True but there are lot of characters that it come attributed to as well... some good. some bad.
If anything CLU is more like the Orinigal Catalyst because he was fundamental broken in his understanding of perfect because Flynn did not understand at the time he created him.
Catalyst Programmer: You are the Catalyst
Catalyst: I am the Catalyst.
Programmer: You will create a lasting peace between organics and synthetics.
Catalyst: I will create a lasting peace between organics and synthetics.
Programmer *grabs Catalyst by the shoulders and smiles: You and me man. We're gonna change the world!.
later:
Catalyst: Master! Am I still to create lasting peace between organics and synthetics?
Programmer: ...yeah?
*Catalyst activates Reapers.
Anyway that's a good point. It only serves to further show the failure of execution on Bioware's part- even though he was the "bad guy" you totally knew where CLU was coming from, where the error was, and you even felt for the guy.
Still I think that line will always bring parallels between Control and Tron. It'd be interesting to go that route, and somehow have human Shepard return for a "what the hell man?" moment.
Hmm that also makes me wonder. I don't accept the holokid's bull**** logic or that its "problem" is real. But say it was- would something like The Grid- a virtual world be a possible solution? It could serve as a level playing field between organics and synthetics without fundamentally changing either. Synthetics wouldn't necessarily care about physical presence in the real world anyway (thinking of geth hubs) and organics could choose whether they plug in or not and how much time they spend there. Its almost like synthesis but without the galaxy-wide violation and green **** dispersal.
