So was Deckard a replicant or not ?
What do you think?
No. Any suggestion that he is is retarded.
>>214298332based
Ridley mindbroke the fags on this board kek they literally ignore the actual text of the film showing you he is a replicant to have their own headcanon
>>214298314he was a eunuch horn, clearly
>the actual text of the film showing you he is a replicant
>>214298332spbp
>>214298314In the original movie fans enjoyed, he was human. In the cut where Ridley pulled a George Lucas and changed everything, he was now a replicant even though that's retarded and idiotic. Not like you can stop Ridley from changing it.
Wouldn’t he have to be to survive out in the radiated wasteland in the sequel?
>>214298314No.
>>214298512No. Another movie made decades after the fact by an unrelated person has nothing to do with the meaning of the original film
>>214298332This. Old interviews of Harrison Ford confirmed he and Ridley talked about this during filming and it was definitive that Deckard is not a replicant. Old man Ridley the hack forced that into the Final Cut. More evidence is that Ridley had to take footage of a unicorn from a different film Legend which was never intended to be in Bladerunner. Ridley should have retired after Gladiator and never touched any of his earlier works.

>>214299247the final cut is the best version but you just have to pretend it's not really really strongly insinuating he's a replicunt because it's a dumb twist, Ford was right
Yes, going by the book (the actual story)
Book: YesDirector's cut: YesTheatrical cut: No2049: ?
>>214298314No because Deckard was still alive in 2049. Replicants only had a 4 year lifespan—that's the whole reason Batty and the others came to Earth the begin with. They went to Tyrell to see if there was some way to extend it.
>>214299247What's even funnier is he stole an unused shot from the Shining for the happy theatrical "I'm human and this replicant that I fuck will live until 80," ending. But even with how the movie plays out, why is Edward James Olmos always the first guy on the scene? It starts to unconsciously feed you that Decker has a handler who is too precious to fist fight super strong replicants. So why doesn't this fucking guy take bumps? Then you realize that Decker is literally weaponized. Harrison Ford picked up on it, confronted Scott, and got lied to because he needed Decker to act like he didn't know he wasn't human. I didn't see the sequel. Why was he still alive?
>>214299247>ake footage of a unicorn from a different film LegendYou anti-Ridley jeets just continually parrot this blatant lie to suit your fucking headcanon kek, it was literally shot during the Blade Runner shoot and there is BTS evidence to prove it.
>>214298314>>214298332in whatever was the most recent special edition it's heavily implied he is, retardo. even ridley says he is
The entire legacy of the OG film rests on one single, midwit-tier question: "HURR DURR IS HE A ROBOT OR NOT??"Boomers and plebs have argued about this for 40 fucking years like it's the deepest shit ever written.2049 comes along, calls it the retarded, soi-facing fan-fiction question it is, and then does something actually profound.>the original: hits bong "whoa man, like, what if robots had feelings? what even is a human?">2049: provides an actual nuanced answer for adultsThe point isn't about being some magic "chosen one", but about a literal npc realizing he's not the main character and still choosing to do the right thing anyway
>>214299804You watch capeshit slop? Where on the spectrum are you? You do know that movie was a soulless fanfic cash grab, right? Right, anon?
>>214299968You haven't addressed any of my points, I'll take that as a win.
>>214299804>still choosing to do the right thing anywayWhich flies in the face of his programming
>>214300149Nice catch.
>>214299504>even ridley says he isI wouldn't listen to a fucking thing he says after the fact. He definitively told Ford at the time that Deckard was human and the story works far better if he is.
>>214300194I feel like I'm being condescended to but in any case I always thought the transition of the ever-present rain into snow was meant to symbolize K's transcendence to man
>>214299804>>214298507>>214300225the film really isn't any good. it's pretty boring and it's the definition of substance over style. the only reason it has any following or legacy is the imagery and world building looks cool and got aped by anime. otherwise it's a really boring film
>>214300344I think you're onto something, and I'm going to pay attention to that part next time around. It makes total sense in the context of the story
>the meaning of the original blade runner is it doesn't matter if he is or isn't
>>214299504Ever hear of the term, "Death of the Author"?With Ridley "Syphilis Riddled" Scott, you need to murder the author.
>>214298314He passed a Voigt-Kampff in PK Dick's source novel
>>214299504Ridley said Blade Runner and Alien are in the same universe. Even when in Blade Runner there are synthetic humans and in Alien there are cybernetic androids
