Can someone explain to me the Nexus models? > nexus 6 - four year lifespan. Roy, Priss > nexus 7 - ??? > nexus 8 - normal lifespan, has barcode on right eye.
What edition is best girl Luv and K? What edition was Batista (not 8 cuz he didn't have barcode)? What edition was Rachel? And Deckard? .
>If that's his intention, he fails. Joi has no agency of her own, and no character's arc either. Just shut the fuck up and go back to watching Star Wars.
Zachary Hernandez
Batista was a 8, he had the eye barcode. So is the one eyed rebel woman. Luv and K where 9s, as was the hooker. the only 7 is Rachel perhaps deckard
Hudson Phillips
>What edition is best girl Luv and K 8 >What edition was Rachel? And Deckard? 7

Ian Barnes
Maybe Mariette was a Nexus-8.
Henry Evans
What was the point of that scene (in the image)?
Brandon Torres
>Luv and K They are 9s,
All 8s are on the run as per the opening card
Nathaniel Smith
I miss Luv. They better bring her back in Blade Runner 2051
Carson Wright
Prove me she does. You know you can't.
K's love for her was real, but she's a mere simulation of a perfect girlfriend. Really, the more you scream, the more I think you wanted to buy the fantasy as well.
Blake Cruz
The director wanted to show that even in this bleak world, life existed, and he felt bees where good since there a ton of reports that bees are dying out.
(Turns out that there are more bees now then 10 years ago, due to bee farmers investing in new hives)

Nexus 8 are pre-blackout Tyrell creations. The newer replicants are never named, but they definitely aren't called nexus based on Luv's dialogue with K.
Jace Myers
DID THEY TEACH YOU TO FEEL, FINGER TO FINGER? CELLS
Parker Jackson
But where did they come from? Was Deckard trying to make honey?

Josiah Martin
get this, you faggot idiot: through the experience of knowing K and taking part in his unusual adventure, she acquires persistent personality uniqueness, making her irreplaceable, mortal, and as much of a person as he ever was, and that is the entire fucking point of not only the movie, but its commentary on Dick's philosphical treatise from the novel.
Brayden Allen
She deleted herself from the main computer, had him remove the tracking device even if that was not his clear want.
the hooker at least could be the normal programming of letting K get the girl without guilt, but the actual sex scene shows the AI losing a bit of control while making out.
Adam Thomas
This track was so fucking good. The Tyrell Pyramids dwarfed by the fucking Wallace Fortress and the throat singing as the car approaching the building is just so goddam good. The timing of >Wallace Corp >Earth Headquarters Was so perfect too.

Joshua Watson
I can see how being a cartoon obsessed loser can warp your interpretation of the Joi subplot. Even with it being spelled out (anything you want to hear/see), you faggots still don't understand that the Joi program was indulging K's fantasy of having her become a real person.
Connor Foster
nexus 7 (rachel) must have a shortened life span too
Elijah Diaz
>you faggots still don't understand that the Joi program was indulging K's fantasy of having her become a real person. Something you created out of whole cloth in your mind. Fucking kill yourself.
Logan Scott
all Nexus-8s had been retired or were actively hunted down.
Mariette was working in a replicant whorehouse and walks right up to a blade runner and later has him as a client. A nexus-8 who would be on the run wouldn't be doing that. Nexus-8s can't even be legally on earth.
David Johnson
> she acquires persistent personality uniqueness
Where. What. Don't say kissing in the rain, being loving/jealous girlfriend. JOI personality is to love. K, Joe or Brad.
>and as much of a person as he ever was
Nope.
>She deleted herself from the main computer, had him remove the tracking device even if that was not his clear want.
That's a bit better, but it's still how she started the movie.
>I love you, K. >I love you, Joe.
Nothing changes within her.
Benjamin Ramirez
The throat singing makes it sound spooky, but powerful. I rewatched it today and it flew by so fast this time around.

Robert Lee
pretty clever of her to tell K to delete her so they couldnt get all the information out of her though. I guess she wouldnt care if she deleted anyway though
Henry Barnes
Do you want some 'K getting his own Luv' greentext?
Thomas Butler
UH HELL YES
Logan Fisher
They're Tyrell replicants you dumbass
Christopher Scott
Denis has stated that K's desire for authenticity in his life will blind him to the truth. This refers to both Joi and the replicant child red herring.
Quit pushing your pathetic headcanon.
Liam Lewis
Deckard proves thats not true. rachel died in childbirth.
Justin Cruz
She belongs to the resistance so she can't be a 9.

Nexus-9 a shit
Adam Sanchez
Seeing those pyramids completely black, and then utterly dominated by Wallace's building behind them sent a chill through me. It kinda made me wonder what Wallace's motivation was. Did he have some deeper reason to show his assertion of dominance over the dead Tyrell Corp.? The pyramids don't even look like they're being used, just two huge dark tombstones.
Ian Phillips
He didn't.
>You're special, Joe
K's wanted to feel wanted; he wanted to connect to someone but he felt inadequate do it (boss; even to JOI when he says 'don't say that') until he believed he was a real boy, thus he chases Deckard and demands to know about Rachel. JOI was an illusion, doing as she is programmed. Will he do the same? He rejects this entirely when he goes help Deckard.
Josiah Bell
Luv would be more likely to order her own K.
If she hadn't died that is.
Lincoln Wright
There are two ways to look at the Joi scene, and it depends on if you feel that it is contrasting, or reenforcing the rachel scene right before the joi billboard scene.
>Its all fake and code Viable answer >that Joi owned by K had become its own lifeform, with it unique quarks and affection for K, even if she was just following her code, it just like we have our own coding as per wallace. But his Joi is gone forever.
Both are completely valid points of view, and it depends on how you take the theme of the movie.
Justin Walker
K was resisting Wallace, as well as hiding information from the police before that. The whole "these new models can't resist" is clearly bullshit that humanity just assumed because they didn't stage a violent rebellion immediately.
Chase Russell
That which you desire is passing the point of no return. You are off the baseline.
James Cruz
This meme lacks to little structure to be forced til its funny.
At least WHOOOOOORE memes were structured.
Nicholas Hernandez
Okay, checked, and it does look like nexus-8 was still Tyrell. Fair enough. The only 2 Wallace replicants in the movie are K and Luv. K rebels, and Luv is MILES OFF HER BASELINE.
Michael Lee
No they are not, Nexus-9s are shown as part of the rebellion.
The only person who says they can't rebel is Wallace. Hell, most humans think Nexus-9s can't lie, but that was proven over and over again to be false. There is no logical explination how a wanted Nexus-8 that was being hunted down for retirement would be working in a whorehouse on a crowded cafe and then chat up a blade runner.
Hunter Nelson

