What the fuck? Why are his eyes glowing? Did I download a wrong version?

What the fuck? Why are his eyes glowing? Did I download a wrong version?

anyone? this shit has a million cuts. I want to know which one is the right one.

Ridley Scott always maintained that Deckard is a replicant.

This.

Except everyone else knows that's BS and he just suddenly decided that Deckard was a replicant because it was a cheap way of "adding depth" to the character.

he's still a replicant in 2049

Deckard is literally a replicant.

I don't understand why so many people are in denial about this.

The original movie was supposed to be more vague about it, which is why they cut the unicorn scene out. Ridley Scott was more direct about it

He's definitely not replicant, even if he was intended to be. 30 years have passed since the first movie and a major point of the whole movie is that Roy wanted a longer life than he was meant to be.

Harrison Ford disagrees

The original movie had nothing about it, Deckard was a human, but Scott later chose to put that unicorn shit in a new edition because he saw it as an easy and cheap way to give the character "more depth".

A major point of the original was that Rachael was the "first" of a line of a replicants that were extremely advanced, to the point of getting pregnant.

The N8s in 2049 also had unlimited lifespans, eg Sapper Morton.

Deckard being an N7 is plausible and doesn't break the lore.

So?

Deckard is a Nexus 8 prototype

Deckard was in the hunting business for years before Rachael came out, an experimental Nexus 7, and got BTFO by Nexus 6

>Deckard was in the hunting business for years before Rachael came out

We have no idea how long Deckard was a Blade Runner for, nor how long he's been alive. He could have been with the police for only 2 years before the events of Blade Runner start.

They didn't cut anything, it was never vague, he was always human. Scott put the footage in years later for the directors cut. Literally everyone else involved in the making of the movie, and anyone who isn't a retarded hack in general, agrees he's human and implying otherwise fucks up the entire film. You want a good movie about a replicant hunting other replicants, watch the sequel.

the author and screenwriter disagrees

/r/tv/ can't read.

Hol up phams. Are the replicants clones or robots?

2049 kept the ambiguity
good choice

they manufactured humans, not quite robots but artificial basically 3d printed flesh with programs to recreate life

the actor not acting with full knowledge of the character doesn't change a fact regarding a character

The author of the novel and the screenwriter of the film also disagree. Basically everyone who worked on the film disagrees except the director (who made up his mind years after the initial release)

No programs guy. They're just clones.

>The author of the novel
blade runner is not a 1:1 adaptation of the DADOES
>the screenwriter
fancher likes the ambiguity and refuses to confirm but an early draft of the screenplay does have deckard realizing he is a replicant at the end

Obviously not, he ages
Replicants don't, they have an expiration date

nexus 6 had expiration dates
newer models age
tyrell even made a special model that got pregnant

considering part of the theory is that tyrell made deckard to fall for and impregnate racheal, it's not a leap to understand he was also given average strength and natural aging to consider himself human

Ford and the guy who wrote the script says otherwise. And i would rather believe them than to a guy who directed current Alien.

They aren't clones you idiot. Clones go through normal life cycles, the same ones a human would go through.

Replicants are manufactured not grown. On top of that they aren't anyone's clone, they're made to order. They aren't human

What else did you find, you know out of that shit you pulled out of your ass

if deckard is replicant is a very shitty one

>Deckard was in the hunting business for years before Rachael came out
that's what he remembers. The same way Rachel remembered other stuff that wasn't true.

because he's about to rape sean young

The wrong Scott died.

>The wrong Scott died
>died
that's not how you spell "suicide"

It literally says in the opening crawl the newer models have open-ended lives, and since no one goes around screaming about skinjob immortally in 2049, it's implied they also age (look at sapper mortan and freysa, no one is going to produce replicants that aren't aesthetically their peak if they do not age) If the nexus 6 models didn't have the expiration imposed, they would also age naturally, as biologically they're pretty much just peak humans.

as for the tyrell theory 2049 pretty much says through wallace that deckard was either programmed or destined to fall for rachel, the original blade runner screenwriter keeping the ambiguity going, but implying if he's a replicant he was made so he wouldn't know it and would produce offspring.

The right one is the Directors Cut. Even though Deckard is not a replicant

Deckard being human gives the story more thematic weight. Deckard being a replicant is just a cheap twist.

Wasn't there some cut stuff that had Tyrell as a replicant as well?

Was his boss also a replicant with implanted memories of Deckard? Come on now.

Why would his boss need implanted memories? All he has to know is Deckard is a replicant and a Blade Runner.

Did Tyrell have a bunch of implanted memories so that he didn't reveal the secret to Rachael? Doubtful.

>2049 pretty much says through wallace that deckard was either programmed or destined to fall for rachel

or that rachael was designed so that he would fall for her. which sounds ludicrous since deckard has no ulterior importance whatsoever before banging her.

Or it was all a ruse...

Tyrell could have knowingly made both Rachael and Deckard; one to find replicants, and one to hide while being one.

Gaff spent the entire movie trying to drop hints to Deckard.

What if Gaff is a replicant who was programmed to think that Deckard was a replicant?
