Goofs
A key distinction between the source material and the film is that the Major in this film has her original human brain, which has been transplanted into a cybernetic body. In the original film she is fully cybernetic, including her brain, with only her 'ghost' transferred from her original body. This is the core of her existential crisis in the original film, as she literally does not know if she is still the original 'soul'. This film does touch on that with the nature of wiped/rewritten memories, but there can be no argument about whether her 'ghost' is present as she still has her original brain. Not only does this undermine her existential crisis in THIS film, but it also removes the meaning of the film's title, as she is no longer JUST a 'Ghost in the Shell'.
