Honestly, I really like the visuals in this teaser. I’m more excited for this now than I was before. It looks very cyberpunk.

    In universe lore is that synthetics are pre programmed to die. They live very short lives. That’s like, the whole plot of the first blade runner.

      “the lore” also states Rachael didn’t have a programmed obsolescence and since Deckard as a replicant is all but confirmed these days with even Ford on board we can assume Deckard didn’t either.

        It was never openly stated. Whatever they write on that matter will certainly be a retcon. There’s no canonical reason for Deckard to not die just as any other synth. He was just a glorified executioner after all. It is like putting WiFi on a letter opener. Sure, it could be done, but what’s the point? There’s no in universe reason for that to happen.

      That doesn’t change the conspiracy theorey?

      I mean the woman who he runs away with is a replicamt, and special made. Who’s to say hes not an illegal one?

      Wouldn’t that make sense why the replicants in the first movie hunted him? To get them to live longer… Like him perhaps?
