(and what the fuck does a Zion-born human know of Superman anyways? They have comics in their little city?).
Operators spend all day long reading 1999-era Matrix code. Also, the liberated people from the Matrix would bring back their pop culture/slang to Zion.
How the fuck do you know this shit? Are you 12? Are there Matrix novels out there extending the universe?
There was a movie called "The Matrix", which acts as a prequel to The Matrix Reloaded, and in that movie it was explained that the operators knew the Matrix code inside and out. If your beef is the extrapolation that 1999-era people would still remember all their 1999 pop culture, I guess you could argue this as PURE SPECULATION. I don't know why you would though. You know who else couldn't make that brain bending logical connection? Cyrris.
It was more of a drunk musing than anything else. My beef wasn't with 1999-era matrix people knowing who superman is. My beef centered around how a non-matrix operator would have such in-depth knowledge of superman without a common frame of reference. Though I can understand the Wachosky(sp) Brothers' choice (both fly and save the world, are faster than speeding bullets, etc), the concept of superman should be about as foreign to an Operator as the concept of Perseus to most of today's populace. An operator may know the code of the matrix inside-out, but reading that deep into the code would entail the operator to learn every facet of human civilization, which is something I just don't see happening.
But seeing has how Fussbett obviously learnt everything he needed from the Prequil, lets hear him explain all of the facets of cross-cultural information dissemination as well as the psychological processes involved in choosing a descriptor from a foreign culture, particularly a descriptor that would require knowledge of the culture in question rather than an existing object (like an "airplane") or a common verb (like "flying").
Then again, giving the aformentioned problems with the script for this movie, I'm willing to chalk this up as another "oopsie" (granted, movie scripts were never meant to be able to stand up to any sort of real scrutiny anyways)
Semi-Drunk yet again,
Cyrris
