What about black lotus? Is it canon? Edit: It is canon. Black Lotus took place in 2032, so to put it in the chronological order, it's a sequel to Blade Runner 2022: Black Out.
5:26 Man...the atmosphere on the part with iggy talking to trixie about the mission, the soundtrack playing combined with his voice, the sun setting sky, the factories and lights passing by in the background is just beautiful.
No. It does not. It is just derivative tripe with a poorly grafted appendix of modern politics stitched on. It is done without understanding or insight into either iteration of original material. FFS, to the world of Blade Runner something like a "human supremacy" movement would have been a POSITIVE CHANGE - that world is wallowing in APATHY. But the makers of this this think that being sad about a lamp in the rain is the correct response. While also presenting a world where mobs can simply destroy other people's EXPENSIVE PROPERTY - where said expensive property is then shown matrix-fuing through armed soldiers while doing ballet. God this is stupid.
Yes it will. Just as original Blade Runner was in & out the theaters in 1 week, 35 years later Blade Runner 2049 gets made due to the underground cult fanatucal fan base that mushroomed in the years after the ‘82 original to sound the alarm that a sequel was not only desired but expected.
Now that 2 Blade Runner films are on the market the fan base will only grow larger with each passing year. Cyberpunk has always been niche genre but one that is still constantly growing & evolving 40 years after Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner film & William Gibson’s Neuromancer novel were brilliantly created into existence in ‘82 & ‘84 respectively.
@@jd5726 I think, sadly you are right. Just like the first film it bombed but has built a dedicated cult fan base. I think further adventures and stories in this wonderful world will be in animation or live action series.
Never would have thought that Bautista would make such an amazing actor. It seems a lot of wrestlers are extremely talented actors. In retrospect you would think they would be since their profession of wrestling is putting on the show. So it seems they have experience to further their careers in such roles as they've been given on the big screen.
He did a solid job for the role. I withold overall judgment of his acting skills since I haven't him in much, but his performance in 2049 was very strong in a movie filled with very strong performances. Without knowing his history, he put enough athleticism on screen to sell the raw physical power of replicants, and also played the subdued emotions brilliantly alongside Gosling. I can't wait to see Dune so I can judge him for more than a scene.
I wouldn't judge wrestling guys from seeing Bautista. He's definitely more skilled than most of them and they usually are definitely not "extremely talented actors". If you think they are, your probably also marveling about the great acting skills in homemade porn movies
Animation is pretty damn good. Has that perfect '80s style to it. As far as I'm concerned the '80s animations were top tier, especially the space battles, complete eye candy.
I agree. One of the key elements in actor training is finding obstacles to fight and a reason as to why fight them - all of which actors translate into their own character development. Any professional athlete arguably has no problem doing that.
I thought Black Lotus was a Masterpiece. Only thing I didn't care for was the Soundtrack IMO not creative enough and had too much of a mainstream vibe to it. The Story, animation, voiceovers were really impressive, again...IMO.
@@Original-Juice I plan to watch black lotus in the future but from what i've seen the animation doesn't look good at all so I want to ask what was good about the story despite the animation
@@Original-Juice black Lotus would've been better if they'd have done it in 2d and if they wrote Niander Wallace better. He programmed his replicants to not kill him but was careless enough to leave the loophole to cripple him. They gave him the MCU Reed Richards treatment
12:05 During Blade Runner 2049 , you can see they added emergency landing on ground lever to police cars because of any electrical issues of car occurs.
I like this way of filling in the gaps. Gaff still being on the job and so there to see the Blackout in '22 makes perfect sense. It wasn't until I watched this I realised they EMP'ed LA as well as physically destroying Tyrell Corporation and all of it's backups. Also, Wallace and his ideas are monstrosities. Not the Replicants-Wallace truly believes that Replicants are the future. That he can make Humanity "better". He doesn't actually care about Humanity, never did. But-he's not Eldon Tyrell. Tyrell's Nexus 7 series were able to have children with a Human, health issues notwithstanding. Wallace has been working to replicate the feat since 2032 and has been unable to, which is why he needs what Rick Deckard knows. But, Eldon Tyrell, in reality, wanted to live forever. Having a Replicant able to have children would solve all of his problems. Transfer his consciousness into the child, updating and repair make him functionally immortal. If he hadn't been killed in 2019, he'd have likely succeeded. Wallace just doesn't know this. Also, Sapper was a Nexus 8 Replicant combat model with actual combat experience who covered his tracks from 2020-BEFORE the Blackout. Freya was entirely correct when she said Sapper LET Joe kill him in '49. This is a man who only finally gave away his secret to save a woman and child he cared for who were facing rape and murder, at least. How much more Human do people want Replicants to be...?