If 9's couldn't rebel the baseline test wouldn't even be needed. The "complete obedience" thing was just marketing by Wallace so that he could make replicants again.
Tyler Bell
r8 edit
Aaron Miller
I believe that given more years, more learning, JOI may have evolved into a completely autonomous entity, even growing past her code that makes her unconditionally love K. You could definitely see the beginnings of it.
It would be interesting to know how long the JOI companion had been on the market prior to the time of the film. Is "she" a relatively new product, so they don't actually know yet what her evolutionary potential is?

>too There are shitloads of 8. They were all 8 in hiding. Many 8 were from off world and probably hide among the colonists too. They said it was to improve functionality. You can still obey and feel miserable while doing so, which lowers your productivity and effectiveness, especially as a Blade Runner
Landon Davis
>The only 2 Wallace replicants in the movie are K and Luv. WHUT?
Wallace Replicants shown are K, Luv, Mariette, newborn female, the other two hookers, and so on.
The only nexus-8s you see are Sapper and Freysa
Mason Stewart
This. >Oh man those Tyrell Pyramids are dark, I guess that industry is dead >wait >what the fuck >HOW ARE THOSE BUILDINGS SO HUGE >THAT'S Wallace Corp?!?! >EARTH Headquarters?!? How big is this fucking company?!
Robert Jenkins
Mariette is a human. She says so herself.
Ryder Kelly
First viewing it was "Joi is fake" Second viewing it is "Joi is just a product, but she was her own thing, and so am I" and I lean to that she was a real "person" just as replicants are real humans after a while. albit, not normal humans.
Isaac Ortiz
It's supposed to be blue and curve around the iris on sort of the bottom right of it, hence why they have to look up and to the left.
Anthony Martin
Could someone post the image of K during the GODDAMMIT scene
Hudson Price
>it was a lengthy eight-minute staccato dialogue, and Gosling delivered each take without hesitation for every camera angle
well of course he fucking did.
Juan Martinez
You mean like outright LYING about killing the child and withholding information?
Austin Rogers

Levi Martinez
Considering ads for her are everywhere, she's probably quite new.
Isaac Myers
She's not from the Nexus line tho. > also this image is taken years before 2049.
Brayden Price
He didn't say he'd killed it, only that he'd found it and "taken care of it".
Camden Clark
Where do you get the idea that Mariette or any of the hookers are Nexus 9s?
Also I'm pretty sure Rachael 2.0 was a Wallace replicant
Parker Anderson
thanks
Jackson Evans
Love it
same
He lies directly to her to end a order. That is refusal by one degree of separation. Mariette
>There are shitloads of 8. They were all 8 in hiding. Agreed, but a 8 in hiding isn't going to be working as a whore and then walk right up to a blade runner.
Logan Green
it was pretty cool too later on when we get a shot of the city skyline and the Wallace corp buildings form the logo (pic from the shiity camrip)
Sebastian Cruz
Unless she explicitly says to "kill the child" he does not lie in that scene. Everything he says in that scene is what he holds to be true at that moment.
Ian Thomas
In this scenario, Rachael absolutely seemed special compared to Joi. Almost everything about Rachael is lost due to the Tyrell company being shut down and a lot of records of her being destroyed. If they can fuck up something as simple as eye color, then she ain't ever coming back how Deckard remembered her. There will always be another Joi for K if he really wanted one.
Ryder Allen
So I guess misleading semantics and bending the truth are well in line with what Wallace had in mind with the Nexus-9, got it.
Jayden Moore
>He lies directly to her to end a order. That is refusal by one degree of separation.
By then he's way of his baseline, and its not really a lie, just a "lie by omission".
Ian Williams
Sorry for being retarded, but what was the deal with Wallace killing the replicant chick? I just don't get it.
Carson Robinson
JOI basically manipulating or advertising to K to buy the emanator is fucked up.
Leo Gray
>fuck up something as simple as eye color
But the only information they have of Rachael is audio and literal footage of her eyes.
Jason Howard
They LITERALLY have a conversation beforehand about how he has never killed anyone who is not a replicant or without a soul. What the fuck do you think they were talking about? Are you saying he can claim ignorance about what she means?
Robert Jones
They have her DNA.
Elijah Kelly
greentext user do your magic please
Austin Wright
Sean Young has brown eyes. Deckard rejected her because she wasn't HIS Rachel, the eyes thing was just some bullshit to stick it to Wallace.
Justin Morgan
>Mariette is a human. She says so herself. No she doesn't. She also listed as a replicant in promotional material.

>footage of her eyes
Her eyes look green in the Voight-Kampff test
James Wright
She doesn't. Anyone who says she does is absolutely retarded.
The whole massive Neon Joi scene was to show that everything Joi was doing she was programmed to do and it was K who was taking it like she wasn't the same as every other Joi out there.
