[QUOTE="Dire Bare, post: 8583021, member: 18182"] There's a storyline in the Marvel tv show "Agents of SHIELD" where our heroes are trapped in a magically enhanced computer simulation and given new lives and new memories. As they struggle through the story, they come to realize that their families, friends and loved ones in this simulation aren't real . . . and it becomes tragic, horrifying, and a bit philosophical about what makes a person "real". When they finally break free of the computer sim, it is destroyed, along with all of its inhabitants. It's the darkest storyline of the tv show, and one of the darkest storylines in the MCU. One of the characters has a daughter in the computer simulation, who is lost along with everyone else in the sim, and it really messes with him long after this storyline is wrapped. The heroes in the show wrestle with these questions. What's real and what isn't? What makes a person real? Do we struggle to save someone who is generated by an advanced computer algorithm? How should we feel about losing someone who isn't "real"? [/QUOTE]
