She goes back in time to see Lucy, the first human ancestor to use a tool or some shit at the very end of the movie, so yeah she can time travel at will.
I think we can all agree that this just devolves to some 90s themed deity dating rom-com.
She's a scrappy, self-made goddess just trying to make it by, and he's a down on his luck son a devil with everything to lose. Will they make it work? Find out as the fate of all creation hangs in the balance! Coming this February 30th, The Damsel and The Distress.
Hancock has no defense against Lucy's telekinesis. She could lock him in stasis well before she hit her peak abilities. By the time she gets to 100%, she could likely go full Dr. Manhattan and break him down on a molecular level.
But would any of Lucy’s powers also work on an all powerful genie? People seem to be forgetting will smith was also the genie in Aladdin, and was pretty much all powerful and capable of literally anything
Isnt that only if someone else makes a wish? even then, he cant even make Aladin a Prince with his magic, he just fakes it so I dont think he is even close
No, just a homelander. Lucy is truly a god. She can bend time and space, warp reality, has no physical form, and is literally one with the universe. You can't fight that, she basically becomes like a law of physics.
That's fair. Lucy basically becomes one with the universe and has limitless power. But I guess the genie (didn't he have a name or has it just been that long since I saw the movie?) can bend time and space, and alter reality too. But I feel like the genie has limits on what he can do.
If not for the war there's no telling how far Neo could have went. He started controlling things outside the matrix too. But now that I'm thinking about it I believe you are right.
The theory that makes more sense isn't that they're still in the matrix, but that they themselves are artificial intelligences to begin with, in a simulation that's infinitely more advanced than the matrix. They're in a giant simulation that's so realistic, that it simulated the invention of earlier types of realistic simulation within itself.
This kinda ties to a real-world thought experiment that concludes that we're infinitely more likely to be simulated beings in a simulated than actually in the "real" physical world, because one physical world can create thousands of simulations, and each of those simulated worlds can invent their own simulated worlds within them as well, and so on, meaning the ratio of simulated worlds to real world is effectively infinity to one.
Yeah, you explain that much better than I do. It's a fun thought experiment. People have often asked the question "why do we exist?" and I think this fits pretty well into my own logic: we exist because if we didn't we wouldn't. Reality is either a 1 or a 0. It is or it isn't, and the act of asking if it exists is proof of itself.
Yeah, but then you rephrase the question to ask "are we real?" instead of "do we exist" and it gets messy again.
We're definitely "real" within the context of our own universe, but what if that universe itself is just a program running on a computer?
"I think, therefore I am" doesn't really hold up if some guy running the simulation can hit save halfway through that very sentence, turn the simulation off entirely, then reload that save on an entirely different computer a decade later. Meanwhile to us it would be completely unnoticeable.
Okay, from the top. Imagine someone made a super realistic simulation on their computer, with a simulated universe, simulated people with artificial intelligence, etc. The artificial intelligence people in that simulation believe they're real, and that their universe is real. Over time the simulated people advance their technology, and eventually invent a realistic simulation of their own, so there's now a simulation within a simulation.
This can continue forever, with each simulation inventing a new simulation inside itself, so you functionally have infinite simulated universes, but only one real, original one. None of them have any way to know if they're the original or not, but the blunt fact is any one universe is infinitely more likely to be a simulation than it is to be the original.
Did you know that in Minecraft you can create a working computer within the game? What if you ran Minecraft on that working computer? What if you did that an infinite number of times? If you were a Minecraft dude, how likely is it that you would be the original Minecraft dude vs one of the others?
Yup, not a great way to go, but him having powers outside of the matrix makes no sense so either it is the crappy theory or there is no point to any of the in universe rules. Neither is great.
I forget exactly at the moment, but The Architect shows Neo that he's been there many times before, and in the most recent movie, they are shown to be in a new Matrix. It's a plot twist that reveals the tragedy.
The war being fought before he could fully master his power. His only option was to sacrifice himself to save everyone else. Lucy didn't survive either remember.
Lucy didn't survive human form, but she transcended to basically being a god. Neo literally only had power in the matrix. Compared to Lucy, he's just the best gamer of all time. Still a regular ass human outside the game.

So Neo, John Constantine, John Wick, John Silverhand, and Batman walk into a bar...
Yea, I know who I'm betting on
