I don’t know why but for some reason the Thanos one bugs me more, it feels more fundamentally wrong. Like I understand the flaws with the matrix, I went electrical engineering to software development, but to me I’m still willing to accept some wand wavy bullshit about how they need to harvest humans for power, more than I am that a population won’t double immediately. Like the biology of consciousness and brains and electricity have a lot more room for complex weirdness than the weeds in my walkway always immediately regrowing.
This was annoying. I love sci-fi so I don’t need realism but the writers should at least make some effort for plausibility.
Same with The Matrix (my favorite movie) and their human battery shit that “combined with a form of fusion” solved their energy needs.
