so was he a replicant?
So was he a replicant?
Considering he's in the sequel and she isn't, no.
he's in the sequel and she isn't, so yes.
DC should have made it obvious
according to the writer and director of the film, yes.
Who cares?
no hes not a replicant and ywn convince me otherwise
>HEY DECKARD YOU KNOW HOW I GAVE YOU THAT ORIGAMI UNICORN? IT'S BECAUSE I KNOW THE CONTENTS OF YOUR DREAMS BECAUSE THEY'RE IMPLANTED MEMORIES. YOU'RE A REPLICANT.
did you miss this piece of dialogue
Wrong! philip k. dick wrote Deckard as a human, the screenwriter INSISTED Deckard is a human, Harrison Ford stated in several interviews he played him as a human in mind. Only that old senile pants shitting failed abortion bastard cocksucker wrong-brother-died-too-soon Ridley Scott with his sponge dissolving shitbrain likes to claim otherwise. but then again that diaper wearing cockshit also brainstormed Prometheus Alien Covenant
Deckard is a brand new nexus. His memories are those of Gaff, and the events in the movie is the first test. That's why Gaff is paying close attention, and why they bring him out of retirement (tell him I'm eating)
The dream was added in one of the later cuts
She replicates my boner if you know what I mean
Ridley going back and saying he was always a replicant is George Lucas levels of self delusion and revisionism.
The glow in his eyes isn't intentional.
He's an early model without the 4 year limit and his strength and durability aren't enhanced.
Pretty sure he is, yeah. He lives in the uninhabitable nuclear wasteland of Las Vegas without needing any protective equipment and fathered a child with another experimental replicant.
It's intentionally left up to the viewer to decide. I like to think that he was.
She died in childbirth but was one of the nexus 7's made without 4 year lifespans.
Personally I never liked the idea that Deckard was a replicant in the original. I think it makes the ultimate point of the film irrelevant if he isn't human.
I'm a big fan of the original, I just don't agree with Scott's retcon headcannon.
Patrician theory:
Deckard is a real human who used to be a Blade Runner. Dealing with replicants is dangerous work, and the powers that be decided to create copies of Deckard to serve as a disposable Blade Runner workforce. Every use of a Deckard replicant starts with the replicant being "pulled out of retirement".
The fucking BEES. pay more attention next time.
It's just as well the sequel confirms the ultra-happy-ride-into-the-sunset ending of the original as being canon then.
Gaff is the OG skinjob hunter
he could drink liquor with a split lip, yes
This is just like the Deckard is Gaff theory except it's dumber and even more baseless.
why didn't deckard know why replicants come back to earth?
this is the only shot where deckard has glowing eyes because it's also the only shot in which he's facing the same way as rachel. the way they achieved the effect was by reflecting light into the actors. harrison ford just got caught in this shot and ridley probably insisted on keeping it instead of using another take because he's was the only retard pushing the deckard-replicant theory
Yes, you pleb dummies.
I liked Drive: 2049 alright, I don't think it's better than the original, but I enjoyed it. That being said when I first heard they were making it I think it was a missed opportunity to make a straight Do Androids Dream... adaptation.
Just imagine the Goose cast as Deckard from the book, and the whole Fake-Police HQ run by secret replicants almost mindfucking him into thinking he really IS a replicant sequence. That could have been a really tight tense scene. The whole conclusion where deckard realizes that what makes humans human is their ability to feel empathy. Doesn't matter if the thing they care about is real or fake, the act of them caring about it imbues it with something.
Just imagine turbo autist goose finding the toad in the desert and having his epiphany when he realizes its artificial.
I self medicated two wisdom teeth getting yanked with wild turkey.
This.
ITS JUST A DEAD END FOR FOOLS LIKE YOU
It literally doesn’t matter if he was or wasn’t. It wouldn’t change any aspect of his character.
It's not even debatable. He clearly is. The only debate herein is whether or not it was a good choice.
the whole point of the movie is that there's no substantial physiological difference between humans and replicants - replicants are just genetically engineered humans with a short lifespan
Everyone involved with the original film has said that he’s not, and was never intended to be a replicant. Ridley is just autistic and all the extra cuts ensure people keep spending money to see it.
>According to a guy who doesn't understand his own films, yes
Wait what?
I forget the name of the cuts but of 3 different ones he was either confirmed yes confirmed no or maybe
you like traps?
If he was it would be a good movie, so he isn't.
>augmented cuts
100% this.
Making him a replicant retroactively made the original worse.
I'd love to see it but the goose wouldn't fit that role.
He's a human and anyone that says otherwise is a retard
Summer?
No, he's a replican.
hes republican
>the whole point of the movie is that there's no substantial physiological difference between humans and replicants
Exactly. The movie is about "when does a machine stop being a machine and become a living being instead".
Ridley changed it later.
>Ridley changed it later.
He should have stayed inside Metroid.
In the book a replicant asks deckard if he knows he's human or not to put doubt in his mind so he would be let go.
Deckard wonders whether he is human for a short while but finds out he is just human.
In the film they never clearly state if he is or not to leave the audience to decide on their own, Ridley should have just shut up.
Thank god
I think it might technically still be spring where I am and the kids get out of school around the 17th.
yeah I always thought the tears in the rain monologue is better if you don't interpret either way people or replicates lose all their memories when they die and even those who remember us will die one day as well
I really like how the replicants never blink either, kinda unnerving
Is this what started the real human bean meme
>He should have
He came out and said that he basically doesn't give a shit about anything anymore but working, so if people don't like it, he doesn't care. He's just going to work until he dies, and he's already in his 80's.
No, watch drive (just marathon it, it's pretty short) all the way through and you'll understand.
>marathon a movie
do zoomers really have this short of attention spans?
Crummy replicants? He should have been hunting pails of water.
Dunno Just marathoned three commercials and Im kinda exhausted.
If he wasn't a replicant how could he have hurt K by punching him?
Deckard being a replicant is the absolute brainlet interpretation, one that Ridley likes to cling to in his senile old age because he’s been bitten by the “subverting expectations” but
Deckard being a replicant destroyes the underlying moral of the entire story
That is, in order for Deckard, a human, to do his job and survive he must think, act and feel like a Replicant. He becomes one in all but the absolute physical meaning of the word.
Racheal and other replicants meanwhile must think, act and feel like a Human in order to survive.
Deckard being a replicant destroys the entire films juxtaposition.
I'd replicate with her, if you know what I mean. If you don't, it means that I would have sex with her.
I don't think he was a replicant, but either a brainwashed human, or an experimental cyborg. I think his meeting with Rachel, the N7, was planned all along so they could create a child.
Gotta be, that's the only reason you're here underagefag.
This
The whole point of Roy Batty saving Deckard's life on the rooftop was the irony of machine being more humane than the human
>whole point of Roy Batty saving Deckard's life on the rooftop was the irony of machine being more humane than the human
Nah.....got make it "machine saves machine" or something stupid for the morons.
