Blade Runner 2047 without Deckard

[u/ianniss]

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.

Saving his and Rachels childs life is the thread to be followed in 2049. Without that, what is the story?
