My 13 year old brain believed that shit until I realized it was completely unnecessary to the plot of the whole trilogy and it only existed as a bit of "look at me I made a 'profound' theory aren't I smart" bit of fanwank.

Only the first season friendo. The producers/actors even commented on it. I believe it was done in case of an early cancellation and they could have wrapped the JD+Janitor story up as an overarching storyline with a definite end or something

????? Nigretto what? I remember there was like a short scene where it's heavily implied something is only happening in Kakihara's head, but the rest... what?
Isn't that Audition?

I don't remember it in Requiem
and it was done in Vanilla Sky because it was actually important to the plot

that really only happens to a character as a horror denouement suggesting they never escaped. The movie before that is not implied to be a dream. Same thing with the last 5 minutes of the Descent.

What's funny is that in a way the real world does turn out to be a matrix for the humans, just not a virtual one. The whole thing was a calculated series of events by the machines to deal with the glitch that was the supposed "chosen one". Neo happened to break the cycle.
