The nobility stems from Batty believing Deckard to be human, regardless of whether he actually is. Of course, I read the book first, so my opinion of his humanity is pretty set in stone.

This interview question just reinforces my conclusion, based on the recent Alien films, that Ridley has gone fucking bat-shit insane.

It’s not very surprising, sadly. Marvel has always had a tendency toward disregarding past canon and just doing what they want. The example that sticks in my mind is the very original New Warriors series from the 90's. So much growth and character development happened in that series for all the characters involved,…

It’s because the stories are shitty accumulations of one piece of bullshit authorial fiat after another, and Marvel keeps saying, “Okay, look, even if you don’t _like_ this story, you should still drop $150 on it because it’s going to change the Marvel Universe FOREVER and you don’t want to be left out!”

Ah! I fucking love It Follows so much. Still need to catch Oculus.
