Was he an replicant?

Was he an replicant?

Does it matter?

Yes.

maybe

I dont know, ask him

no, why couldn't he free himself in both films?

Lets for sake arguement say Deckard isn't a replicant, then it would mean that his relationship with both Rachel and the other replicants means that there is no meaningful difference between him (a human) and them. If he is a replicant, it means that replicants are able to integrate so well into the world, that they can live full and natural lives (thanks to the existance of his daughter), that they may as well be the same at the end of the day.

Yes, because then he should be arrested

WAS DUNCAN A REPLICATE???????? Pls respond

Whether Deckard was a replicant or not is irrelevant, what's more important is that they never replicate one of the dullest franchises in the history of movie franchises. Each episode following the boy replicant and his pals from Los Angeles as they track down assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make technology untechnological, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Ridley vetoed the idea of Deckard being human; he made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody? just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for his films. The Blade Runner series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-Star Trek series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least the original was good though r-right
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the story was terrible. As I watched, I noticed that every time Deckard went for to "investigate", the character instead became a farcical parody of a detective, equipped in some versions with his own gloomy inner monologue.

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time a phrase was repeated, to remind the audience of what was happening. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Villeneuve's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that he has no other style of directing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Blade Runner by the same George Lucas. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are watching Blade Runner at 21 or 22, then when they get older they will go on to watch Star Wars." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you watch "Blade Runner" you are, in fact, trained to watch Star Wars.

>Star trek FC godtier
>thor and SAO even on this list

this is bait and it worked

i haven't seen the movie yet but i saw someone say that the kid being a hybrid of replicant and human proves he has to be human since he's the father?

Within the film the villian debates whether Deckard and Rachel were designed to fall in love with eachother

oh shit, okay.

i have to fucking watch this.

>I've seen things you people wouldn't believe
>you people

what did he mean 'you people'

He also doesn't know if Deckard is human or Replicant because all the records of the older replicants were wiped

One thing I haven't seen anybody mention about 2049: Deckard somehow surviving in irradiated Las Vegas seems to intentionally bring into question whether or not he's human. When Wallace's men attack the casino you can see that they're wearing breathing masks, but Luv and K don't need them, and we never see Deckard wearing one.

His purpose was to die. Him living there doesn't answer any questions.

k's scanner says the radiation levels are nominal in that area. you could take that to say that they're nominal for a superhuman like k, but the bees seem to be thriving too

animals like bees and, particularly, moths have a high tolerance for irradiated zones

You're not meant to know

The whole point of the films is the questioning of what makes us human

>I know what's real
The line confirms we still don't know explicitly. Both work on every level narratively. Ultimately it doesn't matter, he was never the focus of either movie. Just a player of moderate importance to move things along.

The unicorn daydream/ origami just means that Deckard and Gaff were Bronis. Gaff was signalling, "now's your chance to ditch LA and get that unicorn replicant you're been talking about for years". Friendship is magic, man

It depends on whether you side with Scott and he is a replicant, or Ford and the screenwriter who performed and wrote it as if he weren't.
And on what version you watched.

user, just stick to harry potter posting
it doesn't translate well to other franchises

What's the yellow one?
I clearly can't read the non-english title.
