I never rated Blade Runner that highly. Looked nice.
The sequel was a much better film. Even Jared Leto couldn't spoil it.

This is incorrect and is only worthy of consideration because it finally puts to bed the TOTALLY FRICKING SOUL AND NARRATIVE RUINING NOTION RIDLEY SCOTT HAS PUSHED THAT DECKARD WAS A REPLICANT.
Holy frick I would assassinate Ridley in Minecraft if I could dive down past the jelly of his fricking ego to explain that what made Batty's sacrifice so brilliant not only in the moment but also its delivery was the promise of the Tyrell corporation's motto — MORE HUMAN THAN HUMAN — Batty became more human than human in the moment he saved the life of his hunter. In that world of shit, he was the MOST HUMAN of them all.
Turns my stomach that Final Cut included those fricking unicorn scenes (shot for a totally different film).
Regardless, the OG is better because even tho 2049 is a GREAT film, it hasn't moved the needle culturally in terms of how OTHER sci-fi writers and directors have considered the media.
Blade Runner and its marriage of Chinatown meets Alien single fricking handedly created an entire SEVERAL genres of new fiction and influenced visuals for generations.
The OG is better. Clearly.

Batty didn't just save Deckard's life- HE GAVE HIM BACK HIS HUMANITY.

What you said means OG is a more important movie and 2049 is the better movie.

Jared Leto ms character has the potential for absolute memes due to the utter autism of his character, but it never took off

Also, as much as I genuinely do love 2049, the Jared Leto character was just written as a villain. I wish they'd softened him a bit in that scene when he kills the “newborn”, but he was so ruthless it just makes you see him as one dimensional. He should have cried, which might have explained why Love cries— she “learned it” from him. And maybe he cries all the time for seemingly no reason (depression) and she is trying / learning to mimic those emotions

Yea that character could've used a lot more subtlety. Practically every action of his just screams 'look at me I control life and death I'm literally a god, do you get it yet?'

If he cries every time he “must” kill a newborn because they did not contain a fruitful womb, him crying as a God for failing to create life in the face of his own creation (Love), it would explain why she cries- mimicking a feeling that exists between two opposing viewpoints. Doublethink is impossible for robots- that's what the Voight-Kampff tests always inteded to prove, and that's exactly why they fail.
Edit - in other words, the only real reason his creations haven't evolved wombs is because he continues to directly interfere. He's fricking with their ability to develop their own emotional response because they're beholden to his.
