How much do fans love [Westworld]?
Recently, some foreign netizens shouted to Musk on social media :
Don't build rockets, don't build electric cars, and quickly build a real Westworld!
Musk replied:
What kind of world do you think you are in now?
This dialogue once again clarified [Westworld]'s terrifying brain hole:
We think we are independent-thinking human beings, but we actually live a manipulated life...
Therefore, people inside and outside the play want to get rid of the fate of the puppet——

Season 2 Ability and Luck
Westworld Season2·virtù e fortuna
The plot to the third episode, and finally a little thrilling meaning:
Humans and robots also ushered in the first combat confrontation. Long guns, short guns, large knives, and gunpowder are all used, but how can Western World compare with future equipment...
It is a shotgun against 98K, and the bullets will become boxes before they are loaded.
However , Demei, who has been blackened into the bone marrow , still retains her strength in the battle with less to many, and she has become a "tyrant" type of existence in the western world!
In addition, the veil of the entire park also unfolds, and the park is richer than imagined——
More artificial worlds to unlock
At the beginning of the third episode, it is estimated that many fans feel that they are dancing...
Peacocks, elephants, palm trees, gentlemen and wives in the courtyard drinking black tea, and servants in Indian costumes serving, this is the Indian world next to Westworld!
(It should be India during the British colonial period)
As new maps are unlocked, new characters also appear...
In the official information, her name is Grace . In the Indian world where she lived, there was a robot riot. When fleeing, she and a tiger strayed into Westworld and fell into a lake.
Does this tiger look familiar?
It's the mechanical tiger that escaped from the Indian world in the premiere...
On the other side, Maeve finally assembled her team.
In addition to the old lover Hockett and the human Seth Moore, in addition to ushered in the return of the powerful snake girl, and the kind-hearted Asian brother reappears...
The group also unlocked a new map in order to find their daughter: Shogun World!
From the western United States to Japan in the shogunate era, and also ushered in the samurai attack, it is said that Sanada Hiroyuki and Kikuchi Rinko will all appear in the follow-up plot...
The ending song is a western world melody played by the Japanese instrument shakuhachi !
The first battle between Demei and humans
In addition to the unlocking of the new map, Demei also officially started the war:
Some people say that this season's German sister is exactly like the dragon mother of [Game of Thrones]!
From the beginning, they have been recruiting troops to expand their forces. In the third episode, they also used human weapons in exchange to win the support of the southern army in the western world...
But in society, your virtuous sister is not stupid and sweet!
The Southern Army had abused Demei a lot, and in the eyes of Demei, these unawakened NPCs were just children who would never grow up and could only be used as chess pieces...
When the security team attacked, they were bombed by Demei as bait.
Appearance of key figures
The key person who influenced the German sister was her father: Peter Abernathy
He is the human-shaped hard drive that carries 35 years of data from Westworld!
Charlotte and Bernard have been tracking down his whereabouts, because it is difficult to get outside rescues if they can't find him...
And the memory of his multiple roles keeps jumping and it is difficult to control.
But the damaged he is still being competed for like a sought-after item:
First found by Bernard and Charlotte, then reunited with Desiree, and finally kidnapped by Charlotte during the battle...
After the introduction of the three plots, let’s analyze the theme of this episode:
The title of this episode "virtù e fortuna" is Italian and is translated as "Virtue and Wealth", but this sentence comes from the fixed usage of [monarchy] , perhaps it should be translated as -
Ability and Luck
This is Machiavelli 's argument for analyzing the Renaissance hero Caesar Borgia ...
(Caesar and his sister in the American TV series [The Borgias])
He believes that an excellent monarch can turn the tide of the situation and control his own destiny with his outstanding ability. His thoughts get rid of feudal theology and ethics and pay more attention to human practice...
This seems to show that the robots in Westworld are breaking fate with their own abilities!
Also as Demei said to Bernard...
They have perfect immortality, so they should strive to survive!
As a result, Demei became a "tyrant" in the process of survival !
She is like the historical Caesar Borgia:
Using sinister and tyrannical means to achieve her goals, she designed the sacrifice of the southern army to fight against humans, and even tested Teddy's loyalty...
She orders Teddy to execute the remaining droids while she watches.
I have to admit that Demei at this time is like a controversial leader in history. Her ability is against the sky, but she is controversial because of her insidious and vicious methods.
As she herself said: the old lady is not Dolores, but Wyatt!
However, can the ability to defy the sky really be able to reverse the fate?
Maeve was invincible before because of the increase in authority level...
However, in the face of the attack of the natives in Westworld, the instructions she issued had no effect at all, which shows that her authority did not exceed the park administrator.
Maeve, who is known to be open, has finally been officially patched!
No matter how strong the ability is, there is still an upper limit that is difficult to reach.
As Machiavelli put it slightly self-contradictory in [The Prince]:
No one is so flexible that they can always adapt to changing times…
The so-called strong man defies the sky, after all, there must be a time for luck!
Speculation about "weapons" and "doors"
In the slightly complicated plot of the third episode, a key clue appeared: the unknown pattern!
An unknown pattern appears in the new Grace's manual, and a very similar pattern appears when Bernard deciphers information from Peter Abernathy.
This design is similar to the maze pattern from the first season...
So the detective I boldly guessed that the maze pattern corresponds to the awakening of thinking, and this pattern may correspond to the escape of robots with the image of "door" this season!
So Bernard unconsciously exclaimed after seeing the information.
Before, many fans speculated that the tourists who came to Westworld were basically powerful people, and Westworld was collecting human DNA and creating replicas...
Take control of the world by replacing humans with robots!
This brain hole actually comes from the 1976 movie [Future World]
As the sequel to the movie version of [Westworld], it continues the horror and horror of the conspiracy theory of replacing humans with robots.
But if Nolan directly copied this conspiracy theory, it would be too boring.
Detective, I thought of a brain hole privately, and only took it as a guess:
Ford had a line about "evolution" in the first season .
What he means is that mistakes inadvertently lead to biological evolution, and it is difficult for humans to evolve with today's technological perfection...
And Demei also has a very subtle statement in this episode:
"Those out there who resist death"
This sentence illustrates two key points: one is that the human beings outside control everything but only fear death, and the other is that the advantage of robots over humans lies in the ability to live forever...
Then there is the old William's expression when he wants to destroy Westworld in the first episode. He believes that his actions are to protest the judgment of the outside world and explore the nature of human beings...
What is the nature of human beings?
That is the unique emotion of human beings that literature, movies, and works of art are all singing about!
And the robot will only copy the retelling, the story line, lines and Demei's paintings in the play are all like this...
But the wishes of the outside world went against his ideas, so he regretted building Westworld.
That is to say, the human beings in the outside world have seen the characteristics of robots in Westworld, but have forgotten the essence of being human...
The quality of Westworld is not the immortality of robots!
Therefore, what is behind Westworld may be:
In order to complete further evolution, human beings use the characteristics of robots to transform themselves, so as to achieve true immortality from soul to body...
Although it is not a conspiracy theory that [future world] uses robots to control the world, it is not impossible to transform humans with the characteristics of robots, so as to complete the evolutionary brain hole.
For Demei and other robots, it is a weapon!
Because this technology allows them to break into the human world as robots...
This is the door to a new world for humans!
Because this technology allows them to break the boundaries again and complete new cross-domain...
Look back at this mysterious pattern:
Two irregular hexagons are embedded with each other to form a perfect intersection of equilateral hexagons. This intersection is the existence of combining the advantages of humans and robots!
(divergent thinking, just for fun)
