It is fine if they wanted it, but that’s not what we got. It’s unfortunate for them to not be able to realize their creative vision but the first matrix is a great movie and personally, I don’t know if I would trade what we got for what they wanted to make. But that’s neither here nor there. Let me pull another example and I’ll shut up then.
J.K. Rowling said, “Before adopting Muggle plumbing methods in the eighteenth century, witches and wizards simply relieved themselves wherever they stood, and vanished the evidence.” (Why even say that really xd?) And so the questions start. If the poo disappeared where does it go? To the Poop Dimension? Is it just poo there or its just Earth 2.0 with constant browntorms? Or maybe everyone there is already dead because of unsanitary weather conditions? Or does every poo go to its own dimension? Can wizards create dimensions now? And if da puu just seizes to exist can you disappear a person the same way? Or send the to Poo Dimension?
That topic shouldn’t even be approached by her and it seems just stupid at first, but when you start to think about it introduces new mechanics, catastrophic to the worldbuilding and the plot. Just send Voldi to the pooo dimension and its all done. In just one chapter, no book series is needed.
So yeah, after the piece of media is done I don’t take pretty much anything the author says into consideration. They say something they don’t realize messes up their world or try to fill the holes in the story that shouldn’t be there in the first place( the last jedi example).
I know the poo thing is an extreme example but it’s good to showcase the principle.