The concept of Replicants having children is a ridiculous one and is probably the biggest problem I have with BR2049. The Tyrell that Batty kills in BR was a Replicant version of the real Tyrell who was already dead and being cryogenically preserved on a higher floor of the Tyrell Corporation. Whether he was able to transfer his consciousness to his Replicant version or not (I would have thought that was impossible and that the Replicant version was just his best effort at making a replica of himself) the fact that Tyrell was able to make a replicant version of himself before dying meant he had already achieved a sense of immortality. Even if they kept the 4 -year lifespan. Each Tyrell replicant would still be able to manufacture a subsequent replacement and add additional memories to it when its own lifespan was coming towards its end (and if consciousness was transferred the first time it would be able to transferred again) and all this without the need for pregnancy, birth and child-rearing.
@@owaffs Actually, no, it's been established that was the original Tyrell who was killed in 2019. He was never able to transfer his consciousness to a Replicant, that was why he kept trying with Replicants 1-8. If a Replicant could have a child? Best of both worlds. He died before he could do it, or he likely would have succeeded. The Owl he's so often seen with held a digital backup of his consciousness, as close as he ever got.
Whoa. Had no idea these even existed and 2049 is one of my favorite films. I've watched Black Lotus as well and read the comics. Hope they continue to expand on this underutilized universe. Thanks for sharing
I rewatched the original Blade Runner last week. And now having watched this masterpiece for the first time was a pleasure. Now I can watch the recent one and be caught up.
@@jd5726 It is exactly like cowboy bebop. The story is Blade Runner but the character design, the fighting scenes, the character movements, it's all Watanabe signature. He himself was heavily influenced by the original Blade Runner in the making of Cowboy Bebop

@@serhat6181 Thanks for that info. I hope those animators work on a Star Wars anime like the one seen on youtube by some guy in Japan who did a 3 to 5 minute short all by himself. That in itself is amazing and the animation he created is incredible. The herky-jerky animation that i see on tv; and i'm talking specifically of the Warner Brother & Marvel cartoons of superheroes. That animation is hard to watch. They only bother animation 9 to 12 frames per second only when there's movement. You would think with the ease of in-between animation by a computer & animators that we would see something in the range of 18 to 22 frames per second. I guess the budgets have shrunk enormously and animators make just above minimum wage.
@@serhat6181 Serhat Good optics on that wouldn't know where to begin to ask who did this anime. Seems too old since GIT SHELL (I & you no doubt see a lotta of rehashed standard anime semi static moves (although they would have been cool in pre GIT SHELL mid late 90's I guess . etc..but hey it's for the masses. Love to have a studio art frame of any of it on my wall hehe
One thing that has always bugged me is that if the population is so massive then synthetics would never be needed, required, nor wanted as masses of cheap easily recruited people would be on hand. I have this problem with the expanse tv series. Earth would literally hurl the masses to the rest of the solar system. It would not be difficult or hard for such societies to get such things accomplished.
the creation of replicants gives " green moral pass" for any violation, abuse, mistreatment and so on that any human would not tolerate ( and at some point not even replicants accept them either...more human than human). Slavery in " another country" ( what we are doing now, 2022, basically) becomes impossible to avoid when you run out of planet, literally, and the concept of " not in my backyard" becomes impossible. Replicants represent the artificial solution on a ( very hypocritical) moral conundrum.
The first one is made by the creators of Cowboy Bebop The second one is made by the creators of the original Blade Runner The third one is made by the creators of the second Blade Runner There is a reason why this has less than a million views and that is because the public doesn't know Talent when they see it Welcome to the underground my friends
The reason this has less than a million views may have more to do with the fact that it was shared on an individual's page rather than an official outlet. The first and second shorts have over 3 million views each on the Warner Bros site, and the third is just under 2 million.
The first blade runner did terrible at the box office , but it became a sci Fi cult classic that cried out for a sequel. And we got it , and I must say it wasn't a disappointment. The pressure was on to compete with a dream , it's like your first kiss . You can't top it but you can match it.
