>>36835828>It could have been called anything else and taken place in any other setting>story happens as a direct result of the first's ending>revolves around and explores replicants specifically, as introduced in the first>dystopic cyberpunk/noir setting tying in directly to the film's [franchise's] themes of corruption, conflict stemming from technology, and deceitNow the movie /could/ have done with less Deckard, but that's really the only way in which it felt unnatural as a sequel. Otherwise it ties in very well to the first movie without feeling forced.
>added nothing of valueIt explores the themes introduced by the first movie more intricately.
>It was a sequel to a movie Is this the new /tv/ meme? BR2049 was a damn good movie in its own right, while expanding on the themes of the first. It's not some Star Wars shit where everything's recycled.
