In nearly every addition to the series, fans follow it differently sword runner as they work to ‘retire’ the Duplicates they are tasked with removing. However, having a sequel to the original movie proves Blade Runners (while entertaining to watch) is completely unnecessary.
1982’s Blade Runner follows Rick Deckard, an LAPD’s Blade Runner who is hired for a hunt for Top Secret Copies. He is tasked with killing a small group of Replicators before they kill the most powerful man in this hellish cyber-future setting: Tyrell. Tyrell Corp is responsible for creating the Nexus Series Replicants, and the rogue models in Blade Runner are only created with a lifespan of three years and have full perception and understanding of their horribly short lives. Self-aware copyists are key in the chain, and it’s done so they can become more productive workers in dangerous out-of-the-world jobs. However, that also led to rebellion, like what fans first witnessed in this 1982 film. While Deckard and the Blade Runner Unit were the solution to that problem, there was always a much simpler solution right in front of them, and Tyrell’s successor proved it.
Blade Runner: Black Lotus showed a better way to control clones
In Blade Runner: Black Lotus episode 4 (written by Kenji Kamiyama and Eugene Son, and directed by Kenji Kamiyama and Shinji Aramaki), the Duplicator, Elle, begins to remember that she is, in fact, a Duplicator. , as well as all the horrors. which she experienced in her short life. Elle remembers that she woke up inside a ruined structure in the middle of the desert with a group of other Replicators who also didn’t know they were Replicators. Then a small group of humans appeared and started shooting each of these Duplicators with what they called ‘The Doll Hunt’. While this is perhaps the most brutal scene in the entire Blade Runner series, it’s not without purpose in the world, as this ‘Doll Hunt’ is actually aimed at testing a kind of Star Man. new copy – a model completely dependent on humanity.
Tyrell Corp’s successor, Wallace Corp, wanted to see if Duplicators could be made to never rebel or be able to harm humans, even under the extreme stress of hunting – and it was successful. The Copyists tried with all their artificial hearts to fight back, but they simply couldn’t do it. Only Elle survived the hunt, but that’s because she was specially created by Niander Wallace, Jr. to become an assassin, unlike the subordinate clones she was with. Because of Elle, the whole thing was deemed a failure, and Niander Wallace, Jr. never again created his Duplicates with the idea of submission in mind (because he thought of them as more like his own children, and even the next stage of human evolution) under his guiding hand). However, just because Niander Wallace, Jr. Not caring about this particular design detail doesn’t mean it can’t be done, and this episode clearly proves that it’s possible.
If Niander Wallace, Jr. without the divine complex, and more like Tyrell in terms of implementing fallback protections in the Replicator himself, he can create every Replicator like the ones shown in this episode. That way, they wouldn’t physically be able to harm humans, which would render the Blade Runner Unit obsolete. In other words, the sword runner is completely unnecessary, and a simple Replicant upgrade in Black Lotus proves why.