It’s interesting that wallace is blind, he’s so confident with his logic he was willing to take out his vision in order to solidify his morals. Very interesting character.
I did not know these existed until i was watching music videos. Verger was one i saw, it was to the first short movie here and was amazing. I enjoyed these (so far, only seen blackout). They show so much about humanity.
I watched on IMAX Blade Runner 2049 in 9017 after the devastation of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico , man, I lived a real black out from September 22 to December 20, no electricity , all running by inverter power generators , so I felt the Blade Runner atmosphere all that time
2049 is a worthy successor. It captures the atmosphere of the predecessor very well and logically continues the story. Too bad that not all sequels are that good.
I'm about to watch 2049, looks awesome and looked forward to it after watching the origonal but got youtube suggestions that it "failed" lmao, will see I hope it's as good as its cinematics
@@starwarsorsomething5703 ah ok! Do you know why it flopped at the box office? I watched it now and I think it's amazing, not only aesthetically very beautiful (especially for big cyberpunk fans like me) but imho it continued the philosophical themes of the 1.movie very well.
Blade Runner has and always will be my favorite film of all-time, regardless of genre. When they made the sequel and all of this new lore for the franchise, it added to the existing Blade Runner world in a way that positively impacts what we already know. Most franchises worry about sequels and any other media not being able to add positively to the canon. Blade Runner doesn't have that problem.
@@dmor6696 afaik, second renessaince and this are made by the same director: shinichiro watanabe. the guy also has some masterpieces like cowboy bebop, samurai champloo, terror in resonance.
Thank you for sharing, i had only seen snippets of this and i really love OG and 2049. I would love to see a conclusion or additional storyline if it happens:)
Ironnically, the director of the first one, Shinichiro Watanabe was the guy who made Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo and directed two of the shorts in the Animatrix, "Detective Story" and "kid Story" I remember seeing an interview with Watanabe years ago wherein he was asked about his involvement in Animatrix and he mentioned how much he loved Second Renaissance and how it was his favorite. I can't help but think he had it in mind when making Blackout 2022.
2022 Blackout is like a prologue or pilot to Black Lotus. 2036 Nexus Dawn is like not only the first prologue to Blade Runner 2049, but also the first prologue to the unofficial spin-off about Soldier 1998. And 2048 Nowhere To Run is like either the first or second prologue to Blade Runner 2049.
@@FrankHavok316 it’s worse than I expected. I thought they’re gonna use the same 3D art style as the animated Altered Carbon film which I don’t really like but still not as bad as what the trailer has shown me, the trailer looks like it came out in the early 2000’s, and I’ve seen 3D animations in the early 2000’s that even better than that.
When I first saw this back in 2017, I thought Jared Leto's cadence and inflection made him an interesting character. 5 years later I just realized he talks exactly like the G Man from Half Life.
20:57 i'm glad they left Adam Savage in the scene just as a little easter egg for the fans. they filmed more where adam's character interacts with the sapper, but it was cut. the last two shorts really should have been cut into the movie and filmed by the main unit or at least one of the production units. they add crucial story elements lol. the movie does absolutely nothing to explain who wallace is, why he is allowed to make replicants, why or how his replicants are different in any way, and why or how he got to his place of power
So... an angel. They do God's bidding without hesitation or question. Lucifer Morningstar (Samael) was granted free will, hence his rebellion. He convinced others that they should follow him as he was doing God's bidding (which in a way he was, as part of the Plan).
It's quite interesting how many nicely placed references they used here. Especially in Black Out. And how they are better than the actual sequel. Are - because a short film is a very limited production with a clear goal - to wrap up the idea in a short form. The works are clear, interesting, with a nice set, and bringing more meaning to the set.
Blade runner 2049 was so good, it’s a shame there wasn’t a market for it. Everybody has to seem marvel level comedic relief in every movie these days to give it good reviews. The bleak seriousness of 2049 didn’t sell.
Agree, it is sad that everything as you say today have to be or have comedy level relief to get critical acclaim and good reviews. The story of blade runner 2049 is very well developed and thought through with good realistic action, could have been better lines served with more emotion to get the viewer interaction with the characters better but other than that it’s a really solid movie. I hope they will make prequel feature films from the blackout + jump to 2036, and 2048 as setups to 2049 . Make a feature film about the start of the uprising of the replicant army and the ensuing war I suspect 2053? and a sequel wrapping up the timeline and letting us se the replicants start reproducing with them gaining enough body’s to establish there own government, institutions, army and society living together peacefully with equal rights as humanity.
