Wade literally admits to having cyber-stalked her in one of their early meetings and after they “break up” (they hadn’t been dating, something Wade seems happy to ignore), he resumes that behavior.
As a huge fan of the book myself, I can’t say I disagree. Art3mis and ParzivalCritics of Ernest Cline’s novel often point to the thin drawing of Samantha Cook, Art3mis in the OASIS, and her being little more than a nerd fantasy for Wade to drool over.

The closest we get to a flicksync in the movie is the Jade Key challenge, which sends the High Five through a stunning recreation of The Shining’s Overlook Hotel, but even that scene features look-alike (well, look-a-kinda-like) actors as the Grady twins and the lady in Room 237.

These are enormously fun passages which seemed ripe for inclusion here, but were likely left out due to the visual effects wizardry that would’ve been required to believably skin Parzival as Matthew Broderick or the members of Monty Python for these scenes. In the novel, the Copper and Crystal Gates force players to play through WarGames and Monty Python and the Holy Grail, respectively. These standalone simulations drop users into a movie and makes them play through it as the protagonist, requiring them to perform all of their dialogue and actions on cue. Play Where are the Flicksyncs?One of the most memorable aspects of the book left out of Spielberg’s Ready Player One are flicksyncs. The Copper Key race and ticking clock hunt through the Overlook are visual feasts and certainly more cinematic than watching a D&D character play an arcade game would’ve been. Crystal Key: Discover the very first video game easter egg in Adventure, the 1980 Atari game.Jade Key: Ask for a dance with Kira, Halliday’s lost love, in the Gold Room of The Shining’s Overlook hotel.Copper Key: Survive a race through a city being defended by giant monsters and booby traps.That’s a lot to get through in two hours and fifteen minutes, so the filmmakers smartly choose to eliminate the gates from the equation, and in fact significantly alter the first two challenges: Crystal Gate: Beat Halliday’s high score in Tempest, complete a Monty Python and the Holy Grail flicksync, and discover the very first video game easter egg in Adventure, the 1980 Atari game.Crystal Key: Return a mythical guitar to its altar in the world of Rush’s classic concept album, 2112.Jade Gate: Win a 3D rendering of the 1987 platformer Black Tiger.Jade Key: Win a three-dimensional rendering of the text-based adventure game Zork.Copper Gate: Complete a WarGames flicksync (more on that below).Copper Key: Defeat Acererak the Demi-Lich (Dungeons and Dragons) in a best of three round of the 1982 arcade classic Joust.In the book, those challenges are as follows: The book’s hunt required Gunters to find a key, follow the clue included with that key to a matching gate, use it to enter the gate and complete a challenge of some kind, and repeat. Play The Structure of the HuntWhile finding all three of OASIS creator James Halliday’s hidden keys is necessary to unlock his easter egg, the novel actually features even more obstacles for Parzival and the legions of gunters.
