Sep 19, 2023 at 18:33 comment added Andres F. @releaseabe Agreed, it had some nice ideas indeed (Joi was clever: it looks like a girlfriend, then K finds it was all a fabricated emotion -- or was it?), but most of the movie missed the mark. Wallace is stupid and Leto chews the scenery up. Luv is beyond stupid -- "I am the best!", really? Deckard showing up -- stupid. Rachael's clone getting killed -- dumb. The whole Rachael thing, actually. Essentially, this is a movie that didn't need to get made. BR ends perfectly, Deckard and Rachael escape and we are not privy to how their lives end, as should be. But Hollywood needs their sequels.
Sep 19, 2023 at 16:11 comment added releseabe @AndresF.: 2049 had some great stuff, new ideas. The stuff with Joi was subtle and interesting.
Sep 19, 2023 at 15:23 comment added Andres F. @releseabe Wallace is a piece of shit in all senses: 1- he is portrayed as a despicable human being, and 2- he is a shitty character in a movie that need not have been made at all :)

Apr 3, 2022 at 19:02 comment added releseabe Look, he is a piece of shit. I see what he does.
Apr 3, 2022 at 18:59 comment added Valorum @releseabe - Wallace sees the big picture. With a biddable and breedable workforce, mankind could extend out so rapidly that even a cataclysm would struggle to halt our existence
Apr 3, 2022 at 18:55 comment added releseabe do you think most humans want to occupy the stars? that is something wallace wants. most people want a place for themselves off-world but i doubt they care how many planets humans live on in total. wallace is a bad guy.
Apr 3, 2022 at 18:52 comment added Valorum @releseabe - For the greater good, you sometimes have to make sacrifices
Apr 3, 2022 at 18:12 comment added releseabe i am sure he would even as he guts newborn replicants and prepares to torture deckard. note also that wallace has been merely inconvenienced by k and deckard -- deckard and ana stelline remain in mortal danger, and now wallace knows everything. ana, whose illness limits her movements, will nonetheless have to flee.
Apr 3, 2022 at 18:03 comment added Valorum @releseabe - He would argue that he's a philanthropist
Apr 3, 2022 at 17:48 comment added releseabe Right: this places Tyrell in opposition to law enforcement and it seems like in 2049, Wallace is an arch criminal, dangerous beyond any criminal in history it could be argued.
Apr 3, 2022 at 17:18 comment added Valorum @releseabe - But then they wouldn't have been 'more human than human'...
Apr 3, 2022 at 14:40 comment added releseabe I think the interesting thing is that Tyrell was sort of the opponent of law enforcement. They could have easily made Replicants detectible in either obvious ways like skin tint or subtler ways, like something that could be scanned reliably using a simple electronic device but Tyrell did not do this.
