I thought Blade Runner 2049 was great & I thought it would have been even better without the unnecessary prostitution & V.R. P.A. storylines

100% sure you can tell that same story just as well without the naked statues of women, objectification of actresses etc. It's a lazy choice

Added little to my understanding of the world, of our protagonist or of the themes of the film. Tangential at best. Damaging at worst.

The visual imagination of the film was so extraordinary. I was so happy in many moments. But oh man was I unhappy in that doubled sex scene

I understand your reaction, but believe the scene had a purpose: to deepen the bond between Joi and K, so that severing it would hurt more.

Joi chose to place herself at mortal risk to accompany K. Her subsequent ruthless destruction by Luv then gave motivation to K to go rogue.

The ultimate confrontation between K and Luv was supposed in this way to be freighted with personal meaning for K.

But I see your point, since K's subsequent brief encounter with "another" giant Joi disillusions him, causing him to feel duped and empty.

This mordant postscript on their "relationship" makes it seem meaningful only as grim proof of the futility of an imitation of real love.

Don't get me wrong: I'm not saying the sex scene was a good choice. Only that I can imagine what sort of reasoning might have led to it.

My real and profound complaint with 2049 remains the same: the story simply had no female lead. Hard to think of a good film without one.
