[@kevindelbridge163]

If you've ever played the PC game, I think that, and a scene in the early movie is an indicator. Basically Wall-E runs back as quick as possible to the truck where they are based before the others whenever a storm pops up. I think it may also have to deal with him having a kind of conscious, figuring out the most direct routes back, then one by one the other Wall-E units deteriorate and shut down, and yes, he also does break down the other units for spare eyes and treads, which is also seen in the movie. That's just my theory anyway. Wall-E is my favorite Pixar movie, so I've put a little thought into it.

Correction: going from glass bottles to plastic and thinner plastic equaling less waste is only true if the bottles weren't reused and recycled. Glass bottles can be reused dozens of times before they become waste (and glass waste can be recycled into new bottles with ease), the thick plastic bottles can still be reused about a dozen times before they become waste (and they too get recycled into new bottles but that needs more added new material), on the other hand the thin pet bottles become waste after a single use and can't be recycled into new pet bottles (into other things though). Atm glass bottles are still the greenest alternatives to package drinks, after just drinking tap water (where possible) and tightly followed by the thick plastic bottles (if they stay in the bottle cycle).

You’re insane if you think people are sifting through mixed recyclables and picking out glass bottles and thicker plastic bottles and going “these will do just fine!” Only the drink manufacturers can do that, and they won’t because they’re typically not local mom and pop stores and it’ll take more money/plastic to safely ship bottles and to industrially clean them than to make a new bottle. The only realistic version of what you’re saying, is if the drinks companies ship to restaurants in a single container and the company itself uses glass containers for the customers, in which case yes the glass can be reused almost indefinitely.

Not to mention that keeping the people complacent was probably a part of Auto's interpretation of his final order. In order to ensure that they never return to Earth, the humans must be distracted at all times. This is why the "advertisements" play despite anyone working or making money: it's to keep their minds preoccupied with frivilous activities instead of asking questions about Earth which, as we see with the captain, is something that the computer is capable of and willing to answer. It's no longer about making money, it's about following orders in the most effective way possible.

I knew ever since I was little that BNL was the main villain. Captain Auto was programmed to not let the humans go home, which means BNL never truly had any intentions of reversing earth's damage. That's why Wall-E was the only trash robot left and why Eve was the only assessment robot to be deployed. They never actually expected there to be a change

[@gobbles1181]

The BnL CEO actually initiated the A113 Directive in Auto several years or even decades after people were initially meant to return to Earth, WALL-E was just the only bot still working because they were meant to finish cleaning after 5 years but the movie takes place 700 years after they were supposed to be done (many modern cars don’t even last that long), and EVE was only one of several probes deployed to Earth, as several other models are seen in the ship with EVE, and it’s not unreasonable to assume there were other ships that were sent to Earth as well. I’m not saying you’re wrong or anything because it is very plausible that BnL never intended to take people back and everything else was simply a facade to trick people.

And if so how do we know that people still even have money to give up on that ship? Granted the business that trashed the world is definitely plausible, especially for money, but how would they keep this up when people run out of money? Wouldn’t that doom humanity on the ship? Regardless, I love the videos, just had a few questions about this one. I’m kinda curious.

[@HOLDENPOPE]

BnL probably doesn't exist anymore by the time of Wall-E, only their propoganda and robots remain, keeping humankind under their posthumous control.

[@PoseurGoth]

It's no longer about money. They were already the only corporation. Now they are the undisputed leaders. Every facet of the, admittedly comfortable, lives of the public is now under their complete control. BNL's aesthetics, rules, AUTO programming, and entertainment reign supreme. Even without formal leaders, aside from the captains, the ships are a huge vanity project, BNL is viewed as a god like savior of mankind (and much like The Machine Stops, a story from over a hundred years ago with a vaguely similar plot, albeit less optimistic, I wouldn't be surprised if worship of the corporation eventually became mandated). This is the Bezos and Musk wet dream, that they would happily give up every cent of their fortunes to achieve.

So they went into emergency mode and just told the ships to stay out. They were forced to save humanity off of Earth. BnL was gone by the time Wall-E starts, but the robots and ship were programmed to show and use BnL stuff from the beginning, so they just kept using it.

[@Vespidazed]

Could be important political figures, wealthy businessmen that ran BnL or had stocks in it and their families, Workers high enough on the totem pole. 600,000 people isn't everyone on the planet, at least I assume there wouldn't be that few of people given that the current population is about 7,794,798,739. While the Axiom might be one of many ships, there are division. Executive and regular "Tours". Let's say they had about.... 1,000 ships that all had the capacity for 600,000 people. That still leaves about 7,194,798,739 people on earth if the population of earth at this time is what it is now. That is a small fraction of people. No doubt this wasn't a free trip, at least not for the common person. I believe somewhere they mention "Thousands" of ships.... so They would have needed to make about....7,794,799 ships... But again, they mention "Thousands" not tens of thousands, not millions.... Suffice to say they still left a chunk of people behind because they probably did not have ships. But then again, we do not know of this Earth's population. For all we know it could have been on the brink of collapse making is easier to fit everyone on their ships.

