Thought it was a great film. But it was a great film on its own. It didn&amp;#x27;t really need the ties to the original. Does the blade runner world really need another piece? Well, idk. I guess I would say its probably going to be pretty good, but I&amp;#x27;d suspect trying to embrace the existing canon is going to harm the potential of the movie more than it will help. The 50 year time jumps are good though.</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>mhh__</author><text>It really cruxes on their being a story to tell.&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#x27;s like people asking if they&amp;#x27;re going to do another film with K? (Which I think is symptom of cinema being saturated with feel good movies where there is no conflict or sacrifice, possibly in funny costumes...). He&amp;#x27;s utterly finished at the end of 2049, there isn&amp;#x27;t any more to say.&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#x27;t know what it would look like but I think a relatively obvious road to go down would probably the ethics of general AI in computers. If you do have your own Joi, is she a slave? Does she &amp;quot;is&amp;quot;, at all?&lt;p&gt;I really hope they land it if it gets made, although at worst it&amp;#x27;ll probably be a really pretty if confusing mess, which is better than most TV shows.</text></comment>

If anything the endorsement goes the other way.</text></comment>
