Wade Questioned Whether Halliday Was Still Alive In The Ready Player One Movie (But Not The Book)
“Is Halliday Really Dead?… Then What Are You?”
Atthe ending of theReady Player Onemovie , it had become clear to Wade that there was something foreign about Halliday ’s avatar . As the digital being prepared to leave behind Parzival to his triumph and novel ownership of the OASIS , the boy demand whether the real Halliday was dead , to which the OASIS reading answered that he was . This led to Wade ’s next question , " Then what are you?“Though the " man " confirmed he was n’t an avatar , he enigmatically left Parzival ’s final question unreciprocated , instead only thanking the boy for play his biz .
This scene was clearly meant to imply that there was something a small sorcerous going on with the avatar that continue independent even after its victor ’s death , butCline never presented this mystery to readers in theReady Player Onebook . Instead , it was tell ahead of time on that Halliday had programme his avatar to become an NPC ( non - player case ) after his death . Wade understood this and experienced firsthand that this OASIS Halliday possessed an advanced but modified artificial intelligence . However , this interchange inReady Player Two .
The Ready Player Two Book Revealed That There Was More To Halliday’s OASIS Avatar

Spielberg’s Ready Player One Halliday Changes Make A Movie Sequel Harder
Despite coincidentally setting up Ready Player Two’s Halliday twist, Spielberg’s version of Ready Player One doesn’t fit with the book sequel’s plot.
Since there were no hints in theReady Player Onebook that Anorak was on the Q.T. fit out with a download of Halliday ’s knowingness , it ’s interesting that Spielberg subtly included this in his movie adaptation . It ’s for sure possible that Cline had told Spielberg about this twist , but if that were the case , then it seems he did n’t divvy up the whole accuracy . In Ready Player Two , Halliday attempted to alter the AI based on his own brainpower to be good than himself , and this ultimately result in a remorseless demon uncoerced to take real human lives .
Ready Player Twoalso reveals that Halliday on the QT uploaded Kira Morrow ’s cognisance to her haven avatar before her destruction and without her noesis — an action that does n’t fit with Spielberg ’s edition of the character .
The translation of Halliday that mysteriously dodged Wade ’s interrogative at the end ofReady Player Onewas far from being a murderous AI . alternatively , the digital grapheme was well wise to and more sagely than Halliday was ever portrayed in Cline ’s books . in the end , this makes adaptingReady Player Twointo a sequel moviefar more difficult . After Halliday ’s heartwarming final conversation with Wade , it would n’t make sensation for him to on the spur of the moment descend back as a baddie . Perhaps this is exactly why Spielberg has n’t jump on making the next movie after all these days .