Why was the nuke launched in the first place? I never did understand that. Yes, it was used to emp fry a lot of tech, but that was the replicant's purpose, what was the military's reason for the launch?
bruh 2048 makes the beginning of 2049 even sadder now
The entire Story is sad. Eh?

Seems too old since GIT SHELL (I & you no doubt see a lotta of rehashed standard anime semi static moves (although they would have been cool in pre GIT SHELL mid late 90's I guess . etc..but hey it's for the masses. Love to have a studio art frame of any of it on my wall hehe
One thing that has always bugged me is that if the population is so massive then synthetics would never be needed, required, nor wanted as masses of cheap easily recruited people would be on hand. I have this problem with the expanse tv series. Earth would literally hurl the masses to the rest of the solar system. It would not be difficult or hard for such societies to get such things accomplished.
youre missing the point. Replicants were eventually made to do the things humans couldnt do.
I agree that they are an outlet but I think humans take more resources and are more fragile. You have to feed them and treat them appropriately.
@@FrogAtog you do have to feed them, but not necessarily treat them nicely. that's why they got suicide nets in china lol.
@@FrogAtog except they made replicants illegal on Earth so clearly they could make due without them on Earth to begin with.
the creation of replicants gives " green moral pass" for any violation, abuse, mistreatment and so on that any human would not tolerate ( and at some point not even replicants accept them either...more human than human). Slavery in " another country" ( what we are doing now, 2022, basically) becomes impossible to avoid when you run out of planet, literally, and the concept of " not in my backyard" becomes impossible. Replicants represent the artificial solution on a ( very hypocritical) moral conundrum.
The first one is made by the creators of Cowboy Bebop
The second one is made by the creators of the original Blade Runner
The third one is made by the creators of the second Blade Runner
There is a reason why this has less than a million views and that is because the public doesn't know Talent when they see it
Welcome to the underground my friends
You are very correct
@@t9clan346 ............ I'm so sorry
The reason this has less than a million views may have more to do with the fact that it was shared on an individual's page rather than an official outlet. The first and second shorts have over 3 million views each on the Warner Bros site, and the third is just under 2 million.
@@Bad_Wolf_Media Exactly. Lol at that "Welcome to the underground" dude. The shorts are on Warner's official youtube
The reason is more likely no one really knows they exist. I only found them today due to a random comment on another blade runner video.
Honestly if they made that 2022 storyline into a full fledged anime i would watch the hell out of it. That was beautiful
Period!
Jared Leto being a god-complex inventor was perfect casting 😂
He overacts.
i think he is just fine, no too brilliant, not too lowkey
💀
I don't want to see that asshole in anything really. I hate that guy
The first blade runner did terrible at the box office , but it became a sci Fi cult classic that cried out for a sequel. And we got it , and I must say it wasn't a disappointment. The pressure was on to compete with a dream , it's like your first kiss . You can't top it but you can match it.
And second film also gets unrecognised and flopped
@@kid_girl_lover It was ok but it felt like it was missing something.
It didn't do so well in the US, but did great oversea...
Blade runner 2049 is a masterpiece
Fu
It’s interesting that wallace is blind, he’s so confident with his logic he was willing to take out his vision in order to solidify his morals. Very interesting character.
I did not know these existed until i was watching music videos. Verger was one i saw, it was to the first short movie here and was amazing.
I enjoyed these (so far, only seen blackout). They show so much about humanity.
I’m so glad they covered the black out since it was constantly mention in the movie but not really showing or expressed the way this has
I had only JUST heard about these recently, glad to see someone posted it!
I watched on IMAX Blade Runner 2049 in 9017 after the devastation of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico , man, I lived a real black out from September 22 to December 20, no electricity , all running by inverter power generators , so I felt the Blade Runner atmosphere all that time
in 9017 wtf is this typo or what
I wish this was a full series
23:15 No good deed goes unpunished
Gonna say it, don't forget the 1998 film "Soldier" everyone does, but not me.
True.
But they were raised from kids not manufactured right?
@@c3aloha Genetically MANUFACTURED in some modern day electronic womb type machine

@@c3aloha They're replacements were Replicants.
