Anonymous asked: Razorfist, was Deckard a replicant?

If he is, I think Blade Runner is a much more thin, vapid science fiction film than if Deckard is human. 

As a film about a cop who hunts down false humans, and in so doing loses his humanity… only to have it redeemed by his budding relationship with one of the very replicants he’s sworn to kill? And solidified by the messianic sacrifice of his arch nemesis, the leader of the rogue replicants, Roy Batty? It’s quirky sci-fi, rife with knotty, philosophical dilemmas and a solid main character arc. 

If it’s a film about a dude who doesn’t know he’s a robot… hunting down other robots? Then it’s pretty to look at, and there’s a gimmicky twist at the end. 

For the record, in the novel (‘Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?’), Rick Deckard is human.
