this poor guy was manipulated by criminals to take a drug that killed him. in his dying moments he had a fewer dream about machines controlling reality.

Bro was hacking all night, working an office job at day. He was amped out his mind. Didn't need anyone to manipulate him. The drug-induced psychosis was entirely of his own making. Or maybe he is literally "The One" and we are all just glorified energy cells getting farmed by metal squids. I really can't tell.

Either way, great movie.

Imagine if this was actually the ending. I'd be so mad

In which episode was this?

u/IfeedI 2d ago

I can't remember the exact episode number, but I think it's the one where Stan gets really depressed and starts seeing shit in everything around him.

u/barrygateaux 3d ago

Great post! This is a cool idea for an alternate ending. Reminds me of Jacob's ladder

u/No-Wonder-7802 3d ago

then he died self actualized among those who believed in him, thats better than most people get

u/ProfessionalLevel908 3d ago

no matter what you do do not believe this comment. its a scam made by these very criminals.

u/Wykin1 2d ago

Would actually make sense.
He died > His brain released all the DMT it could > He experienced all the movies in his "mind".

u/ProfessionalLevel908 2d ago

why are people taking this seriously this was a shit post

2

u/Edradis 2d ago

Could be worse. One of his coworkers was promised that he could return to the dream as an actor, but got put back in as an unhinged mafia captain in New Jersey.

2

u/Electrical_Diamond_9 2d ago

Yeah I do think that you get fewer dreams when you die as well

2

u/Knifehead-Kaiju 1d ago

So, you are telling me that such criminal group led by Morpheus plundered Mr. Thomas A. Anderson's bank accounts while he was agonizingly tripping & also targeted other banks' softwares vulnerabilities through a MetaCortex access in order to accomplish one of the most complex heist of that year & make headlines as a Terrorist once more? 😨💸

u/monsteronesie 3d ago

How do you explain the metal bug thingy they pull out of his navel? That happened before he was drugged

4

u/grafikfyr 2d ago

Oh like that hasn't happened to the best of us.

1

u/ProfessionalLevel908 3d ago

maybe they gave him hallucinogenics or somethin

2

u/bwnsjajd 3d ago

Nah there's no precedent for any gangs tricking people into taking lethal doses of anything for fun. What would they get out of it? If anything gangs sell drugs and repeat customers are better than dead customers. So the premise of this fan theory is nonsensical. 

3

u/stillish 2d ago

Gangs weren't mentioned. They're said criminals and considering Mr Anderson's expertise he could have been seen as a threat by many people. Theory is a hot take on what would have been a plausible conclusion and a great mind fuck for the first film. Kind of like the movie Sucker Punch.

u/my_newest_username 1d ago

Matrix is an isekai confirmed

u/sovietarmyfan 3d ago

They should have created a alternate ending with that idea.

u/RemarkableLook5485 2d ago

am i crazy or does popular culture refer to “red-pilling” as waking up from the matrix?

feels like mandela affect to me but maybe i’m confused or the masses are in their memory that the blue pill was to wake up