Watched Blade Runner last night. Checked this video out before I see Blade Runner 2049. I hear it’s amazing! Am I wrong?
2049 is a worthy successor. It captures the atmosphere of the predecessor very well and logically continues the story.
Too bad that not all sequels are that good.
Felt Doctor Sleep is a worthy sequel very much in vein of Blade Runner 2049.
I'm about to watch 2049, looks awesome and looked forward to it after watching the origonal but got youtube suggestions that it "failed" lmao, will see I hope it's as good as its cinematics
@@MaryamMful that video is probably referring to the failure at the box office, not in the movie itself
@@starwarsorsomething5703 ah ok! Do you know why it flopped at the box office? I watched it now and I think it's amazing, not only aesthetically very beautiful (especially for big cyberpunk fans like me) but imho it continued the philosophical themes of the 1.movie very well.
Blade Runner has and always will be my favorite film of all-time, regardless of genre. When they made the sequel and all of this new lore for the franchise, it added to the existing Blade Runner world in a way that positively impacts what we already know. Most franchises worry about sequels and any other media not being able to add positively to the canon. Blade Runner doesn't have that problem.
Thank you for this video
Brilliant. All 3 prequels add so much and should have been integrated into the Film.
That beggining.....
Animatrix - the second renessaince
They thought i wouldn't notice
D Mor RIGHT So good tho
Yea I noticed immediately.
@@iant720 true. to be honest the drawings are very similar, maybe the same studio did this. not my job to search for it tho, i am too tired lol
@@dmor6696 afaik, second renessaince and this are made by the same director: shinichiro watanabe. the guy also has some masterpieces like cowboy bebop, samurai champloo, terror in resonance.
Yeah i still got Animatrix DVD in spanish version
Thank you!
I forgot that these existed. What a pleasant reminder.
Thx! MITHO! I see this this as the 'Animatrix' for BladeRunner! It fills in soo much! (Ka-BOOM!)
Brilliant animation. Gorgeous work. Love it!
Thank you for this upload, looking forward to watching it!
I love when research pays off and you see cool ass shit like this 8:57 while knowing the story behind Replicant
Thank you for sharing, i had only seen snippets of this and i really love OG and 2049. I would love to see a conclusion or additional storyline if it happens:)
I believe blade runner 2099 the series is coming out in a year or 2
The first one reminds me of the 'Animatrix' short 'The Second Renaissance (parts 1+2)'.
Yes agreed✌👍😁
Ironnically, the director of the first one, Shinichiro Watanabe was the guy who made Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo and directed two of the shorts in the Animatrix, "Detective Story" and "kid Story"
I remember seeing an interview with Watanabe years ago wherein he was asked about his involvement in Animatrix and he mentioned how much he loved Second Renaissance and how it was his favorite. I can't help but think he had it in mind when making Blackout 2022.
2022 Blackout is like a prologue or pilot to Black Lotus. 2036 Nexus Dawn is like not only the first prologue to Blade Runner 2049, but also the first prologue to the unofficial spin-off about Soldier 1998. And 2048 Nowhere To Run is like either the first or second prologue to Blade Runner 2049.
I giggled when it was revealed he was taking control of the missile by spamming the tab key repeatedly or something lol
So sad to see that the act of heroism by Sapper Morton was ultimately his downfall as well.
Great animation but the plotarmor at 9:16 is too funny.
Guys got the aim of a Stormtrooper
If Iggy's incep date was 9/30/2019, then he was "born" on Rosh Hashana. Sapper's incep date is the day after Purim.
Are those some Jewish thing?
@@RetroJack Jewish holidays.
@@winternow2242 Ah ok, never heard of them. No doubt they're important to some people.
20:58 Damn, that guy cut off Dave Bautista with a whistle, what a Savage
I see what you did in there :)
I didn't even know these existed!
Cheers, imma watch 'em tonight.
Unfortunately the Blade Runner anime won’t have art styles like this....
Yeah it's too late given Magna maybe in the mid to late nineties
I just saw the trailer and it sucks
@@FrankHavok316 it’s worse than I expected. I thought they’re gonna use the same 3D art style as the animated Altered Carbon film which I don’t really like but still not as bad as what the trailer has shown me, the trailer looks like it came out in the early 2000’s, and I’ve seen 3D animations in the early 2000’s that even better than that.
