Usually in a movie or most stories the protagonist will at least treat one person well (or hell, they'll give them a dog to pet to establish some sympathy for them).

But I am truly struggling to think of one person that Deckard treated with decency. He literally treated everybody he met like shit. The sushi cook, Gaff, Bryant, Tyrell, Rachel especially, the snake salesman, Taffy, Zhora and the other replicants, the cop.

The only person I think he treated okay was the Asian snake scale lady and eyepatch woman he bought from Tsing tao from, and that was like about a minute. And maybe Holden (but that was a deleted scene, so I don't really count it).

IMO, Deckard is truly one of the most unlikable protagonist ever in a movie. Then again, if I lived that kind of fucked up world, maybe I'd be like that too.

When Batty kills Tyrell it's violent and motivated by confused underdeveloped feelings of hatred and disappointment after all he's gone through to get in the same room as him. Leading a revolt with his comrades off-world, hijaking a shuttle to get to Earth, getting info out of Tyrell corp through Leon, turning the screws on Chew and honey-trapping Sebastian via Pris to get to where he needs to be. It was no small feat.

After he crushes Tyrell's head, we see him approach a terrified, cornered Sebastian while saying "Sorry Sebastian. Come, come." and although we don't see him get murdered on screen, Bryant reports to Deckard his body found with along with Tyrell's.

But Sebastian was sympathetic to their cause and helped them, albeit under duress. So do you think Batty killed him in a less violent way? It has to have been by hand as there were no weapons in the room. Blunt force trauma to the head maybe? Or do you think he gouged his eyes out and crushed his skull too?

I had the UK ‘Annual’ that collected these, but it smells so bad of cigarette smoke and is tainted yellow from the nicotine, so really pleased to get the original comics. The pages smell of 1982 but in a good way.

Silka Luisa (Shining Girls) is credited as the creator, showrunner, and writer of Blade Runner 2099, though additional (but unknown) writers were brought in at some point during development.

Jonathan van Tulleken (Shōgun) is directing the (for now) limited series, taking over from Jeremy Podeswa (Game of Thrones), who had to depart due to scheduling issues after the WGA and SAG strikes started.

Original Blade Runner director Ridley Scott remains on board as executive producer alongside Luisa and Michael Green (writer on Blade Runner 2049), among others.

I’m trying to find a way to watch bladerunner final cut, it’s not on Max, Tubi, and I’m not buying it on BLU-Ray, if anybody has a way to watch it (preferably free..) then please comment or dm it to me

Thank youuuuu~

I’m thankful for the White Dragon Cut

After finishing his baseline he’s authorized to pick up a bonus. Probably a fairly sizable one for taking a brick shithouse like sapper out. Next time we see K he’s home trying to slyly give (the world’s most beautiful woman Anna De Armas) JOI a gift. The emitter that allows her to go with him wherever he wants to. It adds some depth to his character, or am I crazy?

What I understand to have happened: Six Nexus 6 replicants, including Batty, Pris, Zhora, Leon, and Mary, who lived in/defended the Off World Colony (on Mars? Tannhaüser Gate? Venezuelan Moons?) have revolted and hijacked a shuttle to come to Earth, killing many humans along the way. Their mission is to try to extend their limited lifespan by getting to Tyrell somehow and confronting him about it. On getting to Earth, they try to break in to Tyrell Corp, where Mary and another one get fried in an electrical field. In another attempt to get into the corporation, Leon gets a job as a waste disposal engineer, before getting weeded out by Holden, who VKs him with a positive result a week later.

Is there some sort of fanfic or graphic novel that covers this prelude stuff? Because I'd read it!

Found this from 1982. In the back it has an enrollment form for the official fan club. It's still in there so I guess I never joined. Bummer.

This scene was a pretty accurate Future prediction. If you look at the ai technology today. A machine can understand and do what you want. And photo enhancement looks nowadays like magic. It's crazy who this turned out.

It's finally here and I'm sharing this fanedit. Please let me know if it's against the rules.
Yes, it's only on Stereo. Yes, it only has (optional) japanese subtitles. I still haven't watched it, but anyway, here it is.

…that everyone in Bladerunner is a replicant and the hidden rulers are experimenting with different ways to make them aware of this without the inevitable suicides that have previously taken place. There is no Offworld, there are no more natural humans, just a dwindling amount of replicants with scattered memories of a lost biological race.

After watching both Blade Runner movies this scene stuck on my mind.

Hi, blade runner, since I watched it a few years ago as a 14 year old, has always been my favorite movie. I really loved it and also read the book it was based on (beautiful as well). But last week, after months of trying to convincing my gf to watch blade runner, I watched it again and didn't like it as much. Last time I watched I even got emotional and I remember it being very good and understanding it completely. This time it felt strange. Full of plotholes, a non cohesive narration, scenes I don't remember, the external narration, and errors like when he says' there are 6 replicants but they are actually 5. I searched it up online, and it might be because when I watched it this time I watched the final cut or directors cut version, while this time I watched an older version (like the international). I think it might be a plausable reason, because I watched it on a streaming site that maybe had that version. What's your opinion on this?

It's hard to put my finger on it, but there's something about the visuals and the sounds of both Blade Runner movies that feels oddly cozy to me.

It's dystopian as hell, but something about the visual style makes me want to wrap myself in a cozy blanket or something.

And while the world is a dystopia part of me feels like the world also presents opportunity. Life is rough, but you have flying cars interplanetary travel, holograms, and so on.

If anything the night life is probably wild.

Maybe it's because the world looks so lived-in. It's dystopian but people still find a way to get by. Makes me wonder what life would be like in one of these cities. Maybe I could eat ramen and watch a hologram movie or something.

Am I the only one who gets this sort of feeling from these movies?

Loved the film and looking to experience more of the Blade Runner world. I’ve seen that the book and original film take slightly different directions.

Is it worth doing one before the other or do most watch the film and skip the book?
