Blade Runner 2049 (Patreon)

Continuing the discussion that began with our analysis of Blade Runner,  we look at the legacy sequel released in 2017 and directed by Denis  Villeneuve. Blade Runner 2049 intensifies the psy-op of the original  film, making the Monarch tropes and mind control themes far more  obvious. The ever-sus Leto appears as a Elon Musk style tech-oligarch  with Promethean aspirations. Considering the various perspectives  advanced within the film on human/tech hybridity, we find Blade Runner  2049 to be promoting an anti-human worldview even more insidious than  that of the Jared Leto villain.
