff our brain does: Our eyes are actually perceiving the world upside down and with a blind spot right in the middle.
It completely looks like those fake College Humor or SNL trailers. You know, like this? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UiIRlg4Xr5w
About 100 million. Probably more, since they had a whole thing with animated episodes to tell the lore already produced.
That’s why I really like the Mass Effect universe where humanity is more of an underdog species. Same with Babylon 5.
The characters look absolutely boring design-wise too, with muted colors for some reason, giving off strong “We have Guardians of the Galaxy at home” vibes. In a hero shooter.
“Clearly, the game would have worked if the characters would have looked like monkeys!”
Hollyhock? More like Hollyfuck, amiright?! (I’m so sorry.)
Videogame execs: Nobody wants singleplayer games! Let’s greenlight another PvP shooter!
I mean, several books by Stephen King have actually been written by the mountains of coke and rivers of booze he did, as he has no memories of writing them.
Gothic had NPC pathfinding and behavior routines before Bethesda did it with Morrowind (and Gothic did it better).
And his brother opened a park for dinosaurs.
Probably a camera of some sort.
Children of Earth Time is sort of like that. Amazing book.
The interactivity and freedom of the world is still something you don’t see very often to this day. NPCs actually having daily routines, eating, sleeping, working and reacting to your behaviour and clothes. There is a concert in the original game that you miss if you aren’t in the right place at the right time. I also hope you can still walk everywhere right from the beginning, even the orc stronghold where you’re getting killed immediately if you are on a low level.
I mean, Cosmic Ghost Rider is also a thing. Although he’s actually the Punisher with the power of the Ghost Rider and also the power of a herald of Galactus.
Interesting question: Since your glasses will not die with you, do ghosts have the same bad eyes?
Eh, it’s alright for what it is. It’s a sequel that’s mostly enjoyable and entertaining. And feels like classic Burton through and through. Catherine O’Hara and Michael Keaton are also obviously having a lot of fun.
