anyway as i think i said before, ridley scott used my friend's drawing in 'alien covenant' and paid only £200 for image rights (partly because i forgot to call back and negotiate), so its not like nerds dont rip us off too

Not one friend of mine has said a bad thing about the movie, and friends of color haven't even hinted at a possible racist intent from the movie. I honestly see no issue. In Sci-Fi as a whole, there might be a problem. Not sure. Movies like Ghost in the Shell (remake) have a very inherent problem that I think everyone can agree. I honestly could be way off base but I just don't see the issue. Please enlighten me if I am objectively wrong.
CheerUpBrokeBoy wrote:^ is that a criticism of blade runner just as a film in general, or as a specific narrative universe?
deadkitty's post implied both but what you're saying can be applied to... most movies, really
