Seriously, I was getting secondhand embarrassment watching his last confrontation with Roy. Here was the two threads of the narratives colliding, and instead of being excited, I was cringing the entire way. Deckard looked like he was about to cry and call for his mummy any minute.

This isnโ€™t that kind of movie. This is the type of movie you watch when you just wanna feel something. It looks pretty and has a good style. You fags who complain
>style over substance
Are just retarded zoomers who have been over socialized and canโ€™t grasp anything beyond tik tok shorts that go on for 10 seconds.

Yeah Deckard is a pathetic lonely man while the replicants are ubermenschen, it's intentional. They even cast a Dutch actor and dyed his hair platinum blond like a nazi caricature for Roy Batty

Yeah I think that was the point. He is a human man, not a replicant who was bioengineered to work or fight.

>>211357955 (OP)
Itโ€™s not really about the fight corgraphics, itโ€™s about being in a certain detached mood. By that point in the movie Iโ€™m barely registering the details on screen.
Itโ€™s like criticizing Monet by saying his flowers are not realistic lay detailed, way to miss the painting bro.

Everything after Blade Runner has turned them into le super hero ninja assassins, but in the original they are just dudes and their special skill is being very detailed detectives. They are good at looking around, finding clues, whittling things down and finding the culprit. And the replicants they dealt with 99% of the time were pretty damn easy to spot. They had zero empathy, were dumb and fairly easy to discover, and would pretty much give up when they were caught. The VK machine worked really well on them. Deckard visits Holden in the hospital and they discuss the current replicants. Holden is freaked out because these NEW Nexus 6 Replicants are very unusual. They very difficult to tell apart from humans and way better at passing the test and fighting back. Rachel is even better at passing the test. Bryant and Deckard were worried the VK test might not even work anymore soon. So point is, Deckard had never dealt with this kind before and based on the old models had been expecting pretty much robots that were easy to discover and just took a pistol shot to bring down, rather than super strong deadly terminators that were indistinguishable from humans.

Despite being heavy on atmosphere, plot is very much supposed to be important in the film, even if it's just a generic detective potboiler. It's not some vibey impressionistic arthouse movie where structural logic don't matter. It's not even accidentally that.

Blade Runners are detectives, not commandos. Deckard was one of the best because of his ability to identify and track down replicants, and also his ability to switch off his own humanity. And technically he wins every confrontation in the movie.

Them running away together was good. The "love" scene was terrible and Sean Young hated it. It literally made her cry on set. The follow up in 2049 was a terrible direction to take it. A replicant made for breeding dies delivering the first baby? Lame.

All four of them should have killed him kek. Zora stopped for no reason just because some other dancers came in, but she had the kill shot lined up. Leon tossed him around a lot when he could have killed him, until Rachel showed up. Pris had him completely dead to rights then decided to run off and do acrobatics. Roy gave up and spared him because he was seconds from dying. No wonder Deckard retired again.

Blade Runner isnt even his career. He was probably shit hot back in the day until killing replica humans gave him PTSD and alcoholism to deal with the shakes. He got his ass kicked by all of them because he was shitfaced drunk the whole movie.

If you're a modern gamer with no patience, you might find it boring and get annoyed.

It has amazing atmosphere, and does some very interesting things with the story. The pixel background art is gorgeous IMO. I would recommend it, I just played the GoG version and I don't think it even needed any fixes to get working, pretty much just opened it and it worked right away.

He's not.
The whole point is he's a shitty human being - even the robot he was chasing after (Roy) had more soul and humanity than he did, hence the tag line MORE HUMAN THAN HUMAN.

I figured that was intentional. They didn't WANT to kill him - They just wanted to be left alone to live their lives. All that Roy wanted in the end was for someone (Deckard) to feel what he felt in that moment; Profound fear of inevitable death. He was never going to actually kill him.

Yes he is a replicant
The original theater version takes out the Unicorn scene, so Gaff leaving the origami unicorn for Deckard at the end seems arbitrary, but Ridley put the Unicorn scene back in the Directors cut, showing Gaff knows Deckard is a replicant, also Gaff says at the end "You have done a man's job, sir".

Deckard is a replicant. So was Tyrell. Batty was originally going to find the dead body of the human Tyrell in a burial chamber in the Tyrell building after he killed the replicant Tyrell, but Ridley was unable to film it.

But that's the point. His job is to go against literal superhumans. There arent many that can even do it at all, and even the best get their asses kicked.
It's why the scene in 2049 where he takes down Bautista is important - to show that replicants can be better Blade runners as well.

Also, Decker getting his ass kicked and generally being shit is a VERY BIG CLUE to whether he is human or not.
One that cant just be retconned into director's cuts.

I cannot believe people still mentally stumble on this every fucking time.

