[quote name="Jhoh Creexul"][quote name="Senor Barborito"][quote name="Arbit"][quote name="Chairman Mao"]How the poor machine that just wanted to live first killed the human trying to deactivate him, then every other living thing in the house (all the cats are ripped in half) and then finally the other human as... it... begged for its life. This was the "seeds of dissent" that led to the war. Because, ya know, its irrational on humanity's part to try to destroy something that can't seem to stop killing you. I'm cranky about this because <i>The Second Renaissance</i> takes a decidedly apologetic note with the machines; and given the largely clumsy symbolism involved that means humans are monsters monsters monsters. Yes; serial killers frequently kill animals before moving on to humans; but a man cornered by executioners of some ilk, does not kill the Serbian paramilitaries and then take the time to gut every chicken and stomp every goldfish in the area. I guess I understand what they are trying to say, but it pisses me off nonetheless because now we're being prompted to feel sympathy towards what had been the ultimate inhuman evil. I don't want drooling Japanese Robosexuality fagging up my kung-fu gayness.[/quote] I figured those were chunks of human flesh. Now that I'm watching it on a larger resolution, those are clearly chunks of adorable and fluffy kitten flesh. The woman is what bothered me, though. We're treated to a extreme close up of the face of a whimpering old woman being torn in half, releasing the <b>brain</b> riding a wave of <b>brain juice</b>, and we're supposed to think "aw, poor robot"? After this scene, humans are portrayed as total fuckwads, which <i>does</i> make us think "aw, poor robots." But then, I keep thinking of that lady's brain bouncing off the camera lense. -Arbit [/quote] The idea here is to demonstrate to the viewer that both sides commit horrible atrocities (the robot 'rape' scene in the first Second Renaissance really fucked me up for some reason), and both do so out of ignorance. Robots because of an ignorance of morality, and humans because of an ignorance for absolutely every last thing including morality. --SB[/quote] You sure are a big pussy.[/quote]