Fun fact: Soldier 1998 with Kurt Russell it's not only sidequel to Blade Runner 1982, but also prequel to Blade Runner 2049.
8:21 "No heaven or hell for us, this world is all we got"
Thank you. Really good stuff.
We need a blade runner series following this guy where he's played by trevante rhodes ASAP
I believe they are coming out with a blade runner 2099 series
When Dave Bautista tries to look dramatic he always looks like he's trying to hold in a sneeze
6:18 THIS IS SO SICK!!!!!!
Love this story, love the animation. That blade runner story should have been turned into a series.
Funny how the guards look exactly like the rebels and shoot exactly like the stormtroopers in Star Wars.
Do you have any idea how satisfying these gunshots are? I want these sound effects in the next gun game.
I’ve already seen this, but a gremlin sent me here.
Hell yeah, investigator.
;)
👀
Yeehaw investigator
o7
Awesome shots man!
Shuko Murase's animation is extraordinery.
thanks for the upload! convenient
feels like Ghost in the shell and bladerunner should have a cross over universe
They cross polinated
Nice to see there Adam Savage from MythBusters at 20:58
When I first saw this back in 2017, I thought Jared Leto's cadence and inflection made him an interesting character. 5 years later I just realized he talks exactly like the G Man from Half Life.
20:57 i'm glad they left Adam Savage in the scene just as a little easter egg for the fans. they filmed more where adam's character interacts with the sapper, but it was cut. the last two shorts really should have been cut into the movie and filmed by the main unit or at least one of the production units. they add crucial story elements lol. the movie does absolutely nothing to explain who wallace is, why he is allowed to make replicants, why or how his replicants are different in any way, and why or how he got to his place of power
A detective time travels ahead so we know to watch this prior. It's elementary, right?
The girl reminds me so much of Priss...innocent but deadly... very glad to have found these 3 films!
This is excellent. Watanabe is always great with his animation team.👌🏿👍🏿😎🌴🌙
Thanks!..didn't know these existed!!
Imagine if black lotus actually tried to deliver on story
6:09 For some reason, this short picture is the most beautiful anime impression for me.
They should do a bigger movie from Black Out...
I would love it!!
Man I hope the upcoming Blade Runner anime (Black Lotus) is just like this! I know Watanabe won’t go wrong!
Thanks for this 🙂
"This is an angel... and I made him."

LIKE AN ANGEL WITH CRUEL AND MERCILESS INTENT-
So... an angel. They do God's bidding without hesitation or question. Lucifer Morningstar (Samael) was granted free will, hence his rebellion. He convinced others that they should follow him as he was doing God's bidding (which in a way he was, as part of the Plan).
Incredible work
How did I just find out about these... After rewatching BR2049 I can't help but wish Denis would take on another, set in 2079 for ex.
I didn't even know these existed!
When first released.. I remember seeing the Director explaining them, encouraging Us as Fans to watch them...
It's quite interesting how many nicely placed references they used here. Especially in Black Out. And how they are better than the actual sequel. Are - because a short film is a very limited production with a clear goal - to wrap up the idea in a short form. The works are clear, interesting, with a nice set, and bringing more meaning to the set.
This is like the Animatrix
Excellent video!!!!
has an aeon flux nature to it... nice
@7:35 'Just look up and to the left!' Wowzie!
Blade runner 2049 was so good, it’s a shame there wasn’t a market for it. Everybody has to seem marvel level comedic relief in every movie these days to give it good reviews. The bleak seriousness of 2049 didn’t sell.
Agree, it is sad that everything as you say today have to be or have comedy level relief to get critical acclaim and good reviews. The story of blade runner 2049 is very well developed and thought through with good realistic action, could have been better lines served with more emotion to get the viewer interaction with the characters better but other than that it’s a really solid movie.
I hope they will make prequel feature films from the blackout + jump to 2036, and 2048 as setups to 2049 . Make a feature film about the start of the uprising of the replicant army and the ensuing war I suspect 2053? and a sequel wrapping up the timeline and letting us se the replicants start reproducing with them gaining enough body’s to establish there own government, institutions, army and society living together peacefully with equal rights as humanity.
Why was the nuke launched in the first place? I never did understand that. Yes, it was used to emp fry a lot of tech, but that was the replicant's purpose, what was the military's reason for the launch?
I think it was to destroy the information about the replicants. So people can't identify them.
