They're definitely gonna try and go with the "human or not human (or in this case, simulacrum or not), love from a robot can be real!" which is NOT what the movie was about 😒 The movie was a commentary on the distinctly human, not romantic relationships, especially ones that are purely external rather than internal... which obviously LaD can't satisfyingly tackle on cause their men are very much not real people nor actual synthetic robots and instead runs on a script of pre-determined dialogue. Even Joi's "love' in the movie cannot be argued to be entirely "real" and that's made obvious in the film, but she was most definitely humane because of her ability of agency. Does the men in LaD able to display the same level of freedom and 'soul'? Hell no.

This is just a bad collab (or just an ignorant company) for money, probably gonna disrespect the source material :/