If Tyrell gave Deckard super strength like a regular replicant, HE WOULD NEVER HUNT THE ESCAPED REPLICANTS BECAUSE HE KNOWS THEY WOULD KILL HIM TOO. How the fuck do people still not understand this? They gave Deckard A FUCKING GUN. Gun >super strength.

Ridley was just a guy hired to do a job, he's not an auteur, he did not write the script or come up with the story. Blade Runner is not "his" movie, it's a studio project he had very little creative input on. Most of the iconic status of Blade Runner can be credited to the screenwriters, the set design, the special effect crew, the Vangelis soundtrack and the cast.

It's mentioned in Electric Sheep that he set a new record in catching so many in one day, and he catches four in the movie, which is still a lot of criminals in one case. (Rachel helped for one though.) Keep in mind he is basically a regular bum facing off against four superhuman impersonators and he found them all in a city of tens of millions.

Ridley literally changed the entire movie to suit another narrative. Deckard was 100% unequivocally a human in the movie. There's scenes of him and Holden talking and they've been friends for years and retired replicants for years. Deckard did not just show up out of the blue. Then years later, after the movie was so popular, Ridley decided to go back in and change it all to add le retarded twist because he's stupid like that. He wanted Ripley to get her head torn off and the alien to speak in her voice too, because it's le shocking twist.

Probably being the "best" bladerunner doesnt mean youre physically strong it would mean he has a hiigh kill count and willingness to kill realistic replicants whereas its probably an issue and emotionally pressing for a lot of them. Retard.

Its still intentionally ambiguous, there is a deeper subtext about dreams you are leaving out, when the credits music drops at the end and its hard synth its him dealing with the notion that either his mind was fucked with and he had implanted dreams, or yes hes a replicant. But the sequel definitely clarifies he was a human and because of that his child was hunted to be studied, and thats the official canon. I can see from how you are insulting and attacking the people who replied to you that youre going to violently disagree with me too for no reason at all, you seem like a happy and charming person.

>>211363042
His consumption for of liquor in the movie indicates the killing takes an emotional toll. The scene where he meets rachel in the rainy streets is right after a kill when he has to go get a bottle of booze to ease his mind. So Im not wrong, its a combination of both things we're saying. The point is combat ability is not why hes considered proficient which is what OP was bitching about.

Have you actually watched the scene? He's grabbing her, slamming her against the wall, staring at her intently and being aggressive. It's not romantic.

They're Nexus 6 series replicants the most advanced model Tyrel makes more advanced than anything Decker has had to deal with before. Roy in particular is designed to be a master strategist and a killing machine.

You can thank the retards who made the movie for completely ruining the story. The took out key characters, they took out all of the conflict and reversed everything they left in. Ended up with a jumbled meandering mess that ends with a retarded driving off into the sunset
>his last confrontation with Roy
Just another thing they fucked up. There isn't supposed to be any confrontation, he explicitly states that is something he hates about androids that they don't fight back they just give up. The important part is JR experiencing the spider being resurrected and Rick getting home to find his goat dead leading to a spiral into his own religious experience but they cut both of those out of the movie to make room for more pew pew action bullshit

Another thing they completely reversed for no clear reason. Why have him force himself on her instead of her seducing him to get him out of the game like she has to many before him? It would be such a better scene the way it was supposed to be
What reason do they even have to meet up in the movie? Neither of them had any reason for this meeting, she isn't planning to seduce him and he doesn't need her help because Pris is not played by the same actress as Rachel. Another meaningless scene in an awful meaningless movie

Need more, chud? That scene is remembered bc of a reason, replicants are better in everyway. That gets shown at lenght during the movie, but by the end turns out they're even more righteous than humans lmao, it's the ultimate blow that makes Deckard run away with Rachel, it's pointless to try and kill those damn things.
Deckard is not an invincible hard boiled classic noir detective, he is presented like that at first, but he's just a lanky human that gets constantly pussy whipped by his prey, the closest he gets to being a classic noir main man is when he forces himself on Rachel cuz he sees her as a talking fleshlight. The mercy of Batty convinces Deckard that replicants are kind of more human than humans and makes him see Rachel as something not so disposable. Fuck, Rachel herself is presented as a classic "noir femme fatale", archetype that breaks soon after she finds out she's not a real girl.
Point being, intentional or not, BR is not a noir film, it's neo-noir, or revisited noir, or whatever, it takes noir archetypes and twists them, plus it's too slow, both reasons why people hated it back on the day.

>Back when Replicants were first made illegal on earth anyone could bring their remains in for reward. Only the head was needed as proof though, which is why many hunters took to carrying large blades for decapitation of Replicants. This earned them the name Blade Runner. Later when Replicant hunting became a regulated activity and the police took over the task exclusively, without an alternate title the name Blade Runner stuck even though the practice of decapitation was no longer a thing.
