I never understood the plot of the matrix. Why the fuck would you want to live outside of the virtual reality world? Just let the machines make the vr world awesome if you promise not to break out. The whole “the world was too good and the humans noticed so we had to make it shitty” plot point was stupid as fuck. If the world was too awesome you think I’d ever want to leave that world?
That's explored in the movie, no? That's why Cypher betrays them to go back into the Matrix. Some people are fine and even prefer the Matrix, others can't live that way knowing it's all fake.
