Blade Runner's Replicants rebel because they were given free will, so why would Tyrell Corp do that? Well, Blade Runner's origin story explains why.
The Replicants in Blade Runner have always been a bit of a collective conundrum. Why would the Tyrell Corporation create things with the capacity to rebel? Why would the police establish an entire unit of Blade Runners to then hunt these things rather than simply hold Tyrell accountable and make it design the Replicants differently? Well, in the origin story for the Replicants and the Blade Runners who hunt them, all that is explained with one simple paradox.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT In 1982’s Blade Runner, it is explained that Replicants are artificial people created by the Tyrell Corporation, and are essentially manufactured slaves. The Replicants are used on off-world colonies, so humans don’t have to risk their lives unnecessarily. Replicants are stronger and faster than any living human, but they don’t live as long.
Allowing Replicants to Feel & Be Self-Aware Ensures High Productivity Levels In Blade Runner: Origins #2 by K. Perkins, Mellow Brown, and Fernando Dagnino, an LAPD detective name Cal Moreaux is investigating the apparent suicide of a Replicant bioengineer, Lydia Kine, at Tyrell Corporation headquarters. There, Cal also Lydia’s lab partner, Effie Koropey, who tells him that the two of them were working on a completely different kind of Replicant known as the Nexus-5.
Replicants' Free Will Isn't an Accident Effie explains that the Replicants of Blade Runner are able to think and feel like humans do to make their work more efficient and productive. Mindless machines can only do what they’re told, whereas humans can innovate, update, and overall improve upon how a job is done and what it takes to make it better. On off-world jobs like the ones Replicants were used for, this was integral in the continued success of these colonies and worksites.
The Tyrell Corp gave Replicants the capacity to think for themselves to make them as close to human workers as possible for the sake of continued and ever-increasing productivity on off-world colonies, but that also comes with free will. Many Replicants come to the conclusion that the best thing for them to do is escape to Earth and live their lives the way they want to, not just think of ways to make their jobs better for themselves and the company.
