“In an insane world, buffman crybaby croco mutant was the sanest choice.”
So i watched T2 again the other day, i was shocked how much i subconsciously must have laced D. with Terminator DNA. Only switched the emotional centerpiece from father/son to bf/gf.
Watch T2 by the way, that's on my list top 10 perfect movies list.

Agreed. T2 is one of those rare gems that are as perfect as they can get. I still think there are one or two more differences in Iki and D.'s relationship. For one thing, I think it's more reciprocal. D. doesn't just imitate human patterns and generate appropriate responses, but actually experiences these strange, confusing emotions he's never been programmed for, even if he can't always make sense of them. (On a side note, T2 was in that respect pretty accurate on predicting how machine learning works, wasn't it? And one day, we'll certainly see kids adopt sufficiently advanced ChatBots as BFFs or uncles/aunts and insist they're human, even when they know perfectly well they're not. Curiously, while I found this totally relatable in T2, I know that day will make me feel rather depressed.) Also the way D and Iki depend on each other is, well, not exactly more on equal footing than T2 and John, but more interlaced, if that's the word.
