Apparently the original plan was for the machines to use the brains of humans for computing power, like a giant neural network. But movie execs thought that was too complicated for the average movie goer and they made them change it to the battery thing.
Using them for processing power made more sense but they could probably done it better by just maintaining the brains and not the entire body, or even just made neural networks and ditch the humans. Also I assumed the goop is just made from the dead humans. They also never explain how they make new humans, they clone them? Artificial insemination?
But like… we eat a LOT of calories a day to stay alive as a whole body I can’t imagine dead bodies being enough to feed us unless the population is going down a LOT. (Like a human body has maybe 2 years worth of calories)
I would say maybe less in a coma but those humans have fully developed bodies and muscles and all, so should be consuming about the same.
And yeah, extra processing power makes more sense than battery.
A fucking tortilla gives you enough energy to run for half an hour, we’re crazy efficient compared to machines, but the machines just needed a plentiful energy source and it wouldn’t matter that much. Yeah, the original brain computing made a lot more sense:

Where do they get new humans? Why do they keep the whole body?
Have you ever had a wet dream?
If you cum in the Matrix you cum in real life.
Warm vat of liquid goo doesn’t sound so nice when it’s recirculation community jizz (I mean, not to mention. I ain’t judging.)
They answer this in the movie. Humans aren’t born. They are grown.
So probably artificial insemination.
