Why do they still have blade runners if replicants are in power?

Logically, they would be “retiring” humans…

They retire rogue replicants-

In 2099 Los Angeles, following a Replicant uprising, Replicants are the power brokers in the city while humans have become second-class citizens. Olwen, a Replicant Blade Runner, is nearing the end of her life. She unites with her partner Cora, a human pretending to be a Replicant, to hunt down a gang of rogue Replicants.[2]

I disagree strongly with Ridley Scott- Dekcard is NOT a replicant. Making him one ruins the whole film- which is the replicants are just as human as he is. But that’s just my opinion. I likely will skip this.

Philip K. Dick wrote the character Deckard as a human in the original novel in order to explore the increasing similarity of humans and replicants;[11] for example, the book states explicitly that Deckard passed the Voight-Kampff test. Screenwriter Hampton Fancher has said that he wrote the character as a human, but wanted the film to suggest the possibility that he may be a replicant. When asked, “Is Deckard a replicant?”, Fancher replied, “No. It wasn’t like I had a tricky idea about Deckard that way.”[7] During a discussion panel with Scott to discuss Blade Runner: The Final Cut, Fancher again stated that he believes Deckard is human (Scott’s “idea is too complex”[12]), but also repeated that he prefers the film to remain ambiguous.[13]

Harrison Ford had stated over the years that he considered Deckard to be human. “That was the main area of contention between Ridley and myself at the time,” Ford told an interviewer

Not a very high standard:

“Sushi. That’s what my ex-wife called me…”

Point is, [at a certain cyberpunk level] it does not matter… (even if there is a larger point to be made)

Which is completely consistent with what the synopsis seems to be saying: the replicant Blade Runner teams up with a human Blade Runner to hunt some replicants (or “replicants”…)

“One, you lock the target!Two, you bait the line!” Good times…

I’m here for the series. I liked the look of the trailer.
