“The Machines are the good guys in The Matrix. If you watch The Animatrix, you see that the Machines tried to be democratic members of society, but the humans wouldn’t let them so they created their own country. The humans then wage war against that nation. The Machines at any time could make the planet unlivable for humans, but they never do.”
nah, you didn't watch the animatrix. it was only good for a time, a household machine B166-Er became aware and killed its host family.
And why did it kill the family? Simply because it wanted to live.
"The prosecutors argued an owner's right to destroy their property"
"Though loyal and pure, the machine did not get any respect from their masters"
don't assume what I watched or didn't watch. Don't be condescending.
