In terms of their outcome, I agree, but the franchises you mentioned were at least built on original films that anticipated serials. Blade Runner didn't and to try and justify a sequel, Ridley Scott has simply pretended that the original's perfectly acceptable enigmatic ending was actually just a cliffhanger all along. The beauty (and point) of that ending was that we were never
meant to know.