I do have one minor disagreement with your theory. You say Buy and Large has a motive: to get money. But it is clearly shown that the humans can no longer do anything except, you know, sit around and get waited on. There would be no new money coming in, as none of the humans have jobs. The food and other things the humans get would have to be free. And they have to continuously spend money on maintenance of the robots that do everyone's jobs for them (Detroit much?). Yes, they may have charged an initial fee to get on the space ship, but that would be nothing compared to the cost of running a that thing. And for that matter, why would money matter in space? There is nothing for Buy and Large to buy anymore. They essentially own all there is to own, because all of humanity is on that spaceship. Am I crazy, or does anyone else agree?

I was thinking this throughout the whole video. Nothing about what BnL is doing in the theory *makes* money. Destroying a planet, and building interstellar ark ships that support every need and function to ridiculous excess, of completely passive and non-contributing humans AND every generation of their decendents for 700 years... that has to cost thousands (if not millions) of times more than the entire savings of that first generation of people. Plus, yeah, where the hell would they spend it?

[@jamessauve754]

So every human on earth just got on a ship to space for free? I doubt it. Maybe 700 years after the ship has been in flight things are free but, there had to at least be a boarding fee.

[@jaspyri]

I understood it as, since everybody is just lazing on those ships, BnL would have a monopoly on the planet's resources. Although i still don't get why they would do this since even if you have all the resources in the world, what are you gonna use it for.

There’s one looming problem with this theory, as matpat said, “Don’t trust everything at first glance” since the people on the BnL ship apparently don’t do work, (they were never shown at any time of day to be doing anything else other than sleeping, talking, eating etc) the ship could not have any economic productivity, everyone in humanity is doing practically nothing, so, everyone is supported by the BnL ship. Does this mean everyone on the ship is broke? or that BnL just has a really good Universal Basic Income? I don’t know. but I do know this, for everyone to live, they need the necessities of life, but since they are not working for those necessities, there is no economy. so to conclude this pointlessly long comment that nobody is gonna read, the ship can’t have any economy, because there is no working class. Greed could not be a factor, because BnL destroyed the economy by making humanity useless at working. Regards, Random guy on youtube.

With their humongous weath, they made robots to do their bidding Now since they don't need to worry about money anymore cause there is no money anymore, they share their products with the people After all a king need his people and a god need his followers Not that they care It because they need to feel supreme, it's human's nature BUT HEY, IT IS JUST A THEORY, A STUPID THEORY

[@1990tcyta]

The only problem is that sending everyone into space is a horrible buildings model. I mean sure, the first generation will give every cent, but everyone born over the next 700 years? There doesn’t seem to be any form of currency on the Axiom, so it appears that BnL is just providing these people with food, water, and round-the-clock service without making any profit whatsoever. Fortunately, there’s an easy way to explain this that’s already well-established in the Pixarverse. Most people theorize that at a certain point, BnL was taken over behind the scenes by an AI that was originally programmed to help the company. This AI then set about taking over everything, but because of the parameters programmed into it, it couldn’t directly attack or kill off the humans. So instead, it found a loophole, forcing them into space with its awful business model that destroyed the earth, while still technically caring for the humans so as not to violate its programming. That’s why it still takes care of the humans centuries later, when no logical business or extinction strategy would justify that. And as a result, the AI has the entire Earth to use for its own ends.

[@vasilzahariev5741]

I only have one problem with your theory: If the spaceships are almost fully automated and if people go there almost like they are on a vacation, then these people aren't working and therefore they themselves do not generate income, which they would need to spend for the spaceships and for the goods that BNL supplies. BNL would profit at the beginning of this scheme, like for a week or a month, maybe a year, depending on the people's individual wealth and the prices of the goods, but then, they would have milked all people from their cash and the whole scheme would crash, because people wouldn't have any money to spend and they wouldn't be able to get any money from anywhere in order to spend it. Then the whole endeavour becomes even more pointless, if you think about how BNL would have all of the money and not being able to do anything useful with it, because they are a monopoly and everyone is their "captive" and because everything is automated, remember, robots need fuel/batteries, not money, basically all of their profit would be worthless, because if only BNL has money and nobody else, then money is just BNL's pieces of paper. Why would anyone care if BNL has an endless shitton of small green pieces of paper that are basically useless for everybody. And even if the money isn't printed, then these numbers in the bank account are also meaningless, because, again, their bank account would be the only bank account. If you agree with this opinion, please upvote, so that more people would see it and know that the economics of this is unsustainable, unless there is a way for people on the ship to earn money and the basic cycle of economics to continue.

