History Fridge / Chappie

** I would say that it is a matter of pride. He's old, dislikes AI and it seems like he's been part of big operations where big weapons played an important part, or, more sadly, he's a fanboy of those operations without ever having played a part in them. His operating the MOOSE shows him killing gangster with joy, so he might like having control of situations, and the MOOSE pretty much screams power. It's not about creating an ideal product, it's more about showing that his way of doing thinks are better than Deon's.

* The download of Yo-landi ''doesn't'' resurrect her as a robot. It just creates a robot that thinks it's her. Yo-landi dies for real. Deon as well; he dies of a gunshot wound while the proto-scout thinks itself as Deon.
** In a sense, that is fitting to the fundamental question of the film, on what consciousness and the soul is. Did the other characters really get resurrected or did they get copied as well? The only practical difference would be that Deon and Chappie might remember the moment of their "death" but Yo-landi will not. Is that all that makes a soul?
** Arguable, Deon's original body dies because Chappie removed his consciousness from it, the gunshot wound just facilitated the need to.
** Chappie is a robot, his 'soul(as in consciousness and memories)' is electronic software that can obviously be moved from one hardware to another, but human 'souls' don't work like that, so yeah, probably Deon and Yo-Landi are just copies.
*** Depends on whether you believe souls exist or not really. If you don't then there's no difference at all between the two things, our tech just isn't up to making the transfer yet.
*** Cut and paste, rather than copy. If you cut and paste a file from a USB drive, is it the same file? Does it matter, as long as the effect is the same?

* It's bad enough the lack of anyone checking the video cameras at Tetravaal, but they don't even have their own robots as security guards.

** The problem Chappie had with the Droid no.22 body was that the battery was not replaceable due to the damage the body had sustained from Hippo's bazooka blast. It's easy to assume that the droids batteries are rechargeable once pulled out - it would have been incrediblt costly and impractical for Tetra Vaal if they weren't. And since Deon is the droids' creator, he may make some modifications in the future so that he, Chappie and Yolandi can recharge by just plugging to an energy source.

* While Tetravaal does have rather lax security from the point of view of a audience use to big budget military bases, and objectively, there are some mitigating factors presented in universe for the SwissCheeseSecurity the largest one being that the most egregious lapses in security are during a massive and violent riot.

* for the ceo it was probably because she does not have a place in the military market, while Moore is simply too bloodthirsty as shown in the final moments of the film, he just want his robot to murder gangstas.

* Why the hell is Moore so hellbent on pitching the Moose to the police? It's a friggin' assault weapon platform, ''flight-capable'' to boot and clearly shown to have excellent offensive capabilities. Its defense leaves something to be desired, but it ''is'' a prototype; one assumes the final version would have better armor plating. Any military would fall all over itself to lay its hands on an armored fighting vehicle like that, and if not for Moore the CEO at least should be able to figure it out - especially since she makes it obvious that the company makes weapons and not robots "who can write a poem".

* So, after the end of the film, Chappie, Deon, and Yo-Landi are all in bodies where the batteries can be replaced, but are they going to have to steal a constant supply of batteries? Are they rechargeable or not?

* It could be argued that at least Deon was really himself, as Chappie claims to have found a way to transfer, and Deon was more "drag and dropped" then "copy and pasted."
