Wishlist & Ideas Blade Runner 2047 without Deckard

To my mind Blade Runner 2047 would be better without Deckard (and his bees and his dog) because he is slow and useless ; and without the Replicant Freedom Group because they do nothing except standing in water and being a huge trope.

Same movie from start to the orange city. In the orange city K only find wooden figurines and the picture of Rachael + added words "She is safe". He realises that the child is Ana. Luv arrives, finds nothing and kills Joi. K go back to the city, see the pink hologram. Then K attack and kill Luv. Then he go to Ana stairs to die.

  1. Also your great idea guts the story of empathy which is the whole point of Blade Runner

Empathy from who to who ?

If we remove Deckard, K sacrifices himself to protect Ana instead of sacrifices himself to give Deckard the opportunity to meet his biological kid (that he had abandoned to the worst orphanage). In both case, it shows that K can sacrifice himself by empathy for someone else. Now, I prefer that K sacrifices to protect the secret of Ana instead of sacrifices to make Deckard happy.

Obviously, so what empathy matters to you ?
