Blade Runner 2099 debuts SDCC teaser, set for Nov 25 Prime Video
Soooo right in the middle of some of the biggest anti-immigrant xenophobia I've ever seen in my lifetime, they're doing a Blade Runner project about Replicants "taking it all away" and humans "lost a war" and "how much longer until we have nothing?" Jesus.
FROG WIZARD22“New BLADE RUNNER!” “Oh?” “Starring Hunter Schaefer and Michelle Yeoh!” “Oh!” “About how the oppressed fighting for their rights is a bad thing!” “Oh.”
Black Knight10I… the Replicants were the good guys The fuck
Jeff Harris8You know, the editors putting in a Black person the moment the narrator said "They took it all away" is probably the loudest dogwhistle I've ever seen in my life. Yes, I know you can't see dogwhistles, but dammit, that felt very intentional on the editor and producer's parts.
Matty!8So, confession time: I’ve never actually watched any of the Blade Runner movies. But I’ve always got the impression just through osmosis that the whole point of those movies were that the replicants were functionally human and valued life and stuff?
Brent O’Saur7Someone watched Blade Runner and said to themselves, “But where’s the sympathy for slave owners?”
But the right will still complain it’s woke because there’s a black person somewhere in it.
Jeremy Diamond ☕️7Willing to give this a chance because the series is not cast as though this is going to be a chudfest — Michelle Yeoh and Hunter Schafer in the leads — but hate that I will have to resub to Prime for it
Geometer Edensword2I had my money on paramount being the first outfit to shoehorn Great Replacement into meaningful scifi, but I guess amazon already had this in the pipe, huh
Bix F.2This is getting dinged by a follow but I concur: with the showrunner herself saying ”humans are the second-class citizens” any story dealing with an otherized population taking power deserves scrutiny for how it plays out that scenario. Serialized storytelling comes with serialized reaction.
Eric Sipple2I think it's worth reading what the showrunner is saying about the actual story vs. what read is coming from the trailer because it's a very, very different story: ew.com/blade-runner...

killergoalie.bsky.social51I love the irony of blade runner with Amazon prime watermarks
Chef Andy Lunique3I should probably watch the first 2
Dale Waffle3How did they get her to sound just as disinterested as Harrison Ford was in doing the voiceover?
autoNamed2There are 15 executive producers on this show... yikes
Alex Miles2Very much inspired more by the original rather than 2049. Very intriguing.
Dylan Macri, Cadhla182, Commissions Open29Love the big pants big coat tiny waist silhouette on Schafer's outfit
Augh6i just really dont care what navel gazing idiot bullshit they are doing next lol. the temu matrix uprising subplot of 2049 was straight up embarrassing and yeah just the degree of "yasss give us nothing" already on display is oof the people raised by finance grifters need to have an idea and soon
Steve 🔥🗡💀6Interesting premise and actor choices are pretty fantastic Im seated
🦧 Escape3Sort of ironic that cyberpunk has been completely stripped of any subtext about the nature of our humanity or coping with the toxic realities of a hypercapitalist society and is now exclusively about Cool Jacket.
Ben3I don't care about the plot, I just want the jackets
Ukrainian bandersnatch2Hmm I am rather pleasantly surprised by how it looks. Feels appropriately cinematic, but also doesn't seem to be trying to copy the look of the previous two films, has more colors, more movement, more of a action movie flare. But what we see of the story now is not filling with me confidence
deadbeat club2christ cyberpunk is so dead
Lady Zeon2I feel like no one should use 2099 as a subtitle unless you’re Marvel. It’s too closely associated with their cyberpunk universe. Just like you shouldn’t do a Princes of the Universe needle drop unless you’re Highlander.
Turpie / Nougat!2idk 'replicants are the oppressor now' feels suuuper fucking lazy
People think Blade Runner is about neon-drenched cityscapes, but it's actually about wearing the ugliest shirt and tie combo imaginable. We forget about it because of the jacket, but it's there, lurking.
Subscribe to Radio Free America (link in bio)17Blade Runner is actually about wanting to be murdered by Daryl Hannah
Luke Yoquinto2you know I never thought about it this way, but this is the exact opposite of the Fugitive where it's Ford who is on the run, not the hunter, and yet his outfit is good as hell bamfstyle.com/2016/09/22/f...
Wild that it only took 45 years to get a Blade Runner that asks us to imagine what if women existed outside of the narrow madonna/whore paradigm. This truly is the future! www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Dr8...
Ashley Lynch ✂️🎞️21I know people liked Blade Runner 2049 but if you're wondering the exact point I completely detached from that movie it was when Gosling lays his digitized snow white pure AI mother/girlfriend over top of a physical prostitute so they can be intimate and those are two biggest female characters.
✨️Alexa the Vampire Lover✨️2All the same it's a skip. I am not engaging with anything Amazon related.
"new Blade Runner series" alright, sure "where the replicants rose up and are now The Oppressors" oh there's no way this won't suck ass
Unforgettable, that's what you are7I'm not especially beholden to Blade Runner but I can see that one like a hundred miles away
Nel (Nyanbinary)5david cage crawling through the cracks in the wall before getting his ass kicked: "guess my metaphor WAS artful"
CriticalQuit1Oh cool, another "racism... goes both ways" narrative
applesauce1that is genuinely insane lmfao. “the oppressed will eventually rise up to oppress us!” is like the most common justification for white supremacy