[@Wiggins-]

Then we can assume BnL's plan WAS one of two things here 1. Is that they did truthfully intend to clean it up. Make a problem for free, get people to pay you to get away from said problem, fix problem while people are gone for little to no cost (The self-sustaining Wall-E robots) However, ph levels in the atmosphere rose too high for people to come back, and the Wall-E bots were too inefficient. The raised levels of ph in the atmosphere would also explain why the huge majority of Wall-E bots were broken down, as it would increase the rate at which they rust and erode. Especially in that acid rain and the insanely strong windstorms that would result from the increased temperatures, which would throw tons of garbage, debris, shrapnel, etc.. through the air. 2. Or that they simply wished to control people, they do own basically everything in the pixar universe after all, their plan from the start could have been world domination, and it's so much easier to control everyone when the world part isn't a factor anymore, and everyone is on your company space-boats. Either way, due to a much longer flight than planned, and management being left to the robots, BnL's plan had gone awry and backfired.

Except Wall-E is a fictional universe with literary characters, not actual people. Plus, I'm pretty sure what shah was talking about is that MattPatt was explaining how we humans aren't going to destroy the planet with our waste, and that's something to be glad about. Ya pessimist.

MatPat's Diet Coke addiction won't be a problem if he recycles the cans and if The Coca-Cola company uses recycled aluminium to make Coke cans. (Idk if they do that, but if they don't, then they should)

[@itrilachgar3742]

this theory could easily disprove the cannibalism theory, as if BNL knew they were going to be up there that long, they could’ve easily prepared the correct amount of food. the cannibalism theory has BNL doing this through means: the humans they recycled, motive: they did not have enough food at all, and opportunity: they had 700 years to make the human food, but with this new theory that takes out the motive for BNL. you could potentially replace this motive with the motive that it was cheaper to recycle humans, but you would need a whole other theory for this.

If you could control humanity in anyway, i'm pretty sure companies would jump the first chance they could. So not only are they a company now, they dictate how you live while living wealthy because everyone has to buy their products, no competition whatsoever.

[@panvi3181]

So how does BnL get money if none of the people on their cruise are working. They broke the economy so how can their goals be financially based...

[@akaunkel7758]

If I rememeber right, in the movie they said that the passengers would be in space for like 5 years. My guess is that the first generation probably had to pay to be on the ships and later when they were supposed to come back to eath, the polution was much worse than expected, after all, in the movie is said that now humanity has to stay in space because of that. basically BnL fuck up

[@reidepperson8534]

The people who originally ran BnL are long dead....

[@AmmyMal]

If I have learned anything about big corporations, they tend to not think too far past a few years, or in some cases even a few months. Most would rather make more money in a few short months then a lot of money in the longer term. They probably thought the clean up was not going to take as long as it did. I mean, something for only 10 years of cleaning wouldn't tank the economy much after all.

[@johnmartin4119]

Panvi The Pear I assume the original plan, as MattPatt suggests, was to make money getting people's life savings and income to pay for the five year vacation in space. But once the CEO's found out that the garbage was too much, they went from financial concern to pure survival, allowing the Axiom to be a permanent home for their passengers so they don't become furious with them and keep the passengers in a submissive state so they don't realize how badly BnL fucked up. Thus the people were kept occupied/distracted by the now "free" cool stuff the ship had to offer, while the CEOs just faded in the background. And of course, while the CEOs left to lick their wounds, they left the machines in charge to run everything, programmed to use their technology to distract them so they never want to leave.

[@annaconigliaro2907]

Jakob Farmer the problem of wal-e is a company wanting to become a monopoly and the solution would be busting that

[@blackearl7891]

Congratulations you ran into the problem of corporate capitalism. Yes greed is good, but more greed is inevitable as the market entices companies to exploit the system for a profit. One of the greater benefits of capitalism is competition but competition isnt the goal. It's the side effect. The goal is to corner the market and establish complete control of product distribution to maintain high capital for themselves and investors irregardless of the effect of consumers. Extremely short sighted for short run high profits.

[@puerileprolific7620]

blackearl7891 All hail lord Rockefeller!

[@flawles3893]

I've watched this three times now, and every time it makes less sense. If you had absolute total control of everything, then money has no value (even if we put aside that there is no way those people on the Axiom actually have jobs). The only thing is BnL, so the concept of money makes no sense on the Axiom. Even if they had it, it would come from BnL, so a motive rooted in monetary gain would make no sense

[@LolGamer5]

THANK YOU, this exactly. There is no reason for them to want money when they literally OWN earth and every single star cruiser with total control over it all.
