>>33843507I stand by my belief that the whole point of Blade Runner is
>the world might be shit, there might not be any hope, but giving up and dying isn't an option, we've gotta try and find something better even if it doesn't exist (hence the unicorn)And the very first thing 2049 does is go
>actually, here's the world outside the city, it's all fucking dogshit garbage too and sucks, get fuckedAnd it kinda tries to counteract that inherent doomerism by being about a revolution that'll create a better world instead, but they focus on a dude who couldn't give less of a shit and really just wants some meaning in his otherwise pointless life. Which is even more doomer. The "making the world a better place" storyline is just a background element in the story of Ryan Gosling getting laid and killing himself to feel better about being a robot.
They were too cowardly to commit to a truly radical, revolutionary message of any kind. That's the reason.Anyway my oshi is cute. CUTE!
